§ 1-8. Zoning of annexed territory.

A.

PERMANENT ZONING CONCURRENT WITH ZONING: An area or areas being annexed to the City of Mineral Wells shall ordinarily be given permanent zoning concurrently with the annexation.

B.

TEMPORARY CLASSIFICATION: In instances in which it is impractical to zone annexed territory concurrently with the annexation process, the city council shall temporarily classify annexed territory as A-agricultural district until permanent zoning is established. The procedure for establishing permanent zoning on annexed territory shall conform to the procedure established by law for the adoption of original zoning regulations. A permanent zoning for such area shall be established as soon as practicable after annexation.

C.

REGULATIONS IN AREAS TEMPORARILY CLASSIFIED:

1.

A person commits an offense if the person erects, constructs, or proceeds or continues with the erection or construction of any building or structure or causes the same to be done in any newly annexed territory temporarily classified as A-agricultural district to the city without first applying for and obtaining a building permit or certificate of occupancy from the administrative official or the city council, as may be required.

2.

No permit for the construction of a building or use of land shall be issued by the administrative official other than a permit which will allow the construction of a building permitted in the zoning district where the building site is located.
