Land Use & Zoning
A Florida 'transfer of development rights' (TDR) program allows property owners in conservation areas to:
ABuild more units than zoning otherwise allows
BSell their unused development potential to developers in receiving areas✓ Correct
CTransfer their property to the government at appraised value
DConvert agricultural land to commercial use without rezoning
Explanation
TDR programs allow owners of land in sending areas (often environmentally sensitive or agricultural land to be preserved) to sell their development rights to developers in designated receiving areas. The sending area landowner is compensated without selling the land, and the receiving area developer can build at higher density.
