Staff contact: Caroline Booth B. Gas Well Inspection Program Update — Modern Geosciences began working on the proposed gas well inspection program on Oct. 26, 2017, following approval of the ordinance presented to the City Council on Oct. 24, 2017. From Oct. 26 through Dec. 11,Modern Geosciences predominantly focused on completing Task 1 of the proposal. This task involved a project kickoff meeting, several project meetings for data exchange, geodatabase development, creation of GIS information specific to each padsite and major padsite equipment, and prioritization of pad sites. The middle to later part of December was devoted to contacting operators to schedule inspections, completing inspections, and refining the reporting format. City staff also started a project to make modifications to the Gas Wells Inspections page on the City's website so reports can be displayed during this timeframe. This project is expected to be completed in the next couple weeks. Modern Geosciences has inspected 26 wells to date, and have either scheduled or are finalizing schedules with operators to inspect 164 wells in February to early March. Staff contact: Ken Banks C. Water Leak at Carroll Blvd. & Ea lg e Dr. —Water Distribution staff responded to a leak at the intersection of Carroll Blvd. and Eagle Dr. early last Saturday morning, Jan. 20. Water was surfacing throughout the entire intersection, indicating there was likely a large leak on the 12"water main that crosses Carroll. Staff started repairs that morning after locating other utilities in the area and exposed the water main on the east side of Carroll Blvd. in the northbound lanes. Once exposed, the line did not have any leaks, indicating that the leak was likely farther to the west. Staff started tracking the leak in this direction and secured the services of a barricade company to set up traffic control for crew and traffic safety. An abandoned sewer line was discovered at this point, which further complicated the search for the leak since the leaking water was running through this line,giving a false indication of where the actual leak was occurring. Additional locate work was completed, and the leak was finally discovered on Sunday afternoon, after 28 hours of searching. The leak was repaired and concrete services were secured for early Monday morning. The concrete was restored on Monday and the intersection was opened on Tuesday morning. The crews did an enormous amount of work over a very short timeframe, with some working through the night, to get this leak and several others resolved over the weekend. Special thanks to crew members Kennedy Dean, Nathan Outtrim, Derrick Penno, John Bridges, James Gideon, Cole Thomas, Bryan Kirby, Jake Gray, field service supervisors Casey Bowles and Michael Vickery, and distribution manager Kent Conkle for the great job getting these leaks repaired. Staff contact: Ken Banks D. CHW Committee Meeting Recap — A meeting of the City Hall West Steering Committee was held on Monday, Jan. 22. Craig Melde, principal architect for Architexas, presented historical information on the building and facilitated a discussion of the goals and possible future uses for the building to be studied. The Committee discussed overarching goals for the rehabilitation of the building, including: • Preserve/restore the exterior • Adapt for community/public use • Achieve State and Federal standards • Rehabilitate significant character defining spaces • Meet or exceed high environmental and energy efficiency • Integrate/connect to downtown district • Youth friendly • Civic pride • Income producing to offset costs The Committee discussed holding a minimum of one public forum to present information to citizens about the building and receive input.Also, it was requested that staff present options for the possibility to issue a request for proposals to determine if there are parties interested in assisting the City in this project. The next committee meeting will be held on Monday,Feb. 19 at 5:30 p.m. in the Civic Center Conference Room. Staff contact: Mark Nelson E. Crack Sealing—American Pavement Solution,a contractor for the City,will begin crack sealing City streets next week. Crack seal is a cost effective preventative maintenance tool used to extend the life of the pavement by three to five years. During the process, three crews will be working at the same time in different locations. During work, residential streets will remain open and will take one day or less to complete. Thoroughfares and large collector roads will have temporary lane closures and will take one to two weeks to complete.Door hangers will be distributed to all impacted residences, and electronic signs will be placed to notify motorists prior to the work. All streets are expected to be completed within four to six weeks. Attached is a map of the impacted streets for your reference. Staff contact: Robbin Webber F. BNSF Railroad Crossing at S. Bonnie Brae — Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF)Railroad will be repairing the railroad crossing on S. Bonnie Brae St.near the intersection with Highway 377. This crossing will be closed from 9 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 3 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 4. The BNSF traffic control contractor will be placing a digital message board at the crossing prior to the repairs to notify residents and motorists. Staff contact: Stuart Birdseye G. Union Pacific Railroad Crossing at Sycamore St. — In early Jan. 2018, City staff hosted a conference call with representatives from Union Pacific Railroad(UPRR) and the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) to discuss needed improvements at the railroad crossings at Sycamore St. (between Bell Ave. and the DCTA Transit Center). UPRR representatives indicated that if the improvements were to proceed,the construction of the crossings would need to be split 50150 between the City and UPRR. According to UPRR, the design and the re-construction estimates will be provided at the end of February. Once the design documents are received and reviewed, the funding is allocated, and the project is approved,the construction period would last 120-180 days and construction would be managed by UPRR. Staff contact: Mario Canizares H. Yellow Light Intervals at Intersections with Red Light Cameras —A request was made by City Council to examine adding 1 second to the yellow light intervals to the signals designated in the City's Red Light Camera Program. Previously, City staff studied a similar request in late 2014. Staff developed a response in early 2015 through an Informal Staff Report which is attached. The 2015 yellow light change interval study is still consistent with the guidelines and methodology described in the current Federal and State mandated Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and the Institute of Transportation Engineers' (ITE) Traffic Engineering Handbook. Typically, yellow change intervals at all signalized intersections in the City (including red light camera locations)are calculated using a conservative approach that results in higher yellow time. Based on the recent request, the existing yellow change intervals at all red light camera locations were reviewed by traffic operations staff and were determined to be adequate for safe operation of vehicles through these intersections. As such, increasing yellow change interval at these locations is not recommended. It should be noted that if the yellow change interval is increased, it may encourage drivers to use a portion of yellow time as an extension of green time. This will result in higher number of vehicles traversing through the intersection during the yellow change interval, thus creating unsafe conditions. Also, increasing the yellow change interval will increase delay at each intersection, thus exacerbating the traffic congestion and driver frustration at each location. Staff contact: Mario Canizares I. Point in Time