Any territory in excess of five (5) acres in area, hereafter annexed to the municipality shall automatically, upon such annexation be classified as within the A five (5) acre agricultural district, and if less than five (5) acres shall be classified as within the R-1 two and one-half (2.5) acre single-family rural residential district and be subject to all conditions and regulations applicable to territory in such district until such territory is later zoned in a manner provided by law; provided that in the event the owner or owners of property to be annexed desire another zoning district classification, in harmony with density and land use designations shown for said property on the comprehensive plan, the owner may petition for said zoning classification simultaneously with the petition for annexation. The public notice of zoning hearing, as required by sections 154.35 through 154.51 of this chapter may be advertised on or before the annexation. After the zoning hearing and recommendation of the zoning board, the village board may either adopt or deny the report of the zoning board for the proposed zoning amendment, at the time of adoption of the final ordinance annexing the territory.
