(a) Unless otherwise authorized and determined by an annexation agreement, any area that is annexed into the city shall be zoned AG on the effective date of the annexation. Within three (3) months of the annexation effective date, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall present a zoning plan for the annexed area to City Council. City Council shall hold a public hearing on the zoning plan as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Notice of this hearing shall comply with the requirements of Section 1113.04(d). Within thirty (30) days of the hearing, Council shall either approve, approve with modifications, or disapprove the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommended zoning plan. If Council's action differs from the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation, it must be passed by three-fourths (¾) vote of the membership of Council. If no zoning plan is approved, the AG zoning classification shall remain in effect.
(b) Nothing in this Section shall prevent an owner of property within the annexed area from applying for a zoning amendment in accordance with Section 1113.04, after the effective date of the annexation.
