BODY
SUMMARY STATEMENT OR LEGAL NOTICE LANGUAGE:
The County Council adopted a policy in the 2016 Comprehensive Plan update that included convening a work group to examine a variety of transfer of development right (TDR) and purchase of development right (PDR) issues. In accordance with this policy, the County Executive appointed the Whatcom County TDR/PDR Multi-Stakeholder Work Group in February 2017. The Work Group’s Final Report was issued on October 3, 2018. The Work Group’s primary recommendation is to transition from a traditional TDR program to a density credit program. Staff would like to discuss potential zoning code amendments relating to density credits, including which amendments should be docketed for further review.
