Practice question
A component city has 800 hectares of agricultural land and 3,200 hectares of other land when it enacts a reclassification ordinance. It proposes 150 agricultural hectares and uses ten percent of its entire 4,000-hectare territory as the ceiling. No authority to exceed the ordinary cap exists. Which is correct?
- Using all land produces the statutory base.
- The proposal is automatically valid because 150 is below 400.
- The cap is 80 hectares; using nonagricultural territory improperly inflates the base.
- The cap is measured from the mayor’s personal property.
- Every city uses the same fifteen-percent cap.
