Sec. 1612.

(1) Improper constitution as a decisionmaking body or grounds for disqualification of those making the zoning decision.

(b) The court may remand a matter to the board before final disposition of a petition for review with directions that the board conduct further factfinding or that the board prepare an adequate record, if:

(1) the board failed to prepare or preserve an adequate record;

(2) the board improperly excluded or omitted evidence from the record;  or

(3) a relevant law changed after the zoning decision and the court determines that the new provision of law may control the outcome.
