MCKINNEY / DENTON, TEXAS 76201 MEMORANDUM TO: MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: DALTON GREGORY, CHAIRPERSON OF THE JUVENILE DIVERSION TASK FORCE REGARDING: RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE TASK FORCE DATE: JUNE 10, 1994 Attached you will find a summary of the wog % done by the Juvenile Diversion Task Force. During our meetings we acknowledged that the problems of Juvenile delinquency are broad and complex. So too will be the efforts to reverse the trends toward more Juvenile crime In Denton, and more violent Juvenile crime nationally. The three recommendations presented to you by the task force represent only a starting point. They will require a commitment of financial resources. More importantly, they call for a commitment of the various agencies and the entire community to work In a more coordinated and cooperative effort to help our children. Daring the deliberations of the task force there were several Ideas that reoccurred. These Ideas provided a central focal point around which we worked. They created a basis for consensus that helped shape our recommendations. • Juveniles are important people. 4 Everyone needs to accept responsibility rather than putting it off on someone else. • If we do noth'.-.g the situation will get worse. oiler a personal word of thanks to the members of the task force for the time and energy given to completing the assignment. Harlan Jefferson and Tom Josey were particularly helpful in preparing information for meetings and following up on members' requests. The City Council is to be commended for taking the initiative In establishing the task force and responding to its recommendations. 817,', 6.8200 D/FW METRO 434-2521 L, %,:S 4 4f I e endall Doe b • - j AT`T CITY COUNCIL REPORT FORM TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council DATE: 06-14-94 FROM: Juvenile Diversion Task Force SUBJ: REPORT FROM JUVENILE DIVERSION TASK FORCE ON THE NECESSITY OF ESTABLISHING A DIVERSION PROGRAM INTRODUCTION: During February 1993, our Police Department stopped filing Class C misdemeanor cases involving juveniles with the County Court-at-Law. This was done because the judge over the County Court at Law, refused to continue processing such cases. Even though the Municipal Court had jurisdiction over the cases, for a year and one-half we t exercised an option in the law which allowed us to refer the cases to the County. As a result of this development in February 1993, the City Council spent several work s sessions discussing the dilemma. The advantages and disadvantages of processing ! cases involving juvenile offenders committing Class C misdemeanors with the exception of traffic offenses were identified as fotlows: Advantages of Accepting Jurisdiction: 1. By accepting this responsibility we will fill a void in the juvenile justice system and increase enforcement in this araa. 2. Juveniles committing their first or second offensfj may be discouraged from continuing criminal activities. ~-J 3. Our community as a whole will benefit from any mechanisms used to deter juveniles from continuing criminal activities. This could positively affect the security of our community, the safety of our citizens, and the overall image of the City of Denton. Disadvantages of Accepting Jurisdiction: 1. The City of Denton has no enforcement capabilities in the event the juvenile does not comply with the court order. If the juvenile defendant fails to pay any fines assessed, a warrant cannot be issued for the arrest of the juvenile offender which could result in him or her going unpunished. 1 i ! .v G 1 ApendaNo U-6d A,,,~lten~. ` Wte 3° 2'7 Report to Council/Juvenile Diversion Task Force Page 2 2. Lack of enforcement capahilities could result in wasted effort and prevent us from accomplishing the benefits mentioned above. After a great deal of discussion, the City Council decided to accept the additional jurisdiction over juvenile offenders. Once that responsibility was accepted, staff recommended implementing the change in procedures in phases. The recommendations in sequential order are as follows: • Immedietsly implement the basic program to exercise our jurisdiction over Class C juvenile offenders. This required that the City Council approve an additional appropriation for the 1992-93 fiscal year budget. The total appropriation for the current year included $8,250 for a part-time Municipal Judge (7 weekly hours), $5,851 for a part- time Municipal Clerk (10 weekly hours) and $2,000 for police overtime. • Staff continues to minitor the volume of cases produced by the "Zero Tolerance Policy" of the Denton Independent School District. In the event the juvenile case load increased substantially. additional resources will be needed. • Implement a one dimensional diversion program which has limited costs associated with it. The Municipal Court would be responsible for diverting juveniles to one or more community based agencies. However, a delay in implementing this recommendation occurred J because we had to locate appropriate agencies willing to work with juvenile offenders. Continued evaluation of the teen court alternative. The Success of this prugram is dependent upon community involvement; therefore, it is necessary that community support be developed for tins program. To accomplish this we recommended the City Council develop a Task Force comprised of individuals 'hat represent d cross-section of the Denton community (i.e., representatives from the Chamber of Commerce, Denton County Bar Association, civic clubs, PTAIPTO, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, government, etc.). In the event the Task Force recommends implementing a teen court program at a future date, the program should be considered during the budget process because of the financial impact associated with it, 2 R ~e~daNo, ~ Ap6~d~lfe Date Report to Council/Juvenile Diversion Task Force H27 Page 3 JUVENILE DIVERSION TASK FORCE PROCESS: The Juvenile Diversion Task Force, comprised of twenty-three 123) members appointed by the City Council, met eight (8) times. A three fold process was used for selecting the task force members. Organi2ations that were specifically identified by the Juvenile Diversion Task Forca Resolution #93.033 recommended names of individuals to represent them, the City Manager recommended the names of individuals from the city staff to participate in the task force, and finally, the City Council recommended names of individual to represent local civic groups, community based organizations, and at-large representatives. The Task Force charge from the City Council was as follows: "the Juvenile Diversion Task force shall review and evaluate the necessity of establishing a Diversion Program for the City of Denton and to submit a report to the City Council which shall include a recommendation of whether the City shall pursue the establishment of this type of program." In the event the Task Force was to recommend the establishment of a Diversion program, it was to provide recommendations to the City Council regarding the following matters: 1. the goals of the diversion program, 2. the format of the diversion program, 3. a public relations strategy, 4, the anticipated financial impact; and, 5. an implementation schedule. During the meetings of the Task Force, we defined the p•oblems. This involved reviewing historical Information and analyzing national and loc al trends. This step also Involved reviewing previous attempts to address the problems and the shortfalls and successes. Secondly, the Task Force turned its attention to reviewing alternatives to addressing the problem. Part of the process included researching funding sources. The final step was the development of the recommendations. For the Task Force to accomplish its charge, it utilized a decision circle process, This Involved the Task Force asking itself the following questions: "What do we believe?, What do we know?, What do we want, and What will we do?" The answers to these questions are discussed later in the roport. 3 II .r F i - Agenw Dale AgenReport to Council/.Juvenile Diversion Task Force Page 4 DE Y-ME PR__ 0_ BLEM: During the Initial meeting of the Task Force, we began identifying the problem by reviewing the legal background. Jerry Drake, Assistant City Attorney, reviewed terminology such as misdemeanor, felony arrest/indictment/information, complaints, conviction and probation. He also discussed pertinent laws regarding juveniles and walked the Task Force step by step through what happens when a juvenile Is caught and found guilty of committing a misdemeanor or a felony. From his discussion it became clear to the Task Force that Municipal Courts have very limited enforcement authority over juveniles that cummit Class C misdemeanors. Without the ability to enforce fines through arrest, Municipal Courts are totally helpless against enforcing any judgments. When a fine is levied, it is up to the discretion of the juvenile whether or not to pay. The basic concern is that once the Ineffectiveness of the Municipal Court becomes common knowledge, our juveniles could learn to disrespect the law as oppose to developing a positive attitude toward authority. This second phase of identifying the problem was highlighted in a presentation presented by Tom Josey, Municipal Court Administrator. He discussed the uniform crime reports prepared by the Federal Bureau Investigation (FBI) (see Attachment A). The specific reports he discussed were compiled information collected from local police departments on serious crimes. The crimes were indexed in categories such as crimes against persons and crimes against property by seventeen (17) years of age or less. Items that fit into the category of crimes against persons Include murders and non-negligent man-slaughters, forcible rapes, robbery, aggravated assault. Crimes against property involved such things as burglary, larceny- theft, motor vehicle theft, arson. He noted that even though the total arrests of juveniles had stabilized over the past decade, violent crimes against persons by juveniles had steadily increased to a high of five point eight {5.8%) percent of every one hundred (100) arrests made in 1992. The index low over a ten 110) year period was four point one (4.1 percent, which occurred in 1985, 1988 and 1987. The uniform crime report show on the national level, that from 1978 to 1992, non- index cri'mo c nd index crime against property decreased. However, index crime against persune increased. This indicates that