future premium transit facilities along
Georgia 400 .
E. That a range of high-quality and
aesthetically compatible housing options
should be provided to accommodate
different needs in the community.

of accessibility.
M. That civic buildings and public gathering
places should be provided as locations that
reinforce community identity and support
self-governance .

the Deerfield Form Based Code
Regulating Plan ., e>Ecept the Five Acre
Road Zone.
±:-Lin the Fi 1.«e ,a.ere Road Zone , density
must not elEceed 10 ,000 square feet of
floor area per acre of gross site area ,
regardless of Transect Zone or Special
District.
B. Density is expressed in build i ng units per
acre as specified by Transect Zone in Tabl e
11 , section a (see Sec. 7B.5.15).
C. The maximum density of a site is calculated
by multiplying the Transect Zone's density
identified in Table 11 section a by the gross
site area. Where a site includes multiple
Transect Zones , each must be calculated
independently. The area of new
thoroughfares and civic spaces on the site
Unified Development Code I City of Milton
Sec. 7 B.l General !ARTICLE 7B DEERFIELD FORM-BASED CODE
Sec. 7B.1.6 . Density Calculations
must be allocated to the closest Transect
Zone(s) on the site. Where a thoroughfare
or civic space adjoins multiple Transect
Zones , their area must be proportionally
allocated to the adjoining zones.
D. Where a site is subdivided into lots, a lot's
density may exceed the density of the
Transect Zone within which it lies, provided
that the maximum density of the Transect
Zone for the site as whole as established in

is located in the T-2 Transec t Zone ,
located i n the AG -1 district, or zoned for
or developed with a si ngle family
dwelling unit, as prohibited in Sec.
7B.l.7.F.
7B.1. 7. Transfer of Development Rights
A. Purpose
7 -68
The TDR mechanism is intended to
encourage the voluntary redirection of
future growth from areas where Milton
wants reduced development into areas
designated for development. Landown ers
can voluntarily choose to hav e their
properties considered as either open space
TDR sending sites or park /greenway TDR
sending sites . Open space TDR sending
sites rema i n under private ownership
subject to a conservation easement
permanently limiting future development.
Park/greenway TDR sending sites are
t ransferred from private ownership to the
City or otherwise secured for public access
i n a manner acceptable to the City. In return
for voluntarily participating in the TDR
program , private property owners receive
Transferable Development Rights (TDRs)
w hich can be transferred for use at
designated TDR Receiving Sites .
B. TDR Sending Site Criteria
1. Open space TDR sending sites must be
parcels at least 2 acres in size and zoned
T2 within this district, or at least 2 acres
in size and located outside this district
but within the subarea of parcels
fronting Bethany Bend from Hopewell
Road east to the Forsyth County Line ,
and parcels fronting Cogburn Road
from Devonshire Farms Way south to
Bethany Bend . Except for the parcels
described in the preced i ng sentence , all
other open space TDR sending sites
must be at least 5 acres in size and
zoned AG -1 outside t his district. All
open space TDR send i ng sites must
contain natural or agricultural features
whose retention would implemen t the
City 's goals for maintaining significant
environmental areas, rural character,
and op en space . Parcels will not qualify
if the restrictions that would be
imposed by a conservation easement
have already been established by a
preexisting easement or similar
i nstrument.
2. Park/greenway TDR sending sites must
be at least one acre in size, unoccupied
by any residences or other
improvements that would render the
Unified Development Code I City of Milton
TextAmendmentRZ25-07 APPENDIX "A"
site unusable for public access and
must be designated as suitable for park,
greenway, civic space, trail or other
public recreational uses in a plan or
code adopted by the City.
C. TDR Sending Site Approval Process
1. Open space TDR sending sites: Property
owners may offer their land as open
space TDR sending sites using
application forms provided by the
Director. If the Director finds that the
proposed property meets the criteria ,
they must approve the application and
oversee the execution and recordation
of a permanent conservation
easement, approved by the Director,
that limits future development of the
sending site to a density of no more
than one dwelling per parcel or one
dwelling per full 25 acres, whichever
density is greater. The easement must
specify that all other uses, building
requirements, and activities are
controlled by the standards of the T2
zone for parcels within this district and
the standards of the AG -1 district for
parcels outside this district.
2. Park/greenway TDR sending sites :
Property owners may offer their land as
park/greenway TDR sending sites using
application forms provided by the
Director. If the property owner
proposes to transfer title to the City, the
change of ownership must pertain to
the entire parcel. If the Director finds
that the proposed property meets the
criteria for a park/greenway TDR
sending site, they will approve the
application and oversee the transfer of
title to the City or an
agency/organization authorized by the
City Council for approval. A permanent
Unified Development Code I City of Milton
Sec . 7B .1 General !ARTICLE 7B DEERFIELD FORM-BASED CODE
Sec. 7B .1.7 . Transfer of Development Rights
public access easement approved by
the Director may be used instead oftitle
transfer if the proposed easement
would implement all preservation and
public recreational goals for the site in
question, subject to the approval of the
City Council. This easement may apply
to all or a portion of a single parcel if the
portion subject to the easement is at
least one acre in size . If a
park/greenway TDR sending site is
secured by easement rather than City
ownership, the easement must
permanently prohibit all residential
development, must preclude any
improvements that would impede site
use for public purposes, and must
specify that all other uses and activities
are controlled by the standards of the
T2 zone for parcels within this district or
the standards of the AG-1 district for
parcels outside this district.
D. TDR Allocation
1. Open space TDR sending sites: Upon
recordation of an approved
conservation easement, the Director
must deduct the area of land precluded
from development by preexisting
easements and issue TDRs to the
owners of open space TDR sending sites
using the following formula:
a. One TDR per one full acre of
unconstrained land .
b. Plus one TDR per 4 full acres of
constrained land .
c. Plus one TDR per each full 5 acres of
land subtotaled under sentences a
and b above in excess of 5 acres .
2. Park/greenway TDR sending sites:
Upon title transfer or recordation of an
approved public access easement, the

