140 <br /> Attachment 8 <br /> STATEMENT OF INCONSISTENCY <br /> OF A PROPOSED ZONING ATLAS MAP AMENDMENT <br /> WITH THE ADOPTED ORANGE COUNTY 2030 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br /> An applicant-initiated amendment (MA24-0006) to the Zoning Atlas has been reviewed to <br /> rezone +/- 11.22 acres of a +/- 80.52-acre parcel as follows: <br /> Parcel Owner of <br /> Identification Township Record Current Zoning Proposed Zoning <br /> Number (PIN) <br /> ■ REDA-CD-1 (NC <br /> Agricultural Residential Highway 57 Speedway <br /> Area Rural Economic <br /> 0910-24-6642 Little River Justin (AR) Development Area <br /> Chandler Flat River Protected Conditional District) <br /> ■ <br /> Watershed Flat River Protected <br /> Watershed <br /> The Board of County Commissioners hereby finds: <br /> a.