Count — The annual Point-In-Time (PIT) Count was conducted Thursday, Jan. 25. More than 80 volunteers showed up and conducted surveys throughout the day in two-hour shifts from about 4 a.m. to 10 p.m. In addition, organizers collected and distributed about 250 $5.00 gift cards and 200 DCTA transportation passes worth about$1.50 each. The community contribution is over $10,000 in volunteer time and donations for the 2018 PIT Count. This year was the first year that the entire count was done through smart devices using the Counting US mobile application (http://pointintime.info/countingus- mobile-qpp/ . While paper surveys have been used in the past, the switch to the app provided important benefits, including the ability to geographically identify the location of the person surveyed and real time data reporting as the surveys were submitted.As a result,the organizers were able to review initial results in real time as the day progressed. NBC5 report Seth Voorhees covered the event, Here is a link to the story: Denton County's Annual Homeless Population Count Determines Funding for Homeless Services. There were just over 300 surveys collected. As the data is analyzed, there will be data quality checks to remove duplications and any ineligible surveys before a final report is issued, so it is expected that the count will come in lower than the first tally of surveys collected. Initial results do reflect a higher number of people experiencing homelessness since the 2017 count, including a slight increase in veteran and chronically homeless persons. The final report should be completed by the Texas Homeless Network and distributed to the community in early spring. Staff contact: Dani Shaw J. DDC Clarion Assessment Memo—Please see attached a copy of Clarion's DDC Update Assessment Memo which provides a summary of the project background, project themes developed for the DDC rewrite after numerous meetings and interviews with project stakeholders, and an overview of Clarion's recommended proposed changes. It is anticipated that public drafts of the Administrative Procedures and Development Standards will be completed and made available in early February, with the public draft of the Consolidated Denton Development Code Draft made available for review and comment sometime in late March. Staff has distributed this memo to the development community and informed them that additional communications will be forthcoming, including sharing the public drafts and informing them when presentations and stakeholder meetings will be held to provide an overview of the proposed changes. The document has also been posted to the DDC webpage. Staff contact: Scott McDonald K. Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinator— The following is a status update to provide clarification on filling some vacancies in the Capital Projects Department. The vacant Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinator position was moved to the Capital Projects Department and will report to Pritam Deshmukh,Traffic Engineer. Under this structure, the position will be more directly linked with our engineering and street maintenance staff, which should greatly enhance project coordination and delivery. In regards to filling the vacancy, the position will continue to be titled Bike/Ped Coordinator and the recruitment is currently underway through the City's Human Resources Department. The recruitment should take a few weeks and a person should be hired in the March/April timeframe. To provide continuity of operations, we are developing a 60-90 day contract with engineering firm Kimley Horn to provide project management for the current sidewalk projects along Mulberry St. at Carroll Blvd., Congress St. at Carroll Blvd., Oakland St. at E. Oak St., and City Hall West. These projects will be completed by the end of February. Staff is also working with Communications to be sure that all upcoming special programs and activities are planned and communicated. The City is also in the process of recruiting a Traffic Engineer that will also report to Mr. Deshmukh. This position fills the vacancy of an employee that recently retired.This vacancy allowed staff to work with CMO on reclassifying the vacancy to a Traffic Engineer to assist in meeting the many traffic demands in Denton. This recruitment will be posted the week of Jan. 29 and should be filled in the March/April timeframe. Staff contact: Mario Canizares L. Press Release Archive — The Public Affairs department has developed a press release archive to maintain a central repository of all City press releases.Currently, the archive contains 2017 and 2018 general City press releases. Due to staff turnover in the PIO positions, staff is conducting a review to ensure that the 2017 archive is complete. Going forward, all press releases will be saved in the archive so that when press release content rolls off the City's main news webpage, it is still available for anyone who needs to view older information. The archive is available through the City's website by going to the "News & Events" page and clicking on the icon for"Press Release Archive." Staff contact: Jessica Rogers M. DTV Dyno Dirt Spot—DTV has worked together with Beneficial Reuse to create a new Dyno Dirt spot as part of the 2018 marketing campaign. In a recent study about TV commercials and how the good ones stand out from the pack, "humor" was definitely the most-oft used word to describe what makes a spot memorable. The other word that came up a lot was "jingle."With that in mind,DTV produced a new,engaging,and funny 30 second spot for the City's Beneficial Reuse division that highlights the benefits of Dyno Dirt, one of the City's most popular programs. You can watch the new Dyno Dirt spot through this link: https://youtu.be/K51L459Px60. We will begin rolling this spot out across many platforms immediately, including through our social media channels and television. Staff contact: Billy Matthews N. City Receives StormReady Renewal and Weather-Ready Nation Ambassador Designation— The City of Denton received their fifth StormReady renewal at the quarterly Denton Emergency Preparedness Advisory Council (DEPAC) meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 24, at Central Fire Station. The presentation was made by Mark Fox, Chief Warning and Coordination Meteorologist with the National Weather Service. StormReady uses a grassroots approach to help communities develop plans to handle all types of severe weather. The program encourages communities to take a new, proactive approach to improving local hazardous weather operations by providing emergency managers with clear-cut guidelines on how to improve their hazardous weather operations. To be officially StormReady, a community must: • Establish a 24-hour warning point and emergency operations center • Have more than one way to receive severe weather warnings and forecasts and to alert the public • Create a system that monitors weather conditions locally • Promote the importance of public readiness through community seminars • Develop a formal hazardous weather plan, which includes training severe weather spotters and holding emergency exercises. The Weather-Ready Nation AmbassadorTM initiative is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) effort to formally recognize NOAA partners who are improving the nation's readiness, responsiveness, and overall resilience against extreme weather, water, and climate events. As a WRN Ambassador, partners commit to working with NOAA and other Ambassadors to strengthen national resilience against extreme weather. In effect, the WRN Ambassador initiative helps unify the efforts across government, non-profits, academia, and private industry toward making the nation more ready, responsive, and resilient against extreme environmental hazards. Weather-Ready Nation (WRN)is a strategic outcome where society's response should be equal to the risk from all extreme weather, water, and climate hazards.

