Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact

                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                              RS08515

The purpose of this legislation is to amend Chapter 65, Title 67
by adding a new Section, Section 67-6515A. This legislation would
allow any county or city governing body to establish a program in
which the transfer of development rights may be utilized as an
option to protect significant land resources while compensating
the property owner. A Transfer of Development Rights Program
involves the transfer of future development away from a resource
protection area to an area appropriate for development. The
governing body determines the amounts and conditions of such TDRs
to fulfill the goals of the county or city pertaining to
preservation and conservation of significant resources.




                            FISCAL NOTE

This legislation will have no fiscal impact on any state revenue
or appropriation. By itself, this authorizing legislation will
have no fiscal impact on any local government revenue or
appropriation. If a local government chooses to adopt a Transfer
of Development Rights Program under the authority of this
legislation that government may incur some additional
administrative costs. However, such costs should not require a
significant expenditure of local funds
