NINETY DAYS OF SUBMISSION TO IT BY THE COMMISSION

CIL SHALL DETERMINE TO MAKE REVISIONS, MODIFICA-
TIONS OR AMENDMENTS THEN IT SHALL HOLD A PUBLIC

THEREOF. SUCH DETERMINATION SHALL SUSPEND THE

(4) ADOPTION AND AMENDMENT BY COMMISSION. AT
ITS FIRST REGULAR MEETING NEXT FOLLOWING AP-
PROVAL OF THE PLAN BY THE COUNCIL, THE PLAN SHALL
BE SUBMITTED TO THE COMMISSION FOR ADOPTION IN
ITS APPROVED FORM. NO PLAN OR AMENDMENT TO AN
APPROVED PLAN MAY HEREAFTER BE ADOPTED BY THE

(g) Publication and Effect of Approved Plans

(1) Publication of Approved Plans. Subsequent to final adoption
and/or approval of plans in accordance with the provisions of this
section, the Commission shall cause the same to be printed and made
available for public distribution.

(2) Effect of Approved Zoning Plans. Zoning plans adopted by
the Commission and approved by the District Council shall be con-

for the granting of any local zoning map amendment until the Dis-

amendment is timely, desirable, and compatible with the develop-

the zoning applicable to a parcel of real estate at the time an appli-

they shall constitute a legal justification for the denial of such

rezoning if the District Council shall so determine.

of each such plan. Such statement shall be approved or disapproved
in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section (f).
