authority of this sub-title shall govern. Wherever the provisions of any
other statute or local ordinance or regulation require a greater width or
size of yards, courts, or other open spaces, or require a lower height of
building or a less number of stores, or require a greater percentage of a lot
to be left unoccupied, or impose other higher standards than are required
by the regulations made under authority of this sub-title, the provisions of
such statute or local ordinance or regulation shall govern; provided, how-
ever, that within the limits of the Maryland-Washington Metropolitan
District in Montgomery and Prince George's Counties—in which District
there is now in effect city and regional planning and zoning, which are
being administered by existing agencies under existing law—this sub-title
shall be construed wherever possible as supplemental to Chapter 448 of the
Laws of Maryland of 1927, as amended; and within the said District the
several additional and supplemental powers or any of them vested by this
sub-title in the "municipality," and/or the "council," shall be construed to
be vested exclusively in and may be exercised within their discretion only
by the respective Boards of County Commissioners acting as the District
Council, as provided in the said Chapter 448, as amended; and within the
said District in like manner the several additional and supplemental powers
or any of them vested by this sub-title in the "Commission" and in the
"Board of Appeals," respectively, shall be construed to be vested exclusively
in and may be exercised only, within their discretion, by the Maryland-
National Capital Park and Planning Commission and/or the respective
Board of Zoning Appeals of the County affected; and provided further,
that insofar as the provisions of this sub-title may be inconsistent with or
contrary to the provisions of Chapter 448 of the Laws of Maryland of
1927, as amended, such provisions shall have no application within the
Maryland-Washington Metropolitan District, but nothing contained herein
shall be deemed or construed to affect the validity of the said Chapter 448,
as amended; and provided further, that nothing in this sub-title shall apply
to Baltimore City, Kent County, Queen Anne's County, Talbot County,
Wicomico County, Worcester County, Caroline County, Prince George's
County, Howard County, St. Mary's County, Anne Arundel County and
Harford County.

36. (Saving Clause.) If any clause, sentence, part or parts of this sub-
title, or of any section thereof shall be held unconstitutional, such uncon-
stitutionality shall not affect the validity of the remaining parts of this
sub-title or of any section thereof. The legislature hereby declares that it
would have passed the remaining parts of this sub-title or any section
thereof, if it had known such clause, sentence, part or parts or any section
thereof should be declared unconstitutional.

ordinances passed pursuant thereto shall not be affected hereby, and that
this sub-title shall be deemed to be in addition to said Sections 1-9 and
not in substitution therefor.
