SPIRO T. AGNEW, Governor                      1439

time, amend, extend, or add to, a [G] general [P] plan for the
[P] physical [D] development of the District, which shall be known
as the General Plan for the Maryland-Washington Regional District.
The general plan, including maps, plats, charts and descriptive mat-
ter shall show the Commission's recommendations for the develop-
ment of the District, which may include, among other things, such
matters as (1) the location, arrangement, character and extent of
roads, waterways, waterfronts, beaches, docks and wharves, parks,
forests, squares, aviation fields, airways, subways, wildlife refuges,
open development areas and other ways, grounds and open spaces;
(2) the general location of public, including Federal, buildings and
other public properties; (3) the general location and extent of
public utilities and terminals, whether publicly or privately owned
or operated, for light, transportation, communication, power, sewer,
water,
and other purposes; (4) the preservation and development
of forests and natural scenery; (5) the general location and extent
of housing and community projects and developments; and (6) a
zoning plan for the regulation of the height, area, bulk, location,
and uses of buildings and the uses of land, and other factors of
urban, suburban, rural, and regional planning [, further, the Com-
mission may include in said plan, or part thereof, and may so desig-
nate, any land or area of Prince George's County which shall have
been designated as an "Urban Renewal Area" by the Commission
and by the County Commissioners of Prince George's County or by
the governing body of any incorporated municipality of Prince
George's County and under the authority granted to such Commis-
sioners or body by the General Assembly; in an area so designated,
and included in said plan or part thereof, the Commission may, in
accordance with procedures hereinafter provided for, indicate that
said land or area is reserved for Urban Renewal purposes, and fur-
ther, the Commission may indicate a special zoning classification for
said land or area, if applicable. The Commission shall then recom-
mend to the District Council an appropriate classification. However,
if the governing body so designating such land or area as an Urban
Area fails to make substantial progress in development of plans for
such redevelopment within one (1) calendar year, or fails to com-
plete and adopt a plan of redevelopment for said area within two (2)
calendar years of the date of such designation, said land or area
shall no longer be considered to be reserved for Urban Renewal
purposes].

[(b) Adoption; procedure. As the work of making the general
plan progresses, the Commission, from time to time, may adopt a
part or parts thereof, any such part to cover one or more sections
of the Regional District or one or more of the aforesaid or other
functional subjects-matter to be included in the plan.]

(b) Adoption of Planning Area Map and Local Master Plans.
The Commission shall prepare and the respective District Councils
may adopt and, from time to time amend, a map showing a sub-
division of the entire area of the district into local planning areas.
Prior to such adoption or amendment, each District Council shall
consult with the Commission with respect to the boundaries of the
local planning areas located wholly or partially within its county,
and in the event of disagreement as to boundaries, the decision of
the county governing body shall prevail within the area of its
juris-
diction. The Commission shall, as soon as its resources permit, pre-
pare and adopt, and may from time to time amend or revise, a local
