2. Customized Receiving Areas:
The following five receiving area attributes are important to encourage TDR: There are many possible receiving area options for jurisdictions to consider. Some communities succeed at locating receiving areas for TDRs from rural sending areas at infill sites within previously-developed urban areas including downtowns (South Lake Tahoe, CA).More commonly, receiving areas are found at the urban fringe where adopted plans may already call for continued growth since the new development would be closeto existing jobs,schools and shopping as well as infrastructure (Montgomery County, MD). Some communities have overcome the potential for resident opposition to development by locating receiving areas in new towns or new villages that are not contiguous with existing development (Collier County, FL). Other communities have found that low density receiving areas are best for them where developers can use TDR to achieve densities that fit the community.
