2023 Docket Enabling Ordinance December 19, 2023 Page 210 i. i. The underlying zoning; The calculation shall be based on the identified area which qualifies as a sending site divided by the allowed underling zoning density; Example: A 20-acre parcel in the Rural 5 zone is impacted by a 5-acre critical area. The lot would qualify for 1 TDR Density Credit leaving the other 15 acres available for development as allowed by the underlying zone; or ii. ii. The established density meaning the number of lots, with Kittitas County Parcels numbers assigned, located within in or partially within the area designated and qualifying as a sending site. Example: there are five 3-acre parcels and 1 five-acre parcel under one ownership. The 5-acre parcel is 100% impacted by a critical area and one of the 3- acre parcels is partially (20%) impacted by a critical area. The owner qualifies for 2 TDR Density Credits. Both the impacted 3-acre parcel and the impacted 5-acre parcel would have their development rights extinguished. The remaining four 3-acre parcels are available for development as allowed by the underlying zone. c. 4. Development rights, in the form of a TDR Density Credit, from one sending site may be converted and transferred to more than one (1) receiving site and one receiving site may accept TDR Density Credits from more than one (1) sending site. 5. The determination of the number of TDR Density Credits a sending site has available shall be valid for transfer purposes only, shall be documented in a TDR Density Credit certificate, and shall be considered a final determination, not to be revised due to changes to the sending site's zoning. 6. The development right determinations and applications in 1. through 5. above extend only to the TDR program and do not change the sending site parcel's existing zone designation. (Ord. 2013-001, 2013; Ord. 2011-013, 2011; Ord. 2010-006, 2010 ; Ord. 2009-25, 2009) 17.13.050 Sending Site Development Limitations. 1. When only a portion of a site's development rights have been extinguished, a sending site may subsequently accommodate remaining residential dwelling units, if any, on the remaining buildable portion of the parcel(s) or be subdivided consistent with the base density provisions for the applicable zone pursuant to Kittitas County Code and other Kittitas County development regulations. 17.13.055 Receiving Site Development Limitations. 1. 1. The receiving site application shall include a boundary which includes all the parcels that will be affected by the TDR Density Credit and shall identify the location where the TDR Density Credit shall be placed. 2. 2. The density within the established boundary may be increased over the underlying zone by the number of TDR Density Credits. This means that the parcel sizes within the boundary may be decreased.
