Ocean Hideaway Condominium Ass'n v. Boardwalk Plaza Venture

How courts have described this case

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

• involving an appeal of a zoning decision made by the Ocean City Board of Zoning Appeals to permit construction of a seventeen-story building
• board erred in adopting findings of fact that merely recited factors that it was obligated to consider in approving special exception
• no substantial evidence to support factual findings of zoning authority; because of the lack of substantial evidence, zoning authority’s decision was not fairly debatable, and thus was “arbitrary, capricious and a denial of due process of law.”
• “Although the Ocean City Board [of Zoning Appeals] did not use a prepared printed form, the method it used and the content of its ‘Findings of Fact’ amount to a simple repetition of the nine statutory requirements and nothing more.”
