The area that becomes part of the primary corporate limits as provided in G.S. 160A‑58.6 shall be rezoned in accordance with the terms and conditions of the municipality's unified development ordinance adopted pursuant to Chapter 160D of the General Statutes."
SECTION 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law and applies to annexations initiated on or after that date.
