Land Use & Zoning
In Wyoming, a 'transfer of development rights' (TDR) program requires identifying both sending and receiving zones because:
AAll zones can both send and receive development rights
BSending zones have conservation value where development rights are sold; receiving zones accept higher density development✓ Correct
CTDRs only work in agricultural zones
DFederal law requires separate sending and receiving zones for all TDR programs
Explanation
A TDR program requires: (1) sending zones (valuable conservation areas—farmland, open space, habitat) where landowners can sell their development rights; and (2) receiving zones (areas suitable for growth) where developers can purchase TDRs to build at higher density. Both are essential for a functioning TDR market.
