in effect

3310.09 - Zoning of annexed territory. Except as otherwise provided herein, all territory annexed to the city after March 28, 1973, shall immediately upon annexation be classified in the R-rural district and subjected to the regulations and restrictions pertaining thereto including all applicable overlay provisions as adopted pursuant to Chapter 3372. Within 30 days of the effective date of the ordinance annexing territory to the city, an owner of property included therein may apply for a change in the zoning of the owner's property to the city's zoning district comparable to the previously applicable township or county zoning for such property immediately prior to annexation. During this 30-day period such applicant is exempt from paying any required filing fee. All territory annexed to the city prior to March 28, 1973, and not zoned as agricultural, farm residential or rural by township or county resolution, has been classified in the city's zoning district most comparable to the zoning applicable to such property immediately prior to such annexation and is subject to the regulations and restrictions of such city zoning district. Any territory which lies within an Ldn contour of 65 or greater when annexed to the city shall also become part of the airport environs overlay and subject to the regulations therefor. Any territory within the geographic boundary of the territory to be annexed to the city under the terms of the existing annexation agreement between the city and the Columbus Regional Airport Authority and the First and Second Amendments thereto will be assigned immediately upon annexation the zoning classification that is most comparable to the zoning classification applicable to such property immediately prior to annexation. The zoning classification may incorporate a limited overlay if appropriate to conform as nearly as possible to the parameters of the zoning classification applicable prior to annexation. The territory to be annexed to the city under the terms of the existing annexation agreement between the city and the Columbus Regional Airport Authority and the First and Second Amendments thereto shall be as indicated on Exhibit "A".
