Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

holding that “piecemeal rezoning” involved adjudicative fact-finding, which warranted a meaningful statement of the Council’s findings of fact
holding that the agency’s findings were insufficient to permit judicial review
explaining that an agency’s “[findings of fact must be meaningful and cannot simply repeat statutory criteria, broad conclusory statements, or boilerplate resolutions”
noting that Maryland Rules 7–201 and 7–202 do “not grant a right of judicial review, and ... [are] inapplicable where judicial review is not authorized by statute”
finding a zoning process to be adjudicative because the zoning process involved “applying the Zoning Ordinance standards to the particular facts of Bucktail’s property”
allowing appeal of circuit court’s judicial review of county council’s decision to deny a zoning amendment ordinance as it substantially sought a common law writ of mandamus
