   (B)   Where a Property is Located Outside of the Jurisdiction of the Village: Where the owner or developer of a property located outside of the jurisdiction of this Ordinance, wishes the Village to annex the property into the Village's corporate boundaries, then a voluntary annexation petition shall be submitted at the same time as an application for rezoning and/or a development permit.
