II. General Information & Status Update
A. 2018 Citizen Survey Highlights – The 2018 Citizen Survey results were shared
with City Council in the Friday, Dec. 14 report and posted on the City’s website
here. A Council Member asked if there was a report that could show a list of
priority areas where the city scored markedly different from the benchmarks or
from prior year survey results. The survey vendor, National Research Center,
provided 8 different reports including a report titled the 2018 Citizen Survey
Dashboard. Staff has highlighted in color on this dashboard report where the city
was higher or lower than benchmarks or prior year results – please see the attached
dashboard report. Staff will be working with departments to review the survey data
and develop next steps and an action plan to improve ratings, including integrating
goals and metrics into the City’s strategic plan. Staff contact: Sarah Kuechler,
Public Affairs
B. DCTA to Implement Fare, Service and Schedule Changes – On Jan. 14, the Denton
County Transit Authority (DCTA) will roll out significant changes to its fares,
service and schedules. The attached press release highlights the new fare
structure, key updates to DCTA university programs, expansion of the microtransit
service, and enhancements to bus routes. Staff contact: Jessica Rogers, Public
Affairs
C. Jennifer Walters’ Retirement Party – City Secretary, Jennifer Walters is retiring
on Jan. 31 after 34 years of dedicated service to the City of Denton. A retirement
celebration will be held on Jan. 11 from 3-5 p.m. in the City Council Work Session
Room to thank Jennifer for her service. Please see the attached invitation for
additional event details. Staff contact: Rachel Wood, CMO
D. Seven Acre I-35E Development – On Dec. 13, staff was asked to provide
information on a development near the Southridge Village Shopping Center off of
I-35E. A senior housing multifamily development is being proposed at this site,
but the City has not yet received an application. Since “elderly housing” is allowed
by right in the RDR-2 zoning district, the proposed development would be allowed
without a public hearing. The property would need to be an institutional use, be
licensed by the State of Texas, and provide care onsite to be considered an “elderly
housing” development in the Denton Development Code. Below is the definition
of elderly housing found in section 35.23.2 of the Denton Development Code:
Elderly Housing. A structure licensed by the Texas Department of Aging
and Disability, eighty (80) percent of whose occupants are fifty-five (55)
years of age and older, and that; meets the definition of one (1) of the
three (3) uses listed below:
o Elderly Housing, Assisted Living: Services in these
establishments include assistance with daily activities, such as
dressing, grooming, bathing, etc.
o Elderly Housing, Congregate Care Facility: A facility for long-
term residence generally for persons fifty-five (55) years of age or
older, and which shall include, without limitation, common
dining, social and recreational features, special safety and
convenience features designed for the needs of the elderly, such
as emergency call systems, grab bars and handrails, special door
hardware, cabinets, appliances, passageways, and doorways
designed to accommodate wheelchairs, and the provision of social
services for residents which shall include at least two (2) of the
following: meals services, transportation, housekeeping, linen,
and organized social activities.
o Elderly Housing, Life Care Housing and Services: A residential
complex, which may contain multi-family dwellings, attached
dwellings, single-family dwelling and other types of dwellings
and structures designed for and principally occupied by senior
citizens. Such facilities will include one of the following: A
congregate meals program in a common dining area, assisted
living housing, nursing home facilities, congregate care facilities,
or medical facilities.

E. Rezoning on Elm Street – Information was requested regarding a potential
rezoning for a development on Elm Street north of Windsor Drive (north of the
Family Dollar). The application was to change the zoning from Neighborhood
Residential Mixed-Use 12 to Neighborhood Residential Mixed-Use. In addition to
a rezoning, this project will also require a Specific Use Permit (SUP) prior to
approval for building multifamily development at this site. Attached are the Nov.
28, 2018 Planning & Zoning Commission minutes detailing the Commission’s
discussion on this subject. The Commission questioned whether the applicant
would be open to an overlay to reduce the density and the applicant stated they
would. The Commission chose to postpone the item until February 20, 2019 to
hear the SUP to allow the applicant time to determine if they would still be
interested in moving forward with a density overlay. The applicant agreed to come
back before the Planning & Zoning Commission on that date. Staff contact:

Dashboard Summary of Findings

Summary
The National Citizen Survey™ (The NCS™) is a collaborative effort between National Research Center, Inc. (NRC)
and the International City/County Management Association (ICMA). The survey and its administration are
standardized to assure high quality research methods and directly comparable results across The NCS
communities. The NCS captures residents’ opinions within the three pillars of a community (Community
Characteristics, Governance and Participation) across eight central facets of community (Safety, Mobility, Natural
Environment, Built Environment, Economy, Recreation and Wellness, Education and Enrichment and
Community Engagement). This report summarizes Denton’s performance in the eight facets of community livability with the “General” rating as a summary of results from the overarching questions not shown within any
of the eight facets. The “Overall” represents the community pillar in its entirety (the eight facets and general).