Staff contact: Mike Penaluna O. Numbering System for Ordinances—At the Jan. 16 City Council meeting,Council Member Ryan noted that ordinance numbers were not the same as File ID numbers listed on the agendas. He asked if it was possible for the numbers to be the same in order to facilitate searching for documents. Staff has researched the suggestion and has determined that it would be feasible to assign the agenda File ID numbers to the ordinances and resolutions, thus providing a searchable link between the agenda and the approved documents. Staff will initiate the new numbering system effective Feb. 6, 2018. Staff contact: Jennifer Walters P. Downtown Mini Mall and Locust St. Sidewalk Update— Staff continues to assist the owners of the building at 108 N. Locust (the Downtown Mini Mall). Staff members from Fire, Economic Development, and Development Services (including Historic Preservation and Building Inspections) have been in contact with the owners and remain available to answer questions and guide the owners through whatever steps are required once a final decision regarding the structure is made and a permit application is filed. At this time, the sidewalk remains closed due to the fencing along the front fagade of the building on Locust St. Since the Denton Black Film Festival is this weekend, staff anticipates there will be an increase in both vehicle and pedestrian traffic downtown. To ensure the safety of both pedestrians and visitors, the right lane of Locust St. in this area will be closed starting Saturday, Jan. 27. Barricades will be put up to allow pedestrians a safe, protected area through which to walk. Staff contact: Mario Canizares Q. Tech Services Phishing Attack Update — On Jan. 24, the City experienced a phishing attack on our employees. The phishing attack originated from a local engineering firm's email account. Phishing attacks are typically fraudulent email messages appearing to come from legitimate enterprises. In this instance, employees were directed to a malicious website in an effort to divulge private information.As a result,the City's cyber incident response team was activated and Denton Police Department was notified. The City's cyber incident response team, in conjunction with our security management and threat intelligence vendor, found no breach of the internal network to include city applications and systems. As a precaution, email passwords were reset. Staff contact: Melissa Kraft III. Attachments A. Crack Sealing Map B. Clarion DDC Update Assessment Memo IV. Informal Staff Reports A.

CLARION Clarion Associates 303.830.2890 621 17th Street,Suite 2250 Denver,CO 80293 www.clarionassociates.com MEMORANDUM TO: Scott McDonald and Richard Cannone-City of Denton FROM: Matt Goebel,Jim Spung, and Tareq Wafaie-Clarion Associates DATE: January 19, 2018 RE: Denton DDC Update—Assessment Memo This memo provides a summary of issues to be addressed in the Denton Development (DDC) update project.The memo identifies high-level issues related to the DDC that were not addressed in the original assessment report created in 2013, and summarizes the proposed structure and contents of all major DDC chapters.The purpose of this memo also is to provide staff agencies and the public with an additional opportunity to provide input on the proposed DDC content and structure. PROJECT BACKGROUND INITIAL PROJECT(2013) The City of Denton began working with Clarion Associates in 2013 as part of a series of planning-related activities, including development of the Downtown Implementation Plan (DTIP) and the new Denton Plan 2030. While Denton Plan 2030 was being drafted,the city retained Clarion to assist with targeted updates of the Denton Development Code (DDC) in order to help lay a strong foundation for implementing the new citywide plan.The scoped DDC updates at that time included a comprehensive reorganization and reformatting of the document, as well as targeted substantive updates focused on immediate issues (primarily efficiency of the review process and removing barriers to infill and redevelopment). CURRENT SCOPE(2017) The Denton Plan 2030 project was (adopted in early 2015) and city leadership recognized the importance of aligning the DDC and other regulatory documents with the goals and objectives identified in the new Denton Plan 2030.The scope of the DDC rewrite project was expanded to look comprehensively at the entire code, rather than only the specific targeted updates identified in the initial scope. To help inform this new expanded scope,the Clarion team met with city staff and members of the community during a series of meetings and stakeholder interviews.Those interviewed included city staff, members of the City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission, and various stakeholders in the development process (e.g., developers, business owners, neighborhood group representatives, and development professionals such as engineers and planners). Planning I Zoning&Land Use I Real Estate I Sustainability&Resiliency Memo-Denton Development Code Update-Assessment Memo,p.2 As of December 2017, the revised scope included a four-part drafting process: 1. Districts and Uses (Module 1)—Public Draft delivered in May 2017 2. Administration and Procedures (Module 2)—Staff Draft delivered in September 2017 3. Development Standards Module (Module 3) 4. Consolidated Draft DDC Those tasks are underway,with the first module drafted and presented to the public, and portions of the second and third modules underway in the drafting process. A consolidated draft of the entire new draft DDC is scheduled to be ready by late spring 2018. PROJECT THEMES These outreach efforts discussed above, which included numerous meetings and interviews with project stakeholders, has helped inform the development of a set of new common themes for the DDC rewrite project: 1. Focus on the Customer: Establish development processes and procedures that are predictable, consistent, and efficient. Development Services serves a diverse customer base; it consists of its residents, business owners, contractors, develops and those seeking to locate in Denton. 2. Build a Strong Foundation: Simplify the DDC to better align with Texas state statutes, particularly procedures. 3. Tailor Development Standards to Specific Context and Area: Move away from a one-size-fits-all approach toward a more tailored code that provides different standards for different character areas. Place focus on a performance-based code rather than a prescriptive code. 4. Create New Tools to Provide Flexibility: Build flexibility into all areas of the DDC and empower staff with more decision-making power to apply the code to unique circumstances, subject to more clearly defined standards. 