Except as provided in Subsection B of this section, no infrastructure development zone may be organized wholly or partly within an existing special district or infrastructure development zone that provides the same service; provided that nothing in this subsection shall prevent an infrastructure development zone that provides different services from organizing wholly or partly within an existing special district or infrastructure development zone.
