Any area added or annexed to the city shall automatically be zoned in accordance with the city comprehensive plan in effect at the time of such annexation or adopted concurrently with the annexation. Petitions for annexation into the city shall be made on forms provided by the city and be submitted with the applicable fees as set forth by resolution of the city council.

If land is annexed into the city without having previously been given a land use and zoning designation by the city, then the newly annexed land shall receive the land use and zoning designation that most closely equates to the Kittitas County designations for the land just prior to annexation by the city. These designations shall remain applicable to the annexed land pending further review and amendment in due course by the city.
