WHEREAS, Subsequent to the passage of Council Bill
No. 3 — 1969 Session, the Zoning Board has, without
exception, adopted all amendments to the Zoning
Regulations, in force and effect at the date of adoption
of Council Bill No. 3, and further that the County

which by Council Bill No. 3 — 1969 Session was delegated
to the Zoning Board of Howard County; and
WHEREAS, The County Council did by Council Bill No.
24—1970 Legislative Session legalize and adopt the 1970
edition of the Howard County Code which was published in
loose—leaf form, and the County Council did by Council
Bill No. 63 — 1972 Legislative Session legalize and adopt
the 1972 edition of the Howard County Code as printed in

WHEREAS, The County Council of Howard County has
introduced this Bill in order to correct the error made
by the editors of the 1970 and 1972 Codes by

of Council Bill No. 3 — 1969 Session or had not been
included as a part of any bill passed by the County

determined that the most appropriate method to correct
