Reverse geocoding is an ill-defined operation. Sometimes you're driving along a street at night and want to know the address of the house on the right. For that, the nearest accessPoint will work fine. Sometimes you have a list of rooftop points and want to know the associated addresses. For this, nearest parcelPoint isn't always going to work. For example, a building may be near the corner of a parcel and the nearest parcelPoint is in the neighbouring parcel. For this case, its better to find the parcel that contains the rooftop point then find the site or sites associated with that parcel. sites/withinParcel supports this second case. The BC Ministry of Agriculture has a need for finding the address of a farm based on some point in a parcel.

sites/withinParcel takes a parcel id (aka pid) and returns all the sites within the parcel associated with that pid. ParcelMapBC will be used to source the needed parcel boundaries and pids.
