Sec. 59-H-7.1. Basis and types of action.

An application for a sectional or district map amendment must be decided on the basis of the evidence of record. It can be approved, with or without modification, in whole or in part, as the District Council deems appropriate, as a map amendment with the force and effect of law, or it may be denied. The District Council may file an application for a map amendment at any time without regard to time limitations.

   Editor's note-In JMC Corporation, Inc. v. Montgomery County, 54 Md. App. 1, 456 A.2d 931 (1983), it was held that adoption of sectional map amendments pursuant to the above section as a part of a comprehensive rezoning program is procedure distinctly different from adoption of a comprehensive plan. In this case the court upheld the County's action as not being arbitrary.
