commissioners to air Steve Stuart’s Clark County commissioner Steve Stuart has proposed that Clark County follow guidelines of a Transfer of Development Rights program in force in several Washington counties that gives property owners the right to use, build on, or transfer or sell development rights to a third party. The TDR program would provide fungible value to agricultural property that is otherwise not developable. The county’s newly adopted Comprehensive Growth Management Program created 12,023 acres of property into revised growth management boundaries, including 4,218 acres zoned for agricultural uses. County commissioners are holding a hearing on the proposal at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 5. Jewish writer