juveniles have become increas?ngly violent during this time period. The percentage difference riay not appear to be great, but they translate into an additional 28,934 juveniles being arrested for murder, rape, robbery or aggravated assault in 1992 over 1989. Attachment B graphically illustrates this point. On the local level, the police department has juveniles statistics 4 i ApandaNo 9 Agendal Date Report to Council/Juvenile Diversion Task Force G 27 Page 5 ranging from January 1, 1985 through 1993. The total detainments handled by the police during this period is 5,590. The average per year cover the nine (9) year statistical reporting period is two hundred forty-rix (2461 cases. Since the number of cases handled within the department for 1993 is three hundred sixty-one (361) and three hundred forty-two (342) thus far in 1994, the trend is obviously showing a substantial increase in cases in recent years. After listening to the presenters and comments from the various task force members, it became clear that violent crime among juveniles nationwide was increasing substantially. On the local level, the number of arrests of our juveniles was increasing as well. Although we are not experiencing the same level of violence that many municipalities are experiencing, the number of juveniles in our community committing crimes is increasing. In light of this environment, the fact that the Municipal Court is powerless to enforce its judgments exposes the City to the potential of experiencing unrestrained growth in juvenile problems. IDENTIFYING OUR ALTERNATIVES: After reviewing background information necessary to properly understand the problem, the task force turned its attention to setting directions for accomplishing its goal. To develop a common understanding of everyone's perspective and individual objectives, the task force decided to utilize a decision circle process. As a group the Task Force answered the following questions (see Attached C). The decision circle process was stopped short of the final step which involves J answering "what will we dot" Before answering the question, the Task Force decided to review all of the options available. We developed a list of all known diversion task force or organizations that utilize diversion programs which we would like to consider. The list, which included reports, and/or presentations, is as follows: 0 Presentation on the Youth & Family Counseling First Offender Program. 0 Presentation on Teen Court Programs. • Presentation on Juvenile Drug and Alcohol Abuse Programs. • Development of a resource list utilized by the Denton Ministerial Alliance. • Development of a resource list utilized by United Way. • Development of a list of programs provided by the Denton Parks & Recreation Program. 0 Development of a resource list utilized by the City of Denton Municipal Court and the Denton County Probation Department. 5 i t 4geodaltatr~^~~ 6 " Report to Council/Juvenile Diversion Task Force Mete Page 6 7d o? 7 • Development of a resource list of programs utilized by the Denton Independent School District. The Task Force developed several resource lists of potential programs that could be utilized as diversion programs. Also, these programs could be utilized in the context of a teen court or at the discretion of the Municipal Judge. For the purposes of this report, we will focus on the primary diversion programs that the Task Force considered and discussed their benefits. Youth and Family Counseling On April 20, 1994 Dana Slater, Director of Lewisville Youth and Family Service Counseling, made a presentation to the Task Force. An overview of her presentation and additit oal information collected by the Task Force is listed below. Youth and Family Counseling was founded in 1981 by the Police Chiefs of Lewisville, Flower Mound, and Highland Village to create a First Offender Program that would serve as a means to divert youthful offenders from the juvenile justice system. In addition to being an alternative diversionary program, they wanted to incorporate family participation because of the evidence being gathered that many youngsters first violations, coincided with times of family stress such as divorce, terminal illness, job loss, or the arrival of a step parent. Their concept was, that by using a First Offender Program, resources from the police department's, community, schools, and family c patterns became habituated. It was ould combine to address the initial cause of illegal (acting out) behaviors before crime determined family counseling program would be the most effective means to address these goals. The program serves at the pleasure ..,f the police departments and courts and they which recommend the appropriate fu,iding to their respective city council's each year at budget time. For the current year, they receive $32,000 from Lewisville, $24,000 from Flower Mound, $4,667 from Highland Village, $34,000 from the Great Dallas United Way and $10,000 from Denton County. A recidivism study conducted by the City of Lewisville in 1989 indicated that of all the youngsters completing the program since its origination, only seventeen (17%) percent had been arrested a second time. A more recent, but smaller study by the town of Flower Mound in 1992, revealed