The City Council will hold a public hearing on Monday, October 17 at 7 pm to consider changes to the Land Development Regulations. This amendment updates the existing Transferable Development Rights (TDR) program. TDRs are a tool that allows development density to be re-allocated from one area (in this case, parts of the Southeast Quadrant identified as priority natural resource & agricultural land) to areas where development is planner / allowable. This amendment expands the areas where TDRs can be received to areas outside the SEQ districts to the City’s medium and higher-density residential and mixed use zoning districts along transit-served areas, establishes how TDRs can be used and maximum use of TDRs in all areas where they can be received, and outlines the process for severing TDRs from a property and receiving them on a property. The result will be an expanded market for use of TDRs and the potential for higher residential density along the Shelburne Road corridor and parts of the Williston Road corridor.
