Bill No. 41-71

AN ORDINANCE to add new Section 13-327 (k) (2) to the Anne
Arundel County Code (1967 Edition and Supplements), as added
by Bill No. 17-71, Title 13, "Planning and Zoning", Subtitle 3,
"Zoning Regulations", Article IX "Signs", Heading, "General Pro-
visions", to follow immediately after Section 13-327 (j) thereof,
and to repeal and re-enact, with amendments, Section 13-329 (1)
(f) of said Code, Title, Subtitle and Article (as added by said
Bill), Heading, "Signs in Commercial Districts", respectively setting
forth the method for measuring three (3) dimensional signs, and
the method for measuring doublefaced signs in Commercial Dis-
tricts; providing for the adoption of zoning maps; authorizing the
renumbering of such sections of this Ordinance as may be neces-
sary or desirable when additional sections of this Subtitle are
adopted; providing that this Ordinance shall become effective only
when the entire Subtitle is adopted and becomes effective and the
existing zoning laws are repealed; and matters generally related
thereto.

Whereas, the Charter of Anne Arundel County, Maryland, pro-
vides that the life of a Bill is ninety-five (95) days; and

Whereas, it is impractical and unrealistic to attempt to have in-
telligent and meaningful public hearings on a complete Zoning Ordi-
nance within said ninety-five (95) day period, it is the intent of the
County Council of Anne Arundel County, Maryland, to adopt Sub-
title 3, "Zoning Regulations", in sections no section becoming effec-
tive until the complete Subtitle is adopted and becomes effective.

Section 1. Be it enacted by the County Council of Anne Arundel
County, Maryland, That new Section 13-327 (k) (2) be, and it is
hereby added to the Anne Arundel County Code (1967 Edition and
Supplements), as added by Bill No. 17-71, Title 13, "Planning and
Zoning", Subtitle 3, "Zoning Regulations", Article IX, "Signs",
Heading, "General Provisions," to follow immediately after Section
13-327 (j) thereof, and to read as follows:
