THE

PLAN
Growth Management Plan Assumptions
Based upon the preferences expressed by the c~t~zens of Denton at commumty meetings and at
the commumty workshop held to present the Draft Growth Management Plan, the following
Growth Management Plan ~s presented as a preferred alternative for future growth ~n Denton
The plan combines many of the concepts from the alternative development scenarios that
received favorable responses at the commumty meetings, ~nclud~ng the development of
"neighborhood centers", "urban centers", and a strong ~ndustr~al d~str~ct w~th~n the C~ty, wh~le
encouraging the restoration, redevelopment and inflll of parcels ,n the downtown area and
adjacent to the Umvers~ty of North Texas, and Texas Woman's Umvers~ty
Basic Assumptions
The following are the basic assumptions of the Growth Management Plan
1 The Planmng Honzon ~s for the year 2020
2 The estimated populahon ~n the year 2020 will be 213,000 for the entire study area, which
includes the C~ty of Denton and ~ts anticipated 5-m~le extraterritorial lurisd~cbon (ET J)
3 The population of the City of Denton m the year 2020 w~ll be 191,910, w~th an additional 45
square miles of ETJ expected to receive urban serwces and be considered for annexation
4 The City ~ntends to accommodate the additional populabon that the market d~ctates
5 The m~x of Residential, and Commercial land uses w~ll be approximately the same as
currently exists, Industrial land uses w~ll be H~gher, and Insbtuhonal uses w~ll be lower
6 W~thm Residential Land Uses, the percentage of Multi-Family to S~ngle Family uses w~ll be
less than exists today
7 The Zoning Mix ~n 2020 may or may not be the same as currently exists
8 Denton will continue to encourage a range in housing types and densities in order to
respond to the needs and desires of ~ts' residents
9 Average residential dens~bes will be the same as exist today
10 There w~ll continue to be an average of 2 8 people per SF remdenbal umt and 1 8 people
per multi-family umt
11 The averaoe, c~tyw~de, S~ngle Family lot size w~ll continue to be 10,000 SF, which
corresponds to a density of 3 units per acre The S~ngle Family res~denbal dens~ty ~n
Neighborhood Centers will average 4 umts per acre
12 The average density for Mult~ Fam~ty development w~ll continue to be 14 umts per acre,
which corresponds to ex~sbng development patterns *
13 The minimum lot s~ze for SF Low Dens~ty development will be 2 acres, or more if reqmred
to support a septic system
14 Based upon the antic~pated quanbt~es and locations of future population, and the c~ty's
ex~stmg land use m~x, the c~ty w~ll need to accommodate approximately 15,000 additional
acres of s~ngle family development, and 1200 add~honal acres of Mulb-Fam~ly
development
15 Based upon the additional residential development and the ex,sting land use m~x, the C~ty
w~ll need to accommodate approximately 3000 acres of ~ndustnal development, 3200
acres of commem~al development, and 2700 acres of insbtut~onal development
16 The plan encourages refill development, restoration and redevelopment w~thln the ex~st~ng
Center C~ty and surrounding the umversltles
~ Whtlemany developersaretodayrequestmgh~gher dens~tres than 14 umts per acre t'or apartment development,
the GMS recommends a lower average density mtywlde due to recomreendatrens to accommodate lower density
mult~-famdy uses such as townhomes

Spectflc Aspects of the GMS Plan
1 Anhcipat;ng and allowing growth along the southern borders of the C;ty of Denton,
provided development pays its' own way, except ;n cases where the C;ty w;shes to prowde
~ncent~ves to encourage it's des~rad urban form or corridors
2 Adopting an aggressive annexation pohcy ;n order to manage the dens~ty and quality of
growth w~thin currant ETJ land, and to maintain the ex~st~ng CCN
3 Using infrastructure master plans to develop expectahons of adequate levels of publ;c
services In areas where water and sewer services are prowded, moderate density
development can be accommodated In areas where services are not available, Iow-
density development w~ll be necessary, using sept;c systems and wells
4 S;ngte family Low-Density ras~dent;al uses will be allowed to develop m areas outside of
the Urbamz~ng Areas The s~ze of the lots in those areas w~ll be based upon the area
required to support a septic system, and will vary based upon each Iocabon's so~ls The
remalmng land w~thin those areas would remain as agncultural uses
5 W~thin the Urban and Urbanizing Areas, higher density residenbal patterns would be
allowed to occur
6 These areas could be developed as "Neighborhood Centers" that are developed ;n an
~nwardly onented manner with a focus upon the center of the neighborhood These
developments would be established ~n a manner that locates the center of the
neighborhood w~th~n a 5 to 10 minute walk;ng distance from the edge of the neighborhood
The center would contain uses necessary to support the surrounding neighborhood
~ncluding rata~l uses such as convemence grocery, barbers, or small profess;onat offices,
h~gher density residential uses such as townhomes, park uses ~nclud~ng central
neighborhood "greens" and ~nstitut~onal uses such as fire stations, schools, I~braries and
transit nodes The m~x of uses identified to support each neighborhood may be developed
~n a vertical manner w~th shops on the ground floor and offices or residences on the upper
floors
7 Future residential development w~th~n established res~denhal areas would be developed in
a manner that responds to the ex~st~ng res~denbal development w~th compabble land uses
and patterns The plan recommends that ex~stmg neighborhoods w~th~n the C.ty be
protected and preserved
6
8 The center of the ~nflll development would be in the downtown d~stnct where preservation,
restorebon, redevelopment and ~nflll would be the focus Also, ~t ~s recommended that the
C~ty consider creating "Umvers~ty D~stncts" at UNT and TWU These d~strmts would focus
on developing compatible, supporting land uses adjacent to the umvers~bes
9 Multi-family residential development w~ll be accommodated ~n the plan ~n a variety of
forms Many of the detenorabng apartments adjacent to the umvers~bes could be
renovated or redeveloped as new student housing m order to better support the needs of
UNT and TWU Add~bonally, other types of mulb-fam~ly development should be
considered w~th~n the C~ty such as townhomes It ~s recommended that mulb-fam~ly
development be located ~n areas that provide transitions between lower and h~gher
~ntenslty uses, and m a manner that w~ll not negabvely ~mpact surrounding uses
Additionally, mulb-fam~ly uses should be located in small groupings around the c~ty m a
manner that prowdes a m~x of uses and denslbes, rather than concentrabng all mulh-fam~ly
uses in one area which can have negative ~mpacts upon the C~ty
10 Future commem~al uses are accommodated m the plan at key nodes throughout the C~ty
The plan recommends that commem~al uses not be located conbnuously along corridors ~n
a "Stnp" manner
11 Bus~ness would be accommodated ~n the plan ~n several areas At the ~ntersect~on of
Loop 288 and IH 35, the plan calls for an urban center Th~s center would be a m~xed-use
center conta~mng office, retail, and h~gh-dens~ty res~denbal uses Th~s center could also
~nclude some research or technologmal uses that would be compabble w~th the acbv~bes at
the umvers~t~es A second urban center south of the mtersecbon of Loop 288 and IH 35E
could contain medically related offices w~th a m~x of suppod~ng uses A third urban canter
on the south s~de of town would be located at the C~ty's ETJ along IH 35 west Th~s center
would probably develop after the first two urban centers and could support general office
uses or acbwties supporting Alhance A~rport
12 In order to support the proposed urban centers, and to prowde additional support for the
Umvers~bes, the plan proposes that the C~ty consider extending the ex~stmg runway at the
airport to 7500 feet m length in order to accommodate business jets W~th th~s expansion,
~t ~s proposed that the areas ~mmed~ately adjacent to the a~rport be reserved for ~ndustnal
uses Industnal uses are typically very compabble w~th airports due to no~se restrictions
Uses within th~s area could ~nclude hght manufactunng uses, d~stnbubon centers, or any
other ~ndustnal uses that are compatible w~th the C~ty's pohc~es regarding environmental
quahty Add~bonally, ex~sbng floodplains m this area could prowde a very effecbve visual
buffer between mdustnal uses and other surrounding uses
13 Wh~le the plan does not specifically ~denbfy Iocabons for future parks and msbtutlonal uses
such as parks and schools, ~t is recommended that these uses be located as reqmred to
adequately support future res~denbai development Add~bonally, ~t ~s recommended that
these uses be located m a manner that encourages commumty braiding w~th~n
neighborhoods The layout of neighborhoods should be in a manner that prowdes focus
upon these fac~l~bes, w~th strong pedestnan links to these fac~hbes from the surrounding
neighborhood, and w~th hnks to the City's regional pedestnan and transportabon systems
14 In all areas, the plan recommends preserving the 100-year floodplain ~n order to prowde
adequate drainage systems, preserve wlldhfe habitats, for passive recreational uses, for
the development of tra~ls systems, and for prowd~ng buffers between mcompabble land
uses
15 The plan recommends further evaluation of the value and function of the natural enwmnment
w~th~n the study area to ~dent~fy areas w~th umque ecological s~gmhcance for conslderat~on on
a more s~te-spec~flc bas~s m the Comprehensive Plan
16 The plan recommends that the C~ty's Urban Design objectives be considered on a more s~te-
specific bas~s ~n the Comprehensive Plan

SMALL AREA PLANNING
Small area planning is an effective way for citizens to become
actively involved in municipal government and the future
growth and development of their community. Small area plans
are produced to address areas m greater detail than the
comprehensive plan and to cover existing characteristics, trends,
issues and opportunities for an area.
