Property owners have the opportunity to negotiate with the City to determine appropriate zoning of annexed land prior to annexation through discussions with the Planning and Zoning Commission, which will provide its recommendation to the City Council. In such case, the property annexed into the City of South Padre Island shall be zoned as stated within the City's Annexation Plan for the designated area effective the date of annexation. However, if negotiations of zoning do not take place prior to annexation, property annexed into the City of South Padre Island shall be zoned "A" Residential, Single Family District effective concurrently with the date of official annexation. This temporary zoning classification shall remain in effect until a change therein is approved by the City Council. Within 180 days after the date of official annexation, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall review and provide specific zoning recommendations to the City Council as to the appropriate zoning for such annexed area.
