17.01.050: ANNEXED TERRITORY:
When any territory shall be brought into the zoning jurisdiction of the city of Okmulgee, Oklahoma, by annexation or otherwise, unplatted land shall be zoned at the time of annexation as agricultural. When any territory shall be brought into the zoning jurisdiction of the city of Okmulgee, Oklahoma, by annexation or otherwise, platted land shall be zoned at the time of annexation as the least dense use category that allows any existing use or existing and vacant lots to be conforming; in the event that the use and the lot size cannot both be accommodated, the existing primary use shall be controlling. Provided further, that if county zoning has been granted within five (5) years prior to annexation, such territory may be allowed to retain the most nearly comparable municipal zoning status as it may have had under the county, even if the land is unused or unplatted. This provision shall not operate to preclude subsequent zoning of such property by amendment in the manner set forth hereafter. (Ord. 1953, 2010)
