Commission Approves Ordinance to Permit Transfer of Residential Units via TDR Program
Summary
On second reading the commission amended the Unified Land Development Regulations to allow allocation of residential dwelling units from sending sites to receiving sites through a transfer-of-development-rights (TDR) program.
The City Commission on second reading approved an ordinance amending the Unified Land Development Regulations to permit allocation of residential dwelling units from a sending site to a receiving site using a transfer-of-development-rights (TDR) program.
The ordinance (OSR-3) revises multiple ULDR sections including 47-13.2 (downtown regional activity center review process), 47-13.5 (regional activity center regulations), and section 47-28 (flexibility ratios) to enable unit transfers between sites. Commissioners voted yes on second reading (Commissioner Glassman: yes; Commissioner Beasley Pittman: yes; Commissioner Sorensen: yes; Mayor Dean J. Trantalis: yes).
City staff introduced the ordinance and there was no recorded amendment during the meeting. The change allows development rights to be moved from designated sending sites to receiving sites as governed by the revised ULDR language. The commission’s action adds a formal mechanism for unit reallocation under the city’s downtown regulatory framework.
