The County Executive shall appoint one or more attorneys, who are members of the bar
of Maryland and are experienced in zoning law and procedure, to serve as People's
Zoning Counsel. Their compensation shall be contained in the annual budget, and they
shall be provided such clerical and other assistance as may be determined by the annual
budget. They shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 709, 1001, and 1002 of this Charter. It shall be the duty of the People's Zoning Counsel to appear at
all hearings on zoning cases, whether before the Council or a hearing examiner, for
the purposes of protecting the public interest and insuring the compilation of a full
and complete record. The People's Zoning Counsel may summon, examine and cross-examine
witnesses, introduce documentary evidence into the record, file exceptions, and make
such argument to the hearing examiner or the Council as the law and the evidence in
the case may warrant.
