HOW TO IMPLEMENT SUCCESSFUL TDR PROGRAMS & ORDINANCES

MAKING HISTORIC PRESERVATION & LAND CONSERVATION LUCRATIVE WITH INNOVATIVE LAND USE PLANNING PRACTICES

The time is now to consider better land use applications in the planning field that integrates smart growth management practices with innovative conservation and preservation efforts. One solution to achieve this goal is implementing Transferable Development Right (TDR) Programs in counties that have both historic and ecological assets so that new forms of economic development can spur.

By creating a general guide and framework for how TDRs can and should be implemented to be effective, as well as identifying the potential sending and receiving areas these counties should consider, next steps should be made by local municipalities to engage and inform their communities with these preliminary options. Feedback gathered by the public on these options will in turn allow municipalities to develop legislative amendments to their zoning ordinances so that TDRs can be introduced.
