Land used in agricultural and forestal production within the agricultural and forestal district of local significance shall automatically qualify for an agricultural or forestal value assessment on such land pursuant to Chapter 4, Article 19 of the Fairfax County Code and to Section 58-769.4 et seq. of the Code of Virginia, if the requirements for such assessment contained therein are satisfied;

(4)

The district shall be reviewed by the Board of Supervisors at the end of the eight-year period and that it may by ordinance renew the district or a modification thereof for another eight-year period. No owner of land shall be included in any agricultural and forestal district of local significance without such owner's written approval;

The applicant shall implement and abide by the recommendations of the Forest Management Plan which was prepared by the Area Forester in October 1990 for the life of the Swope Local Agricultural and Forestal District.
