    5  county or one municipality, sufficiently contiguous lands
    6  located within the county or municipality which the petitioner
    7  anticipates adding to the boundaries of the district within 10
    8  years after the effective date of the ordinance establishing the
    9  district may also be identified. If such sufficiently contiguous
   10  land is identified, the petition must include a legal
   11  description of each additional parcel within the sufficiently
   12  contiguous land, the current owner of the parcel, the acreage of
   13  the parcel, and the current land use designation of the parcel.
   14  At least 14 days before the hearing required under s.
   15  190.005(2)(b), the petitioner must give the current owner of
   16  each such parcel notice of filing the petition to establish the
   17  district, the date and time of the public hearing on the
   18  petition, and the name and address of the petitioner. A parcel
   19  may not be included in the district without the written consent
   20  of the owner of the parcel.
   21         1. After establishment of the district, a person may
   22  petition the county or municipality to amend the boundaries of
   23  the district to include a previously identified parcel that was
   24  a proposed addition to the district before its establishment. A
   25  filing fee may not be charged for this petition. Each such
   26  petition must include:
   27         a. A legal description by metes and bounds of the parcel to
   28  be added;
   29         b. A new legal description by metes and bounds of the
   30  district;
   31         c. Written consent of all owners of the parcel to be added;
   32         d. A map of the district including the parcel to be added;
   33         e. A description of the development proposed on the
   34  additional parcel; and
   35         f. A copy of the original petition identifying the parcel
   36  to be added.
   37         2. Before filing with the county or municipality, the
   38  person must provide the petition to the district and to the
   39  owner of the proposed additional parcel, if the owner is not the
   40  petitioner.
   41         3. Once the petition is determined sufficient and complete,
   42  the county or municipality must process the addition of the
   43  parcel to the district as an amendment to the ordinance that
   44  establishes the district. The county or municipality may process
   45  all petitions to amend the ordinance for parcels identified in
   46  the original petition, even if, by adding such parcels, the
   47  district exceeds 2,500 acres.
   48         4. The petitioner shall cause to be published in a
   49  newspaper of general circulation in the proposed district a
   50  notice of the intent to amend the ordinance that establishes the
   51  district, which notice shall be in addition to any notice
   52  required for adoption of the ordinance amendment. Such notice
   53  must be published at least 10 days before the scheduled hearing
   54  on the ordinance amendment and may be published in the section
   55  of the newspaper reserved for legal notices. The notice must
   56  include a general description of the land to be added to the
   57  district and the date and time of the scheduled hearing to amend
   58  the ordinance. The petitioner shall deliver, including by mail
   59  or hand delivery, the notice of the