A series of specific community plans are proposed to
supplement the comprehensive plan with more detail necessary
to guide everyday community development decisions. The
following small area plans have been completed and adopted:

L INTRODUCTION
The Review Process
Small area planmng is a process that prowdes analysis, recommendations, and implementation
guidelines for a specific area of Denton A small area planning document Is produced to address areas
in greater detml than the comprehensive plan and to cover existing characteristics, trends, Issues, and
opportunities for the area Through a review process with residents, business owners and other
stakeholders m a specific area, a framework of recommendations on future land use, transportation,
and public improvements are formulated Tlus framework will assist decision-makers m making
decisions and will guide the case-by-case development of an area
A small area plan may be for a neighborhood, a business district, a corridor, or a new public facility
site Requests for small area plans may come from many sources including City Council, the Planning
and Zomng Commission, the Denton Policy Committee (DPC), and cmzens Once a conceptual small
area planmng document is developed and presented for public comment, it will be forwarded to City
Council for rewew and adoption by resolution
Cmzens are revolved m the small area planning process from the earliest stages Cit~zans have the best
understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of tbeut neighborhood The small area plaunmg process
provides citizens with an opportumty to present reformation and facts to the City Council, Planning
and Zomng Commission, and other appointed boards and commissions The development of small
area plans allows the public an opportimity to become better educated about the planning process
Because small area planning is an interdisciplinary approach to planning, it also relies on the
cooperation of all City of Denton deparhuents and other governmental entitles However, the success
of any small area plan depends on the involvement of rasldents, business owners, landowners and
other stakeholders Refer to Flgure l, p.2.
Project Goals and Objectives
There are a number of guals and objectives for the small area planning process The goals and
objectives relate to the planning process and not the actual plan They are
· Assist residents and busmessas m developing priorities and strategies to stimulate rewtahzatlon
and remvestment m the area
· Involve citizens m a community planning process that fosters active participation and
leaderslup
· Present existing conditions and trends to provide a picture of the planning area
· Identify strengths and concerns of residents, merchants and other stakeholders within the area
· Enable stakeholders to share ideas and suggestions about their commumty
· Promote understanding of the process and enthusiasm for further participation m later stages of
problem solving and plan implementation
FIGURE 1: FRY STREET SMALL AREA PLAN PLANNING PROCESS
Relationship To The Comprehensive Plan
Thc Fry Street Small Area Plan is thc first m a series of speclflC community plans to bmld on the work
of the Denton Comprehensive plan, which is currently under review The comprehensive plan sets a
framework for planning and strategy development for the entire City of Denton The small area plans
supplement tho comprehensive plan with more detail necessary to guide everyday community
development decisions
[iow To Use This Document
This document is the Fry Street commumty's image of its future It was prepared w~th the
involvement and help of the community Neighborhood residents, bnsmess patrons, property owners,
visitors and business people shared their evenings and afternoons to help craft a meaningful document
This plan represents their combined efforts to enhance and preserve the Fry Street area
As a response to issues identified by the community, this plan represents a determination to pursue
goals and visions established by and for the Fry Street study area The goals lay the foundation for
achievmgthekmdofcommumtythisplanenvlslons This plan contams 19 goal statements, which
deal with solid waste services, transportation, safety, commumty aesthetics and character, culture and
the neighborhood These goal statements identify what the commumty wants to achieve Because
goals cannot be achieved without a clearly defined plan of action, this plan also contains
recommendations that identify the course of action necessary to aclueve the commumty's goals
Furthermore, to help ensure accountabihty for implementation of the recommendations, an
organization or agency has been assigned responsibility and is identified in the implementation section
of flus document
This document should be used to help guide public and private development and remvestment
decisions made m the City of Denton's Fry Street area over the next several years These decisions
must contmue to derma, shape and improve the character of the Fry Street area and positively affect its
snstamabthty
This plan includes
· A briafhistory of the Fry Street area's development
· A review of existing conditions m the Fry Street area
· Recommendations to facilitate area improvements
· An "action plan" identifying specific prelects end funding sources for area nnprovements
In order to foster commumty-wide support and effective maintenance of the plan and its goals,
continued involvement of area stakeholders and Denton citizens is critical All Denton residents must
know that the concerns and issues addressed m this plan are not solely concerns and problems of the
Fry Street area, separable from the rest of Denton They are everyone's concern The Fry Street plan
Is designed to provide realistic and feasible recommendations for the revitalization of the area
However, to be realistic, the plan recogmzes the limitations of public financmg resources and the need
for new partnerships between public agencies and the commumty, in which the commumty takes a
greater responsibility for its revitalization

1I. AREA BOUNDARIES AND OVERVIEW
Location
The ~mt~al stage of the plan's development ~nvolved a survey created by the Small Area Planmng staff
that asked merchants, residents, property owners and customers to ~dentlfy the Fry Street study area
boundary The results of the boundary survey indicated that the Fry Street Devalopment Corporation's
boundary would be the plan's study area Staff agreed that a larger area covering Census Tracts 207
and 210, both block groups 1 and 2 would be designated as the area impacted by the small area plan
reconunendatlons Th~s impact area ~s also the notification area and includes the Oak/H~ckory H~stonc
D~smct and UNT Refer to Figure 2-4, pgs 4-6.
For purposes of th~s study, the Fry Street planmng area ~s defined as the area bounded by Welch Street
to the east, Oak Street to the north, Ave B to the northwest, Ave A to the southwest and Mulberry
Street to the south The Fry Street plannmg area ~s approyamately ~A mde from downtown Denton,
Texas and th~s area contmns approximately 12 42 acres Geograptucally, the terrmn of the plan area
slopes to the southeast to Garza-L~ttle Elm Reservmr Refer to Figure 4, pg. 6.

And Areas
History
A lustory of the Fry Street area's development is closely associated w~th the early beg~rmings of the
University of North Texas In 1891, the Texas Normal College, known today as The Umverslty of
North Texas, opened its first building m the Fry Street Area Hickory Street bound the original
campus on the north, Sycamore Street on the south, Avenue B on the west end Avenue A on the east
There were nearly 185 students attending at tim time
Residential development m the Fry Street area (mainly Oak and Hickory Streets) is slgmficant to
Denton's tustory end was impacted by the Umversity of North Texas campus The first major
residential area of Denton is believed to have been south of the square The second, dunng the 1880s,
was east of the square, between the square and the new rmlroad The tlurd, greatly influenced by the
presence of the Texas Normal College, occurred between the square and the new campus, down Oak
end Hickory Streets and included today's Fry Street area A few elaborate houses end churches
existed m the area, however by the 1900s and after, the most attractive new residential area, which
included the more elaborate houses m Denton, was west of the square end around the Fry Street area
Another influence on the attractive residential development of this area was the Denton Fmr
Associat~on, which was orgamzed on May 16, 1895 The Fmr Assocmtion acqmred a tract of lend for
the fmr grounds wtuch occupied roughly the area between Welch Street and Avenue A end extended
southward from West I-hckory Street to Mill Street There were almost no homes west and south of
the fmr grounds before 1900 After the Normal College became a state mstitution there was increased
demand for braiding lots m the neighborhood of the College The Denton County Faut Association
abendoned the grounds and the lend was sold as residential lots After that, many new homes were
