2023 Docket Enabling Ordinance December 19, 2023 <br />Page 209 <br /> <br /> <br />2. Any portion of the sending site used for residential development or reserved for <br />future residential development in the TDR conservation easement shall be subtracted <br />from the calculation of available density. <br />i. Example: “An individual owns 26 acres in a Rural 5 zone all qualifying as <br />a sending site. The acreage has been previously divided into four 3-acre <br />parcels and one fourteen-acre parcel. There is an existing home and barn <br />constructed on the fourteen-acre parcel that covers four acres of the fourteen- <br />acre parcel. The Rural 5 zone requires a 5-acre minimum parcel size for a <br />residence and associated out buildings. Therefor the total available TDR <br />Density Credits would be five. This would include the four vacant 3-acre <br />parcels equaling four TDR Density Credits and one TDR Density Credit for <br />the vacant 9-acres of the 14-acre parcel (14-acres less the 5-acre residence = 9 <br />remaining acres and one TDR Density Credit under Rural 5 zoning) equaling <br />5 parcels available as TDR Density Credits.” <br />ii. Example: “An individual owns 26 acres in a Rural 5 zone all qualifying as <br />a sending site. The acreage has been divided into four 3-acre parcels and one <br />fourteen-acre parcel. There is an existing home and barn constructed on one <br />of the 3-acre parcels. The Rural 5 zone requires 5-acres minimum parcel size <br />for a residence and associated out buildings. Therefor the total available TDR <br />Density Credits would be five. This would include the three vacant 3-acre <br />parcels equaling three credits and two TDR Density Credits for the vacant 14- <br />acre parcel. <br />iii. Example: “An individual owns 26 vacant acres in a Rural 5 zone all <br />qualifying as a sending site. The acreage has NOT been divided and remains <br />as one parcel. The owner intends to reserve a building site for a future home. <br />The number of TDR Density Credits available to sell or trade from this parcel <br />would be 4. A Single 26-acre parcel in a Rural 5 zone may be divided into a <br />total of five parcels. One unit has been reserved for future residential <br />development therefor the total available TDR Credits would be four. “ <br />3. Calculating TDR Density Credits: <br />a. For purposes of calculating the number of TDR Density Credits a sending site as described in KCC 17.13.040 (i) may sell, the area of a sending site shall be determined <br />by: : i. Kittitas County Assessor records; or ii. A survey funded by the applicant that has been prepared and stamped by a surveyor licensed in the State of Washington. <br />iii. If the sending site consists of multiple lots, the acreage in sum shall be determined through the means outlined in KCC 17.13.040 3.a.i. <br />b.
