Purpose. The purpose of this chapter is to encourage the conservation of long-
term commercially significant agricultural lands by allowing owners of such lands to realize the

Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) Sending Area. There is created a TDR
Sending Area, which applies to real property with a Land Use designation of Agricultural
• Resource Land. �The underlying zoning

Allocation of Transferable Development Rights. Every parcel of land located
in the TDR Sending Area shall have credited to it, upon certification by the City's Planning
Services Office, transferable development rights in the amount set forth below. These
transferable development rights allotted in accordance with this section may be used to obtain
approval for established residential densities, mereialfl t' (FAR), Offlee (FAR)�
on lands located within TDR Receiving Area(s), in accordance with the zoning in the TDR
Receiving Areas.
i. The number of transferable development rights credited to parcels located within the
Agriculture Resource Land Distriet shall be calculated as follows: the gross number of acres
plus one additional acre for any remainder more than 0.75 acres in size multiplied by four (4)
equals the total number of transfer of development right units. enekl a� '"* ^`=et ~ "
