11-2-37. Special zoning area--Establishment on application or on board's initiative--Special zoning area not permitted if comprehensive plans or zoning ordinances adopted. If an area within a county and not within a municipality becomes so situated that a zoning ordinance or any other purpose or procedure set forth in this chapter is advisable, persons within the area may apply to the board to establish the area as a special zoning area or the board may on its own initiative establish the area as a special zoning area, pursuant to this chapter. No special zoning area may be formed in a county in which a county wide comprehensive plan and zoning ordinances have been adopted. The formation of a special zoning area is only valid in a county that has not adopted a county wide comprehensive plan and zoning ordinances. The board may establish a special zoning area on its own initiative if the special zoning area comprises an area of at least five square miles.
