Council reviews development agreement for Creative Lanco and TDR options
Summary
Council considered a development agreement required for Creative Lanco's preliminary plat; staff explained how TDRs (transfer of development rights) can be acquired via market transactions or by paying fees into a city fund for preservation purchases, and noted the Planning Commission conditioned preliminary plat approval on the agreement and utility provisions.
Staff briefed the council on the development agreement that must be executed for Creative Lanco's preliminary plat to become effective. Mike said the applicant's rezoning and conditional preliminary plat approval require an executed development agreement; the document sets out how the city's TDR/DCC program would apply to the development.
Mike explained the TDR options: developers can negotiate with eligible landowners to acquire TDRs on the open market, or pay a fee to the city to fund land preservation in lieu of securing TDRs. Planning Commission approval of the preliminary plat included two conditions: utility availability (sewer) and execution of the development agreement. Mike said this agreement is the product of months of staff‑developer negotiations and is essentially a confirmation of how the TDR program will apply to the first phase.
