As applied by the official maps (Part III of the land use element), a TDCR combining designation is used to identify sites where a recorded parcel or final map used transferred development credits to achieve a higher density than what would otherwise be allowed for the applicable land use category.
A TDCR combining designation may also be used to describe community-based TDC programs defined in framework for planning, Part I of the land use element. Community-based TDC program areas may not involve a recorded parcel or final map. The geographic boundaries of an individual community-based program area are described in the combining designations chapter of each area plan. The specific requirements and conditions of each community-based TDC program area can be found in the planning area standards chapter of each area plan. (Ord. 2778 § 5 (part), 1996)