that only seven (71,0) percent referred by their police department re-offended in that year. Additional Information on the first offender progrom is provided In Attachment D. 6 z, beach No ~2-4 agen0oll Report to Council/Juvenile Diversion Task farce 16 (~fa r s~Qy Page 7 Teen Court Program Deborah Hollifield, Justice of the Peace, Precinct 2, made a presentt,tion to the Task Force regarding teen court programs on May 4, 1994. She is located in The Colony and their teen court program was originally established when County Judge Jeff Moseley served as the Justice of the Peace there. Teen courts are an tiarly intervention program for young people who have committed their first offense or a serious violation of school policy. They are bi„ed on the premise that (1) young people are less likely to become re-involved in illegal activity after being exposed to the positive peer pressure generated from this judicial process and 12) that it promotes feelings of self esteem in an environment where constructive attitudes toward authority can flourish and can interrupt the development of criminal and self destruction behavior. In addition to The Colony, teen court programs are currently being utilized by several cities in this area; Arlington, Forest Hill, Fort Worth, Grand Prairie, Irving, North Richland Hills, Plano, and South Lakes. Soma of the goals of the teen court program involve getting juveniles to take responsibility for their actions, providing restitution, and actively involving the community in solving the juvenile crime problem. The functions of the teen t,ourt participants, except for the judge, is usually carried 1 out by the teen volunteers and teen defendar X. Their role is only to determine the appropriate sentencing (i.e., public service activities, restitution made to victims for property loss or damages, personal apology to victim, and special education 4 pregrams). They do not determine gulit or innocence. The structure normally requires a teen juvenile to first appear in Municipal Court to enter a plea of guilty and then the ` - J individually is referred to teen court if appropriate. If the juvenile does not satisfy the requirements of this sentence, he will have to return to Municipal Court for another hearing. Although The Colony's teen court program is not a separate 501 (c)13) p-ogram under the Tax Code many teen court programs are. Such a structure generally would require the teen court to establish its own board and solicit funding independent of public agencies. Many teen court programs around the state are sponsored by the Junior League. They serve as a stable resourco for the teei court. Recently an article appeared in the Wall Street Journal which discussed the success of teen court programs. They spent a great deal of time reviewing programs here in Texas. i 1 7 i agelidaNo V411'0 Agendalte Date ^ / Report to Council/Juvenile Diversion Task Force Page 8 Alcohol Education Program for Minors (age 12 thru 20): Also on May 4, 1994, the Task Force heard a presentation from Larry D. Prentice (Director, MiP Alcohol Education). Mr. Prentice informed the Task Force of the most recent change in the law ;Texas Alcohol Beverage Code, Section 106.115) requiring attendance on the Texas Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse (TCADA) or court approved course in Alcohol Education. He stated the changes involved: penalties for purchase, consumption or possession by a minor are misdemeanors punishable by fines and the requirement that the defendant attend an alcohol education course. Mr. Prentice then gave a brief summary of the alcohol education course that his program offers. He stated that he would be willing to make his class available in Denton County upon receiving an invitation to locate here. Currently, he operates in the Houston area. POTENTIAL RESOtrRCES FOR DIVERSION PROGRAMS: The resolution creating the Juvenile Diversion Task Force required it to anticipate the financial impact of its recommendations. Therefore, several research hours were spent locating possible funding sources. We identified three major resource categories (i.e., government agencies, not-for-profit organizations, and private grantstdonations). Although we did not request funding from any organizations, we did verify that diversion programs are eligible to receive their contributions. The specific agencies we considered by category included: Government A ie • City of Denton - Budget Increase for Juvenile Caseload - Community Development Block Grant • Denton Independent School District F • Denton County i • Federal Government (grants) Youth Fair Chance (Department of Labor) Weed and Seed (Department of Justice) Prevention (Department of Justice) Delinquency Prevention (Office of Juven..e Justice and Delinquency Prevention 8 r a 1 i. k J ~eneari'o 9 Agerldalt (we Report to City Council/Juvenile Diversion Task Force ~T Page 9 I Not-for-Profit Organizations • United of Way of Denton - Venture/Expansion Grants - Affiliated Organizations • Civic Organizations - Benefit League - Exchange Club - Rotary Club - Kawanis Club Private Grant/Donations • Boeing Aerospace and Electronics • Other Interested Parties Most of the potential resources would not be available in the near future. At the