A zoning ordinance may provide that petitions brought by property owners,

or not any member of the local planning commission or governing body has any
interest in such property, either individually, by ownership of stock in a
corporation owning such land, partnership, as the beneficiary of a trust, or the
settlor of a revocable trust or whether a member of the immediate household of
any member of the planning commission or governing body has any such interest.
