A. If a transfer of development rights is completed pursuant to this chapter, all future land use decisions, such as rezonings, amendments or updates to the comprehensive plan, specific plans, variances or other actions that change the development potential of a sending property or receiving property by the County shall be consistent with the intent of the transfer.
B. No development approvals issued for a sending property shall have the effect of permitting development equivalent to or in replacement of any of the development rights previously severed. If a land use decision to allow additional development on the sending property is made following the severance and transfer of development rights, additional development shall be permitted only on those portions of the parcel not subject to the restrictive covenant(s), and the amount of development possible on the property shall be reduced below the amount that would otherwise be available by the amount of any development rights previously severed from the property.
C. No land use decision made after the approval of a transfer of a development right shall affect the owner's right to that transferred development right. For example, if (a) a property is approved for six dwelling units without the use of development rights and for seven dwelling units if a development right is acquired, and (b) the owner has acquired a development right and a development plan for seven dwelling units has been approved, but (c) a later land use decision reduces potential development to three dwelling units without development rights, then (d) the parcel shall still be permitted one additional dwelling unit, for a total of four dwelling units, through the use of the acquired development right.
