REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as CA §§
6-208(d), (e), and (f), 6-209(a), and 6-210(a).

Action under this section is governed also by the
Administrative Procedure Act, which requires the
Board of Commissioners to give written findings
of fact with any order refusing an application.

In subsection (a) of this section, the word
"proposed" is added for clarity, and the word
"bylaws" is added as an accepted practice of the
Board of Commissioners. See § 9-205 of this
subtitle.

As to subsection (c) of this section, § 8-405 of
this article relies on Maryland Rule B4 as to the
time for filing an appeal. The reference in this
subsection to the Maryland Rules is added for
clarity.

In subsection (d) of this section, the phrase "or
on final determination of any appeal taken" is
added to make clear that the action of the Board
of Commissioners necessarily follows any appeal.

The only other changes are in style.

"Board of Commissioners" is defined in § 9—101 of
this title.
