35. (Conflict With Other Laws. ) Wherever the reg-
ulations made under authority of this sub-title require a
greater width or size of yards, courts, or other open
. spaces, or require a lower height of buildings or less num-
ber of stories, or require a greater percentage of lot to
be left unoccupied or impose other higher standards than
are required in any other statute or local ordinance or
regulations, the provisions of the regulations made under
authority of this sub-title shall govern. Wherever the
provisions of any other statute or local ordinance or reg-
ulation require a greater width or size of yards, courts,
or other open spaces, or require a lower height of build-
ing or a less number of stores, or require a greater per-
centage 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, however, that within the limits of the Mary-
land-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 Dis-
trict 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 ex-
clusively 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 with the said District in
like manner the several additional and supplemental pow-
ers or any of them vested by this sub-title in the "Com-
mission" 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 af-
fected; and provided further, that insofar as the provi-
sions of this sub-title may be inconsistent with or con-
trary 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 Metro-
politan 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,
