forth the general purposes and interpretation of the new zoning
law; providing for the adoption of a zoning map or maps; authorizing
the County Solicitor to renumber such sections of this Ordinance as
may be necessary or desirable when additional sections of this Sub-
title are adopted; providing that this Ordinance shall become effective
only upon the adoption of the entire Subtitle and the repealer of the
existing Zoning law; and matters generally related thereto.

Whereas, The Charter of Anne Arundel County, Maryland, provides
that the life of a bill is sixty-five (65) days; and

Whereas, It is impractical and unrealistic to attempt to have intelligent
and meaningful public hearings on a complete zoning ordinance within said
sixty-five (65) day period, it is the intent of the County Council for Anne
Arundel County, Maryland to adopt Subtitle 3, "Zoning", in sections, no
section becoming effective until the complete subtitle is adopted.

Section 1. BE IT ENACTED BY THE COUNTY COUNCIL OF ANNE
ARUNDEL COUNTY, MARYLAND, that new Section 13-300 and 13-300.1,

County Code (1967 Edition and Supplements), Title 13, "Planning and Zon-
ing", Subtitle 3, "Zoning", to be under the new Article I, "General Pro-
visions and Definitions," and Article II, "Classes of Districts," respectively,
to follow immediately after Section 13-200 thereof and to read as follows:
