A. Upon completion of the required preannexation studies and payment of requisite fees, the City Clerk shall schedule any authorized annexation proposal for a public hearing before the City Council as soon as such request may be accommodated by the Council schedule. No such hearing shall be scheduled until the required preannexation studies have been received unless the City Council waives such requirement. The legal purpose of such public hearing shall be to receive public comment and determine proper zoning or land use regulations for the lands in question. The public hearing concerning zoning in anticipation of annexation shall be conducted as a quasi-judicial public hearing with published notice as required by Idaho Code 50-222 as it now exists or as subsequently amended.
B. Upon completion of the public hearing concerning zoning, and after considering such other relevant information as it chooses to rely upon, the City Council may decide to enact an ordinance annexing the subject lands, or any parts thereof, and establish the zoning designation therefor. All fees and expenses required to be paid must have been received and an annexation agreement must have been executed and performed to the extent required by the City Council prior to passage of the annexation ordinance.
