ARTICLE 5

ZONING OF ANNEXED TERRITORY

§ 5.01 Permanent Zoning Concurrent with Annexation.

An area or areas being annexed to the City of Bonham shall ordinarily be given permanent zoning concurrently with the annexation.
(Ordinance 1059 adopted 11/11/2002)

§ 5.02 Temporary Classification.

In instances in which the zoning of an annexed territory concurrently with the annexation is impractical, the annexed territory shall be temporarily classified as AG - Agricultural District until permanent zoning is established by the City Commission. The procedure for establishing permanent zoning on annexed territory shall conform to the procedure established by law for the adoption of original zoning regulations. The City Commission shall determine a permanent zoning for such area as soon as practicable after annexation.
(Ordinance 1059 adopted 11/11/2002)

§ 5.03 Regulations in Areas Temporarily Classified.

In an area temporarily classified as AG - Agricultural District no person shall erect, construct, or proceed or continue with the erection or construction of any building or structure or cause the same to be done in any newly annexed territory without first applying for and obtaining a building permit or Certificate of Occupancy from the Building Official or the City Commission, as may be required.
No permit for the construction of a building or use of land shall be issued by the Building Official other than a permit which will allow the construction of a building permitted in the Agricultural District, unless and until such territory has been classified in a zoning district other than the Agricultural District by the City Commission in the manner prescribed by the law.
(Ordinance 1059 adopted 11/11/2002)
