City Releases Draft Zoning Map as part of Denton Code 2030
Multiple Open Houses to be held to Engage Resident..
DENTON, TX,April 13, 2018-The City of Denton has released the draft zoning map
component of the Denton Code 2030 project. The draft map includes updated zoning districts for
every property in Denton.
The draft zoning map is an important piece of the overall effort to make comprehensive updates
to the Denton Development Code (DDC). The DDC outlines the rules and processes that regulate
where and what type of development can occur. Through Denton Code 2030, the City is working
to update the DDC to be more customer-friendly and provide a strong foundation for all
development in Denton. As part of the update to the DDC, zoning districts were consolidated,
renamed, and developed to better fit with the community vision, goals,policies, and strategies
identified in the Denton Plan 2030. The draft zoning map is the application of the new zoning
districts across Denton.
"Updating the zoning districts and developing a new zoning map are integral steps in the Denton
Code 2030 project," said Director of Development Services Scott McDonald. "And the draft
zoning map represents a change, even if it is a minimal change, for every property owner in
Denton."
To rollout the draft zoning map and other DDC updates, the City is hosting seven open houses
throughout April and May. All citizens are invited to attend any of the meetings,but open houses
have been scheduled at various sites throughout the city for convenience. Property owners can
also provide feedback online at www.DentonCode203O.com.
"We want every property owner to be aware of the Denton Code 2030 project, the draft zoning
map, and what changes will impact their property," said McDonald. "We also want to provide
ample opportunities for engagement, feedback, and discussion, so we invite every property
owner to attend any or all of the open houses."
Property owners interested in learning more about the draft zoning map and how their property
will be rezoned can go to www.DentonCode203O.com and click on icon labeled"Zoning Map."

BUSTING BARRIERS TO HOUSING IN DENTON COUNff
A REPORT OF COMMUNITY DATA AND 2018 PIT COUNT SURVEY RESULTS
For years, the Point In Time (PIT) count was the single source of shared community data about the number of people
experiencing homelessness. Through continuous improvements in homelessness data management and the
implementation of Coordinated Entry(CE)in Denton County,it is now possible to track,in real-time,data that is critical to the
overall understanding of housing needs for people experiencing homelessness and the ability to identify gaps in housing in
Denton County. CE is the system and process that ensures people who are experiencing homelessness are quickly identified,
assessed,and connected to housing assistance and supportive services that promote housing stability,
CE is the system that produces real-time data to get people housed
and the PIT COUNT is a key snapshot of what is happening in a single day.
HOUSING PRIORITY LIST (HPL)
The HPL is the"pot at the end of the Coordinated Entry rainbow". CE coordinates efforts, maximizes the number of
people contributing data and produces the HPL that tracks people in real time including first time and returning users.

THE SOLUTION TO HOMELESSNESS IS HOUSING
COMMON HOUSING BARRIERS
For the 659 people currently on the Denton County Housing Priority List,including many of the estimated 255 people
experiencing homelessness surveyed in Denton County on January 25,2018,housing is the single most significant
challenge they face.The reason someone becomes homeless often create barriers to obtaining future housing and
the longer a person stays homeless increases the chances that the person may face additional obstacles that will
limit their access to a permanent housing solution.

GAPS IN HOUSING
Similar to the barriers faced by people experiencing homelessness, there are also challenges to the system's
ability to meet the demand. In addtion to traditional housing obstacles of affordablility,avaiability and accessiblity of
housing (p. 5) for people with high barriers, there is also a shortage of financial and human resource in Denton
County. Using our exisitng data for RRH and PSH needs,we estimate the gap is significant.

BUSTING BARRIERS
Fortunately,there are a number of great ideas from many of our neighboring communities to find programs to help
us break down some of these barriers and lower obstacles. The Barriers Fund and Doors for Denton County are
programs developed locally borrowing from the best practices of others. By increasing access to new financial
resources,the Barriers Fund lowers barriers and increases access to affordable,safe,decent housing through three
key strategies: (1) LANDLORD OUTREACH; (2) FAMILY SUPPORT; and (3) COMMUNITY ADVOCACY. We are
encouraging those who want to help someone who is homeless to find a home to give to the Barriers Fund.

With gaps in housing options that low-income households can afford (Affordability), high occupancy
rates that limit the number of housing units available resulting in higher rental rates (Availability); and
housing that is not accessible to people with little or no income and who have higher barriers (Acces-

at-risk of becoming homeless and limits a homeless household's ability to return to housing stability.