By summarizing resident ratings across the eight facets and three pillars of a livable community, a picture of Denton’s community livability emerges. Below, the color of each community facet summarizes how residents rated
each of the pillars that support it – Community Characteristics, Governance and Participation. When most ratings
were higher than the benchmark, the color is the darkest shade; when most ratings were lower than the
benchmark, the color is the lightest shade. A mix of ratings (higher and lower than the benchmark) results in a
color between the extremes.
Broadly, ratings for most items across the three pillars of community livability were positive and similar to those
given in other communities across the nation. In Community Characteristics, ratings within the facets of
Education and Enrichment and Community Engagement were higher than the national benchmarks, while levels
of Participation within Recreation and Wellness were lower than average. This information can be helpful in
identifying the areas that merit more attention.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Denton County Transportation Authority to Implement Fare, Service
and Schedule Changes on January 14, 2019
Changes to include a new local fare structure, launch of microtransit on-demand service
in Lewisville and updates to existing programs and bus service
LEWISVILLE, TEXAS (January 2, 2019) – On Monday, January 14, 2019, big changes will go into
effect for Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) passengers. The agency will implement
fare, service and schedule changes that will provide more real-time mobility options, easier fare
structure, permanent lower local ticket prices and updated programs to better serve riders.
“We have significant plans for our January 2019 service changes to improve how we do
business to better serve our stakeholders and riders,” said Raymond Suarez, DCTA
President. “Our main priorities with these changes are to improve mobility and livability
in the many communities we serve.”
Below is a list of key changes that will go into effect Monday, January 14, 2019:
New Fare Structure to Provide Lower Ticket Options and Ease of Use for Riders
Current fare prices featured in DCTA’s Local Fare Promotion will become permanent, which will
encourage ridership and continue to offset the recent increase in regional fares. Key soon-to-be
permanent DCTA local fare highlights include the Local Day Pass priced at $3 (was $6 before Local
Fare Promotion), Local 31-Day Pass priced at $48 (was $90 before Local Fare Promotion) and the
Local Annual Pass priced at $480 (was $650 before Local Fare Promotion).
In addition, the agency will discontinue its connect fare and all DCTA local fare will be categorized as
local day, local a.m. and local p.m. fare. This will reduce the need for transfers and allow riders to
have access to more DCTA services at a cheaper price. More information about DCTA’s new local
fare structure can be found at RideDCTA.net.
Key Updates to DCTA University Programs and Programs
DCTA and the University of North Texas (UNT) will extend the university’s Lyft program for students
that launched August 2018. The program provides students traveling within the specified UNT Lyft
Zone with a complimentary Lyft ride for save travel after hours. The service is available from 2 a.m.
to 7 a.m., seven days a week. All program parameters will remain the same.
Starting January 14, 2019, DCTA’s University A-train Free Ride promotion will no longer be
available. The current promotion allows UNT, Texas Woman’s University (TWU) and North Central
Texas College (NCTC) students, faculty to ride DCTA’s A-train for free with a valid university
identification card. In addition, the North Texas Xpress service which was also free for university
students, faculty and staff in conjunction with the University A-train Free Ride promotion will also no
longer be free come January 14, 2019.
DCTA Expanding its Microtransit Service for More Real-Time, Flexible Rides
DCTA will launch a new on-demand, microtransit service that will provide travel options for those
needing to access the Lakeway Business Park area in Lewisville and surrounding businesses in the
designated zone. There will also be a stop at DCTA’s Hebron station for connections between
Connect Routes 21 and 22, the A-train and the Lewisville Lakeway Zone. This new service will
replace the portion of Lewisville Connect Route 21 through the Lakeway Business Park area and will
require a local fare to ride.
Microtransit service offers real-time flexible routing and scheduling of vehicles. Similar to Uber and
Lyft, DCTA-branded vehicles will carry a handful of riders at a time. Passengers can book a trip in
real time via the Spare Rider mobile app, which can be downloaded from the Apple and Google Play
store, or by phone calling 940.243.0077.
