Land Use & Zoning

In Alaska, a 'Transfer of Development Rights' (TDR) program allows:

AThe state to take development rights through condemnation
BDevelopment rights to be purchased from landowners in a preservation area and used to increase density elsewhere✓ Correct
CNonconforming uses to transfer to adjacent properties
DZoning classifications to be transferred between parcels

Explanation

TDR programs allow landowners in conservation or 'sending' zones to sell their development rights to developers in 'receiving' zones who may use them to build at higher densities than normally permitted. This preserves sensitive land while allowing development in appropriate areas.