5. Protect Neighborhoods: Introduce standards that help protect established and historic neighborhoods, particularly in transition areas near downtown, universities, and other major institutional uses. 6. Coordinate Efforts: Coordinate the DDC rewrite project with other related City of Denton efforts, including recent and ongoing updates to criteria manuals and drafting of new ordinances. FOCUS ON THE CUSTOMER Customer service is the heartbeat of successful local governance. With good customer service, local governments build relationships with members of the community and provide businesses and residents with a sense of ownership of the city's plans, policies, and regulations. Without quality customer service, tensions run high and the community begins to mistrust their government. Development Services has made customer service the highest priority. An ideal development review process is one that is predictable and provides clear expectations to the applicant, which the staff can administer consistently with clear direction, and where approvals of development applications result in the desired built environment consistent with the community's long- range planning policies. In our experience, most developers prefer to build in communities where the Memo-Denton Development Code Update-Assessment Memo,p.3 development review process is predictable and consistent, even if the process takes time. The development process should be viewed as a partnership between the city and its residents and business community. Several in the development community believe the City of Denton has earned a poor reputation due to a broken development review process and general lack of customer service. Staff should partner with applicants to lead them through the development review process, rather than simply advising applicants to follow the provisions of the DDC.The shared sentiment among several stakeholders is that the code inspectors are inconsistent with their comments. In some cases, different inspectors are making different comments on the same development projects. Stakeholders also noted that the DDC lacks the clarity needed to avoid constant interpretation and negotiation. Frustrations with the development review process may be generally categorized as follows: • Conflicting and outdated information in the DDC and criterial manuals; • Concerns with the development review process itself; • Lack of customer service; and • Inadequate interdepartmental coordination. Development Services leadership is currently analyzing and implementing improvements to the permit shop in Denton, a one-stop shop where applicants can gather information, submit applications, and receive over-the-counter approvals.These efforts will help to alleviate some of the immediate concerns raised by the development community related to the broken development review process. BUILD A STRONG FOUNDATION Texas state statutes establish the minimum procedural processes by which local governments can approve certain land development projects. Over the years, Denton has adopted local standards that in some cases are more stringent than what the minimum state law requires. For example, Denton currently requires all development projects that involve public infrastructure improvements to have a three-party agreement in place prior to issuing project permits. Establishing such an agreement can introduce unnecessary project delays and consume staff time and resources.This requirement is not mandated by Texas law and could be changed to a surety bond system, which is more common for local governments. Generally, City leadership has suggested that any unnecessary procedural requirements be identified and removed from the DDC to allow a more, predicable, streamlined, and efficient process. In cases where the state grants municipalities the authority to impose additional standards (or to provide flexibility) beyond the minimums prescribed, Clarion will recommend standards based on our national experience and our work with Texas communities. TAILOR DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS TO SPECIFIC CONTEXTAND AREA Like much of the Dallas Metroplex, Denton has experienced rapid growth in the past 20 years.This growth has diversified the built form and context of development in Denton.The city includes areas of widely varying physical character, including the historic downtown core, established historic neighborhoods, newer suburban-style subdivisions, auto-oriented commercial centers, large-scale industrial projects, and agricultural land uses. However,the existing DDC generally has a uniform set of standards that apply to these different types of places in the same manner. A one-size-fits-all approach to development standards is particularly challenging because of the broad range of land use patterns established in Denton. For example, minimum parking requirements may be Memo-Denton Development Code Update-Assessment Memo,p.4 lower in a pedestrian-oriented environment like downtown, but auto-oriented environments like Rayzor Ranch or the Golden Triangle may see more land dedicated to parking. Also,there is only one set of landscaping standards,for instance—yet landscaping tools that are appropriate in the downtown may be quite different than those suited to a suburban commercial center. Generally, infill and redevelopment projects present different and unique challenges that may not be common with greenfield development. While it is important to establish baseline standards for the entire city, it is also important to recognize different character areas and to allow a degree of flexibility in the DDC to allow city staff and the development community to find reasonable solutions to unique challenges. CREATE NEW TOOLS TO PROVIDE FLEXIBILITY Effective codes set baseline minimum standards, but they must not be so strict that they inhibit creativity by the private sector and stifle growth.Tools are needed to give planners and city officials flexibility in how they apply the code and adapt it to each unique set of circumstances. The current DDC has a tool in place intended to provide flexibility, but has not been effective in achieving the desired outcome.The Alternative Development Plan (ADP) provides the option to deviate from design criteria through a discretionary Planning and Zoning Commission procedure. It was established as a means to provide greater flexibility to developers when the DDC was adopted in 2002, and is used in a significant number of projects today. However, a significant number of stakeholders expressed concerns with the ADP process, stating that it has turned into simply a mechanism to waive the code and that ADPs are typically approved. Developers also argue that it is unpredictable. Planning staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission observe that it more closely represents a variance process. Others note that the trade-offs negotiated through this process rarely mitigate the issues raised, and that they are often arbitrary. While it is important to ensure that a formal procedure for administrative waivers in place, it is equally important to have built-in mechanisms throughout the DDC that provide developers with options and flexibility by-right. Moving forward,we recommend replacing the ADP process with new tools that provide flexibility but also help address some of the concerns noted above. Specifically, we recommend introducing an administrative adjustment tool to allow staff the ability to approve minor deviations from certain numeric standards where additional flexibility is needed but the overall intent of the code is still met. The new DDC will include such a tool for discussion purposes. Other tools for flexibility may include more menu-based standards, such as a potential landscaping point system, enhancing the intent of the code through performance options rather than prescriptive means. PROTECT NEIGHBORHOODS Allowing and promoting infill and redevelopment requires a delicate balance between encouraging economic development within the city while maintaining the fabric of existing and surrounding neighborhoods.Typical concerns from neighborhoods in or near commercial districts include parking and loading; pedestrian safety and overall walkability;traffic generation; aesthetic value of new development; scale of new development; and nuisance pollutants from light, air, and noise. A key goal in the DDC update will be developing tools where possible to help protect established neighborhoods and historic districts from the impacts of infill projects while not stifling new growth altogether, including increased notification requirements and required pre-application neighborhood compatibility meetings for major application types or improvements. Many concerns from the neighborhoods revolve around traffic and parking. Neighborhood groups in Denton expressed interest in Memo-Denton Development Code Update-Assessment Memo,p.5 enhancing partnerships with local developers and the universities to approach infill and redevelopment from common ground. They want to see investment, redevelopment, and