8 <br /> 2. Analysis <br /> As required under Section 2.3.9 of the Orange County Unified Development <br /> Ordinance, the Planning Director is required to- 'cause an analysis to be made of the <br /> application and, based upon that analysis, prepare a recommendation for <br /> consideration by the Planning Board and the Board of County Commissioners'.
