636                                LAWS OF MARYLAND                        [CH. 387

regime provided that repair or improvement liens of a single con-
dominium unit shall subject only such unit to a lien. Repairs, con-
struction, improvements, or additions to two or more units, or to the
common elements, which are sufficient in value to subject the same to
mechanics' liens as now
OR HEREAFTER prescribed by law shall
subject the interest of the co-owners to a lien only to the extent of
their percentage interest therein. Required notices of such lien shall
be served on the resident agent as prescribed in Section 138 of this
subtitle.

(b)  Liens against the individual unit or against two or more units
for repairs to the common elements may be enforced in a like manner
as provided by the laws of the state
LAW for such enforcement as
though the units were individual parcels of real estate.

(c)   When a lien is filed against two or more units and their
respective percentage interests in the common elements, the unit
owners of the separate units may remove their unit and their per-
centage interests in the common elements appurtenant thereto from
the said lien by payment, or by the filing of a written undertaking
with surety for the payment, of the fractional or proportionate
amounts attributable to each of the units affected. The individual
payment or bond shall be computed by reference to the percentage
interest of the ownership of such unit in the master deed or declara-
tion. Upon the partial payment, filing of bond, partial discharge or
release or other satisfaction, the unit and its percentage interest in
the common elements shall thereafter be free and clear of such lien.
No such partial payment, indemnity, satisfaction, or discharge, shall
prevent the lienor from proceeding to enforce his rights against any
unit and its percentage interest in the common elements not so paid,
indemnified, satisfied or discharged.

140. ZONING.

The provisions of the zoning regulations within the jurisdiction in
which the condominium property is located shall remain in full force
and effect in so far as they apply to the overall property at the time of
its being declared into the horizontal property regime except that
these zoning provisions shall not be construed to affect the individual
units or the common elements if the overall use of the property con-
forms to these existing regulations. Nothing herein contained shall,
however, be construed to restrict any proper zoning authority from
adopting rules and regulations for the zoning of condominium projects
not inconsistent with the general law in order to implement this
program. The by-laws of any condominium project may provide
limitations on the rezoning of the real estate within the project or any
portion or condominium unit thereof within certain standards of
consent of co-owners and other restrictions set forth in the by-laws.

141. SUPPLEMENT OF EXISTING LAW.

The provisions of this subtitle shall be in addition to and supple-
mental to all other provisions of the Code of Public General Laws
of Maryland, the Code of Public Local Laws, and to any local
enactment in this State and wheresoever there appears in said
laws or local enactments of the words, "square(s)," "Lot(s)," "land,"
"ground(s)," "Parcel(s)," "Property," "block(s)," or other designa-
