MARVIN MANDEL, Governor                       1569

The District Council shall hold a public hearing thereon and shall
approve, disapprove, or return the plan to the Commission for
further consideration within six months; otherwise the same shall
be considered as an approved plan for the future development of the
district as set forth in this section.]

[(f) Approval by the District Council Montgomery County.]

[(1) Concept development. When the Commission and its
Staff shall have completed the preliminary studies and determined
the proposed concepts, guidelines, and goals to be followed in the
preparation of any plan, the results of the studies and the proposed
concepts, guidelines and goals shall be transmitted to the District
Council for approval. Within sixty days of the receipt thereof,
the Council shall review the proposed concepts, guidelines, and goals,
and approve and return the same to the Commission with such
modifications, revisions, and amendments as it shall determine. In
the event the Council shall fail to advise the Commission of its
approval within the aforesaid sixty days, then it shall be deemed to
have approved the proposal as submitted.]

[(2) Referral and Recommendation. At least sixty days prior
to the Commission's public hearing on any proposed plan, the
Commission shall refer such plan to the District Council for review
and consideration. If it should appear to the District Council that
the plan or any part thereof fails to satisfy or comply with the
approved concepts, guidelines, and goals, or if it shall have any other
recommendations, then it shall so notify the Commission, and the
District Council's comments or recommendations shall be made a
part of the record of the proceeding before the Commission.]

[(3) Final Approval Procedure. Following the public hearing,
the Commission shall prepare and submit to the Council the plan
for final approval with such revisions, modifications and amend-
ments as the Commission shall recommend. The District Council
shall approve the plan with such revisions, modifications and amend-
ments as are determined by at least five members of the Council,
provided, however, that failure of the Council to approve or dis-
approve the plan within ninety days of submission to it by the Com-
mission shall constitute final approval for the purposes of this Sec-
tion. In the event that the Council shall determine to make re-
visions, modifications or amendments then it shall hold a public
hearing thereon after giving thirty days notice thereof. Such deter-
mination shall suspend the ninety day period as provided herein
and said period shall terminate thirty days after the aforesaid
public hearing.]

[(4) Adoption and Amendment by Commission. At its first
regular meeting next following approval 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 adapted by the Commission unless and until approved
by the Council.]

[(g) Publication and Effect of Approved Plans.]
