1113. (a) Each District Council may from time to time amend
its regulations or any regulation, including the maps or any map;
but no such amendment shall be passed unless the same be first sub-
mitted to the Commission for approval, disapproval or suggestions,
and the Commission shall have been allowed a reasonable time, not
less than six months for consideration and report. With the Com-
mission's resolution transmitting its recommendations with respect
to applications for zoning amendments under this section there shall
be transmitted a copy of the report of the Commission's technical
staff thereon. Similarly, in the original zoning regulations enacted
by the District Councils, there shall be no change in or departure
from the plan submitted by the Commission until and unless such
change or departure shall first be submitted to the Commission for
its approval, disapproval or suggestions, and the Commission shall
have been allowed a reasonable time, not less than six months for
consideration and report. Before any regulation or regulations
authorized by this sub-title may be passed, the District Council shall
hold a public hearing thereon and shall give notice of the time and
place thereof by one insertion in two newspapers of general circula-
tion respectively in the county in which the property is located, said
insertions shall appear in said newspaper at least thirty days prior
to the date of hearing but not more than 38 days before the date of
the hearing, and during said thirty days the text or copy of the text
of the regulations, together with the map or maps forming part
of or referred to in the regulations shall be on file for public examina-
tion in the office of the clerks of the County Commissioners of
said county. The cost of advertising in connection with publication
of proposed amendments in the zoning regulations or maps shall be
paid by the persons or corporations making application for such
changes. There shall be a stenographic record made by a duly
authorized and competent stenographic STENOGRAPHER or re-
porter of all hearings on petitions for zoning map amendments as pro-
vided herein. The stenographic record made shall not be destroyed
until the time for appeal or rehearing on any petition for zoning map
amendments has expired.

The person, corporation or party making application for a zoning
map amendment shall, at the time of paying the advertising costs,
pay an additional filing fee of Five Dollars ($5.00). Any person,
corporation or party noting an appeal from the decision of the Dis-
trict Council or who for any reason shall request a transcript to be
transcribed as herein provided, shall pay to the County Commissioners
of Prince George's County the cost or estimated cost of transcribing
the stenographic record.

1113 (d) Any party aggrieved by a final decision of the District
Council whether such decision is affirmative or negative in form, is
entitled to judicial review thereof.

Proceedings for review shall be instituted by filing a petition in
the Circuit Court of Prince George's County within thirty days after
service of the final decision of the District Council. Copies of the
petition shall be served upon the District Council and all other parties
of record, in the manner provided by the rules of court.

The filing of the petition shall not stay enforcement of the District
Council decision; but the District Council may do so, or the reviewing
court may order a stay upon such terms as it deems proper.
