Annotation— Practice whereby a county councilman, with regard to his own district, has primary responsibility for identifying which proposals in recommended comprehensive rezoning should be adopted did not violate the requirement of § 303 of the county Charter, prior to the amendment of this section by Bill No. 63, 1974, that the county council act as a body.
