A.
In
any petition for the annexation of property to the City, the petitioner
may request the zoning desired by him or her for the property described
in the application in the event the property is annexed to the City.
Prior to the adoption by the Council of the resolution of intention
to annex uninhabited territory, or in the case of an inhabited proceeding
at the time of referral to the Planning Commission pursuant to Section
35108 of the Government Code, a copy of the annexation petition or
request shall be referred to the City Planning Commission for investigation
and report to the City Council as to the desirability of the annexation
and the zoning classification to be placed thereon whether or not
a zone classification has been requested. The Planning Commission
shall consider the annexation of such property and the zoning to be
placed thereon in the event of annexation to the City and upon completion
of such consideration, the Planning Commission shall make its report
and recommendations to the Council by resolution.
B.
After
receiving such report and recommendation, the City Council shall consider
the zoning classification to be applied upon annexation to property
to be annexed. The City Council may include any such zone consideration
within any notice of hearing concerning the annexation of the property
involved, and the hearing on the matter of zoning may be held in conjunction
with any public hearing required by law to be held by the City Council
in connection with the annexation proceedings.
C.
Concurrent
with or prior to final annexation of the territory, the City Council
shall, by ordinance, classify the property for zoning purposes in
accordance with its determination, and upon the effective date of
such classification ordinance, or the annexation ordinance, whichever
is the later, the zone classification shall be effective and a part
of the General Plan of the City.
D.
The
Council may as an alternative to any of the foregoing proceedings
for the zoning of annexed territory:
1.
Allow
the same to be finally annexed without zoning the land therein, and
may initiate zoning thereof under other provisions of this title after
annexation; or
2.
The
Council may provide by ordinance effective prior to completion of
annexation proceedings upon recommendation of the Planning Commission
that the territory to be annexed shall as a condition of annexation
remain classified the same as it was classified or zoned as unincorporated
territory where as such territory it was classified as to land use
by the County of Santa Barbara pursuant to a general plan of zoning.