mixed-use transition gradually and positively into residential districts. However, protecting the long-standing neighborhoods from the adverse impacts of new development is paramount. SYNCRONIZE REGULATORYTOOLS AND IMPROVE INTERNAL PROCESSES Managing ongoing updates and changes to local government regulations can be challenging, especially when those changes are happening simultaneously across several departments. It is critical that regulatory standards and information provided to the public by all city departments be consistent and that communication and coordination among departments effective.The following paragraphs describe how coordinating efforts among departments will improve the efficient administration of the new DDC. Criteria Manual Updates Denton has adopted several criteria manuals that contain technical design and engineering standards, much of which is too detailed to include in the DDC.There are multiple references to these design criteria manuals in the current DDC. For example, Section 35.21.6 refers users to the Water and Wastewater Design Criteria Manual for details related to sanitary sewer system design. Often,the regulations stated in the design criteria manuals are identical to or overlap with the regulations within the DDC,which can lead to inconsistencies when one ordinance or manual is amended without amending the other.These provisions will be removed from the DDC and included in the appropriate criteria manuals. Additionally,the criteria manuals will have an annual date for effective updates.This process will create a means for community input, adoption, and an effective date,thus more predictable. City departments are currently in the process of, or have recently completed, updates to their respective criteria manual.To ensure consistency among city departments, it is important that ongoing efforts to update existing ordinances, criteria manuals, and other documents are coordinated. Ordinance Updates Denton staff is currently drafting several ordinance updates that impact development in Denton, including a tree ordinance, an environmentally sensitive areas ordinance, and the historic preservation ordinance. City staff and the Clarion team will need to coordinate the integration of these updates into the larger DDC document. For example,the historic preservation ordinance could be incorporated as its own subchapter, or its content could be weaved into existing sections of the DDC. Having a subchapter dedicated to historic preservation would allow users to gather information from one place,while integrating the standards throughout the DDC would allow users to see how historic preservation ties into several elements of development.This should be discussed in greater detail as these updates near adoption. Additionally,the ordinances should be reviewed alongside the new DDC to ensure there are no inconsistent practices, policies, or standards that would cause conflicts or confusion. Interdepartmental Coordination Several stakeholders have expressed concern regarding a general lack of interdepartmental coordination and communication in Denton. Each department tends to work independently from each other when reviewing submitted applications and requests.This break-down in interdepartmental communication coupled with vague and sometimes contradictory DDC requirements and overlapping standards in department criteria manuals, has created a recipe for a frustrating development review process for both staff and the applicant. Establishing clear and objective standards in the DDC that minimize the need for interpretation by staff will help minimize inconsistent and contradictory plan review comments among plans examiners; however,current internal procedures and processes are under review to ensure interdepartmental coordination with projects. Memo-Denton Development Code Update-Assessment Memo,p.6 ANNOTATED OUTLINE OF NEW DDC This section provides an overview of our recommendations for the proposed structure and general content of the new DDC and is intended to provide a roadmap for organizing and drafting updates to the DDC. It also serves as a framework for further discussions with the city about key development regulation issues. In several places, we have noted "further discussion"to flag specific topics. SUBCHAPTER 1: GENERAL STANDARDS This subchapter includes the provisions that apply to the entire Code. Major elements include: • Overall DDC purpose and intent. • Applicability and jurisdiction of the DDC. • Nonconformities (including nonconforming lots, uses, and structures). o Further discussion:To what extent should nonconformity provisions be amended, expanded, or relocated? o Further discussion: Discuss whether or not nonconforming signs should be addressed in the DDC or remain in the Code of Ordinances, Section 33.10. • Enforcement procedures and penalties. • Standards addressing issues related to the transition from the current DDC to the new DDC. Major Proposed Changes • Consider updates to thresholds for when certain development standards apply to redevelopment of nonconforming properties. • Eliminate the special exceptions procedure and any other procedure not supported by an authorizing ordinance or state statute. SUBCHAPTER 2:ADMINISTRATION & PROCEDURES This subchapter describes the process for reviewing and approving development applications in Denton. Content will draw in part from the existing Subchapter 3, Procedures, and Subchapter 4, Boards, Commissions, and Committees. Major elements include: • Descriptions of review and decision-making bodies—including their composition and procedural operations. • Descriptions of application types—including review procedures required, public notice requirements, and the review and decision-making authorities associated with each. • Common review procedures that apply to most development application types. • Application-specific procedures. • Increased notification requirements and neighborhood compatibility meetings for specific application types or improvements. • To replace the current Alternative Development Plan process, introduce a new procedure to authorize decision-makers to make specific minor adjustments to numeric code standards when certain criteria are satisfied. Memo-Denton Development Code Update-Assessment Memo,p.7 • Relocate historic preservation-related procedures to Subchapter 4, Overlay and Historic Districts,which will carry forward the updated preservation ordinance (currently in review). • Further discussion: o Discuss with City Attorney's Office whether or not the special exception procedure should be carried forward and the applicability and/or the necessity of that tool. Major Proposed Changes • Generally, revise procedural standards to align with the requirements in the Texas Local Government Code. Remove unnecessary procedural steps not required by TLGC. • Avoid repetition and eliminate conflicting information among different development application types. • Introduce common review procedures to establish a consistent and predictable review process for common applications. • Designate the "Director" as the authority of administrative decisions for the DDC. • Increase flexibility by providing staff with more administrative decision-making authority, within defined parameters, and under the direction of the Director. • Relocate site plan review procedures from Subchapters 13 and establish new thresholds for when a site plan review is required and the elements to be included. • Reconcile inconsistencies with design manuals, administrative manuals, and ongoing ordinance amendments being drafted by staff. • Convert the role of the DRC to that of a Development Advisory Committee (DAC). The following table summarizes the current draft of the proposed review procedures and approval bodies for application types in Denton.As the drafting continues, comments are welcome and encouraged on this proposed overall structure.