bmlt m the n~lghborhood By 1909, West Oak and Hickory Streets had become the favorite area for
fine palatial homes and soon thereafter had more residences than the older parts of tbe town This area
of posh homes along West Oak end Hickory Streets ~s referred to as the Oak-Hickory Historic District
Wlule mfluencmg upscale residential development m the area surroundmg the college and west of the
square, UNT's presence also brought about u'reversible changes to the residentml mtegnty end
character of the ue~ghborhoods m the of the Oak-Hickory area Wlule the exact date is not known, a
number of the houses on Oak end Hickory Streets m the Fry Street area were tom down end a number
of commercial establishments had began to infiltrate the area between Carroll Boulevard end Welch
Street Changes m UNT's student body enrollment also affected changes m the residential make-up
end character of the area
By 1901, the student body had risen to 781 and by 1923, the school's population had increased to
4,736 As student enrollment continued to rise, the demend for student services also grew In order to
meet this demand, busmass houses for college trade were established along Avenue A end Hickory
Streets m what would later be referred to as the Fry Street Area This area consisted mostly of
commercial development between Oak and Hickory from Welch to Avenue C, end mteuslve, privately
owned, student apartment developments Today, the Fry Street area is primarily commercial
Voerh~Len's Teacher College Store opened along Hickory Street m 1925 This three-story bmldmg
originally served as a boarding house for female students Voertmen's and the Eagle Drugstore,
located near the comer of Avenue A end Hickory were popular student hangouts in the 1940s Today,
Voeaman's IS a well-estabhsbed commercml
anchor operating m the area as a college
bookstore Undeveloped lots were
numerous along FU Street ~d were
eventually developed into stall corner
grocery stores, drug stores and various ,
eating estabhshments ~'
By the 1940s, there were a few homes remmnmg along Avenue A between H~ckory and Mulberry
Streets These homes were eventually converted for business purposes In 1944, Joe's Cleaners,
another long standtng bus~ness, opened m a 14 x 19 sq i~ space which has since been converted and
rebuilt m the location that it is
presently ~n today Also by the
1940s, H~ckory Street and Avenue A
qmckly became a favome spot for all
students to SOClahze It became
known as the "Corner" and has stnce
become an mstttutton on the campus
The streets ~n the area dunng th~s
t~me were appropriately called
"Collegetown"
~1 he Fry Street area also played a }, ~'~!~ ~ ~27}
s~gmficant role m transportation
advances made m the C~ty of Denton
In 1896, a franchise for a street radway was granted by the c~ty In 1900, an electric streetcar hne ran
h'om the railroad depot along East H~ckory to the square, then out Oak to Fry Street, where ~t jogged to
H~ckory The hne went out H~ckory to Avenue C, south to Eagle, and then to H~ghland Park The
connection of tMs system w~th the railroad and an interurban railroad prowded an ~mportanthnkage
between Dallas and Denton and it also promded eeonormcal and efficient transportation w~thm the C~ty

..IMPACT AREA
Demographacs and Socioeconomic Profile
With any planmng activity, It ls necessary to review current conditions m order to determine Wends
taking place By doing so, the C~ty can better effectively face future Issues and problem areas to be
addressed m a small area plan At the present tune, the most complete and reliable source of
demograptuc mformat~on ~s the U S Department of Commerce, Bureau of Census Enumeraaon The
census bureau prowdas ~ts most comprehensive package of population and demograpluc mformat~on
every ten years Geographical areas known as standard metropohtan statistical areas (SMSA), block
numbering areas (BNA), and census tracts group census data Census tract data ~s further aggregated to
a block group level
The Fry Street study area ~s located west of downtown Denton and is part~ally located m Census Tract
207, block group 2 and Census Tract 210, block group I Since block group data ~ the most
aggregated data available from the Bureau of Census Enumeration, a demographic and
socioeconomic prof'de of just the Fry Street study area ~s not pouible. However, a profile of the
unpact area is pnss~ble The ~mpact area includes block groups 1 and 2 from both Census Tract 207
and Census Tract 210 Refer to Ftgure $, pg. $
The data and geograpluc areas d~ffer from decenmal periods Therefore, a comparison of 1980 and
1990 block groups ~s not possible Demograpluc and soclo-econom~c mfurmatmn presented m tlus
plan only includes selected 1990 block group data and as a tool for comparison, 1990 City of Denton
census statistics are also provided Refer to Table 1, pg. 11
Population
Population Is constantly changing and statmt~cs covering a span of 10 years are not generally up to
date, especially m the latter part of the decade However, the unpact area has been mostly a college
area since the 70's and wlule students tend to be transmonal m tlus area, ~t can be reasonably argued
that the demograpiuc compos~tmn and makeup of the student poptdat~on remains relatively the same
The composition of the unpact area mrrrors the City's population make-up In 1990, the unpact area
population totaled 6,201 The majority of the population m the unpact area was between the ages of
18-34 (84 5%) Blacks and H~spamcs made up only 7 4% and 9 2%, raspect~vely wlule Wlutes
accounted for 75% of the area's population The 1990 population for the City of Denton was 66,270
The majority of the population was between 18-64 and predominantly White (78%) Blacks and
H~spamcs accounted for 18 % of the population
Housmg
The number of dwellings totaled 1,907 for the xmpact area E~ghty-nme percent are occupied and the
remaining 11% are vacant The ~mpact area contained substantially more renter.occupied housing
umts Approximately 90% of the occupied umts were renter-occupled

Socto-economtc Characteristics
The average median family income for the ~mpact area was $23,185 Because of the large UNT
student population living throughout the ~mpact area, 23% of the area residents hved below poverty

FRY STREET STUDY AREA
Land Use
The pattern of land use in the Fry Street study area is all array that resembles older parts of many
cities It contains both non-res~dential and residential development that ~s an eclectic m~x of homes,
businesses and services Refer to Figure 5, pg. 13
The Fry Street study area's residential population Is comprised mostly of tenants and renters, with only
one owner-occupied home remaining The Fry Street area's residential development consists
primarily of small-scale apartments, usually 2 to 8-umt bullthngs These multi-family units are located
on Fry, Hickory and Mulberry streets There Is a large concentration of smgle-fam~ly uses
immediately outside the Fry Street study area in the area identified as the impact area The majority of
the multi-family dwelhngs m the Fry Street and surrounding areas were originally built as s~ngle-
family owner-occupied homes However, many of them are currently leased The Oak-Hickory
h~stonc district is Immediately east of the Fry Street study area and the Umvers~ty of North Texas
campus is immediately south
Most of the Fry Street area is composed of non-residential, commercial development
Commercial/retail uses m the Fry Street area are directed towards the Umvers~ty market and include
uses such as bookstores, restaurants/bars, and general merchandise/serv~ce retml (barber shops, dry
cleaners, etc ) There ~s relatively little office development w~thln the Fry Street area The existing
office uses (First State Bank and The Associates) co-ex~st w~th retail and can be considered another
form of retml/commerclal use Institutional uses fall w~thln the study and impact areas and are
affihated w~th religious organizations and the University of North Texas
There is only one undeveloped lot located w~th~n the Fry Street area This lot fronts Oak and Fry
Streets and is currently owned by the Delta Lodge organization The previous structure, occupied by
Delta Lodge members, burned several years ago At the time of this report, there
are four vacant businesses and one vacant residential dwelhng The vacant bmldmgs are located at
103 Welch, 105 Welch, l 11 Welch and 1109 W Oak The vacant residential dwelling is being used as
storage for the auto repair station located on the corner of Hickory and Welch
12
The erltlCal land use challenge m the Fry Street area is not to accommodate major new development,
but rather to take the necessary smaller steps to revltahze the exlstmg commumty Protection of this
mature urban place is crucial to the stakeholders
Zoning
The Fry Street study area's pattern of land use development is not necessarily representattve of its
zomng pattern There are four zoning districts m the Fry Street area that cover both residential and
non-residential development Refer to Figure 6, pg. 15.
