Del. Byrne also points out that TDRs can “rescue” low income housing in areas of resurgent growth, and “modify the roller coaster ‘booms and busts’ of land use rezonings.”
One factor that makes the concept of TDRs particularly important in this area is the recently enacted Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act, Del. Bryne said. That act requires that measures for the protection and .preservation of tidal and non-tidal wetlands must be provided for in local planning, zoning and land use ordinances. “The economic windfalls and wipeouts created by the need to save the Bay from further degradation cry out for solutions more creative than rezoning to lower density.”
Del. Byrne’s appearance is being sponsored by the Rappahannock Farmers’ Association, the Rappahannock Co. Agricultural Advisory Committee, the Rappahannock Farm Bureau, the Rappahannock League for Environhlental Protection and the Piedmont Environmental Council. _It is the first in a series'of lectures designed to familiarize Rappahannock County residents with the land use problems facing our county and state, and some of the possible solutions — including new and innovative techniques not found in traditional land use plans.
The public is invited to attend this free event. It will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the upstairs courtroom of the county courthouse in Washington.
