| 21 | 21 | or a request of the property owner may petition the municipality to deannex such | |
| 22 | 22 | property, if: | |
| 23 | 23 | (A) The deannexation of the property does not create an area of | |
| 24 | 24 | unincorporated territory that is completely surrounded by municipal boundaries, | |
| 25 | 25 | except for such real property that is under a permanent conservation easement; | |
| 26 | 26 | and | |

| 34 | 34 | (iii) A business in which the majority ownership is held by | |
| 35 | 35 | individuals who qualify under subdivision (c)(1)(B)(i) or (c)(1)(B)(ii). | |
