(A) Annexation procedures. Any territory hereafter annexed to the town shall, upon annexation, be automatically classified in the R-1 District until such territory is reclassified in a manner provided by law. However, in the event the owner or owners of the land to be annexed desire zoning reclassification simultaneously with annexation, in harmony with the land uses for said property on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map for the environs of the town, adopted by the Town Council, the owner may petition for said zoning classification or classifications simultaneously with the petition for annexation. A public notice of a zoning hearing is required by I.C. 36-7-4-604 and shall be advertised on or before annexation. After the zoning hearing and recommendation of the Plan Commission, the Town Council shall either adopt or reject the report of the Commission for the proposed zoning amendment at the time of adoption of final ordinance annexing the territory. Annexation of existing subdivisions or commercial developments shall be dependent upon the petitioner’s compliance with the Trafalgar Standard Specification Document. Changes to districts as a result of annexation shall be effectively illustrated on the Official Zone Map.
(B) Vacated land procedure. Whenever any street, alley, public way, railroad, right-of-way, waterway or other similar area is vacated by proper authority, the districts adjoining each side of such street, alley, public way, railroad, right-of-way, waterway or similar areas shall be extended automatically to the center of such vacated area and all area included in the vacation shall then and thenceforth be subject to appropriate regulations of the extended districts.