7-70
Director must deduct the area of land
precluded from development by
preexisting easements and iss ue TDRs
to the owners of park/greenway TDR
sending sites using the following two -
step process.
Step One : calculate the total number of
TDRs produced by sentences a through
c below:
a. One TDR per one full acre of
unconstrained land.
b. Plus one TDR per 4 full acre s of
constrained land .
c. Plus one TDR per each full 5 acres of
land subtotaled under sentences a
and c above in excess of 5 acres .
Step Two :
Multiply the total from Step One by a
factor of 1.25 .
3 . Civic space TDR sending sites : Upon
title transfer or recordation of an
approved public access easement , the
Director must deduct the area of land
precluded from development by
preexisting easements and issue TDRs
to the owners of park/greenway TDR
sending sites designated as suitable for
civic spaces in an adopted plan or code
using the follow i ng two -step process .
Step One:
Calculate the total number of TDRs
produced by sentences a through c
below:
a. One TDR per one full acre of
unconstrained land .
b. Plus one TDR per 4 full acres of
constrained land .
c. Plus one TDR per each full 5 acres of
land subtotaled under sentences a
and c above in excess of 5 acres.
Step Two :
Multiply the total from Step One by a
factor of 1.5 .
E. TOR Transfers
The Director must establish and administer
a process for documenting and monitoring
t he issuance , transfer , and permanent
extinguishment ofTDRs when they are used
t o increase density in a TDR receiving site
development. TDR sending site property
owners who are issued TDRs may retain
t hem, t ransfer them directly to TDR
receiving site developers or transfer them
t o intermediaries who may also retain them
or transfer them to TDR receiving site
developers . The City may , but is not
obligated to buy, hold , and resell TDRs. The
City may also sever TDRs from land that it
buys after the effective date of this
ordinance for parks and greenways and sell
t hese TDRs for use in TDR receiving site
developments. The price paid for TDRs is
determined by negotiation between TDR
buyers and sellers .
F. TOR Receiving Sites
TDRs may be transferred to the TDR
rece iving sites designated by this Article 7B
and any additional TDR receiving sites
designated by the City. Parcels located
w ithin the Maximum Two Story Height Zone
must not serve as TDR receiving sites under
ei t her of the following conditions:
1. The parcel is located north of the
centerline of Bethany Bend as depicted
on the regulating plan ; or
Unified Development Code I City of Milton
TextAmendmentRZ25-07 APPENDIX "A"
2. The parcel is adjacent to property that
is located in the T-2 zone, located in the
AG -1 district, or zoned for or developed
with a single -family dwelling unit. TDR
receiving site owners can build at or
below the base densities established by
code without any use of TDRs.
However, owners who choose to do so
may exceed the base densities and
achieve the established maximum
densities at the transfer ratio set forth
in paragraph G immediately below .
G. TOR Transfer Ratio
Pursuant to this co Article 7B, developers of
projects on TDR receiving sites may use the
TD Rs to exceed base densities and achieve
the maximum code -allowed density at the
transfer ratio of four building units per full
TDR. Building units must be exchanged for
functions as set forth in Sec. 7B .1.6 .E.
H. Unified Sending/Receiving Site
A TDR sending site and a TDR receiving site
may occur on a single parcel if the
respective portions of the parcel meet all
criteria. TD Rs from the sending site portion
of the parcel must be allocated using the
formula provided in Sec. 7B.1.7 .D, except
TDRs must not be granted open space and
greenway dedications that are required as
a condition of site development. TD Rs from
the TDR sending site portion of the parcel
may be transferred to the TDR receiving site
portion of the parcel, transferred to a
separate TDR receiving site or to any
combination of on -site and off-site TDR
receiving sites.
I. Compliance Requirements
1. When the use of TDR results in divisions
of land, TDR compliance must occur
before final subdivision map approval.

This table approximates the location of the structure relative to the boundaries of each individual lot,
establishing suitable basic building types for each Transect Zone. Adjustments may be permitted by the
Director based on Sec. 7B.3.8.A. for buildings adjacent to a Linear Park.
a. Edgeyard: A building that occupies the center of its lot with setbacks on all
sides. This is the least urban of types as the front yard sets it back from the
frontage, while the side yards weaken the spatial definition of the public
thoroughfare space . The front yard is intended to be visually continuous with
the yards of adjacent buildings. The rear yard can be secured for privacy by
fences and a well placed backbuilding and/or outbui lding.
b. Sideyard: A building that occ upies one side of the lot with the setback to
the other side. A shallow frontage setback defines a more urban condition . If the
adjacent building is similar with a blank side wall, the yard can be quite private.
This type permits systematic climatic orientation in response to the sun or the
breeze . Energy costs, and somet imes noise, are reduced by sharing a party wall
in this disposition.
c. Rearyard : A building that occ upies the full frontage, leaving the rear of the
lot as the sole yard. This is a very urban type as the continuous facade steadily
defines the public thoroughfare . The rear elevations may be articulated for
functional purposes. In its residential form , this type is the townhouse. For its
commerc ial form, the rear yard can accommodate substantial parking. •--·--·-
d. Courtyard : A building that occupies the boundaries of its lot while
internally defining one or more private patios. This is the most urban of types,
as it is able to shield the private rea lm from all sides while strongly defining t he
public thoroughfare. Because of its ability to accommodate incompatible
activities, masking them from all sides , it is recommended for workshops,
lodging and schools. The high sec urity provided by the continuous enclosure is
useful for crime-prone areas .
