(A) Temporary zoning. Whenever any areas are annexed to the municipality, the same shall be considered as temporarily within a district determined as follows:
(1) All lots, tracts or land which, prior to annexation, were subject to zoning regulation shall be classified as being in whichever district of this chapter most clearly conforms to the zoning that had existed, such classification to be recommended by the Planning Commission to the Council and adopted by resolution of the Council.
(2) All lots, tracts or land which, prior to annexation, were not subject to zoning regulations shall be classified as residence district as to vacant land, and, as to improved land, as being whatever district of this chapter most clearly conforms to the future land use plan for the annexed area, such classification to be recommended by the Planning Commission to the Council and adopted by resolution of the Council.
(B) Permanent zoning. Within 30 days after annexation, the Planning Commission shall formulate and transmit to Council its recommendations as to permanent zoning for all annexed area, whereupon, Council shall hold at least 1 public hearing, after first giving reasonable public notice thereof, upon the question of said permanent zoning, which shall be adopted in accordance with the provisions in § 150.66 hereof with respect to amendments of this chapter.
(C) Conditional zoning by petition. The owner or owners of any real estate contemplating the annexation of said real estate to the city shall have the right and privilege of petitioning the Council of the city for the conditional zoning of real estate prior to the annexation of said real estate to the city, with said conditional zoning to become the final and absolute zoning automatically and simultaneously with the annexation of said real estate to the city at any time, either prior to the filing of the required petitions for annexation with the Board of County Commissioners and the Council of the city, or after said petitions have been filed and are pending. The Council of the city shall proceed with the necessary steps to comply with the Revised Code of Ohio and the ordinances of the city, by referring said petition for the conditional zoning of real estate prior to the annexation of said real estate to the city, with said conditional zoning to become the final and absolute zoning automatically and simultaneously with the annexation of said real estate to the city, to the Planning Commission of the city for its recommendation and to provide for a public hearing on the question of the proposed amendment to the zoning code to provide for the conditional zoning of real estate prior to the annexation of said real estate to the city, with said conditional zoning to become the final and absolute zoning automatically and simultaneously with the annexation of said real estate to the city shall contain the provision that said ordinance is to automatically become the final and absolute zoning of said real estate automatically and simultaneously with the annexation of said real estate to the city.
