A. The board or commission of a county with a population of less than two million persons may prepare specific zoning plans for designated parcels of land, which shall include a text and maps of a land use plan and specific zoning, sign, street and other regulations for implementation of the county master plans.  All property owners within the boundaries of the specific zoning plan shall give written consent before the plan may be established.  A specific zoning plan shall not be adopted if it creates an area that is not within the plan but is completely surrounded by the plan boundaries.
