Nothing in this act contained shall prohibit the legislative body, within said one-year period, from commencing and carrying on new proceedings for the construction of a portion of the improvement or the acquiring of a portion of the acquisition so protested against if it finds, by the affirmative vote of four-fifths of its members, that the owners of a majority of the property within the area of the assessment district to be established under said new proceedings are in favor of going forward with said portion of the improvement or acquisition.
