What are Priority Development Areas?
These are areas that are appropriate for increased development or redevelopment due to several factors including good transportation access, available infrastructure
(primarily water and sewer), an absence of environmental constraints, and local support. PDAs can range in
size from a single parcel to many acres. Potential development ranges from small-scale infill to large mixed-use
projects. Town and village centers, Chapter 40R Districts, and proposed station sites are examples of PDAs.
What are Priority Protection Areas?
These are areas that are important to protect due to the
presence of significant natural and cultural resources
including endangered species habitats, areas critical
to water supply, scenic vistas, and farms. Like PDAs,
the protection areas can vary greatly in size. Some sites
could be candidates for protection through acquisition
or with conservation restrictions and others are appropriate for limited development that is compatible with
the resources present.