For those districts being carried forward,the subchapter will be based on the current Subchapter 7,Special Purpose and Overlay Districts. Memo-Denton Development Code Update-Assessment Memo,p.11 Major Proposed Changes • Carry forward and re-organize the content in the current overlay districts to match the structure and format of the new DDC as provided in the table above. • Fold in the historic district ordinance amendments currently underway by staff. SUBCHAPTER 5: USE REGULATIONS This subchapter includes standards regulating the use of land in Denton. Major elements include: • A consolidated table of permitted uses with levels of permission for each land use type in each base zoning district. • Use-specific standards for land use types that require special standards(called limitations in the current DDC). • Standards for accessory and temporary uses and structures, wireless telecommunication facilities, and gas well drilling and production. • Consider carrying forward the contents from Subchapter 6,Specific Uses; Subchapter 8, Group Homes; Subchapter 9, Manufactured Homes; Subchapter 10,Sexually-Oriented Businesses; and Subchapter 22, Gas Well Drilling and Production. Major Proposed Changes The Public Draft of Module 1 delivered to the City in May 2017 includes proposed changes to the DDC. The following is a summary of the key changes proposed in Module 1: • Create use categories and subcategories to organize specific use types in a logical way, making future land use determinations more streamlined. • Consolidate like land use types, eliminate archaic use types, and introduce new use types that will help implement the Denton Plan 2030. • Replace the current"limitation" system with cross-references to use-specific standards. • Update use-specific standards for existing and new use types to address potential land use impacts. • Define new multi-family dwelling types (triplex,fourplex, etc.)to encourage "missing middle" products and neighborhood compatibility. • Respect built conditions by ensuring the levels of permission in the table of permitted uses are appropriate for each zoning district and the built context. SUBCHAPTER 6: DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS This subchapter consolidates several current DDC subchapters that contain standards and regulations associated with physical layout and design of development. Major elements include standards for: site preparation and land-disturbance, environmentally sensitive areas, site drainage, access and circulation, off-street parking and loading, landscaping, tree preservation, buffering, fencing, site design, building design, exterior lighting, electric standards, water and wastewater, and any operational and maintenance standards as outlined in criteria manuals. Memo-Denton Development Code Update-Assessment Memo,p.12 Major Proposed Changes Generally • Tailor development standards for specific contexts and areas in Denton. • Review and update thresholds for redevelopment and what activities trigger compliance with specific sections of the DDC. • Relocate more technical material to an administrative manual or another criteria manual. • Reorganize the development standards subchapter, moving from broad standards related to site preparation and ending with more specific standards such as lighting and landscape design. • Consider elevated compatibility standards for neighborhood interface areas (historic and university areas). • Include more graphics and tables where possible to improve user-friendliness. • Integrate neighborhood protection standards throughout the DDC to prevent negative impacts of harmful influences such as abrupt contrasts of scale and intensity and incompatible land uses. • Relocate signage standards outside of the DDC to the Code of Ordinances. • Discuss whether there is existing capacity to administer and enforce new standards • Discuss whether standards should apply citywide, or only to certain types of developments or zoning districts. • Discuss if there are scenarios where these standards would not apply—e.g., infill and redevelopment sites. Land-Disturbing Activities • Overhaul the current Subchapter 18, Land Disturbing Activities, by relocating content related to procedures to Subchapter 2 and removing requirements from the DDC that are administered through a building permit or other criteria manual. Environmentally Sensitive Areas • Currently being drafted by staff; the adopted ordinance will be folded into the new DDC and replace current Subchapter 17, Environmentally Sensitive Area. Drainage Standards • Carry forward most of the standards from current Subchapter 19, Drainage Standards with no major substantive revisions. • Relocate content specific to subdivisions, procedures, or other topics to their corresponding section of the DDC. Landscaping,Screening, Buffering, and Fences • Introduce simple buffering standards to minimize impacts of incompatible land uses. • Introduce standards and/or incentives focused on water conservation and improving stormwater quality through low-impact landscape design and xeriscaping. • Develop landscaping standard options by which the Director is given authority to evaluate landscaping plans with more flexible standards. Memo-Denton Development Code Update-Assessment Memo,p.13 • Create standards addressing fencing materials and quality,fence height, and perimeter fencing associated with new development and redevelopment. • Fold new tree ordinance into the DDC that is currently being drafted by city staff. • Discuss if parking lot landscaping standards should be located in the parking section or with the landscaping standards. Access and Circulation • Update standards related to internal circulation, connections between developments, and multi-modal considerations on a site. • Relocate street design and vehicular circulation standards to the subdivision standards with a cross-reference as appropriate. • Consider carrying forward the contents from current Subchapter 20, Transportation. Parking and Loading • Review and update current parking minimums and maximums (or eliminate maximums for some uses) and establish a table of required parking ratios consistent with the new use table. • Introduce alternative parking standards for flexibility(credits for shared parking, off-site parking, parking proximate to transit, structured parking, carpool/vanpool parking, etc.). • Enhance parking lot location and design standards to emphasize walkability and multi-modal circulation in and around parking areas • Refine location of parking areas by zoning district, with stricter requirements in pedestrian- oriented mixed-use districts. • Update parking lot landscaping and screening standards to reflect best practices and low- impact development and stormwater management. • Consider carrying forward the contents from current