Comparable County Zoning. Except as provided in this section, an area annexed to the City shall be zoned in the same or the nearest comparable zone as the land was zoned in the County immediately prior to annexation, as follows:

Pre-Zoning. The City may pre-zone and pre-grant conditional use permits and variances in unincorporated territory adjoining the City for the purposes of determining the zone and uses that will apply to such property in the event of subsequent annexation to the City. The method of accomplishing such predeterminations shall be the same as provided for property within the City and shall become effective at the same time the annexation of such territory becomes effective.
