Strategy Three: ConservationTransfer of Development Rights (TDR Program)A Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) program may be used to redirect growth and development away fromenvironmentally sensitive areas to locations in which existing and planned infrastructure capacity andtransportation improvements are scheduled. The Town of Summerville in concert with Dorchester County andthe Town of Ridgeville should consider implementing a TDR program to conserve culturally, historically, andenvironmentally sensitive areas in Dorchester County.A TDR program is a voluntary, market‐driven program which grants a landowner the ability to sell thedevelopment potential of a site to another landowner, while continuing to maintain ownership of his or herrespective property. These acquired “rights” may be transferred from one site to another as it relates to “byright zoning”.An area where development rights may be purchased is the TDR “sending area.” The purchaser of thesedevelopment rights may be allowed by the local governing body to increase residential density in anotherpredetermined location, referred to as a TDR “receiving area.”In Dorchester County’s comprehensive land use plan, environmentally sensitive areas such as the Ashley RiverRoad Historic Overlay District, the Edisto River floodplain, the Great Cypress Swamp, the Four Holes Swamp havebeen designated as TDR “sending areas”. The Great Cypress Swamp, Four Holes Swamp, Ashley River floodplain,and Edisto River floodplain are natural greenbelt corridors consisting of isolated conservation easements. A TDRProgram may be used to enhance these conservation areas. Successful implementation of a TDR program couldtake years, the Town of Summerville in partnership with Dorchester County and the Town of Ridgeville shouldidentify TDR “receiving areas”. The Town of Summerville and the Town of Ridgeville will need to continuallymaintain zoning records as it relates to the TDR Program, Dorchester County should consider maintaining alldeed restrictions and easements on file at the County Courthouse.Strategy Four: Workforce HousingWorkforce Housing is housing that is made affordable to people who earn 80 to 120 percent of the area’smedian income. The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (USDHUD) classifies homes asaffordable when the amount spend on rent or mortgage payments does not exceed 30 percent of a household’scombined gross income.Market‐based incentives may be enacted by the Town of Summerville to encourage workforce housing. A fasttrackpermitting and/or development review process may be considered to expedite municipal approval fordevelopment proposals that contain wholly or portions of workforce housing. Workforce housing should beencouraged in Central Neighborhoods, Gateway Mixed Use and Neighborhood Mixed Use Districts and alongCommunity‐oriented Corridors.By‐right zoning districts should be tailored for these future land use districts to allow a variety of housing typesincluding accessory dwelling units, rowhouses, townhouses, apartments, condominiums and live‐work units.p Priority Investment Areas Element Page 9
