A. Any person claiming an interest in real property that the resolution discloses is situated in the district or any qualified elector of the district may file a written objection with the clerk before 5:00 p.m. on the business day preceding the date and time set for the hearing. The objection may raise one or more of the following:

1. That the objector's property would not be benefited from the improvements set forth in the general plan and that the property should be excluded from the district.

2. That the district should not be formed, stating the specific reasons.

3. That the general plan should be modified, stating the reasons for modification.

B. At the hearing, including any adjournments or continuances, the governing body shall hear and pass only on the written objections and the testimony and evidence presented in support of or opposition to the objections.

C. Testimony at the hearing need not be under oath, unless requested by any owner or qualified elector or required by the governing board. Requests by owners or qualified electors that the testimony be under oath must be made in writing and be filed with, or served on, the clerk before the hearing begins or the request is deemed waived.
