A BILL to amend the Code of Virginia by adding in Chapter 7 of Title 15.2 a section numbered 15.2-750, relating to county manager plan of government; transfer of development rights.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1.  That the Code of Virginia is amended by adding in Chapter 7 of Title 15.2 a section numbered 15.2-750 as follows:

§ 15.2-750. Transfer of development rights.

The transfer of development rights shall be subject to such terms as may be provided by zoning regulations, the conditions of a special use permit or special exception, or the proffered conditions of a rezoning application, including that the terms are binding on the owners of such property and on their successors and assigns.
