Any lands annexed to the city following the enacting of the ordinances codified in this title shall be deemed to be included in the zoning map as being in the R-1 residential district. Within 60 days following annexation, the planning commission shall hold a public hearing to determine the best application of this title to the annexed territory. Following the hearing, the commission shall make its recommendation to the city council for the zoning of the area; provided, however, any land which has been or is included in a comprehensive land use plan provided for in the following provision and adopted pursuant to RCW 35.13.177 and 35.13.178 shall be annexed with the zoning district classification as provided for in such comprehensive land use plan. (Ord. 1197 § 48, 2010; Ord. 272, 1978; Ord. 192 § 1, 1974; Ord. 109A § 24, 1968).

Petitioners for annexation may include in the notice of intent to petition for annexation a request for determination of the zoning district classification which will be applied to the property described in said notice of intent to petition for annexation, if the petition for annexation is passed. (Ord. 1197 § 49, 2010; Ord. 192 § 2, 1974; Ord. 109A § 24, 1968).

If such a request is made, the council shall, or if such a request is not made, the council may communicate said request to the clerk of the planning commission who will place notice of intent on the planning commission’s agenda. The planning commission shall then formulate a comprehensive use plan for the area described in the notice of intent, to become effective upon the annexation of said area, pursuant to RCW 35.13.177. (Ord. 192 § 3, 1974; Ord. 109A § 24, 1968).

The city council shall hold two hearings upon the proposed comprehensive plan, as provided in RCW 35.13.178, and after giving of notice as therein provided. (Ord. 192 § 4, 1974; Ord. 109A § 24, 1968).

If the petitioners for annexation are not satisfied with the council’s proposed classification of the property to be annexed, then said petitioners may withdraw their notice of intent to petition for annexation by so requesting in writing to the city clerk’s office. (Ord. 192 § 5, 1974; Ord. 109A § 24, 1968).

Whenever an ordinance is enacted annexing property to the city pursuant to a petition for annexation which did not request the determination of a zone prior to the enactment of the ordinance annexing the property to the city and the council chooses not to request a prior determination of zone classification any such property so annexed shall be deemed to be included in the zoning map as being in the R-1 residential district. Within 60 days following annexation, the planning commission shall hold a public hearing to determine the best application of this title to the annexed territory. Following the hearing, the commission shall make its recommendation to the city council for the zoning of the area. (Ord. 192 § 6, 1974; Ord. 109A § 24, 1968).
