(a) Property Not Included. In every case where property has not been specifically included within a district, and the use of such property at the time of the enactment of this Zoning Code (Ordinance 1420, passed February 28, 1966) has ceased, the most restrictive zoning district adjoining such property shall be extended automatically to include such property, which shall thenceforth be subject to all regulations of the extended district.
(b) Annexations.
(1) A petitioner for annexation of property into the City may designate in the original annexation petition a desired zoning classification of R-1, R-2, B-1, B-2, B-3, M-1 or M2 pursuant to Chapter 1250 through Chapter 1268 of these Codified Ordinances.
(2) Upon acceptance of the annexation by the City, the requested zoning classification will apply to the property so annexed.
(3) By agreement of the City and petitioner prior to acceptance of the annexation by the City, the requested zoning classification may be amended to a different classification.
(4) Any territory annexed after the date of this section that does not designate a specific zoning classification, shall, upon the effective date of such annexation, become part of the R-1 District. Such districting shall be considered temporary, and upon written request by the owner of the annexed property, the City Planning Commission shall recommend to Council, within a period not to exceed six months from such date of annexation, a final zoning map classification for the annexed territory.
