(a) Territory annexed to the Village after the effective date of this Zoning Ordinance shall continue to be governed by the zoning regulations which governed the territory annexed immediately prior to the annexation, as enacted by a Board of County Commissioners under Ohio R.C. 303.01 to 303.25, or enacted by a Board of Township Trustees under Ohio R.C. 519.02 to 519.25, as the case may be, until Council shall either officially adopt the existing zoning regulations of such county or township or new regulations for such territory. (Ord. 1973-9. Passed 12-17-73.)
(b) All territory annexed shall, at the time of acceptance by Council, set forth therein a provision providing for the zone designation by which such territory shall be designated.
(c) Any such territory not otherwise designated at the time of annexation, shall be placed in the RS-1 Residential District until otherwise changed by ordinance.
(d) When the initial request for annexation by the petitioner, or his agent, is received at the office of the Clerk-Treasurer, it shall be the duty of the Clerk-Treasurer to advise the petitioner, or his agent, that they may choose the zone designation they wish the Planning Commission to consider. If the petitioner, or his agent, requests a zone designation, other than RS-1 Residential District, it shall be in the form of a letter to Council.
(e) At such times as any annexation proceeding is certified to the Clerk-Treasurer after having been approved by the County Commissioners, notice of the same shall be given to the Planning Commission and such Commission shall act upon the same, in the same manner as any zone change request. Notice to the Planning Commission shall be made by the Clerk- Treasurer within ten days of the receipt of the resolution of the County Commissioners and the Planning Commission shall proceed as though a zone request had been filed under Chapter 1133. (Ord. 1979-6. Passed 5-14-79.)
