What is growth allocation and how do I obtain it?
Growth Allocation is a process whereby local jurisdictions are provided with some additional growth potential beyond that permitted within the three land management categories. Each jurisdiction has been allotted a finite number of acres to be used as growth allocation to reclassify land from RCA to LDA or IDA and from LDA to IDA. You can apply for growth allocation at your local planning and zoning office if you wish to develop your property in a manner which exceeds that allowed under its current land use designation. Award of growth allocation by your jurisdiction is subject to Critical Area Commission approval.
