Within the Maryland-Washington Metropolitan District, the Com-

and house renumbering, and the Commission has advisory zoning pow-
ers. The zoning ordinances and amendments, however, are enacted by
the respective Board of County Commissioners sitting as a Dis-
trict Council for that portion of the District within each County.
The Commission recommends land use or zoning ordinance build-
ing regulations and similar ordinance subject matters to the respective
District Councils. The Building Inspector's departments of both
