(a) Territory annexed to the Municipality after the effective date of the 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 Revised Code 303.01 to 303.25, or enacted by a Board of Township Trustees under Ohio Revised Code 519.02 to 519.25, as the case may be.
(b) As soon as practicable after the annexation of territory to the Municipality, proceedings shall be instituted by the Planning and Zoning Commission to include the annexed territory in one or more of the zoning districts defined in the Zoning Ordinance, as amended. All land annexed to the City which, prior to annexation, is not subject to County or Township zoning shall remain unzoned until the Official Zoning Map is amended according to the provisions of Chapter 1156.
