§ 152.093 ZONING OF ANNEXED AREAS.

   Whenever any area is annexed into the Village of Fowler, one of the following rules shall apply:

   (A)   Land zoned previous to annexation shall be a district of the class to which it most nearly conforms under this chapter. The Planning Commission shall recommend the classification to the Village Council, who shall determine by resolution the zoning classification into which the property will be placed.

   (B)   Land not zoned prior to annexation shall be automatically classified as a PUD in a district of the class to which it most nearly conforms under the chapter. This shall be determined by the Planning Commission and shall remain in effect until a zoning map for the area has been adopted by the Village Council. The Planning Commission shall recommend appropriate zoning districts for such area within three months after Village Council has referred the matter to the Commission.

§ 152.094 ZONING OF VACATED AREAS.

   Whenever all or part of a street, alley or other public way is vacated, it shall automatically become a part of the district to which it attaches.
