   Under the legislation, a neighborhood conservation district can be sought in 
   two ways: through a community group application, 

Is there any definition of a "community group".  It seems that I could
get together with my next door neighbor and my friend who used to live
around the block (but now lives in Cape May) and call ourselves a
Community Group.  Which is fine with me; freedom of association means
we can get together and form groups and call ourselves whatever we
want, and freedome of speech means that this group can petition the
government.  If the government assumes that these three people
actually represent the neighborhood, that's their problem.  The
community still gets a chance to vote it down.

   or through a petition signed
   by 30 percent of property owners who live in the community. 

Interesting - renters don't get a vote, and absentee landlords don't
get a vote.
