Notes
| [Note] | *Editor's note-Rezoning through the use of sectional maps has been generally upheld. In such situations the "change or mistake rule" is inapplicable and the County's actions are presumed correct. See Potomac Valley League v. County Council for Montgomery County, 43 Md. App. 56, 403 A.2d 388 (1979); Montgomery County v. Horman, 46 Md. App. 491, 418 A.2d 1249 (1980). Norbeck Village Joint Venture v. Montgomery County Council, 254 Md. 59, 254 A.2d 700 (1969). In Montgomery County v. Woodward & Lothrop, Inc., 280 Md. 686, 376 A.2d 483 (1977), it was held that property owners do not have the right to cross examine witnesses at Council hearings on sectional map amendments. The court also held that imposing time limits on speakers at such hearings does not violate due process. |
