§ 17. Development of areas to be annexed to city

Any landowner or developer who owns land outside the limits of the city who makes application for annexation by the city may, in conjunction with his annexation request, submit a development plan to the planning and zoning commission as if the area to be developed had already been annexed into the city. Prior to or concurrently with the final approval of the annexation process the city shall, pursuant to all of the provisions of Appendix B, approve the subdivision plat submitted by the landowner or developer and, until such plat is approved to the satisfaction of the landowner or developer, the landowner or developer may withdraw the application for annexation by the city. The landowner or developer shall be subject to the same fees and to the same requirements in the approval of the development plat as if the area to be developed was already within the jurisdiction of the city. If no development plat is submitted along with the initial request for annexation, it shall be presumed that the proposed voluntary annexation request is without condition, and any subsequent annexation shall subject the annexed area to all of the requirements of the subdivision ordinance, Appendix B of the code of ordinances.