earliest, CDBG and Venture grant funding will not be available until fiscal year 1994- 98. In addition, agencies must be in existence for three (3) years before they are eligible to become an affiliated member of the United Way or receiving funding from the Benefit League. The availability of the federal grants vary. For resources in the near future, we could only depend on contributions from local government agencies. --J Since a diversion program could reduce the work load on the Municipal Court, perhaps the funding given to the court clerks office and Police department last year could be used to start a diversion program li.e., $7,851). TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATIONS- Following the above mentioned evaluation of all existing diversion programs and potential alternatives, the Juvenile Diversion Task Force overwhelming supported three recommend a;i3ns at the conclusion of the decision circle. In answer to the t question "what will ve do" is as follows; • Recom-nand the creation of a teen court. Attachment F contains the teen court structure/procedures, comparison of other teen courts and a proposed teen court budget. We recommend that the teen court be establisheo as an independent, not for profit organization 'operating under Tax Code 601(c)(3). 9 a r n„ r 1 T ~gendaNc 4 -0 Ag*:Slt Report to City Council/Juvenile Diversion Task Force Page 10 This will allow the organization to be more successful in soliciting funding from various sources. Without being established as a 501(c)(31 agency, they could not apply to be an affiliate of the United Way. It would also make it difficult to apply for CDBG funding. We are also recommending that the City of Denton, DISD and Denton County and one civic agency serve as sponsors for the teen court program. We believe that three major sponsors being the City of Denton, Gi5D and Denton County should share the cost for the initial year of the program. We also recommend that all funding for all subsequent years be reduced by the three major sponsors. The teen court should be responsible for replacing those funds from other sources. • The second recommendation of the Task Force is that the City contract with Youth & Family Counseling to make their First Offender Program available in the City of Denton. Attachment G contains their proposal 113, which we're recommending. The proposal is for providing service to one hundred and twenty (120) first offenders over a twelve (12) month period. This would include an initial orientation session and six (8) counseling sessions with the offender and his or her family. Prior to recommending the Proposal #3, the Task Force reviewed a number of other proposals from Youth & Family Counseling. Previous proposals would involve offenders travelling to the Lewisville or Flower Mound office of the organization which we felt would be too difficult for offenders. Another involved Youth & Family Counseling locating local offices in this community at their cost. This option was too expensive (i.e, $50,289.). Along with Proposal #3, we are recommending that the City, school district, or some other organization in our community provide the counseling facility for Youth & Family Counseiing. This would include utility services. Members of the Task Force thought that there could be evening facilities available from one of the public agencies that are normally used during the day time only. • The final recommendation is for the City Council to create a Juvenile Crime Interagency Coalition (JCIC). The mission of the coalition would be to promote understanding, facilitate coordination and cooperation among agencies Involved with juveniles issuas. W- believe a vital role of the agency should be the development of an annual report to City Council on I 10 I i l i i ' I e2 Ain VwWa No. Ag"dr► I Date- Report to City Council/Juvenile Diversion Task Force 0~7 Page 11 juvenile crime issues. Therefore, the agency would inform the City Council on the need for additional coordination, resources and whether or not the status of juvenile crime and related issues. We recommend that the committee members of the coalition be appointed by the Council for three year staggered terms. The composition of the coalition shall be similar to the Juvenile Diversion Task Force. CONCLUSION: The ^cceptance A the above mentioned recommendations would be beneficial to all segments of our community. The juvenile offenders would benefit by not having a criminal record created. They will also be exposed to well structured programs des;3ned to prevent criminal behavior from becoming habitual. Secondly, disfunction families will receive some assistance from counseling efforts. In some cases, parents will learn how to be better parents. Thirdly, the business community will benefit from a reduction in property damage and theft. The third major beneficiary would be the general citizenry. They will experience less property damage and assault. Such efforts will allow the city to retain its image as a good place to work and live. Considering the rapid growth in violent crimes committed by juveniles and gangs, it is vital that the diversion programs be established no later than the next fiscal year. We need to increase our efforts to address the juvenile crime