Defendants submitted special-use permit application to County for restricted landing area (RLA) on their property, and County Board passed ordinance granting permit. Plaintiff filed declaratory judgment action, and court found ordinance unconstitutional and entered permanent injunction against Defendants. Court properly found that special-use permit for RLA was arbitrary and bore no real and substantial relation to public health and welfare. Evidence showed that placing another RLA and another airstrip in rural farm fields of county is not in harmony with comprehensive plan. (POPE and KNECHT, concurring.)
