Explanation
TDR programs allow owners of land in 'sending areas' (rural, agricultural, or conservation land where development is restricted) to sell their unused development rights to developers in designated 'receiving areas' (areas where increased density is desired). This compensates landowners for development restrictions while concentrating development in planned areas. Florida municipalities increasingly use TDR programs.
