Comparison: Noncontig vs. TDR

Noncontiguous Cluster

• Municipality amends master plan, adopts ordinance

• Municipality authorizes option to develop using noncontiguous cluster

• Implementation by landowner and developer is voluntary

• Smaller scale - depends on

developer ability to make “deals”

TDR• Municipality adopts many

planning documents subject to county and state review

• Municipality establishes system where landowners can buy and sell credits

• Implementation can be voluntary or mandatory

• Scale can be municipal-wide
