A. The public hearings shall be conducted as nearly as may be in accordance with the procedural standards prescribed in the Government Code for the conduct of zoning hearings. Each person interested in the matter shall be given an opportunity to be heard. The applicant has the burden of proof at the public hearing on the proposed development agreement.

B. No action, inaction or recommendation regarding the proposed development agreement shall be held void or invalid or be set aside by the court by reason of any error, irregularity, informality, neglect or omission (“error”) as to any matter pertaining to petition, application, notice, finding, record, hearing, report, recommendation, or any matters of procedure whatever unless after an examination of the entire case, including the evidence, the court is of the opinion that the error complained of was prejudicial and that by reason of the error the complaining party sustained and suffered substantial injury, and that a different result would have been probable if the error had not occurred or existed. There is not a presumption that error is prejudicial or that injury was done if error is shown. (Ord. 2003-04 § 2, 2003)