issue before the situation becomes unmanageable. The City of Fort Worth never saw their juvenile and gang problem developing until it was too late. They now have the most publicized gang problem in the state and possibly the nation. Implementation of our recommendations will address different area n of the problem. First, the teen court recommendation will assist in preventing first time offenders from repeating illegal acts. The program is designed for defendants who would only need some gentle nudging to get back on the right track. Secondly, Youth & Family Counseling is designed for juveniles with a more sorious problem. It is for juveniles that commit crimes becausa of a problem that is related to their family. It : ould be a result of something the family is doing or the lack of support they are receiving. Thirdly, our recommendation calls for the coalition to assist in making the entire community responsible for addressing juvenile issues. The coalition will monitor the big picture and recommend a change in methods from time to time. The Committee was enthusiastic about t`.a responsibility given to it by the City Council, and we will look forward to discus,ing our recommendations with you. It is our believe ?hat the more dialogue that is generated on tnis issue, the better the solutions will be.

Parents and other adults spend less time with their children and kids in general. • There is a lack o! positive role models. • Denton has a serious drug problem. 0 Teenage parents have problems. • Denial is a prohlem among parents, officials, agencies, and the general population. • Parents and adults are afraid to controlldisciptine their children/kids. . i 0 There is much confusion on how to coact to delinquent behavior. • People behave in a way that meets their needs (safety, security, sense of belonging, attention, etc.). • Children are influenced more by peers and media and less by parents, adults, home, church and scuool. • Inner-city children live without hope. They feel a sense of hop-lessness. s Diversion will be expensive in both monetary and human resou; ^us i ut ignoring it/problems will be more costly.

I I ~r . !f AL~f~~ENT DQ~~ 'O~r3te~dh ~ a~~zy THEORETICAL APPROACH AND BASIS FIRST OFFENUR PROGRAM Approximately 35 years ago, mental and psychological dysfunction was viewed on the medical model of "illness", i.e., that acting out or antisocial behaviors were due to some flaw or malfunction within an individual. Pioneering research on childhood schizophrenia by Dr. Jay Haley noted that when hospitalized, profoundly disturbed children responded fairly quickly and predictably when treated with a very structured reality based consequences and rewards system; however, when these children returned to their original environments, they immediately reverted to their schizophrenic behaviors. The regularity of this occurrence caused the focus of the study to change to the family interactions and communication patterns and produced very postive results. During this time period, scientists were formulating the systems theory which had its origins in the work of the German biologist, Ludwig von Berialanffy. He was the first to document what he termed General Systems Theory which emphasizes the importance of interactions and feedback between the individual parts of a system. His research has had far reaching impacts on the fields of biology, computer science, and psychology. His theories have been enlarged and implemented with extraordinary results by } the well known psychologists Salvadore Menuchin, Carl ✓ Whitaker, Jay Haley, Murray Bowen and others. Family systems psychology is grounded in the fact that humans are inextricably social and our notions regarding self definition, normal gender roles, appropriate behavior and responses, and the concepts of right and wrong originate and are reinforced in our family of origin. j. The central premise of the philosophical approach of the First Offender Program is that the earliest incidences of acting out behavior always serve some function within the family system. Possible functions are distracting from oiher family problems, enmeshing one or both parents, providing stress relief for the family (much like the whistle on a tea kettle), meeting a dysfunctional need for power, and or acting out loyalty conflicts within the family. The risk for the young person is that although these behaviors start to VI FRIDAY, JUNE 3, 1991 Teenage Defendants Get Juries of Their Veers In 1992.

