(a)In approving any zoning map amendment, the district council may consider and adopt any reasonable requirements, safeguards, and conditions that:

(2)would further enhance the coordinated, harmonious, and systematic development of the regional district.
(1)A statement of any condition provided under subsection
(a)of this section shall be included in the resolution granting the amendment.
(2)The conditions shall remain in effect for so long as the property remains zoned in accordance with the resolution and the applicable zoning classification requested.

(e)The district council may adopt local laws necessary to provide adequate notice, public hearings, and enforcement procedures for the implementation of this section.
(f)If any resolution, or any part or condition of any resolution, passed by the district council in accordance with this section is declared invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction:
