Request for Proposals September 9, 2019 Transferable Development Rights Spanish Fork City recently completed a vision plan for an area known as The River Bottoms. The plan was created to identify the community’s land use vision for this area which is in Spanish Fork City’s Annexation Policy but is mostly still in unincorporated Utah County.

The plan can be found on the City’s website at: https://www.spanishfork.org/departments/community_development/planning/riverbottoms/index.php

The plan describes multiple land use scenarios that utilize Transferable Development Rights (TDRs) to accomplish particular visions. Spanish Fork City is now soliciting proposals from qualified consultants to further investigate the prospect of creating a TDR program. Candidates with experience in public outreach, land use planning, TDR programs and market analysis are preferred. Proposals should include the following: Cover Letter.

A description of relevant experience of all involved staff, examples of finished projects may also be submitted. Process.
