[UNTIL, BUT NOT AFTER JULY 1, 1972, THE territorial
planning and zoning jurisdiction of the planning and zoning com-
mission of any incorporated town of Talbot County shall include
all land located within the corporate boundaries of said town,
and territorial planning and zoning jurisdiction of the planning and
zoning commission of Talbot County shall include all land lying
outside of the corporate boundaries of any incorporated town of
Talbot County. The planning and zoning commission of any incor-
porated town of Talbot County shall have territorial planning and
zoning jurisdiction over all land lying within one mile of its cor-
porate boundaries at such time as the incorporated town shall have
approved and adopted a master plan and zoning ordinances for
such area, at which such time the authority of the planning and
zoning commission of Talbot County over such land shall be divested.
In the event that the corporate limits of any incorporated town of
Talbot County shall be extended by legislative act at any time
after June 1, 1953, territorial jurisdiction of the planning and zoning
commission of such incorporated town over land lying beyond its
extended boundaries shall not be effective to divest the planning
and zoning commission of Talbot County of its authority over any
land previously zoned by it for a period of one year from the effective
date of the extension of such corporate boundaries.] IF THE COR-
PORATE LIMITS OF ANY INCORPORATED TOWN OF TAL-
BOT COUNTY SHALL BE EXTENDED AT ANY TIME AFTER
JANUARY 1, 1971, PLANNING AND ZONING JURISDICTION
OF SUCH TOWN SHALL APPLY ONLY WITHIN THE COR-
PORATE BOUNDARIES DEFINED BY SUCH EXTENSION
AND NOT TO ALL LAND LYING WITHIN ONE MILE OF
SUCH EXTENDED BOUNDARIES.

[Any incorporated town of Talbot County may, by appropriate
ordinance duly adopted, delegate the authority to plan and zone land
lying within its corporate boundaries, to the county commissioners
of Talbot County.]

cepted. Except as hereinafter provided, nothing in this article and
no regulation, rule or ordinance of the local legislative body or of
any agency thereof shall be construed to permit the construction of
a "group house" in Anne Arundel County, and no permit shall be
issued therefor, in said county. As used in this subsection, the term
"group house" means three or more single-family dwellings designed
and erected as a single detached building, but this term shall not

dwellings for three or more families as independent housekeeping
units with all such housekeeping units being supplied water, heat,
light and other public conveniences and utilities in common with
each other; nor shall this term include buildings such as hotels or
motels containing individual sleeping or living units primarily for
the accommodating of transient guests.]