MF-2/Multl-Famlly Residential - The MY-2 district is located m the southeastern comer of the Fry
Street area at Mulberry and Welch Streets This district contams three lots, which includes one mult~-
umt residential dwellmg and the Church of Sesus Christ of Latter Day Samts The Umversity of North
Texas campus, which falls m the impact area, also falls m the MF-2 District The MF-2 Dlsl~ct also
allows certain educational, mstltutlonal and special uses
NS/Neighborhood Service - The NS dismct is immediately north of the MF-2 distnet at the southwest
comer of Hickory and Welch Streets This district mchides the ouly smgle-furmly detached owner-
occupied dwelling, a smgle-famlly detached renter~occupied dwelling, a two-umt multt-fanuly
dwellmg and a four unit multi-family dwellmg The NS zonmg on these properties was meant to
prowde an adequate transition between the eyastmg retail uses on Hickory and the properties to the
south and east Ortgmally, the request to change the zoning to NS was to accommodate an antique
shop m the smgle-famlly dwelling The antique shop was never located m the NS &st~ct
P/Parking - The P distr~ct is located m the southem block of the Fry Street area and Is directly
adJacent to the MF-2 distr~ct The lot was originally zoned MF-1, but m 1969 the property was
rezoned to P Research of the zoning case has not produced sufficient reformation explmmng why the
property was rezoned to P At present, there is a multi-umt residential dwellmg occupying the
property
G1UGeneral Retml - The bulk of the Fry Street area is zoned GR and allows for a variety of
educational, commercial, retml, recreational, entertammant and hrmted resldantml uses A majority of
the area is developed w~th business uses
Building and Development Activity
The normal process of continuous investment, to maintmn the strength of the area's neighborhoods,
has been constramed and limited m much of this area for a number of years There appears to be a
backlog of deferred mmntenance, bothpnvateandpubhc Restoredmvestmentlsneeded Smcethe
area Is essentially land locked, vacant buildings and undeveloped land are few and parking is very
limited, growth and expansion are contained There are no large tracts of land to be developed, urban
services already exist Investment opportunity m this area is mostly for reuse of land or bmldmgs and
m a few cases for redevelopment The recent repavmg of one of the two public off-street parking lots
in the area
14
and the reuse ofa prewously ex,sting mght club ~nto a umque coffee shop do g~ve not,ce of renewed
commitment and ~nterest ~n the Fry Street area Street and utility work and other capital infrastructure
tnvestment, pubhc/pr~vate redevelopment ventures, renewed LINT interest ~n ~ts commumty setting,
and commumty rehabthtat~on ~mtmt~ves will also serve as an ~ndmator of renewed commitment to the
Fry Street area Ways to use the area's attributes and exxstmg resources can preserve and protect
efforts already made, stimulate site and bmld~ng cleanup and prompt restoration work for existing
uses
Parlang
The pattern of land development found ~n the Fry Street area ~s more typmal of downtown Denton than
other general retail d~stncts ~n the c~ty L~ke downtown, ~t predates current zoning regulations too
Th~s pattern of development emphasizes building area and hm~ted parking space It was common that
a structure would occupy the entire lot and that parlang would be located along the street As such,
businesses ~n th~s neighborhood have had a difficult ttme sattsfy~ng parlang regulations In fact, most
of the businesses ~n th~s area prowded off-street parking by leasing parkang spaces on adjacent
properties A rewew of prewous requests by bus~ness and property owners m this area for variances
from parlang regulations reveals the s~te-spemfic parkang problems that have arisen because the Fry
Street area has developed as a bus~ness/customer retail area adjacent to the Umvers~ty of North Texas
Dating back to the early 1970s, there are thirteen (13) variance requests within the Fry Street area ~n
the Zomng Board of AdJustments (ZBA) files E~ght (8) of the requests were approved, one was
temporary ~n length, three (3) were demed, one was tabled and no record exists of it being
reconsidered and one contains no record of a decision The cumulative effect of these variances and
the increasing dependence on the automobile by area residents and students has had a detrimental
effect on parking and transportation ~n the Fry Street area
The Fry Street area, because of ~ts proximity to LINT, is an extremely congested area Furthermore,
most of the estabhshments m this area are not m comphance w~th the C~ty's parking regulatmns
because they are legally nonconforming uses Off-street parkdng opportumt~es for existing or new
businesses do not exist m the Fry Street area and on-street parlang ~s hmlted dunng peak t~mes
Dunng the morning and noon hours, UNT students take much of the metered parking spaces ~n order
to attend classes Their actions usually serve to d~splace customers of the area businesses and other
students to park into the residential areas adjacent to the Fry Street area
On-street parking consists pnmardy of perpendicular and angled head-in metered spaces There are
approximately 106 metered on-street parking spaces The metered on-street parlong ~s regulated for 1-
hour hm~ts There are additional parking spaces w~thout meters located on the south s~de of Oak
Street and the north s~de of Hmkory Street The parlang spaces not metered do not have ttme hmlts
Some however do have "No Parking" restrictions Throughout the Fry Street area, there are over 400
parking spaces
Generally, off-street parking ~s dedicated and signed for private commercial/retail or residential
development Off-street parking in areas other than commercial development is contamed ~n small
lots or headqn parking spaces located adjacent to roadways W~thm Fry Street, only two privately
owned off-street parking lots are avadable for pubhc use at a premmm, offenng a total of 224 off-
16
parking The 110-space Park N' Go lot located behind the buildings on the east side of Ave A is the
other public off-street lot wl~ch has also been leased to shop owners for customer use There is a
charge per day depending on the time of day Contract parking is also offered There is a 22-space lot
for Teacher's World employees and residents of the multi-f~muly dwelling on Hickory Street Other
parking lots include two 10-space lots m the fi.om and back of Joe's Copies, a 45-space lot behind
Voertman's Bookstore and a 126-spaee lot around the Assocmtes Free parking is available for
customers only in these lots Other smaller lots eyast but are for the private use of commercial
customers or members of area churches Towing is strictly enforced m these areas Refer to Figures

IV. AREA ISSUES AND FINDINGS IDENTIFIED
Citazen Participation Review
In the wtnter and spring of 1998, six Fry Street area plan meetings were held at Grace Temple Baptist
Church, which Is located m the impact/notification area The commanlty stakeholders worked with the
Fry Street area team to identify, discuss, refine and resolve community issues The initial commanity
meeting set the tone on how the issues would be established and the necessary City resources
available As mentioned earher m this re
asked merchants, residents ,~ ..... port, part of the planmn roc _ .

Corporation's (FSDC) boundary, a non-profit merchant's association
plan's study area tn the Fry Street area, is the
Two separate surveys were designed, one for area residents, merchants and property owners and
another for area customers There were a total of 900 Surveys mailed and/or hand delivered Of this
total, 800 were resident/merchant surveys and 100 were customer surveys
A total of 55 surveys (6 11%) were returned Of the 800 resident/merchant/property owner surveys
sent out, 45 (5 6%) were returned Of the 100 customer surveys sent out, I0 (10%) were returned A
break down of the total number of responses received is as follows
45 RESIDENT/MERCHANT/PROPERTy OWNER SURVEYS (45 ofss.~81 8%)
22 RESIDENTS (22 ot 4~-~49%)
13 RENTERS
9 HOMEOWNERS
8 MERCHANTS (8 of 45=18%)
8 PROPERTy OWNERS (8 of 4~=18,/o)
7 DELTA LODGE MEMBERS
l0 CUSTOMER SURVEYS (lO of 10o=i0%) (10 of $$=18 2%)
From the survey, the top six concerns and strengths were identified The top concerns, three tied for
fourth place, are sanitation, parking, socml offenses and safety, alcohol and drugs, property
maintenance and traffic The top strengths are safety, diversity, amenities, proximity, retad/servlce
and cultural identity Round table discussions uath area stakeholders were held to discuss the concerns
and strengths The community meetings served to gather information about the "health status" of the
community Residents and business people discussed facts and perceptions ofcommumty conditions
These insights proved vital m developing strategies to revltahze the Fry Street area
During the discuss;OhS, common themes became apparent Three major topic areas surfaced physical
conditions, social conditions and commun;catlon
22
Stakeholder Identified Area Issues nnd Concerns
The cond~tton of the Fry Street Area 18 of ongoing interest to area stakeholders, which include The
Umvers~ty of North Texas, the Fry Street Development Corporation, merchants, business and property
owners and the C~ty of Denton Among the most fi'equent ~tems noted by residents are physical
appearance and condition of fac~ht~es and streets m the area Profound blight is absent from the Fry
Street area Th~s Is not an area of desperate deterioration, but one of stubborn and persistent pride
There are, however, many examples of unappeahng physical condtt~ons m the Fry Street and
surrounding vic~mty, mcludtng boarded up structures, graffiti, litter, furmture m yards and poor
dumpster matntenance Many of the meeting participants believe that neighborhood cleanup, stronger
code enforcement and better tenant screening are acttons needed for positive change m the area Other
~ssues include traffic hazards, street hghts for security m addition to traffic movement, s~dewalk
repairs and protectton of natural and cultural resources Refer to Figure 10, pg. 25.
Social concht~ons tnclude concerns of crime, delivery of social serwces and commitment of
commumty resources Better control of vandshsm, pubhc intoxication and drug crimes were high on
the list ofpubhc concerns, w~th the pamc~pants assigtnng a high priority to crime control Many area
residents are sensitive about w~despread perceptions of the commumty as one of cr~me, transience and
disinvestment There ~s wtdespread behef that furore mvestmants w~ll be suppressed by such stlgrnas
Suggestions include increased police presence and greater sensitivity tn pohce-commumty relations
A few area stakeholders called also for a need for neighborhood-oriented private tnvestment and for
development of the vacant lot at Fry and Oak Streets
A slgmficant finding dunng the entu-e small area planning process was the lack of commumcatlon
among mchviduals, groups and agencies Stakeholders revealed a strong desire to improve reformation
flow Better commumcation Is needed between City of Danton and Fry Street residents, government,
bustnesses and mstitut~ons, and between landlords and tenants m the Fry Street area Hope for
improved merha ~mages of the Fry Street area for coverage of positive news was expressed repeatedly

Samtation/Sohd Waste Services
Issues
Litter
Lack of City assistance
Inadequate dumpster service and perception of poor maintenance, appearance and location
Stakeholder Senttments
Sanitation is the top concern of Fry Street area stakeholders Ofpartlcnlar concern is litter, over filled
garbage containers and the perceived Jack of City maintenance ot area dumpsters, trasheans and street
maintenance L~tter often
accumulates ~n parking lots, on
streets, sidewalks and utd~ty
poles when dumpsters are
above capacity, and around
dumpsters and merchant's
shops The Fry Street Fmr ~s
identified as a malor contributor
to the area's htter and
sanitation problems Clean-up
following the fmr ~s often days
to a week later Private
property Is often soded and
desecrated dunng the weekend
oftbe falr
Although new trashcans were
placed throughout the area m
August 1997, they are ctted as
unsightly and m need ol
replacing Many trashcans are
melted and contain holes
Trashcans have been observed
to be above capacity by 5 00
p m on weekdays and Saturdays The fact that the C~ty provides sol,d waste services for the trashcans
on the Square, but not ~n the Fry Street area also concerns stakeholders
The appearance of the area dumpsters is also unsightly and m need of replacing Stakeholders complain
that a couple o~ the dumpsters m the area block sidewalks and parts of some streets The solid waste
containers are not shielded from street mew which is not only a health issue when they are over filled,
but can cause traffic problems by decreasing vlsibihty Pedestrians often have to go around dumpsters
on the sdewalks
Although solid waste users determine the collection schedule, the tnfrequency of the dumpster
collection concerns area stakeholders The majority of the collectton concerns are assocmted w~th the
dumpsters located on Fry Street and the dumpsters located behind the shops on Fry Street A number
26
of the merchants using the dumpsters and causing them to overflow are currently not paying for
services Stakeholders want to see the City take a stronger position by requu:mg additional dumpster
collection Refer to Figure 11, pg. 28.