In addition, the agency’s current Denton Enterprise Airport On-Demand service will change from a
pilot program to a regular service the agency will offer passengers. The service will now require a
local fare and will no longer be free for riders.
Enhancements to Bus Service for a Better Rider Experience
DCTA is making tweaks to some of its existing bus routes which include:
Denton Connect Route 7: The routing has been changed so it no longer travels from
Hickory, north on Locust to McKinney, and south on Railroad to the Downtown Denton
Transit Center (DDTC). The new routing has it traveling continuously down Hickory Street
until it gets to the DDTC. In addition, DCTA updated the schedule.
Lewisville Connect Route 21: The portion of this route that serves the Lakeway Business
Park Area in Lewisville will be replaced with the new Lewisville Lakeway On-Demand
service.
Mean Green Night Rider and Discovery Park Campus Shuttles: The Saturday schedule
for both UNT Campus Shuttles will become the current Sunday schedule.

fare changes, visit RideDCTA.net.

Minutes
Planning and Zoning Commission
November 28, 2018
After determining that a quorum was present, the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of
Denton, Texas convened in a Work Session on Wednesday, November 28, 2018 at 4:30 p.m. in
the Council Work Session Room at City Hall, 215 E. McKinney Street, Denton, Texas at which
the following items were considered:
PRESENT: Chair Andrew Rozell, Commissioners: Alfred Sanchez, Larry Beck, Jason
Cole, Mat Pruneda, Margie Ellis, and Tim Smith.
ABSENT: None.
STAFF: Scott McDonald, Richard Cannone, Jerry Drake, Hayley Zagurski, Julie Wyatt,
Cindy Jackson, Ron Menguita, Sean Jacobson, Karen Hermann, Charlie Rosendahl and
Cathy Welborn.
WORK SESSION
Chair Rozell opened the Work Session at 4:37 p.m.
1. Clarification of agenda items listed on the agenda for this meeting. This is an opportunity for
Commissioners to ask questions of staff on the Consent and Regular Agenda items, which may
include a full briefing on an item in the order it appears on the regular session agenda. Any such
briefing will be repeated in regular session.
Chair Rozell stated Public Hearing item 2A has been postponed to the December 12, 2018 meeting.
Hayley Zagurski, Senior Planner, presented Public Hearing item 2B.
Zagurski stated this item is being continued from the November 14, 2018 Planning and Zoning
meeting per the applicants request to allow more time to develop a modified plan.
Zagurski stated following the meeting the applicant decided to move forward with staff’s original
recommended conditions. Staff does recommend approval with the following conditions: 1. The
City Council recognizes that driveway access locations from state highways must be approved by
the Texas Department of Transportation (“TxDOT”), and that alterations in the configuration of I-
35 are currently in planning. Any driveway access locations from the northbound I-35 frontage
road which must be altered in response to changing TxDOT requirements during the permitting
process may be administratively approved by City staff, provided that such alterations comply
with all DDC and criteria manual requirements, and that all remaining elements of the approved
site plan are satisfied. 2. Landscaping in the attached site plan reflects an intent to comply with the
DDC requirements for parking, street trees, minimum landscape and canopy areas, and
compatibility buffers, with administrative approval of alternative buffer elements permitted in
accordance with DDC 35.13.8. Minor alterations to the depicted locations of individual plantings
2
may be approved by City staff, provided that the final landscaping, as planted, complies with the
attached site plan in terms of buffer and open space locations, as well as all elements of the DDC.
3. The Agreement entered into and executed by CL Ventures LLC and Sage Natural Resources,
LLC, which sets forth the 250 foot reverse setbacks for the multi-family development from the
two wells as shown on the attached site plan, must be filed in the records of Denton County prior
to approval of a plat for the subject property, and a note on the plat shall reference the Agreement
and setbacks. 4. Notwithstanding the limited administrative approvals authorized in conditions 1
and 2, the City reserves the right to require approval by ordinance of any amendments to the SUP,
the attached site plan, and the elements described previously, including those referenced in
conditions 1 and 2.
Commissioner Beck questioned if there is a definite plan for commercial development. Zagurski
stated no there is no set date.
