      2.  Upon the initiation of a complaint by the Administrator, the matter must be set for a hearing by the Administrator, who shall schedule a hearing before the Commission, and the licensee, permittee or owner-developer is entitled to be heard thereon in person or by counsel.

      3.  The Commission shall hold the hearing within 90 days after the filing of a complaint by the Administrator. The time of the hearing may be continued upon the motion of the Commission or at the discretion of the Commission, upon the written request of the licensee, permittee or owner-developer or of the Division for good cause shown.
