I already see this happening in our little burg. A farmer I know said his property was zoned non-agricultural, its for future expansion so he cant leave it in the family as farmland.

I worry about this. The city has moved out to us, and now is on two sides. Once it is on 3 sides, the city can annex us AGAINST our will and re-zone the land for city purposes. Our land is a swamp, so I don't see this happening soon. But it can happen, I know it can.

Zoning laws are *supposed* to be grandfathered.

The city next to where I grew up annexed everything they wanted and destroyed it (they're in the list of America's top 10 dying cities). They forbade the mall to build in city limits years ago -then it became a success. They took it, bragging how they could get all that income tax from minimum wage workers at the mall (the neighboring township didn't tax income). The city annexed the mall, and now it's all but closed (about 90% of the stores have left - you can't buy food anywhere in the mall except from a vending machine).

I hate annexation!

Gee, Kysa, they could zone it a federal wetland and then you'll get to keep it but not use it.
