  3. TDR in Puget Sound Issaquah Existing conservation TDR: • King County (1998/2001) • Redmond (1997) • Issaquah (2005) • Seattle (1998/2001) • Bellevue (2008) • Sammamish (2011) • Kitsap County (2006) • Bainbridge Island (1996) • Pierce County (2007) • Snohomish (2004/2008) • Arlington (2004) • Everett (1991/2006)

Focus on Regional Transfers • Sending areas – land designated by the counties as sending areas that are: • Agricultural or forest land of long-term significance; • Rural land being farmed or managed for forestry; • Land whose conservation meets other state and regionally adopted priorities; and • Land that is in current use as a manufactured/mobile home park. • Receiving areas - incorporated cities and towns

  5. Regional TDR Alliance Alliance Partners: Snohomish County, Pierce County, King County, Forterra, Puget Sound Regional Council, and Commerce to: • Implement and enhance county TDR programs • Build capacity in cities to receive development rights from farms, forest land and open space • Provide information resources to cities and counties • Interlocal Terms and Conditions Rule
