` Transfer of Density in Urban Separator . The Council agreed to look at
the density of-:the underlying- land as-'the density to be considered for
transference of development rights- to 'the -remainder of the property.
The intent of the Council in doing this is to allow the property owner
` who bears the burden of the Urban Separator and its building restriction
.not to -lose - potential development. ,right's as ' a 'result' of •th'e Urban
Separator overlay. If the property owner wishes to take advantage of a
transfer of density, the amount 'of property • within the _`Urban:' Separator
will be included in the acreage in figuring the annexation fees. The
,;. ,- Council agreed• • that ~ calculation 'of • the ~ number of• units that could have
-- •~.. :: `beeri-~- coristructed• in the•`Urban .- S'eparator"' portion of the "property
should. reflect the reductions caused by the various development
constraints on the property.
