Districts; zoning less than entire jurisdiction. <br />A county may divide its territorial jurisdiction into districts of any number, shape, <br />and area that it may consider best suited to carry out the purposes ofIthis Part. Within <br />these districts a county may regulate and restrict the erection, construction, <br />reconstruction, alteration, repair, or use of buildings, structures, or land. Such <br />districts may include, but shall not be limited to, general use districts, in which a <br />variety of uses are permissible in accordance with general standards; overlay districts, <br />in which additional requirements are imposed on certain properties within one or <br />more underlying general or special use districts; and special ' use districts or <br />conditional use districts, in which uses are permitted only upon the issuance of a <br />special use permit or a conditional use permit. Property may be placed in a special <br />use district or conditional use district only in response to a petition by the owners of <br />all the property, to be included. Except as authorized by the foregoing, and by G.S. <br />153A -340. all regulations shall be uniform for each class or kind of building <br />throughout each district, but the regulations in one district may differ from those in <br />other districts. <br />A county may determine that the public interest does not require that the entire <br />territorial jurisdiction -of the County be zoned and may designate one or more <br />portions of that jurisdiction as a zoning area or areas. A zoning area must originally <br />contain at least 640 acres and at least 10 separate tracts of land in separate ownership <br />and may thereafter be expanded by the addition of any amount of territory. A zoning <br />area may be regulated in the same manner as if the entire county were zoned, and <br />the remainder of the county need not be regulated." <br />Sec. 4.