The group agreed to meet every other week and as needed on a scheduled basis to complete the project. Team consensus and cohesiveness was excellent with all members open to suggestion, options and various opinions of the group. Attendance at all scheduled meetings was excellent and all members participated. It was decided after several meetings that a chairperson was needed, and Fran Miller was nominated and accepted. Initially, as the group discussed the project query and research, a consensus was obtained about how the basic project would be handled and the actual topic parameters would be selected. The team decided to set uut to prove or :;isprove the query exactly as given to us and determine the extent and type of issues which could be addressed within parameters of the topic query. The team members also discussed options for other topics to pursue as an alternative to the given topic. The initia3 research process began as interviews by the entire group of several prominent community leaders using the topic query to confirm or deny its validity. it was determined by the team that the query had validity, therefore, it was decided that further research and investigation was needed. The team decided that since the project primarily involved minority issues as perceived by both the nunority and non-minority citizens of Denton, a broad based approach was preferable. Therefore, a large list of minority and non-minority community leaders was selected, and two-person teams interviewed those leaders. •Following each interview, each team completed a written synopsis of the interview for use by all team members. Additionally, a written survey was designed to determine attitudes of the general public with each team member assigned a local area of Denton to interview citizens and have them answer a questionnaire. The results of the i questionnaires were tabulated and utilized by the group to prepare the final report and presentation. Further meetings were held by the team to discuss the responses of the interviewees and the results of the questionnaires and to determine the type of written report and final i presentation to be made by the team. Based on the results of the research, the team determined what proposals or recommendations could be made. Each team member was assigned a portion of the final report and presentation to complete. she team will also recommend actions that can be take,: by Al citizens Lo p:onwte improved perceptions of racial and cultural concerns in Denton. In this presentation, the project team will answer the query as asked in the assignment. i J- i 4 Query Statement: In De-..ton, the Martin Luther King Center is perceived by Hispanics as "Slack", while the Tomas Rivera Elementary School is perceived by Afro-American as "Hispanic". Statement: The Afro-American and Hispanic communities do not support the other in a unified approach to addressing "minority issues" in Denton. QUERY: What are the actual perceptions and motivations among the various racial and ethnic groups in Denton: what effect are such divergent agendas having on Denton, i.e., school system, delivery of city services, participation in volunteer and civic endeavors? i L11 I I i l" u' 1 2 11 re ~ ' `PPl e t.r.. U.. ~ pas ~ l~r i 4 Y y INTERVIEWS t . .Y 77 t J } K ° { i x a INTERVIEWS Our project team comducted 20 interviews. Although at the beginning of each interview, the class member identified the purpose and goal and stressed the confidentiality of the discussion, it is interesting to note that overwhelmingly, the interviewees expres ed a hesitancy to "bare" their true feelings on the subject of racial/ethnic relationships. Please keep in mind as you review the results of these interviews that race relations is a very emotional issue. To confirm in public that racial tensions exist opens one up to unwanted and primarily negative attention. Furthermore, to admit bias is a social anathema. In some instances, the interviewee did finally open vp to the interview team; and in these rases, the emotions associated with this issue were poignantly clear. "Perception becomes reality, whether it is real or not." "Every story is told from someone's perspective." Over the duration of the twenty interviews conducted, it is important to give due respect to people's perceptions, because it is these perceptions that later reflect themselves .in the "various agendas" witnessed in Denton. It is these "perceptions" that guide our thoughts and actions, and most effectively, emotions. We work off of our emotions, especially on racial issues. In working with emotional issues, it's best to look not at what is happening but at why. The perceptions of the interviewees were as varied and sometimes contradictory in nature. The interviews were evaluated on the basis of continuity, i.e. perceptions that were common or voiced repeatedly. Insightful, unique views are also reported. Please keep in mind that the following stateme: is are those of interviewees, not project members. "Why are you asking me? I'm white." The interviews began with the basic question, "Do racial problems exist in Denton?" Surprisingly, the answer to this question was not always expressed by a simple "yes" answer. Four of the interviewees felt that Denton'% problems were a reskilt of sociaeconornic differences, and were not particularly race-related. For example, our loco high school parent volunteer groups consist primarily of parents from the average to upper middle income clasi; parants from poor neighborhoods rarely volunteer. Two reasons were expressed. Parents from lower socio-economic families often work two jobs or conflicting schedules that prevents them from participating. Secondly, volunteer meetings have a quasi-social environment. Volunteers usually sit together and, naturally, visit with each other. Poor parents and more affluent parents 3 i i 1 F have little in common to share in a discussion, and the end result is that both groups become uncomfortable. These circumstances can be observed in other volunteer-driven programs