Commissioner Smith questioned why the applicant decided to go with staff’s recommendations
and conditions. Zagurski stated the way notices are worded City Council and the Planning and
Zoning Commission can only recommend or approve conditions that are equal to or more
restrictive then what was seen at the meeting. Zagurski continued what the applicant was proposing
was less restrictive and would have required another notification.
Cindy Jackson, Senior Planner, presented Public Hearing 2C. Jackson stated this item has been
continued from the October 28 2018 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting to allow the
tenants time to address the parking issues associated with the two suites. Jackson stated staff did
go out on 11/28/2018 and discovered the vehicles from the adjacent lot had been removed and Mr.
Melton has vacated suite 111 and Mr. Haynie has now leased suite 111.
Jackson stated staff does recommend denial, but should the Planning and Zoning commission
decide to approve the request staff recommends the following conditions: 1. A new Certificate of
Occupancy for the correct use, Quick Vehicle Servicing, must be applied for and approved. 2. The
new Certificate of Occupancy shall state that the proposed use of Quick Vehicle Service is limited
to this particular business owner and these two particular suites. 3. This Specific Use Permit will
be limited to the use description and floor plan shown in Exhibit 8 and Exhibit 9. 4. Overnight
outdoor storage of automobiles is prohibited. 5. No more than two customer vehicles per each
business can be parked in the parking spaces in front of the building during business hours.
Commissioner Pruneda questioned if the applicant would need a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for
both suites. Jackson stated yes he would.
Chair Rozell questioned if it is in the authority of the Planning and Zoning Commission or City
Council to limit the Certificate of Occupancy to a business.
Chair Rozell stated Jackson affirmatively responded to Commissioner Pruneda’s question that the
applicant would need an SUP of each suite and requested her to clarify if there would be another
SUP coming before the commission. Jackson stated she misunderstood Commissioner Pruneda’s
question and the SUP currently in question is for both suite 110 and 111. Chair Rozell questioned
given the provisions why staff is still in denial of the request. Jackson stated due to the use being
3
denied in 2010, staff thought it would be better for the Planning and Zoning Commission and City
Council decide if the location is appropriate for the use.
Julie Wyatt, Senior Planner, presented Public Hearing item 2E. Wyatt stated the Denton
Development Code (DDC) does not address Planned Developments (PD), even though it did carry
over 15 PD's that were in effect prior to the adoption of the 2002 code.
Wyatt stated staff looks to the 1991 code to regulate and administer the PD’s.
Commissioner Beck questioned if the applicant could build a residence up to 3600 square feet.
Wyatt stated the way lot coverage is calculated in the City of Denton does not only include the
structure but also includes all impervious surfaces.
Wyatt stated Staff does recommend approval of the request as it meets the criteria for approval
with the following condition: 1. Any development must conform to the General Concept Plan,
Detailed Plan, Landscape Plan, and text.
Jackson presented Public Hearing item 2D. Jackson stated the request is for an SUP to allow for a
free standing monopole tower and associated equipment room.
Jackson stated staff does recommend approval of the request as it is compatible with the
surrounding property and conforms to all applicable requirements of section 35.12.8, Wireless
Telecommunications Facilities.
Commissioner Smith questioned when the applicant sent out the notification for the neighborhood
meeting and where it was held. Jackson stated the applicant sent out notices 10 days before the
meeting and the meeting was held at the Emily Fowler Library.
Jackson presented Public Hearing item 2F. Jackson stated the request is to consider a zoning
change from Neighborhood Residential Mixed Use 12 (NRMU-12) to Neighborhood Residential
Mixed Use (NRMU). Jackson stated the request will require a Specific Use Permit (SUP) which
will also come before the commission.
Jackson stated with the number of notifications received in opposition, approval would require
super majority vote from City Council.
Jackson stated staff does recommend approval of the request as it is compatible with the
surrounding property and is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Denton Plan 2030.
Commissioner Ellis questioned if staff took into consideration what other uses this zoning change
could open the property up to besides multi-family. Jackson stated yes, but with the property being
located on a primary arterial, the requested zoning district permits neighborhood services and
neighborhood commercial uses staff considers to be compatible.
Chair Rozell stated at the last two Planning and Zoning meetings the commission has seen a zoning
and SUP request in tandem. Chair Rozell then questioned why there is a delay for the SUP. Jackson
stated the applicant did not submit for a SUP and has not started on the engineering for the site.
4
Commissioner Pruneda questioned the type of leases the apartments would have. Jackson stated
usually when there is single room occupancy they are four bedrooms and these are one or two
bedroom apartments.
