At any time not later than the close of the public hearing, any owner of property within the proposed area of benefit may object to the proposed public facilities project(s), or to the extent of the area to be included within the area of benefit, or to the facilities benefit assessment(s) proposed to be imposed upon the properties within the area of benefit or to any or all of the foregoing. Such protest must be in writing, signed by the protester, and must contain a description of the property in which each signer thereof is interested sufficient to identify the same. If the signers are not shown on the last equalized assessment roll as the owner of that property, the protest must contain or be accompanied by written evidence that such signers are the owner(s) of such property. All such protests shall be delivered to the city clerk, and no other protests or objections shall be considered. Any protest may be withdrawn by the owners requesting the same, in writing, at any time prior to the conclusion of the public hearing. Any protest not made at the time and in the manner provided shall be deemed to be waived voluntarily by any person who might have made such protest and such person shall be deemed to have consented to the proposed public facilities project(s), the extent of the area to be included within the area of benefit, the facilities benefit assessment(s) proposed to be imposed upon the properties within the area of benefit and any other act, determination, or proceeding on which protest could be made.