Subchapter 14, Parking Standards. • Consider requirements for bicycle parking areas. Building and Site Design • Establish a distinct section within the DDC addressing site and building design. • Develop additional standards related to how buildings are situated on corners, and how large developments with three or more buildings shall organize units around a central courtyard, plaza, or other type of common open space. • Consider standards addressing the location and design of garages and carports to avoid the prominence of garages where appropriate (i.e., rear entry where alleys exist,front-loaded garage width maximums and setbacks, garage placement to maximize walkability, aesthetics, etc.). • Expanded and strengthen standards related to fagade articulation, breaking up planes, and roof form variation. • Improve fenestration requirements by customizing standards dependent on the type of building (e.g., mixed-use, multifamily) and the zoning district(e.g., nonresidential and mixed-use). Memo-Denton Development Code Update-Assessment Memo,p.14 • Enhance building design standards for duplexes. • Discuss what the desired level of quality for development is (industrial, commercial, mixed- use, downtown, multi-family, single family, etc.). • Discuss whether or not an exterior metal finish appropriate. If so, under what circumstances? • Consider carrying forward the contents from current Subchapter 13,Site Design Standards. Exterior Lighting • Expand the current minimal standards for light and glare found in Section 35.13.12. • Establish exterior lighting requirements including types of lighting, illumination requirements, and dimensional requirements for lighting. Electric Standards • Carry forward most of the standards from current Subchapter 24, Electric Standards, with no major substantive revisions. • Relocate content specific to subdivisions, procedures, or other topics to their corresponding section of the DDC. Water and Wastewater • Carry forward most of the standards from current Subchapter 21, Water and Wastewater Standards, with no major substantive revisions. • Relocate content specific to subdivisions, procedures, or other topics to their corresponding section of the DDC. SUBCHAPTER 7:SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS This subchapter contains the regulations that deal with the subdivision of land within Denton. Major elements include platting procedures and other specific requirements related to public improvements associated with serving new developments.The subchapter will be based on the requirements contained in the Texas Local Government Code. Major Proposed Changes • Coordinate lot and block standards with lot and building standards of the proposed lineup of zoning districts. • Relocate content specific to procedures to the Administration and Procedures section of the DDC. • Introduce flag lot and irregular lot standards. • Create standards and incentives for conservation and/or cluster subdivisions. • Discuss possible incentives to encourage conservation and efficient subdivision design (e.g., flexible lot sizes, increased building lot coverage, etc.). • Streamline and eliminate inconsistencies within the current DDC, municipal code and the Texas Local Government Code. • Explore the use of a development plat for nonresidential development. Memo-Denton Development Code Update-Assessment Memo,p.15 • Explore lot line adjustments, unity of title, and declarations in lieu of unity of title as alternate to replatting as a way to streamline the process and length of time. SUBCHAPTER 8: DEFINITIONS This subchapter includes definitions of terms used throughout the DDC. It will be based generally on the existing Subchapter 23, Definitions. Major Proposed Changes • Consolidate, add to, and revise definitions to ensure there are no duplicates or conflicts. • Remove unused terms. • Relocate standards from definitions to the corresponding DDC section. • Simplify and revise definitions for clarity. Date: January 26,2018 Report No. 2018-010 INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2016—2017 Aquatic Center Annual Report BACKGROUND: As part of the agreement between the City of Denton and the Denton Independent School District(DISD)regarding the operations of the Aquatic Center, an annual report is prepared by Parks and Recreation staff at the end of each fiscal year outlining program and financial information. Highlights in the report include the opening of the new wave pool, fee schedule adjustments for Water Works Park(WWP) and the Natatorium(NAT), increased revenues at WWP, a decrease in NAT revenue, and increased daily admissions at the NAT. Construction on the new concession stand building was also completed in 2017 and will be open for the 2018 swim season. An assessment of the Aquatic Center's operations is currently underway. Parks and Recreation staff are working closely with DISD representatives and a team from PROS Consulting to perform the assessment. It will include an analysis and inventory of the current aquatics facilities operational and financial models and determine current and anticipated demand for aquatic facilities and programming as well as current supply to meet demands. The assessment will also provide "next"practices and implementation strategies to achieve strategic objectives. A final report is expected by the end of March 2018. If you have any questions or require additional information,please let me know.

Performance Adjustments • Meet Financial Goals • - WWP PROMOTIONAL ADJUSTMENTS In response to unexpected wave pool construction delays, marketing and advertising strategies were modified in an effort to maintain revenues and water park attendance. In spite of the delays, admission revenues increased $152,010 with the following results: Daily admission revenues increased: $105,577 Season pass revenues increased: $46,433 Due to construction delays, adjustments were made to sell season passes at last year's rates until the wave pool opened. As a result, family season passes increased by 267. 2016 family season passes sold (all-summer): 452 2017 family season passes sold thru July 8: 719 Preseason promotional adjustments were required due to construction delays that resulted in the creative development of the new tag line "Happiness Comes in Waves." Integration of this tag line paired with discounts helped offset negative publicity stemming from delays. In an effort to maximize the wave pool at the end of the season, staff rolled out a weekly schedule of big waves that limited the use of tubes. To adjust, an end of season social media campaign was created called "Big Wave Days" providing an opportunity to target tweens, teens, and adults. Due to the lack of an opening date commitment, wave pool announcement marketing strategies shifted from primarily print advertising to social media.

