McKinney, Denton, Texas at which the following item will be considered: NOTE: A Planning Work Session is used to explore matters of interest to one or more City Council Members or the City Manager for the purpose of giving staff direction imo whether or not such matters should be placed on a future regular or special meeting of the Council for citizen input, City Council deliberation and formal City action. At a Planning Work Session, the City Council generally receives informal and preliminary reports and information from City staff, officials, members of City committees, and the individual or organization proposing council action, if invited by City Council or City Manager to participate in the session. Participation by individuals and members of organizations invited to speak ceases when the Mayor announces the session is being closed to public input. Although Planning Work Sessions are public meetings, and citizens have a legal right to attend, they are not public hearings, so citizens are not allowed to participate in the session unless invited to do so by the Mayor. Any citizen may supply to the City Council, prior to the beginning of the session, a written report regarding the citizen's opinion on the matter being explored. Should the Council direct the matter be placed on a regular meeting agenda, the staff will generally prepare a final report defining the proposed action, which will be made available to all citizens prior to the regular meeting at which citizen input is sought. The purpose of this procedure is to allow citizens attending the regular meeting the opportunity to hear the views of their fellow citizens without having to attend two meetings. Receive a report, hold a discussion and give staff direction regarding creating a vibrato cultural life in Denton. Suggestions for Agenda Committee on future agenda items and/or placement of items for upcoming agendas.

AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET AGENDA DATE: DEPARTMENT: ACM: April 13, 2004 Economic Development Mike Conduff, City Manager~"~'//~ SUBJECT Receive a report, hold a discussion and give staff direction regarding creating a vibrant cultural life in Denton. BACKGROUND The City Council identified 'Wibrant cultural life" as a long-range planning topic to be discussed at the monthly planning sessions. The attached paper identifies arts, entertainment and recreation opportunities in Denton. Staff attempted to capture all major venues, events and facilities. However, so much is happening in Denton, there may be some omissions. We would appreciate any additions you may have. With regard to the sports and recreation section, only major sports at the universities and key Denton Parks and Recreation activities were listed. There are several sports associations and private facilities that were not captured. Also, high school sports and activities were not included. Staff is inviting guest speakers to the April 13th meeting to discuss unique challenges in their particular area of arts or entertainment. EXHIBITS White Paper Respectfully submitted: Linda Ratliff, Director Economic Development Department -1- Presented to tile Denton City Council ,April ~13, 2004 Created By Linda Bailiff, D~m, cto~, E©onomic Developmen! Klm Moore Economic Development Adminisfraii~e Assist. ant Presented to the Denton City Council April 13, 2004. At the Denton City Council's September 20,02 pi:arming retreat, Vibrant Cultural Life was listed as one of' the top ten focus areas for Denton's future.. What exactly does that: mean, and do we or don't we have, a vibrant cu~turat iife in Denton? Weii, Webster defines "vibrant" as. pulsating with life., vigor or activity. Using tha~ definition, one could conclude that a city with a v'ibr.ant cultural life ;should offer lots of opportunities for its citizens to enjoy a~ galleries, ![ve music, plays and performances,, recreation;al activities and cultural festiva!s and events, with a dynamic nighDfe completing the picture New 'York City, New Orleans, and La:s 'Vegas are cities that may come to mind when you think of cities Nat are '~au:sating with life, vigor or activity" ~enty4ou:r hours a day. Ask ten 'friends and you'll probably get ten different responses on hot ~o~t:iOrnS. in Texas., some consider Austin as the place lo be, for entertainment. Forget being our state's capita!, Austin claims the 'title of Live Music Capital of the World. and they back up their claim with an end~es:s number of dubs and enteda:inment events from which to choose: Austin's entertainment district centers around the Sixth Street area~ often described as being young and t:rendy~ One particular Austin webs~e, a~st~n.a. .b. OuL~[~.;~:, swears tha~ you: '~find yoursel?f r:ubb~n9 shoulders with 8n edecdc bunch, ~nd:ud~n9 the rich and famous. (or ~nfamous) in the guise of politicians, HOllywood stars., and of course, the rmus[cians- Ioca~ heroes., street musicians, and nationally-known acts." To compliment the active night scene, the wes:t: end'. of Sixth Street offers daytime sights, such as antique stores, art ga!~eries, restaurants, and shops. Closer to home, Fort Wo~h has. evolved s~brant/y! The Fo~'t Wodh Convention and Visitors Bureau reposed that, "Thanks to the Sundance Square Entedainment and Shopping District, Fo, ri Worth was named "the hottest downtown in Texas." by Texas Month/y. in this 20-block; distri~, you'!! find a;n incxedi'ble vadety of things to do and see. ~ movies, nightclubs, restaurants, stores and boutiques, museums and galleries, c~ffee shops, and live theatres.. Sundance Squa~e"s beautiful: landscaping, red-brick streets, and historic, eady-20th- century buildings make it a pedestrian's delight~ Named after the Sundance Kid, who used this area as a hideout, Sundan~. Square is a:~so a thdving business and residentia~ distain, and has been hai!ed as a monumenta~ achievement in; urban redevelopment." Of course, Austin and Fort Wo~h don't rely exclusively on Sixth Stree( or Sundance Square to provide their' arts and entedainment oppodunities.~ There are many 'venues throughout 'their communities ca,erin9 to residents and pul!ing visitors who .are cul:turally inctined~ it's. a part ef their community' character,. Here at home, Denton offers many opportunities 'to participate in the arts. it may even be t~ue tha~ per ~pita, Denton has, more people who are entertainers or artists than .Austin or Fort WOrth - thanks, :V'ib~'ant C. tflI:ural B'fe 'V'~a'fii:e Paper A~'fi 13, 2004 but not: limited, to, the ta!ent produced by our two univer.sities.. Denton; is very. different from these mo cities in many ways. When it comes to a "vibrant cu!tural !ifc," there are a few things that Denton iacks, Denton does: not have a designated enteflainment district: where we can feature and promote our home 'talent, or for that matter', impoded talent,: ~so, many Den;ton musfc artists must go to the Metroplex or.Austin to produce their music. Denton has veW few recording studios.- none with major labe!s, One example o¢ talent leaving the cJty is Grammy winner, Nora Jones, a former UNT music student who records in Austin,. Our economic development consu!tants T~P Strategies, suggested tha~: Denton missed the boa. t by not capitalizing on such 'talent Who's to know how many future. Nora Joneses are out there! So maybe Den. ton doesn't: have a vibrant cu!tura! ~if'e yet,. but: Denton cedainly has. a cultural life and the p.ot,entia~ to become brant if we are truly to capitalize on our' unique downtown, this may be the, obvious area to focus our vibrant effods~ A vi;brant downtown must have both daytime and nighttime activities~ ~n addJtio:n to significantly increasing the residentia;~ development in .our downtown to help generate the activity, John Fregonese, Den(oh'S consul(ant for our Do,wntown Master ;Plan and TIP Strategies consultants recommended that the downtown area. be deYe~oped in such a way' as to include facilities and oppoduni;ties to show,se Denton a~s and music. A downtown that closes When the shops dose does not: provide the needed stimulus to become vibrant. in Denton,'s Downtown Master Plan, Joha Fregonese refers to associated benefits that result from a vibrant downtown. '~One of'the benefits of an aclJve downtown is th;at it tends to attract peop!e with a creative ben'L While different things attract industries, one of' the. most important in our (echno!ogy driven world is creativity. And; industries that need creative people tend to ~o~te in ,communities 'that ~ter t:o them, Austin, a good example of this in: Texas, attracts people with a variety of amenities - a thrivin9 musical; s~ne, ethnic and cultural diversity, and great outdoor recreation. The author Richard F~orida has ranked severai cities in ;,regards to their ability to attract creative people, and in Texas, Austin, D;a~las and Houston made the top ten (a~ong with such places as: San Diego and Chapel Hi[i, Nod:h Carolina). To quote Mr.. Fiodda,, 'P~aca. s that are successful in attrading and retaining the creative class prosper, those the(fei! d ' ' . on t, ~th two ~a:rge universities, a head st:ad in music, and positioned to, ,provide the benefits of being dose to the Dallas-FOdh Metrorex without the headaches, Denton ~n thrive as a center of the creative industries - some of the best paying in the future. A thdving Downtown with p~aces to work, live, and play may be much more va!uable 'than .just the business it generates -i~: would !iff: Denl:on on the radar scceen of plaCes that ~eative people, and the indus(des that employ them live and work./' TIP Strategies. said that, "'D, enton has; tremendous promise to create a thriving downtown using ils existing elemen, ts. They go. on to say, 'Implementation of our Downtown Master plan willi provide ample oppo~unity to capitalize on the downtown's potential to become an economic and sooia! center of the city." Vibrant Cukural Bi're :Wh,i~e Paper Apdl 13, 2804 There 8re dearly many benefits to providing the quality of li'fe that attracts the '*creative class.'" However, problems that accompany (:he active c~ub scene should be noted, planned for and addressed, For example, you might ex:pen an increase, in alcohol-related incidents- public in~boxi~tion panhandling, a~tefcations and .crime, A Dallas neighborhood assoc;iation actually tracks, c~tat~ons and affests for Deep El:lure and Lower Greenv~l!e and posts them on thei;r web s~te, Bark~. n~qDofl:s,o~g, ~n a March 2004. posting, ~t rep, oded incidents rang~n f0u~ franc o~ parki:n9 dtat~o, ns ~ssued on March 2¢h to 40 dtatJons for t~affic related issues, 25 a~oohol-re~ated arrests and 9 arrests for ou~stand~9 warrants on March 1: 9~ Success can: a~so bring other challenges,. .An associate dire¢or fOr. Downtown; Austin Allianoe says that too mu:ch of a good t;hing can mean future tra~c and parking i:ssues and higher demands; on law enforcement. Noise. is another factor. Musidans ;say 'the Austi:n noise ordinance is killing them and the neighbors say it's ki[;l[ng their ability to sleep. Ai! that said'., the ia-hour economy vs. a 9-hour e~nomy makes Sixt:h Street a very healthy race e~,nomi~lly fOr restaurants and: clubs, The con,pt ora downtown museum to house the UNT fashion collodion and; '~U First Ladies' gowns has been discussed over the past two :years in several meeti:ags throughout the community, The Reed fer meeting space as wehl as performance/rehearsal space seems to. follow quickly on the hee!s of the museum topic, The City of Denton recendy submitted a request for federat funds ~o pedorm a feasibility study for a mu[ti- purpose raciiity that wou!d possibiy house the museum an,d provide the additional space downtown, t~' funded, this may b,e 'the first of many s~eps Denton ~akes to create the vibrant downtown '~he City' Council envisions. Funding the construction of such a facility could entai! the. saie of bond funds, a pad;nership with UNT, ~U and the a~s community, or a number of other public or pdvate funding mechanisms. The, City Council may also want to ~nsider esta:b!ishing an entedainment district~ The di;stri.~ could provide incentives to entertainment or ads feinted establishments to encourage the types of activities that Foal: Worth and Austin are experiencing~ A Tax increment Financa: Dist:dot (TIF), Public: Improvement District (PID) or Municipal Management District (MMD) are some financ ng tools that: could be used; to fund infrastruct;ure ~nstruction, ongoing mai;ntenance or management of the district. A sound plan with,, clear.u:(: goals and strategies wou~d need to be developed to ensure that Parking and crime, issues were addressed, Denton has a fantastic base upon which to buil:d.
