Prior to any action by the city council on an application for annexation, the zoning commission shall hold a public hearing and make a recommendation to the city council concerning the zoning of the property which is the subject of the application for annexation. In connection with such proceedings, the city shall provide notice to the public and to adjacent property owners in the same manner as for a zoning change, except that the city itself shall be regarded as the applicant and no fee shall be due from the owner of the subject property. The city council shall adopt an ordinance providing for the permanent zoning of the subject property effective simultaneously with the property's annexation.
