A proposed zone shall contain at least 12 voters, as defined in § 359 of the Elections Code. However, where there are fewer than 12 registered voters within a proposed zone, the public agency may form a zone if the county health officer determines that an existing or potential public health hazard exists. The board of supervisors shall receive a notice of this determination.