Date: April 13, 2018 Report No. 2018-041
INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Provide information about the gas well inspection program and updates to the gas well locator
map.
DISCUSSION:
There have been a number of initiatives completed within Gas Well Inspections over the last
several months. Council approved the contract for inspections services with Modern
Geosciences on October 24, 2017. City of Denton Gas Well Inspections staff completed the
2017 semiannual inspections during the remaining months of 2017 while Modern Geosciences
completed initial mapping and database work. Scheduling for Modern Geosciences inspections
began in early 2018, and continues to date.
Once the first round of inspections was completed by Modern Geosciences, staff worked with
the consultant to finalize the reporting format and then began to work with the City of Denton's
Public Communication and Technology Services departments to revise Denton's gas well locator
map so that both City of Denton and Modern Geosciences inspection reports could be viewed on
a per well and per operator basis. The revisions are finished, and the inspection reports from the
City of Denton and Modern Geosciences continue to be uploaded as they are completed. Due to
inspection schedules and timing, all wells will not have an inspection report currently. However,
as time goes on, inspection reports for the entire well inventory will be completed. Please keep
in mind that on-site inspections only occur for wells that are within the City limits.
Inspection reports can now be viewed on an individual well basis directly from the map, or can
be viewed by using the "search for wells"tool on the right of the main Gas Well Inspections web
page: hqp:// ig s.cityofdenton.com/CODPublic/gaswell.html. As an example, highlight
"endeavor"under operator and click the search button. All endeavor wells will be shown in a
list, and the ones that have a"notepad"icon are the wells that have been inspected. Click on the
notepad for a particular well, and all inspection reports can be downloaded for viewing. As new
inspections occur in the future, they will be added to the list in chronological order, allowing the
user to see current and any historical reports. Staff would like to acknowledge and thank Rod
Weatherby in Gas Well Inspections, Kevin Babcock in Technology Services, and Kevin
McGinnis in the Communications Office for all their efforts in revising the web page. Staff
members are currently working on a list of completed inspections by date that will be added to
the web page so users can quickly see the dates that inspections have been completed.
As a quick summary of activities, there were 497 inspections completed by Denton staff for the
second semiannual inspection event that was completed in December 2017. The first
semiannual inspection event for 2018 is underway, and 203 inspections have been completed to
date. Denton staff has also completed 581 "spot inspections" (quick onsite inspection events)
since January 1, 2018. Modern Geosciences has completed 162 inspections, with 22 high
priority(less than 300 feet from sensitive uses), 89 moderate priority(300 to 1000 feet from
sensitive uses), and 51 low priority(greater than 1000 feet from sensitive uses).
Date: April 13, 2018 Report No. 2018-041
Denton gas well inspection staff will continue to complete the first semiannual inspection, and
Modern Geosciences is currently conducting inspections for the remainder of their list. Staff will
be glad to provide any additional information if needed.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
North Lakes Park Dog Park
BACKGROUND:
Due to the success of the Wiggly Field Dog Park and the community's request for an additional
park on the northern side of town, the Parks and Recreation Department planned to install a dog
park at North Lakes Park. A North Lakes Park Master Plan (Exhibit A) dated 2014, identified a
site for the dog park. Dunaway Associates was hired to design a parking lot, but not the dog park
itself. At the time, it was anticipated that Parks and Recreation staff would complete the grading,
fencing, sod, irrigation and flat work to construct the new dog park.
As seen in Exhibits B and C, the proposed location of the parking lot adjacent to the Linda
McNatt Animal Care and Adoption Center. This location is the same property that was
discussed at the City Council meeting on April 10, 2018, regarding the potential sale of 10.3
acres (Exhibit C) of frontage property along Highway 77.
Currently, Parks and Recreation has $387,388.02 in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and
an additional $355,000 identified for park improvements in the 2014 Bond Program. While final
costs are unknown at this time, two parking lots were designed in 2015 that would support either
36 or 153 spaces. The larger parking lot that proposes the construction on 153 parking spaces
seems to be more than is needed to provide for the dog park. A clarification on parking needs
will be made in order provide an adequate number of parking spaces.
Parks and Recreation staff is re-instating the contract with Dunaway Associates to complete the
design of the dog park and prepare documents in order to publicly bid the project. It is
anticipated that the design will be completed this summer and construction would begin in the
fall. Once a design is received, staff will provide an Informal Staff Report (ISR) with an update
on the project.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Highway 77 Property Presentation Follow-up
BACKGROUND:
Staff from Parks and Recreation presented a number of scenarios in which the 10.3 acres along
Highway 77 could be sold for development purposes. During the presentation a number of
questions were asked and this ISR is providing a follow-up response.
1. If the property is sold and the trail needs to be moved, do we have to refund the TXDoT
grant?
• According Exhibit A-Advance Funding Agreement(Page 16— Section 10,
Project Maintenance highlighted in yellow), if the City decides to sell the
property, we would have to refund all grant funding.
• Staff has reached out to TXDot for some additional information regarding the
potential option of moving the trail and to get clarification if the entire grant had
to be refunded if a small portion of the trail was impacted. As of the time of this
report, this information was not available. A follow-up ISR will be provided to
City Council once information is received.
2. What are the current steps to move forward with construction of the North Lakes Dog
Park?
• In 2016, City Council was informed that the dog park would be completed in 6-9
