Section 7—115 of this article, the Commission or the
governing body of either county may prepare regulations
and amendments [thereto] governing the subdivision of
land within the regional district or the respective
portions of the regional district within Montgomery or
Prince George's County. The regulations and amendments
shall be adopted by the respective governing bodies of
the counties, with whatever changes they [deem] CONSIDER
appropriate, and shall be effective from the date of
adoption or from such other date the governing body
designates provided that such adoption does not affect in
any manner the administration of the regulations by the
Commission or its functions under Section 7-115 hereof.
If the Commission prepares or has prepared regulations
and amendments, which it presents to the governing body
of [the applicable county] MONTGOMERY COUNTY for
appropriate action, and such body does not approve,
modify or reject the regulations and amendments within
six months from the date of receipt thereof from the
Commission, the regulations and amendments shall be
deemed approved and have the force and effect of law.
The regulations may provide for (1) the harmonious
development of the district; (2) the coordination of

or with the Commission's general plan or with any road
plan adopted or approved by the Commission as part of the
Commission's general plan; (3) adequate open spaces for
traffic, recreation, light, and air, by dedication or
otherwise, and the dedication to public use or conveyance
of areas designated for the dedication under the
provisions of zoning regulations relating to average lot
size or planned community subdivision and for the payment
of a monetary fee, in lieu of dedication, not to exceed
five percent of the total assessed value of the land to
be used by the Commission to purchase the open spaces for
the use and benefit of the subdivision in cases where
dedication would be impractical; (4) the reservation of
lands for schools and other public buildings and for
parks, playgrounds, and other public purposes, provided
no reservation of land for traffic, recreation or any
other public purposes as herein provided shall continue
for longer than three years without the written approval
of all persons holding or otherwise owning any legal or
equitable interest in the property; and provided further
that the properties reserved for public use shall be
exempt from all State, county, and local taxes during the
period; (5) the conservation of or production of adequate
transportation, water drainage and sanitary facilities;
(6) the preservation of the location of and the volume
and flow of water in and other characteristics of natural
streams and other waterways; (7) the avoidance of
population congestion; (8) the avoidance of scattered or
premature subdivision of land as would involve danger or
injury to health, safety or welfare by reason of the lack
of water supply, drainage, transportation or other public
services or necessitate an excessive expenditure of
public funds for the supply of services; (9) conformity
