The petition for the formation of a county water district to include all or part of Pleasant Valley, Ventura County, may be signed by either:
(a) The number of voters required by Section 30202, or
(b) Ten percent of the owners of land within the proposed district.
The provisions of this section shall apply only to the formation of a county water district in all or part of Pleasant Valley, Ventura County.
The special provisions are necessary because in the Pleasant Valley area in Ventura County much of the land is owned by persons living in the near-by communities of Oxnard, Ventura, Camarillo, and other near-by towns and many of the persons residing on the land are not the owners of the land and the owners wish to form a county water district. The owners will be the ones primarily concerned with such a district and the ones who will be supporting such a district and not the resident nonowners.
