The supervisors of any district shall have authority to formulate regulations, as hereinafter provided, governing the use of lands within the district in the interest of conserving soil, controlling soil and stream bank erosion and promoting conservation of natural resources and drainage. The supervisors may conduct such public meetings and public hearings upon regulations proposed to be enacted as may be necessary to assist them in this work. The supervisors shall not have authority to enact such land-use regulations into ordinances unless a majority of the owners of land lying within the boundaries of the district cast their votes for the approval of the proposed ordinance. The approval of the proposed ordinance by a majority of the votes cast in the referendum shall not be deemed to require the supervisors to enact the proposed ordinance. The regulations to be adopted by the supervisors under the provisions of this chapter may include provisions for conserving soil resources, soi
