Bill No. 18-70

AN ORDINANCE to add new Sections 13-302 through 13-310.8, in-
clusive, to the Anne Arundel County Code (1967 Edition and Supple-
ments), Title 13, "Planning and Zoning", Subtitle 3, "Zoning", to
follow immediately after Section 13-301.1 thereof (as enacted by Bill
No. 2-70), under the new Article III, "Residential Districts", setting
forth the various types of residential zoning districts, the manner in
which the respective residential zones may be used, the standards
and limitations thereof; providing for the adoption of zoning maps;
authorizing the County Solicitor to renumber such sections of this
Ordinance as may be necessary or desirable when additional sections
of this Subtitle are adopted; providing that this Ordinance shall
become effective only upon the adoption of the entire Subtitle and
the repealer of the existing Zoning laws; 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