The decrease in NAT Actuals was primarily due to a decrease in admissions of($13,050) as a result of a decline in pass sales resulting from revisions to the pass structure which eliminated family passes. NAT aquatic program revenue decreased ($17,017) due to the discontinuation of water aerobic pass and a decrease in water safety program enrollment.The water aerobics pass was modified to a value-added benefit to the NAT pass. NAT rental revenue for parties, lane rentals, and after hour rentals decreased ($9,511) due to a drop in bookings for after hour and party rentals and a drop in Masters Swim Team and physical therapy attendance. Actual WWP revenues for FY16-17 increased by$168,141 versus Actuals FY15-16 due to an increase in admissions of$152,010.This increase is attributed to an increase in pass sales, daily attendance, and an increase in admission fees when the wave pool opened. WWP concessions increased $16,292 due to an increase in pricing and sale of product. WWP rentals decreased ($3,626) due to inclement weather which forced the cancellation of several birthday parties and two after hour rentals. Locker rentals decreased ($1,765). WWP Actual revenues decreased by($456,028)versus FY16-17 Budgeted due to construction delays which postponed the opening of the wave pool until July 8. In addition,the concession stand was not completed during summer 2017, which impacted projected concessions revenue.

And, he encouraged the Council to remove all red-light cameras and lengthen Yellow Light Intervals on all traffic lights in the City. He also referenced and provided six (6) study references which indicate that lengthening Yellow Light Intervals reduce red-light camera violations and accidents. DISCUSSION: The purpose of the yellow light change interval, required to be the first interval following every circular green or green arrow indication, is to warn approaching traffic of the termination of the related green interval and that a red signal indication will follow. Yellow light timing is totally independent of Red-Light Camera(RLC)use. The federally mandated Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), which is the federal standard for traffic control on roadways, states that yellow change intervals should have a duration of 3 to 6 sec. To determine the appropriate yellow time for the approach, the nationally accepted method is to calculate the time using an equation adopted by the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE). The equation includes a reaction time, a deceleration element (dependent on approach speed) and an intersection clearing time. Due to the assumptions used in the equation, applying the equation requires the exercise of engineering judgment. Because a long yellow change interval may encourage drivers to use it as a part of the green interval, it is recommended that maximum care be used when exceeding 5 sec. If the interval is too short, rear-end crashes may result. When the calculation for yellow change interval time indicates a time longer than 5 sec., a red clearance interval typically provides the additional time. Staff Observations: The City Traffic Engineer has used the ITE equation to calculate yellow light intervals for all practical speeds and street grades within the City of Denton and has developed a chart of yellow Date: December 12,2014 Report No. 2014-095 light intervals for use by the City's Traffic Operations when timing traffic signals. In development of the chart, the Traffic Engineer has rounded the calculated interval times up, to provide conservative, extra time above the ITE recommended minimum for the yellow light interval. Engineering staff has reviewed Mr. King's references, along with a number of other research studies on Red-Light Cameras (RLC) and traffic signal timing, and offers the following observations: • While it is true that longer yellow light intervals reduce accidents, due to "extra time" for vehicles to clear the intersection, that is true only to a point of diminishing returns where drivers seem to disregard traffic signals and continue to travel through the intersection due to the longer yellow light interval; thus the maximum recommended limit of 6 seconds for the yellow light interval. The first study Mr. King cited also indicates red- light violations are reduced when there is a decrease in the 851h percentile speed, a decrease in percentage of heavy vehicles or a decrease in traffic volumes. • Providing adequate yellow signal time is important and can reduce crashes, but this alone doesn't eliminate the need for or potential benefits of red light cameras. An Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) study conducted in Philadelphia evaluated effects on red light running of first lengthening yellow signal timing by about a second and then introducing red light cameras. The longer yellow reduced red light violations by 36 percent, while adding camera enforcement reduced red light running by another 96 percent. • A number of studies, performed by nationally recognized organizations, indicate RLCs result in a general trend of slightly increased less severe rear-end accidents and reduced fatal and serious accidents. Not all studies have reported increases in rear-end accidents. A Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) study, performed for TxDOT in August 2011, of 39 Texas communities with RLC Programs indicated a decrease in red-light running crashes of 26.4% at intersections where RLCs were installed. • A number of studies also indicate a substantial decrease in red-light running violations at locations where RLCs are implemented, and that RLC installations have a "spill-over effect" which reduces the number of violations at other signalized intersections in communities with RLC Programs. • RLCs have been utilized in European cities for many years to enforce traffic signal compliance. Some cities set RLC "boxes" at many of their intersections, purchase a few RLCs and move those cameras around to the RLC "boxes," so drivers do not know which boxes have RLCs and which do not. RLC control is thus provided at many more locations than the city can afford cameras. • According to the IIHS, 683 people were killed and an estimated 133,000 people were injured in crashes involved in red-light running in 2012. As of December 2014, Red- Light Camera Programs have been implemented in 495 communities in the U.S. • Surveys show generally high citizen support (66 - 87 %) for Red-Light Camera enforcement. • The City of Denton also provides an "All Red" interval of approximately 1.5 - 3 seconds on its lights to allow clearance of the intersection by vehicles prior to signaling opposing lane traffic to proceed. The City's use of an "All-Red" interval accomplishes the same Date: December 12,2014 Report No. 2014-095 reduction in accidents as extending the yellow light interval, while also reducing accident conflicts with the cross-street where some drivers tend to use all available yellow light interval timing provided. A vehicle is in violation of a red light only if it enters (goes beyond the stop bar) and proceeds through the intersection without stopping after the light turns red. • The City of Denton's RLC Violation fine, set by state statute, is only $75. After payment of the camera program operating expenses, half of the balance is required by state law to be transferred to the state for funding of area hospital trauma centers; the other half is required to be spent by the City for local traffic safety improvements and programs. CONCLUSION: Red-Light Cameras (RLC) are one of the many tools in the "safety tool box" to improve traffic safety in our City, and should continue to be used. While other cities may have inadvertently or purposely shortened Yellow Light Intervals at RLC locations, the City of Denton has not done so, and has intentionally increased its Yellow Light Interval timings for all traffic lights above the ITE minimum recommended timings to improve safety and eliminate as much red-light running as practical. The City of Denton should continue to utilize RLCs in appropriate locations (high traffic signal violation and accident locations) as a deterrent to traffic signal violations and as a traffic safety measure, and should oppose actions to limit local governments' use of RLCs as traffic safety tools.
