1) The City or County (depending
on location of property) and TRPA
will determine if it is a "legal"
property; then the owner could come
to the District, and staff would
authorize the transfer. These
would be total sewer units from
one property to another. This
type of transfer would be outside
the TRPA allocation.
COMMENTS FROM AUDIENCE

2) City representatives said if a
unit has been added under a change-
in-use situation, then they did not
consider it eligible for transfer.
In this case, the owner would have
to come to the District Board for
consideration of the transfer.
3) Ail partial transfers will have
to come before the District Board
for approval.
4) TRPA and the City would like the

(3) different types of transfers:

velopment, and;
