      2.  If, at or before the time fixed in the initiating ordinance and notice, written protest is filed, signed by a majority of the owners of property within such proposed district, the district shall not be established.

      3.  If any written protests are filed and the board of county commissioners determines that the protests so filed represent less than a majority of the owners of property within the district, the board of county commissioners, in its discretion but subject to the limitation provided by NRS 318.070, may proceed with the creation of the district.