months. To date, the project has not started.
• Parks and Recreation is in the process of getting a quote for the design of the dog
park. This would include a conceptual plan, opinion of probably cost and
construction drawings.
• Once the above steps are finalized and funding for the project has clarified, we
will move forward with bidding the project.
• Staff is work diligently to get this project completed as soon as possible.
• A separate ISR is included in the April 13, 2018, Friday Report to provide
additional information on this project.
The proposed location of the two variations of parking lots are adjacent to the Linda McNatt
Animal Care and Adoption Center. This location is the same property that was discussed at the
City Council meeting on April 10, 2018, regarding the potential sale of 10.3 acres of frontage
property along Highway 77.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Speed limits along roadways in the City of Denton.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
During concluding items of the March 20, 2018 City Council meeting, Council Member
Hudspeth inquired if a city-wide speed limit analysis could be performed. City-wide speed limit
studies are recommended to be conducted every 5-7 years; staff is expecting to propose a city-
wide speed limit study in the next 18-24 months after construction on major thoroughfares and
arterials is completed.
Speed limits are established based on engineering studies that include speed surveys to determine
the 85th percentile speed limit. The 85th percentile speed is the speed at which 85%of the drivers
drive safely and comfortably and is the basis to determine speed limits. The posted speed limits
on all City and Texas Department of Transportation(TxDOT) streets is determined using a
process that is followed by other agencies throughout the nation and is in accordance with the
state and Federal guidelines. Currently the City has approximately 1,350 lane miles of streets and
TxDOT has 240 miles of streets within the City limits.
BACKGROUND:
A speed limit study is initiated when there are capacity enhancements along a thoroughfare (i.e.
street widening). For example,when State Highway 380 was widened recently, TxDOT
conducted a speed limit study and it was determined that the speeds be increased to 40 MPH.
When the Mayhill and Bonnie Brae projects are complete, the City will initiate a speed study
through these corridors to determine the appropriate speed limits.
A citywide speed limit study of major arterials and thoroughfares is recommended every 5-7
years to determine the appropriate speeds as conditions change within a community. The cost of
the speed study is estimated to cost $70,000-$80,000. A Citywide speed study has not recently
been conducted in Denton due to the constant roadway construction activity in the community.
The roadway construction affects the driver behavior due to detours, lane closures, and other
factors which does not provide a true representation of the appropriate speed of a road. Staff
recommends proposing a city-wide speed limit study in the next 18-24 months after construction
on major thoroughfares and arterials is completed.
Speed limits along City and State roadways are typically established based on engineering
studies. The primary criteria used in establishing a speed limit is called the 85th percentile. In the
case of local residential streets, the prima facie speed limit(not posted) is consistent with state
minimum speed limit of 30 miles per hour in accordance with the Texas Transportation Code.
Use of the 85th percentile speed concept is based on the theory that:
• the large majority of drivers:
o are reasonable and prudent
o do not want to have a crash
Date: April 13, 2018 Report No. 2018-044
o desire to reach their destination in the shortest possible time
• a speed at or below which 85% of people drive at any given location under good weather
and visibility conditions may be considered as the maximum safe speed for that location.
The results of numerous and extensive "before-and-after" studies substantiates the general
propriety and value of the 85th percentile criterion. Statistical techniques show that a normal
probability distribution will occur when a random sample of traffic is measured. From the
resulting frequency distribution curves, one finds that a certain percentage of drivers drive too
fast for the existing conditions and a certain percentage of drivers travel at an unreasonably slow
speed compared to the trend of traffic. Most cumulative speed distribution curves "break" at
approximately 15% and 85% of the total number of observations (see Figure). Consequently, the
motorists observed in the lower 15% are considered to be traveling unreasonably slow and those
observed above the 85th percentile value are assumed to be exceeding a safe and reasonable
speed. Because of the steep slope of the distribution curve below the 85th percentile value, it can
readily be seen that posting a speed below the critical value would penalize a large percentage of
reasonable drivers.
The example illustrated in adjoining figure shows that a speed posted for 7 MPH below the 85th
percentile speed would unfairly penalize 25% of the too
drivers considered to be driving at a reasonable and
prudent speed. Therefore, for purposes of speed zoning, 90

the maximum posted speed should be as near as possible — — --
to the 85th percentile value, and whenever minimum 80 I
speed zones are used, the minimum posted speed should J
be within 5 MPH of the 15th percentile value. Experience W 70 N 1
proves these findings valid and shows that the 85th 60 J60TH % SPED 1

limit. W 1

As discussed earlier, speed limits are established by
conducting speed surveys calculated at the 85th percentile. > 30
The speed limit is usually rounded to the 5 MPH
increment that is just higher or lower than the 85% (unless 20 I 1
STH c
the 85% is calculated at a 5MPH increment). Other SPEE
factors that can be considered in lowering a speed limit 10
less than the 5MPH increment are: 0 I 1 1

• roadway pavement width of 20ft or less, 45 52
• horizontal and vertical curves, SPEED (M.P.H. 1
• hidden driveways and other roadside developments,
• high driveway density,
• a high crash history,
• substantial pedestrian activity,
• rural residential or development area and,
• lack of striped and improved shoulders.
Date: April 13, 2018 Report No. 2018-044
The State of Texas considers these other factors as being a means of establishing a speed limit up
to 1 OMPH (12MPH for locations with a crash rate higher than the statewide average) lower than
the 85th percentile speed.
