Approval of the zoning atlas <br />amendment would align the NC -2 zoning district boundaries with the boundaries of the recorded <br />lots. This amendment would also allow full use of each parcel, in support of the development <br />requirements and privileges attributed to the NC -2 zoning district. <br />Staff Analysis: In accordance with Section 2.8 of the UDO, the Planning Director is required to <br />`cause an analysis to be made of the application' and pass that analysis on the reviewing body. <br />In that respect the Planning Director states the following: <br />1. The application has been deemed complete in accordance with the <br />requirements of Section 2.8 of the UDO. <br />2. The properties are of sufficient size to be rezoned to the NC -2 zoning <br />designation. <br />3. The present use of the properties conforms to permitted NC -2 land uses <br />
