Notwithstanding the above requirement, the planning commission shall have authority to prezone properties lying outside of the city limits to determine, in advance of the annexation, the zone or zones into which the property should be zoned upon annexation. Upon the recommendation of the planning commission, and subject to approval of the city council, such areas may come into the city in other zoning classifications than outlined in the previous paragraph.
All annexations to the city shall comply with all laws and requirements of the city and to all laws and requirements of Washington County and the state of Utah, relative to the annexation of land. (Ord. 2023-05 § 1: Ord. 2010-06: Ord. 2004-19 § 1: Ord. 97-06 § 1-19)