The streets in the area are often dirty
and filled with trash and debris
Because only one street sweeper
exists for the entire C~ty o! Denton,
the frequency ol street sweeping m
the Fry Street area is observed once a
month
There are a number ofutdlty and light
poles located ~n the Fry Street area
The prohferat~on of handballs attached
to the poles contributes to the httered
appearance of the area Several
stakeholders desire to see the
complete ehmlnat~on ofutlhty poles ~n
the area to prevent handbill posting
Refer to Figure 12, pg. 29.
According to stakeholders, centrally
located compactors are immediate
~~~a~~~~s~oz~r~v~s~ solutions to dumpster concerns
Security and lack of space for compactors are ~dent~fiable obstacles Another approach to address the
trasheans ~s strategically placing s~dewalk comamers, s~mdar to those located on the square, m the area
It is recogmzed that C~ty officials and area merchants will need to agree on who w~ll serwce the
containers and the frequency of collection

Parl~mg and Traffic
Issues
More public parking needed
Meters inadequate
Assigned or reserved parking
Poor traffic control
Proliferation ofdehvery trucks blockmg lanes
Automobile accidents
Left turn signal lights needed
Stakeholder Sentunents
Stakeholders believe that the available parking resources do not effectively serve the needs oftbe area
The problem of students parking m merchant-customer spaces during the day, the lack of hand~cap
parking, and metered parking all top the hst of parking concerns Parking m the
area is further aggravated by the l-hour meter
lin'uts The 1-hour meters appeal to many UNT
students who would rather park closer to ~,~, -
classrooms than in designated UNT parking
~aeihtles Otten, UNT tacihtles are more
and are more removed from classes and
expensive
the campus than the metered and non-metered
spaces City entorcement oftbe meters ~s limited
and students are very much aware o~ this In
many cases, students have been observed parking
in metered span. es well m excess et the I-hour
hmlt without being fined '~ "~'"'~ " '
Handicap parking Is hmlted m the area There are a total of two handicap-parking spaces Both of these
spaces are located m front oftbe businesses on Ave A The spaces, wlule ldentffied as handicap, are
not very maneuverable and movement m and out of these spaces Is difficult and restrictive
In addition to parking problems associated with UNT students, according to some merchants, the City's
present parking requirements prevent the expansion ofexlstmg busmesses Parking requu'ements also
lntubit many opportumties for new and different kinds ofbusmesses to locate m the area The City
reqmres a specified number of off-street parking spaces for certain commercially zoned properties Ifa
proposed new use is more intensive than the existing legally non-conforming use, additional parking is
requn~.d However, as mentioned earlier, off-street parking opportumties sunply do not eyast m the Fry
Street area Refer to Ftgures 7 & 8, pgs. 18 & 19.
In addition, stakeholders indicated that the need for designated traffic areas, including bicycle corridors,
and the prohferation ofdehvery trucks blocking streets m the area are key traffic concerns The narrow
traffic lanes on Fry St/Ave A are the most vrsible concerns regarding traffic Traffic congestion m this
area mcludes large alcohol delivery trucks blocking traffic lanes at peak circulation periods, automobiles
entering and exiting the angled metered parking spaces (flus parking strip is best
30
suited to serve traffic flowing
northbound), and jaywalking to and
from the UNT campus The
d~st~nct~on between pedestrian and
automobde zones is less apparent In
th~s area and makes for a dangerous
environment
Increased speeding along Hickory,
Ave A and Fry Streets also
contributes to traffic congestion
the area The lack of warnings
other v~sual indicators to alert
motorists that the area ~s baghly
pedestrian-oriented IS also a
perceived traffic concern
Sidewalks m the area are not user-frtendly
Many ol the s~dewalks are cracking and are
uneven Handicap access~bd~ty ~s ~nadequate
and ~s further ~mpeded by the poorly
matmamed s~dewalks People are also -
spending more tune on the s~dewalks
iratermz~ng, relaxing, entertaining and
hngermg mmlessly than ~s considered
desirable
Parking and traffic strategies include one-way
designation of some key two-way streets, the
clear,on of loading zones, hunting parking,
reqmnng parking permits for all UNT
students, parkmg variances and hm~ted parking ~ns~de the Fry Street area Increased commumcat~on
and interaction with UNT ~s erucml

$ocml Offenses/Safe~y
Issues.
Loitering/Vagrancy/Panhandling
Vandalism
Juvemle dehnquency
Attraction of "bad crowd" element
Increased protection against crime
Stakeholder Sentiments
As observations of the area indicate, the Fry Street area is not only a "hangout" for college students,
but high school and middle school students, transients, runaways also Fnnge groups frequent the area
as well Lmtenng, panhandling, vandalism and juvenile delinquency are key concerns There aren't
any laws that specifically address loltenng and panhandling and this makes it difficult for police to
monitor and enforce these offenses Vandahsm is being addressed and minimized to a greater degree
vath the presence of the Fry Street commumty center
According to Denton police, juvenile delinquency has seen a marked decline since the community
office was located on Fry Street However, there are still concerns regarding the absence of a teenage
curfew Teenagers have been observed to regularly hangout in the area well after midnight
Stakeholders lndmate that 24-hour staffing of the police sub-station might reduce or completely
eliminate illegal activities by teenagers and others in the area
Another safety issue is lighting in the area While lighting has increased over the years, there are a
number of dark corridors The Park N'Go lot, the area near the Zebra House and the area
between Jack in the Box and Bans Restaurant are identified as darkly lit and potentially unsafe areas
Additional safety strategy recommendations include UNT police assistance wth patrolling the area
and a commitment by the City to provide additional lighting ~n dark comdors
Alcohol and Drugs
Issues
Public dnnklnghntoxlcatlon
Underage dnnl~ng
Illicit drug use and distribution
Stakeholder Sentiments
Public drmkdng and intoxication, underage drinking, and Driving Under the Influence (DUI's) are area
concerns While it ~s legal to dnnk in public, according to police, the presence of full-time officers
and new laws deahng w~th drug and alcohol enforcement have greatly reduced the incidence of pubhc
intoxication and underage dnnkang As in most other cities, drug use and distribution are more
difficult to control because there is such a high demand for drugs One of the objectives of the two
full-time officers that work the Fry Street area Is to maintain continued pressure on the supply end
There have been occasional "stings" and drug busts According to area Stakeholders, these activities
must continue and must be increased
32
Other opportumtles revolve ereatmg a working relat~onslup with local and college newspapers to write
articles on drug tragedtes and posatlve drug prevention act~vmes, estabhshmg a memorial m the Fry
Street area of xactums who have succumb to the detrimental effects of drug use and d~Strlbut~on and
expanding the "tam sermce" concept offered by the owners of Cool Beans and Lucky Lou's
Property Maintenance
Issues
Poor property maintenance
Ddap~dated bmldmgs
Stakeholder Santnnents
Graffit~ and dflapadated structures are the mam [ssues related to property maintenance concerns Upkeep
by property owners and renters and commumeatlon between neighbors, tenants, merchants, etc ~s
severely lacking Some renter-occupied ,~.~.~ ~.~.~.,~.~.~,~*~
properties m the area are ~danttfied as not being
pamcularly well maintained Trash and debris
removal, painting and some structural repatrs are
needed to maprove these properties Poor
property maintenance lessens the appeal of the
Fry Street area and ~t also serves to rem_foree the
general populace In addition to res~dentml dwellings,
there are also a number of shops m the area that are m
need of cleaning and painting
5~.~,~.~ ~, ~¥~j~ .~, The undeveloped property owned by Delta Lodge on the
~[~& 2)~{~' ~ ~ ~'~ ,~ comer of Fry and Oak Streets also may be problematic
u~a~a~.~.~o~o~r~ In the long-1 erm absence of development, the lot ~s a
potential meeting place for loitering, trash accmulatlOn and vagrancy
Stakeholders suggest the adoption of an "Ugly Spot Of The Month" and a "Most Beautiful Spot Of The
Month" within the Fry Street study area to encourage better property maintenance and upkeep
33
society, to the eclectic, the student, the professional and even the elite The people who frequent and
work in the area are typically laid back and often feel free to express their indiwduahty D~fferences
are celebrated and encouraged
The Fry Street area ~s also unique because it caters to a multitude of interests Visitors of the area will
find that while Fry Street nurtures social d~vers~ty, music and art also play important roles m the area's
identity Fry Street is considered an arts/business district w~th a liberal attitude and is definitely one of
the main hubs of Denton life
Another esteemed quahty is the different face and character of the Fry Street area during the day and
the night Dunng the day, the area is a meeting place for students to gather and philosophize on the
intellectual dtlemma of the day, it ~s a stage for artists to ,,howcase their works and their talents and It
is a center for shopping and spectator actiwt~es At night the Fry Street area transforms and becomes
a large arena for partying and celebrating It ~s a place for those of legal age to drink socially, openly
and spmtedly a place of unabashed indulgence
For this kind of diversity to continue to thrive ~n the Fry ~'Street area, safety is needed The Fry Street
area must maintain its sense and perception of safety in order to draw d~verse groups and to prevent
future problems
According to stakeholders, ways to address and improve on Cityw~de perceptions and reservations
about the Fry Street image include keeping the community center open to serve as an information
center for visitors, fostenng cultural d~vers~ty wth additional music venues and artistic impressions
and reinforcmg that the Fry Street area Is not just a mght-time area

Walkable
Convemence of food, fun and relaxation
Variety of shops, services and activities
Short d~stance to UNT Campus
Shops/Stores for basic essentials vathin a few yards of each other
Stakeholder Sentiments
Food, fun and entertainment are all located wathin close proximity in the Fry Street area The
closeness and convenience of UNT, the various restaurants, clubs and shops in the area are also
attractive features of the Fry Street area according to area stakeholders The Fry Street area is
approximately 18 9 acres which ~s relatively small and contained At a normal pace, it takes less than
20 minutes to walk the entire perimeter of the Fry Street area boundary Refer to Ftgure 9, pg 21.
The Fry Street area bas;cally serves as a downtown area tor UNT Every imaginable amenity and
convenience m the Fry Street area ~s w~thln walkang d~stance Fry Street demzens, college students
and wsttors are not forced to travel to outside of the area to shop, drink, and eat or for entertmnment
Because there is a diverse m~x of uses (businesses, housing and a state institution) m the Fry Street
area, there is httle need to rely so heavily on automobdes for daily needs
35
The streets m the Fry Street area bustle wtth pedestrians, students, residents and shoppers tn
automobiles, dehvery trucks and other transit modes On the whole, automobiles and pedestrians
~nteract wtth unld discomfort While jaywalking ts the norm rather than the excepnon tn the Fry
Street area, there does at least seem to be mutual respect between motorists and pedestrmns ~n clearly
defined pedestrian zones
Recommended enhancements to the Fry Street area ~nclude passing a handbill ordinance to address the
posting of s~gns on telephone poles, more handmap access~bthty along sxdewalks, underground
utilities, and landscaping along Ave A
The :dca of Avenue A and Fry Street as one-way streets appeals to many of the stakeholders Thru
will allow loadtng areas on one s~de of the street and thereby decrease the potential for accidents
Improwng s~dewalk cond~Uons, making pedestrian crossings more ws~ble by repamtmg or mstalhng
flashing hghts along Hmkory and Oak Streets. and the creanon of an ord:nance that prohibits s~tt~ng,
layxng, or rechmng on sxdewalks dunng specffic hours are all aenons that will xnsure a safe. walkable
community according to area stakeholders
Bmldmg and ma~ntmmng a relaUonsh~p w~th UNT to develop a b~cycle pathway arotmd the Umvers~ty
will also serve to strengthen the appeal of the area to transit users

salons, pool halls, tattoo shops, dry cleaners, a local convemence store, etc Busmesses that are unhke
other businesses and that are not found elsewhere m the Ctty can be found tn the Fry Street area
Businesses that offer a variety of eclectic g~ft ttems, water p~pes, and full service body p~ercmg and

area have survived over the years due to the unique ~tems sold, the locahty and became the busxnesses
prowde consmtent and affordable prices
Fry. Street area clubs, bars and stores are also on equal footing anth entertmnment estabhshments ~n
surrounding crees The shops and clubs ~n the Fry Street area cater mostly to a college chentele, but to
various other patrons as well Patronage of the Fry Street mghtclub hfe ~s further reded by extended
alcohol sales hours Entertmnment seekers are not fomed to choose Dallas, Fort Worth and other
surrounding areas over Denton Many of the college stakeholders lndmate that the entertmnment
atmosphere provtded by the Fry Street area promotes safety and respons~bthty because people stay m
Denton rather than travehng the dangerous ~nterstates after a few dnnks late at mght Popular musical
acts perform ~n the Fry Street area and are more than hkely attracted to the area because the

Stakeholder Sentiments
A sub-culture exists ~n the Fry Street area While Clty-w~de appreciation, understandxng and support
of th~s sub-culture appears laclang, there is a strong need and desire by the Fry Street stakeholders to
mmntmn the eclectm feel and ongnnahty of the area It ~s beheved that the social tolerance of those
who frequent the Fry Street area ~s hxgher than ~n other areas of Denton The stakeholders agree that
th~s tolerance must be nurtured and mmntmned People from all walks of hfe are embraced and feel

Recommendations and Implementation Actions
A useful plan for restoration of the Fry Street comm. unl~f's viability requires dual strategies Solutions
wi1 not come easily or qmcldy Obstacles include deep-rooted skepttcism, limited resources available
for remedial efforts and hmited participation and interest by area residents
As first hand evidence of commitment to the Fry Street area, there are a number of actions, which the
City of Denton, the Fry Street Development Corporatmn (FSDC), and The University of North Texas
(LINT) can inmate These actions include solid waste services, parking and traffic circulation,
property maintenance and community aesthetics In many instances, the recommended actions directly
match strategies identified by the stakeholders m the previous section In other instances, the
recommended actiuns are based on detailed analyses provided bY city staff All of the actions
correspond to one or more of the stakeholder strategies previously ldentlfi_,ed Where there is more
than one option available, the preferred recommendation is identified by~
ORGANIZATIONAL
Recommended Actions:
F~rst, the plan recommends a pubhc-pnvate partnership between the City of Denton, the University Of
North Texas and the Fry Street Development Corporation The City roll be the catalyst by lmUatmg
the Fry Street area improvements Specifics of this recommendation are discussed under the Parlong
and Traffic reconunendatlons, PT- 14/PT- 15
Second, to accomplish the above recommendation, the plan further recommends the creation of a
special Fry Street Zoning Overlay District and a Fry Street Public Improvement District (FSPID) A
Special Dlstrlot and a PID formation are discussed m detml under the Parking and Traffic
recommendations, PT-4/PT-$ and PT-6
LITTER, BEAUTIFICATION AND SOLID WASTE COLLECTION
The most apparent actions involve solid waste services and include keeping trash, debris and glass
containers out of the area, removal of the dumpsters off the streets and sidewalks to a centralized
location, screemng of area containers and/or replacement of the dumpsters for c°mpact°rs Area
stakeholders are determmed and committed to cleaning up the image and aesthetics of the area by first
removing the dumpsters from the streets and off the sidewalks
Recommended Actions:
SW-lb A "no glass" container ordinance for the Fry Street Area should be adopted to prevent and
eliminate the prohferat~on of litter by and injury from bottles and other glass containers
Install centralized solid waste facilities to reduce dumpster visibility and improve solid waste service
The following options are available
~1. SW-2/SW-3 The City Solid Waste Department will contact area merchants and property owners to
41
relocate the refuse containers to more centralized areas Customers who are clustered together (by
block) should agree to share solid waste containers and services to enable use of one or two
strategically placed single large units for a number of users Generators would further benefit from
on-premise compaction of solid waste A credit or a discotmt in solid waste rates may be given to
those generators who participate in on-premise compaction Further discussion with the Sohd Waste
Department regarding this item Is needed to determine service details and monthly collection rates
2. SW-4 Solid Waste will replace dumpsters with centrally located compactors T}us is a strategy
that City Solid Waste representatives presented to area stakeholders Use of compactors would
significantly reduce the number of pick-ups required since compaction allows the contmnment of more
trash Solid waste generators will need to work with the Solid Waste Department to determine a
centralized location for the compaeturs Prehmmary cost estimates lnthcate that current solid waste
costs will increase roughly 100%-105% for all generators Since the recommendation was first made,
the Solid Waste Department has re-evaluated this issue, finding that while compactors are designed to
hold more trash, minimize collection frequency and reduce the number of containers m the area, there
are some disadvantages to compactor use Increased odor due to the mfi:equency of collection, watery
discharge from ram and wet garbage increases due to the compactness of the garbage and the costs
associated with placement and service of compactors are slgmficantly lugher for generators than the
present dumpster service may result Concrete remforcemant of driveways for the service trucks,
security lighting and electric utthty connections to the compactors are adthtional costs If centralized
compactors are selected, thc Solid Waste Department will analyze creative financing strategies
and alternatives to pay for the up-front costs and other associated costs.
The strategic grouping of dumpsters rather than compactors is recommended m the three blocks of the
Fry Street study area This proposal and a comparison of centralized dumpsters vs centralized
compactors are provided Refer to Table 2, pg. 44. The strategic grouping of the contmners will
reduce the number of contmners m the area and will reduce the cost of service to many area merchants,
but not every merchant Refer to Figure 13, pg. 47.
Design, specifications and actual location of the contmners (either dumpsters or compactors) will
include access points, concrete drives, concrete pads, revetments, security lighting, etc and will need
to be chscussed and coordinated m greater detail with the City Solid Waste and Planning Departments,
FSDC/FSPID, and UNT
Whichever option is chosen, the Solid Waste Department will provide up to $20,000 m funds, to cover
part of the costs for screening revetments, a concrete drive and a concrete slab and apron for the
containers to be placed on This is above and beyond the basic solid waste services that the City
provides Generators will be responsible for addRlonal funding costs and future maintenance
Furthermore, If a consensus is reached regarding centralized containers, implementation will occur on
a block by block basis Removal of grease refuse containers from the curb and right-of-way will also
be reqmred Grease refuse containers may be located in revetments if separate access is provided
However, the Solid Waste Department will not be responsible for providing service to grease refuse
containers (An increase m solid waste rates will result if Sohd Waste has to clean revetments due to
42
grease refuse )
SW-7 UNT empty area trashcans in exchange for the authority to regulate the parking of vehicles on
public streets in the Fry Street area and surrounding vicinity Amend current contract to include the
streets identified in UNT's proposal Refer to Figure 14, pg. 49. Details of the contract include
language indicating that this arrangement is an interim solution until self-management of the trashcans
by FSDC/FSPID The Solid Waste Department will provide an additional refuse container for the
waste disposal Locatlun of this dumpster °n °ne °f the bl°cks pr°p°sed f°r centrahzed gr°upmg °f
the containers or UNT's physical plant facility wall be evaluated by the Solid Waste Department
To discourage students from parking in the surrounding residential areas due to heightened UNT
enforcement, hang-tags that allow only area residents to park along residential streets are also
recommended
SW-9 The City Solid Waste Department identify all solid waste generators and require service Fully
utilize the enforcement powers of the Solid Waste Ordinance
PARKING AND TRAFFIC
Recommended Actions:
As mentioned previously, there are 2 major organizational actions that must also occur in conJunction
with the pubhc.pflvate partnership recommanded earher The creatlun of a special Fry Street Zoning
Overlay Dismct (PT-4/PT-5) and a Fry Street Public Improvement District (PT-6) is recommended
1. PT-4/PT-5 Create a special Fry Street Zoning District designed to aid in revitalization that is
compatible w~th and vail serve to preserve the character of the Fry Street area The Fry Street Zoning
District will set out and establish zoning classification of uses, zoning requirements, including density,
area and belght restnctiuns, sign regulations, parking regulations, including off-street and remote off-
site parking and loading requirements, transit and traffic operations, public ~mprovements, and
aesthetic regulations, including glass container and encampment restrictions and dumpster location
requirements The zoning district and regnlat~ons will only be applicable to the Fry Street area
Specdic reqmrements related to parking and density include the following options
a. Reduce the parking requirements for restaurants and bars in the Fry Street area to one space
for each 200 square feet of floor area or one space for each 6 seats, whichever is greater. This
ratio allows some existing businesses to expand, and a few new businesses to move into the area In
this scenario, ex~stmg business owners have two options First, business owners can retain the current
leases for parking, which allows for future expansion The second option allows the business owner to
cut costs by renegottatlng the parking leases and reducing the number of spaces leased This option
impacts parking availability m the two major parking lots as follows
-Lot south of Hickory/East of Ave A- this option would make available between
7 and 43 spaces on this lot
-Lot north of Hickory/East of Fry Street- this option would make available approximately
50 spaces on this lot

These spaces could be made available to tenants wishing to convert existing structures for uses
other than those for which they currently qualify as a legally non-conforming use Spaces could
also be used for a hm~ted amount of new construction However, the Braiding Inspections
Division would review any new construction that would cause a net loss of available parlang In
the area on a case by case basis This option does not change the fact that two major property
owners control the majority of the available parkang m the Fry Street area It also does not
address the problems with variances, illegally non-conformmg uses, and legally non-cunformmg
uses
or
Qb. A Fry Street Zoning District ~s created (PT-4/PT-5) and all parking requirements in the
Fry Street area wdl be ehminated and density requirements will be established. Density
recommendation' Massing guidelines and Floor to Area (FAR) minimums for new and
existing construction will be developed. Anyone attempting to rezone properties outside
the estabhshed Fry Street Area boundary for purposes of ezpanding the district will be
subject to denial by the Board of Zonang Appeals and the City Council Any residential
property rezoned and converted for any use other than residential, will be required to
increase parking in the District at a ratio of one space for each 200 sq. ft. of floor area to
be converted. This option prevents new development from occumng outside the Fry Street
District, will allow for the expansion of existing businesses vertically and pave the way for
redevelopment in the area A Fry Street Zoning Overlay District will also eliminate the
problems with variances, illegally non-conforming uses, and legally non-conforming uses Also,
by setting density restncttons, the hkehhood of uncontrolled growth m the area is lessened As
is the case with the first option, the Bmldmg Inspections Division would review any new
construction in the Fry Street area on a case by case basis
or
c. Set "area wide" parking requirements and treat the Fry Street area as a single business
entity in relation to parking. This optaon would determine parking requirements for the
entire Fry Street area by comparing the total square footage of ali businesses within the
boundaries of the area to the total number of parking spaces available in the area. The
number of spaces required would be based on a ratio of one space for each 200 sq. ft. of
floor area for restaurant/bars and retad uses and one space for each 300 sq. ft. of floor
area for office uses. This option allows for the expansion of existing businesses and paves the
way for new businesses to locate m the area It also eliminates the current problems with
illegally non-conforming uses and legally non-conforming uses by making all uses conforming
Also, by settmg parking requirements based on certain uses, the hkelthood of uncontrolled
growth in the area Is lessened This option also alleviates the problems associated with the fact
that two property owners control the majority of the parking m the area As ts the case with the
first two options, the Bmldmg Inspections Division would review any new coustmctlon m the
Fry Street area on a case by case basis Also, in instances where new construction or the
conversion of existing structures creates a need for addit~onal parking spaces, the individual or
entity responsible for the increase will work together with the Fry Street District and the City to
5O
seek more joint pai'long
Current Zoning Use Breakdown of the Fry Street Area
(Figures estimated using Arc Explorer)
Square footage Parking Required
Restaurant/Bar 43,000 215
Retml/Servlee 65,500 327
Office/Other 27,500 91
Resldant~al 25,000 N/A
Total Square Footage 161,000 Total Parking Reqmred 633
There are currently 600 parlong spaces m the Fry Street area If the vanences currently granted
m the Fry Street area are factored m, these 600 spaces are more than enough parking to meet the
reqmrements (There are also 69 additional spaces on two lots north of Oak Street, across from
Voertman's and Bart's, wtuch are controlled by Voertman's )
PT-6 Area property owners should petition the City to create a Fry Street Public Improvement
District (FSPID) A PID is a tool, which allows a local government to levy and collect special
assessments on property to finance needed pubhc improvements Area property owners are
assessed additional taxes based on property values for a specified period of Ume The addmonal
taxes are channeled to a Special Improvement District Fund Management of the funds can be
through the City or an appointed PID Board A PID can be effective m promoting resources,
mamtenance, upgrading of mfrastructure and special services, lmprovmg and expanding on the
special character of a neighborhood, enhancmg the identity and visual experience of a
neighborhood and assuring the longevity and maintenance of aesthetic improvements
A prehmlnary assessment of the possible proceeds generated from a Fry Street PID (FSPID)
md~cates approximately $3,000-$4,000/year (assuming a $0 07 per $100 of appraised value)
Ttus amount is not a lugh enough yield to help fund many of the Fry Street improvement
proposals Use of tlus fund to pay principal and interest on bonds that the City might use for
area improvements can demonstrate a wflhngness and commitment to match funding for area
improvements The City's Economic Development Department and the Small Area Planmng
Division will provide orgamzational assistance However, it is additionally recommended
that over the next 3-4 years, the FSPID funds are offset with additional fund raising
activities to raise at least $15,000 per year. This averages $375 per year for each of the 40+
businesses in the area.
51
In addltton, bmldtng owners could also agree to require, of tenants and lessees, dues for services
and needed improvements m the area
LINT provtde additional capital tnvestment assistance for street improvements tn the Fry Street
area
PT-14/PT-15 The City Eng~neenng and Transportation Department develop a traffic
improvement plan for the Fry Street area Reconfigure the traffic circulation on Fry Street,
Avenue A and Mulberry Street to one-way (One-way southbound on Fry from Oak to Htckory,
one-way northbound on Avenue A, westbound on Mulberry from Welch to I-hckory) Where
Avenue A ts offset from Fry Street, change the existing configuratton change to mclude a
pedestnan pavthon/mall Also include sidewalk replacement and expansion, new angled head-m
parlang, additional meter parhng on Oak Street, additional handicap parking spaces, and new
loading zones To lmttate the recommended pubhc-pnvate partnership, the Ctty program
$200,000-$250,000 into the 2000 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget towards these
improvements
FSDC, FSPID and UNT provide streetscape and landscape tmprovements m the area Refer to
Figure 15, pg. 53
Addlttonal one-way opttons are also tdenttfied The "pros" and "cons" of each of these opttons
including the recommended option (option 5) ts explamed tn a cursory analysis on the following
pages Refer to Table 3, pg. 54. Of the six optmns, the Enganeermg and Transportation
Department would prefer either optmn one or three However, because optmn 5 is supported by
a majority of the stakeholders, the Engineering and Transportation Department is willmg to
support tlus option
SOCIAL CONCERNS AND SAFETY
Recommended Actions:
SC-1 FSDC, FSPID and Delta Lodge meet with the mecha to chscuss and develop promotion
strategy and campangn for the area
SC-2 The Ctty Police Department (DPD) program hmlted funding assistance in future Police
Department budgets to include staffing and operation of the Fry Street commumty office Tlus
roll supplement funding by FSDC for the office
SC-5 Denton Police continue to employ the zero-tolerance strategy as long as offenses are
deemed a priority problem
SC-6 FSDC and/or FSPID work with area beer &stnbutors and other business interests to create
a trust/endowment to fund a part-trine employee to staff the commumty office

TABLE 3: RECONFIGUATION OPTIONS FOR FRY STREET AND
AVENUE A BETWEEN MULBERRY AND OAK STREETS
I One-Way Southbound from Oak to Mulberry, and Eastbound from Avenue A to Welch
Positive Negatives
· One-way traffic permits two lanes of travel for the · The etlmmation of two-way traffic can create
entire length of the street, subsequently relieving some confusion for motorist especially the multi-
congestion thousand new motorists that enroll at the University
· One-way traffic makes the concept of angled parking each semester Having a one-way path for the
more feasible because ~t allows maneuvenng room for entire length of Avenue A/Fry would at least
vehicles to pass as parked cars re-enter the stream of provide continuity
traffic · One-way southbound would increase traffic on
· One-way traffic makes the concept of angled parking Welch - northbound, as a motorist would no longer
more feasible because it prevents cars from entenng be able to go north on Avenue A/Fry Streets
parking spaces that are not angled in the direction that the
cars are approaching Also, motorists who tend to use
more than one lane would not cross m the path of vehicles
that are travelling in the opposite direction
· One-way traffic the entire length eliminates some
turning movements at the intersection of Mulberry and
Welch and the intersection of Hickory and Fry and
eliminates head-on movements that exists at Fry/Ave A
and Hickory
· One-way traffic in the same direction across the
intersection of Fry/Ave A and Hickory will permit the use
of two lanes to allow for multiple movements (straight
and left-turn) while simultaneously reducing the amount
of stacking that is necessary at the intersection and
making angled parking more feasible on Fry Street
· The geometry of Ave A lends itself to southbound
flow, as a motorist on Hickory would not have to make a
full mnety-degree turn to enter Ave A
Conclusion There is a net benefit in implementing this option It is possible to increase traffic flow modestly
while optimizing the ability to safely place angled parking onto existing streets

making angled parking more feasible on Avenue A
Conclusion There is a net benefit, mostly the same as tn o itlon one, however the angle of Avenue A at
Hickory lends this to be less beneficial than option one
3 Two-Way from Oak to Welch, Status Quo
Positive Negatives
· Two-way traffic ts a well-known traffic situation · Angled parkmg is qot feasthle because parking
among all facets of the pubbc whether familiar with the maneuverability blocks traffic and leads to an
area or not increase m fender benders There is not an extra
· The cost of implementing status quo ts zero Any other lane to permit traffic to move around a vehicle
situation will reqmre some money · The intersection of Hickory and Fry/A is not a
very good intersection for either automobiles or
pedestrians No one on Fry or Ave A ~s required to
use that intersection at Hickory
· Movements at the existing mtersectlon of Fry/A
and Hickory are conflicting
Conclusion Zero increase tn benefit however, there ts no new cost, and two-way traffic is a familiar situation
to most drivers
55
4 One-Way Southbound on Fry Street from Oak to Hickory, One-Way Northbound/Westbound on
Avenue A/Mulberry from Welch to Hickory, Avenue A, Fry and Hickory intersect in their current
configuration
Positive Negatives
· One-way traffic makes the concept of angled parking · Because there is a mandatory turning movement,
more feasible for the mid-block areas because ~t allows traffic may have to narrow to one lane to make the
maneuvenng room for veMcles to pass as parked cars turn A design study is needed to determine if a

that are travelling in the opposite direction these parking spaces
· Some turning movements are eliminated · Some turning movements are ehmlnated at
Hickory and at Mulberry The remaining situation
at Hickory Street is worse than option 3 because
there la a concentration of motorist reqmred to turn

therefore traffic wd! have to wait longer before
being able to turn on to Hickory
· The amount of traffic on Hickory increases
greatly between Fry/Ave A and Welch Welch
will experience an increase in traffic in both
directions between Oak and Mulberry because
motorists who enter and leave the Fry/Ave A area
have to use Welch Unfamiliar motorists will be
more prone to make mistakes in this area due to
the changes in one-way movements
· A head-on situation is created at Fry/Ave A and
Hickory In addition, a right-of-way dilemma
arises as right-turn on red is legal, and let~-turn on
red is legal on a one-way street
· All traffic on Fry Street and Ave A MUST use
the intersection at Hickory Street
Conclusion This option produces no net benefit Traffic flow is impaired and the ability to safely add on-
street parking is decreased

VI. CONCLUSION
The Fry Street area reqmres Immediate attention It ~s t~me for more action and less talk, t~me to
transform renewed enthusiasm and energy into positive steps toward restoration of the
commumty and the well being of ~ts resxdents Improvements are needed to undo years of
deferred ~nvestment, advertent neglect and overdue renovation Procrastination and apathy can
only lead to further deterioration and ~nstabthty ~n the Fry Street area Improvements w~ll be
costly and w~ll reqmre a considerable financxal commitment not only from the City of Denton,
but the Umversity of North Texas, The Fry Street Development Corporation, residents
merchants, business and property owners in the Fry Street area The d~stnbutlon of the financxal
commitment does not necessarily have to be equal, however ~t does have to be shared
All of Denton neighborhoods are ~nterconnected and interdependent Harm to a part damages
the whole However, the reverse ~s also true neighborhood gmns benefit the entire commtm~ty
Changes ~n the Fry Street area ~nvolve social, economic and physical recovery While the
concerns are umque, ~ssue defimtlon and possible strategies d~scussed by the Fry Street area
stakeholders can be applied ~n many areas of the c~ty Neighborhoods have to heal from within
W~thont ongoing ;nvolvement and full commitment of neighborhood residents and businesses,
there can be no lasting gmns Self-rehance and personal initiative must play a much greater role
than they have m the past

These spaces could be made available to tenants wishing to convert existing structures for uses other than those for which
they currently quahfy as a legally non-conforming use Spaces could also be used for a hmlted amount of new
construction However, the Building Inspections Division would review any new construction that would cause a net loss
of available parking in the area on a case by case bas~s This option does not change the fact that two major property
owners control the majority of the available parking in the Fry Street area It also does not address the problems with
variances, illegally non-conforrmng uses, and legally non-confonmng uses
b A Fry Street Zoning District is created (PT-4/PT-5) and all parking reqmrements m the Fry

the area The number of spaces required would be based on a ratio of one space for each 200 sq ft of floor area for
restaurant/bars and retail uses and one space for each 300 sq ft of floor area for office uses Th~s option allows for
the expansion of existing businesses and paves the way for new businesses to locate in the area It also ehmLnates the
current problems with illegally non-conforming uses and legally non-conforming uses by making all uses conforming
Also, by setting parking requirements based on certain uses, the likelihood of uncontrolled growth in the area is lessened

uniform and cost-effective design for City communications and to enhance the identity and
professional image of local government while allowing departments flexibility and creativity
within the confines of this policy. Use of this policy strengthens the City's mission and helps to
raise the profile of the City by ensuring its name is clearly recognizable.
The basic requirement of this policy is that all electronic and print publications, which describe official
City of Denton programs and functions, are consistently and clearly identified as City of Denton
communications.
This policy ensures unity, consistency, and clarity of inessage in the City of Denton's internal
and external communications. The programs and actions described herein enhance awareness of
the City of Denton internally and externally and preserve and protect the City of Denton's rights to
use and to control use of its department markers and logos. All markers, logos, and images
described herein are the sole property of the City of Denton.
This policy is to be used and upheld by all departments and individuals working to communicate on
behalf of the City. All design, composition, and printing/copying service departments/divisions and
all City staff will follow the design requirements established by this policy in creating publications.
External agencies and any other services employed by any department or division are required to
observe this policy as well. External vendors will be provided with design and style specifications
through contact with the department originating the purchase order. Copies of this policy can be
