To whom it may concern:

Thank you for the opportunity to provide brief comments to your AB
32 Scoping Plan update.  

I would like to encourage you to continue to pursue the idea put
forth in your workshop document “Potential State-Level Strategies
to Advance Sustainable, Equitable Communities and Reduce Vehicle
Miles of Travel (VMT),” which suggested:

“Encouraging regional Transfer of Development Rights programs to
allow owners of natural and working lands to sell their development
rights to developers who can use those rights to add additional
density to development projects in preferred infill areas”
 
For the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District, which holds over
62,000 acres of open space – including agriculture holdings - in
and around Silicon Valley, this might provide a win-win opportunity
to promote appropriate density in sustainable, transit-accessible
areas and potentially generate funds for us to acquire and preserve
more open space land, as well as enhance our conservation efforts.


We look forward to working with you as we continue to pursue our
vital greenhouse reduction goals.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely, 

Joshua Hugg
Legislative/External Affairs Specialist
Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District
