APPLICATION FOR A DEVELOPMENT PERMIT THAT IS ON THE AGENDA FOR
THE HEARING.

(D)  PARTICIPATION BY OTHER PARTIES.

GOVERNMENTAL UNIT SHALL BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT
RELEVANT FACTS, EVIDENCE, OR ARGUMENTS FOR OR AGAINST THE

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 78A, § 62.

In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the former
phrases "with a local government" and "with other
State agencies" are deleted as unnecessary in light of
the use of the defined terms "joint hearing" and
"consolidated hearing", respectively.

Also in subsection (a)(1) of this section, the word
"authorized", which formerly modified the word
"designee", is deleted as unnecessary.

In subsections (c) and (d) of this section, the clause
"that is on the agenda for the hearing" is added for
clarity.
