PURPOSE:
" The bylaw is intended to preserve land for uses other than residential and commercial development at no cost to the Town or the landowner. The rights to develop a particular parcel would be transferred to another parcel so that the landowner would achieve the same outcome as if they developed the preserved parcel. The amendment provides more flexibility for preserving sensitive environmental land, acquiring land for municipal purposes, and other uses besides single family residential
development."