Commissioner Beck questioned what type of buffer would be required. Jackson stated they would
have to add a type C buffer on the sides that neighbor the church and the single family residents.
Chair Rozell stated Public Hearing item 2G is postponed to January 9, 2018.
Chair Rozell called a recess at 5:55 p.m.
Chair Rozell reconvened the Work Session at 6:10 p.m.

Staff does recommend approval with the following conditions: 1. The City Council recognizes that
driveway access locations from state highways must be approved by the Texas Department of
Transportation (“TxDOT”), and that alterations in the configuration of I-35 are currently in
planning. Any driveway access locations from the northbound I-35 frontage road which must be
altered in response to changing TxDOT requirements during the permitting process may be
administratively approved by City staff, provided that such alterations comply with all DDC and
criteria manual requirements, and that all remaining elements of the approved site plan are
satisfied. 2. Landscaping in the attached site plan reflects an intent to comply with the DDC
requirements for parking, street trees, minimum landscape and canopy areas, and compatibility
buffers, with administrative approval of alternative buffer elements permitted in accordance with
DDC 35.13.8. Minor alterations to the depicted locations of individual plantings may be approved
by City staff, provided that the final landscaping, as planted, complies with the attached site plan
in terms of buffer and open space locations, as well as all elements of the DDC. 3. The Agreement
entered into and executed by CL Ventures LLC and Sage Natural Resources, LLC, which sets
forth the 250 foot reverse setbacks for the multi-family development from the two wells as shown
on the attached site plan, must be filed in the records of Denton County prior to approval of a plat
for the subject property, and a note on the plat shall reference the Agreement and setbacks. 4.
Notwithstanding the limited administrative approvals authorized in conditions 1 and 2, the City

both active.
Chair Rozell read into the record the opposition from Ed Soph, 1620 Victoria Dr. Denton, Texas
76209.
Commissioner Beck provided his concerns and findings regarding gas wells.
Commissioner Pruneda stated if the item was denied from Planning and Zoning Commission it
would still go before City Council and require a super majority vote.
Chair Rozell stated he will be supporting the project. With the current setback requirements City
Council has agreed on, the Planning and Zoning Commission might be setting arbitrary conditions
that are not codified by City Council.

Date: January 4, 2019 Report No. 2019-001
INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
On January 1, 2019 Council Member Paul Meltzer sent an email to Ken Banks, General Manager of
Utilities, regarding a scientific study to evaluate gas well setback distances for the City of Denton. In the
email, Council Member Meltzer requested staff to provide an informal staff report addressing the
following question “To reduce upfront cost, would it be feasible to take it a step at a time and just test
whether our current 250 foot reverse setback is safe and healthy—including under conditions where
fracking is taking place?”
DISCUSSION:
An informal staff report (ISR) regarding a scientific study to evaluate gas well setback distances was
provided to the City Council on December 21, 2018 (ISR 2018-194). The information included in ISR
2018-194 was designed to address a previous request by Council Member Meltzer to determine a setback
distance that was adequate for protecting public health. Staff provided detailed recommendations on
major study elements to include in such a study, based largely on a similar study conducted by the Eastern
Research Group (“ERG”) for the City of Fort Worth during 2010-2011. The approach used in ISR 2018-
194 was designed to assess multiple distances to determine a distance that was protective of public health
according to the parameters specified within the ISR. Using information from the ERG study, ISR,
2018-194 also stated that it is not unreasonable to expect the study to be in the 2 million dollar range, and
to take perhaps 1.5 to 2.5 years to complete
The request made on January 1, 2019 involves assessment of a single distance of 250 feet, which will be
more analogous the Fort Worth ERG study and should reduce costs. However, staff recommends
excluding the element of assessments “under conditions where fracking is taking place.” The rationale
for this recommendation is due to the fact that a large number of fracking events will need to be assessed
to understand contaminant concentrations and to have enough data to model. Currently, fracking is a rare
event in Denton because drilling is not occurring, and as a result it is unlikely that there will be enough
fracking events available to provide an adequate assessment unless the study extends for a very long time.
This will likely continue to be the case unless energy markets change substantially.
