KCC §26-5.8

When a Landowner Protest Can Block Early Termination

Read the official text at ecode360.com ↗

If enough landowners in the district file written objections to a proposed early termination rule, that rule cannot be included in the final ordinance. The objection must be filed before or at the hearing and must come from more than 55% of the land or owners. If the objection is withdrawn enough, the rule can stay. After a successful protest, the same rule cannot be proposed again for one year.
