2008See also Harris v. Mayor and City Council of Bolt., 35 Md.App. 572, 584 , 371 A.2d 706, 712-13 (1977), where the Court of Special Appeals upheld an ordinance that used a formula to determine the number of allowable dwelling units within a zone with disparate results, finding that "[a] classification having some reasonable basis does not offend ... merely because it is not made with mathematical nicety or because in practice it results in some inequality.” In that case, the analysis concerned an alleged violation of the federal Equal Protection clause.
