Land Use & Zoning
A 'Transfer of Development Rights' (TDR) program in Colorado allows:
AA. Landowners to transfer their property title to the government
BB. Owners of protected land (sending areas) to sell development rights to developers in designated receiving areas, preserving open space while allowing density elsewhere✓ Correct
CC. Cities to take private property without compensation
DD. Only commercial developers to transfer building permits
Explanation
TDR programs separate development rights from the land itself. A landowner in a preservation zone (sending area) can sell their development rights to developers in designated growth areas (receiving areas). This lets the sending area remain protected (farmland, open space) while the receiving area gets additional density.
