Introduced by: Robert J. Wittman | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Cash proffers; purchase of development rights programs. Provides that a locality that has established a purchase of development rights program may include in its zoning ordinance provisions for the voluntary proffering in writing, by the owner, of reasonable conditions, which shall include the payment of cash to the locality for local purchase of development rights that will be dedicated as easements for conservation, open space, or other purposes pursuant to the Open-Space Land Act. No such proffer shall be accepted by a locality; however, if the owner has already proffered dedication of such easements to that locality. For purposes of this bill, development rights means the level and quantity of development permitted by the zoning ordinance expressed in terms of housing units per acre, floor area ratio, or equivalent local measure.
