(a) After the district has been formed, an owner of winegrape growing acreage in the district may present to the district board a request in writing for the exclusion of that land or any part of the land from the district upon a showing that the land or part of the land will not be benefited by the activities of the district. Factors that the district board may consider in its determination for exclusion shall include an affidavit from the owner that the plants have been removed from the land and will not be replanted within the foreseeable future. However, should the excluded land be planted to winegrapes, the landowner shall be required to inform the district, in writing, within 30 days of planting.

(b) After receipt of the request, the district board shall cause an investigation of the parcel of land to be made and, if the district board determines that the land or part of the land will not be benefited by the activities of the district, the district board shall exclude the winegrape acreage from the district and immediately certify this fact to the county assessor and the county auditor or tax collector.

(c) Any owner of winegrape acreage outside of, or otherwise not included in, the district may present to the district board a request in writing for inclusion of the land in the district.
