(30) days' notice of the time and place of which shall be given by
at least one publication in a newspaper or newspapers of general
circulation in the Regional District. [In Prince George's County,

provision not contained in the preliminary general plan, it shall
hold a second public hearing upon giving the same notice required
for the first hearing, which notice shall also contain a brief descrip-
tion of all variations from the preliminary general plan which it
proposes to incorporate into the adopted general plan. In Prince

amendment, or extension or addition thereto shall be by resolution
of the commission carried by the affirmative votes of not less than
six members of the commission of whom not less than three members
shall be from Montgomery County and not less than three members
from Prince George's County. No plan or part thereof shall be
adopted by the commission unless and until any amendment or
extension or addition to the plan presented at the public hearing
has been separately enumerated and specifically set forth with the
reasons therefor stated in the commission's resolution of adoption.
The resolution on the adoption of the plan shall refer expressly to
the maps and descriptive and other matter intended by the commis-
sion to form the whole or part of the plan, and the action taken
shall be recorded on the map, plan, or descriptive matter by the

the commission. An attested copy of the plan or any part thereof
or any amendment or extension or addition thereto shall be certified
