Title
An Ordinance establishing a Transfer of Development Rights program in Prince George’s County.
Background
The 2002 Approved General Plan includes a vision and goals for the Rural Tier. The vision is protection of large amounts of land for woodland, wildlife habitat, recreation and agriculture pursuits, and preservation of the rural character and vistas that now exist. Policy 1 for the Rural Tier proposes retention and enhancement of environmentally sensitive features and agricultural resources. One of the recommended strategies to implement the policies and vision for the Rural Tier is the investigation of options for establishing a transfer of development rights (TDR) program to protect both land in the Rural Tier and important environmental properties in the Developed and Developing Tiers. CB-80-2008 establishes a TDR program in the County.
10/21/2008 - Prior to introduction, CB-80-2008 (DR-2) was amended on the floor; DR-3 was introduced.
