Within sixty (60) days following the date of annexation, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall recommend a zoning classification for all new territories to the Board of Aldermen. The Board, within one hundred twenty (120) days following the date of annexation, shall establish zoning for all newly annexed territories. All property owners within the territories in question will be contacted by the City and be given a reasonable opportunity to request a specific zoning classification. In any case, the Board of Aldermen shall be the final party regarding the determination of all zoning classifications and may consider, but not be limited to, the following criteria.
The City's Comprehensive Plan.

The existing land use of adjacent territories in the respective zoning classifications.
Prior to the date on which the Board of Aldermen votes to annex territory requested to be voluntary annexed by its owner, the Planning and Zoning Commission may consider a zoning reclassification of the specified territory and may hold a public hearing thereon in order to make a zoning reclassification recommendation to the Board of Aldermen. Such public hearing shall be held according to the laws and ordinances governing rezoning of property. If the Board of Aldermen receives the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation at least thirty (30) days prior to when the Board is scheduled to vote on the annexation, the Board of Aldermen may cause at least fifteen (15) days' notice of a public hearing on the zoning reclassification, to be held immediately after the Board of Aldermen votes to approve the annexation.