Estimating the cost of such a study is difficult, but using the same approach as applied in ISR 2018-194,
staff expects that a “single distance” study for Denton would be in the 1 to 1.4 million dollar range and
would likely take 1.5 to 2 years to complete.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Examples of recent projects that would be impacted by the Denton Development Code update.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On November 13, 2018, City Council requested information on projects that would be approved under the current
Denton Development Code (DDC), but would no longer be allowed under the proposed DDC, and projects not
allowed currently that would be allowed under the proposed DDC. Staff has reviewed recent projects and chosen
a few examples to highlight key differences between the current DDC and proposed DDC. Generally, the
proposed DDC allows for more flexibility in methods by developers to reach the desired outcome for the City.
The following information is based on the latest draft of the proposed DDC which is subject to change through
the process of adoption. The consolidated draft will be available in late January 2019 in advance of a work session
in February 2019 with City Council.
EXAMPLES:
Staff has researched several examples to highlight key differences and the subsequent effects following the
adoptions of the proposed DDC. Examples 1 and 2 are projects that are currently prohibited under the DDC, but
would be permitted in the proposed DDC. Examples 3 and 4 are projects that are currently permitted, but would
be prohibited in the proposed DDC.
Example 1: Landscaping requirement at the site on Audra Lane
There was a recent project (ADP18-0005) where a church on Audra Lane was requesting to add additional parking
to their site. This addition required to applicant to meet the current landscape code, so the site had to have the
following:
Maintain a tree canopy of 50 percent.
Type “C” 15-foot-wide along the areas adjacent
to residential development
Front Parking Screening of:
o 15-foot-wide landscape area;
o Landscape berm;
o 1 large tree per 40 linear feet or 3 small
trees per 30 linear feet; and
o Xeriscaping, 3-foot shrub row, or 3-foot
high wall.
There were constraints on this site that made it difficult to achieve the landscape standards and ultimately what
they were required to include to meet the Code was not the best strategy for the site or the City. For example,
there is a drainage easement and detention pond on the site and the inclusion of the required berm would have
negatively impacted the drainage on the site. An Alternative Development Plan (ADP) was approved by the
Planning and Zoning Commission on August 8, 2018 that allowed the site to modify the requirements with the
following deviations:
Date: January 4, 2019 Report No. 2019-002
Maintain all existing trees and provide parking lot and screening trees with a total site canopy coverage
of 30 percent;
Add 83 parking spaces and decrease the landscape area to 58 percent; and
Have a 20-foot-wide landscape frontage with a continuous double row of shrubs and 1 tree every 25 linear
foot.
In the proposed DDC, there would be flexibility in the way that the landscape and conservation standards are
applied, so rather than requiring an ADP for the site, the applicant would have been able to do a combination of
various buffering methods in order to meet the proposed points-based standard for the future landscape code in
the DDC. This would have resulted in the site meeting the goal of the City to have a buffer for certain types of
development while allowing the applicant to do so in a manner that is better for the long-term health of the
landscaping on site.
Example 2: Specific Use Permit for multi-family dwellings
Currently, NRMU and NRMU-12 districts require the approval of a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for multifamily
dwellings. The future comparable zoning districts would not require SUP approval. There were 70 zoning changes
from August 2016 to August 2018, and eight of those rezoning would not have required an SUP due to the
proposed zoning changes in the DDC update.
Example 3: Villages of Carmel Development
Finally, for residential subdivisions over two acres, the current DDC allows developments to rely on a maximum
density instead of minimum lot sizes and dimensions. For example, the Villages of Carmel contains some lots
as small as 4,000 square feet; however, under the proposed DDC, subdivisions similar to the Villages of Carmel
would require a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet square feet. As an example of the differences in lot sizes,
the photo below depicts a 4,305 sf lot in blue and 7,200 sf lot in green. This modification would yield larger lot
sizes, potentially reducing density.
Date: January 4, 2019 Report No. 2019-002
Example 4: Bell Avenue multi-family complex
In the current DDC, portions of commercial parking lots can be constructed with pervious material to meet the
minimum landscape area requirement. The proposed DDC removes this allowance, and instead, requires
landscape areas to be constructed as a planted area. This amendment would require some developments to modify
their site plans to ensure that the designs meet the intent of landscaping requirements. For example, a recent
multi-family project located at the corner of Industrial Street and Bell Avenue used pavers to meet the landscape
requirement, resulting in parking coverage on almost the entirety of the site. Under the proposed regulations, the
pavers would not be counted toward the minimum landscaping requirements, reducing the parking area, and by
extension, the number of dwelling units.
