The Planning and Zoning Commis-
sion must provide City Council a

sistency of the proposed annexa-
tion with the Comprehensive Plan.

for approval of the proposed an-
nexation prior to receiving the

ers consent to the annexation
does not require a recommenda-
tion of the Planning and Zoning
Commission."