in Denton. When asked about the low number of minority participants in "A VISION for Denton - the 21st Century", we were told "Letters were mailed and phone calls made inviting minority participation - they just didn't come." Perhaps this sense of uneasiness is the cause of the poor representation on community projects such as "A VISION for Denton - the 21st Century." "History books teach how the West was won, not how the West was lost." Although some interviewees felt that socio-economic status was a divisive factor in Denton, ethnic differences were acknowledged as the leader in many of Denton's woes. Some had strong feelings that socio-economic status was pre-determined by race. Many minorities have a true feeling of disenfranchisement. History shapes the future, and this country's past did not dispense a bright future for the African-American man or woman. More recently, the years of unease over border relations with Mexico have not favored the Hispanic. To dismiss the role history has played in racial issues would be tantamount to denying the problem exists. History books are primariiy written by Anglo, middle-class Americans, thus children receive public education taught from an Anglo point of view. Taking this into consideration, it is conceivable that children do &Z receive a well-rounded education. f y "We never got over that war in the 1800's." The less than desirable history for minorities in this country has had far-reaching effects. Older members of the community, regardless of race, tend to be more prejudiced. As one interviewee put it, "Pan of the problem is two centuries of slave mentality." Of course, this quote was recorded during portion of a discussion specifically relating to African-America,.t issues; however, it is quite accurate. School officials agree that parents and grandparents - the older generations - are the impetus behind racial differences. "It is not so much that parents consciously teach their children to treat people differently," rather their actions betray their inner feelings. Their actions may indicate that certain types of people are better than others, and "children learn by example." 4 i I , tiJ, w "Schools are forced to integrate. Communities are not." Adding to the confusion is a significant lack of communication, both interracially and intra-racially. Some children's only interaction with people of different backgrounds is at school, which is not the ultimate answer since the desegregation laws passed in the 1960's only address the African-American population, not Hispanic. When asked why the laws ignore the Hispanic population, it was explained that the African-American people are spread out over the United States, while Hispanic people are found geographically in primarily four states in the southern region. Hispanic issues, being more regional than national in nature, therefore, do not receive as much attention. One interviewee believed that Hispania are accepted as part of the white community easier than black people, because the color of their skin is not so much in contrast, and "they blend in better". "If they are here, we have a moral and ethical obligation to educate them. Otherwise, we will support them as adults." Compounding the communication problem in the Hispanic culture is the language barrier. This issue alone was enough to raise the emotional level of more than one interview, because discussing this point invariably led to a debate on immigration. One interviewee who migrated from Mexico as a child recalled that his parents believed the only way to learn the language was to move to America and practice it regularly. Unfortunately, many Hispanic adults do not subscribe to this theory and continue to speak Spanish at home, leaving their children with no help in their studies. It should be noted that another interviewee had conducted research and believed the majority of the Texas population would be speakinf; Spanish as their primary language within a few years. i "No one ever listened to us before, so why would they listen now?" Rejection of the English language promotes a natural fear of social and political involvement which resulted in fewer visible Hispanic leaders and role models. As a result Hispanic children look to "gang" activity for role models. It should be noted that these "gangs" are not what law enforcement and school officials consider violent and threatening. They are more along the lines of "wanna-be gangs" characterized by a great deal of "big talk" and little criminal activity. Hispanic children and teens believe they "have no place to go," and may not be able to discern the difference between Denton's "wanna-be gangs" and the real ones. Sources of guidance and social activity are difficult to find for Hispanic people. Denton's LULAC organization was labeled an "elite" group by several interviewees, and the local (Catholic) church was criticized as having "let down the Hispanic community in Denton." The 5 k i i i R geographical distance of the new Catholic church from the general areas of Hispanic population substantiates this contention. "Black people are hurt that whites are so afraid of southeast Denton." %.the black part of town..." i The major contributor to the breakdown of communication between races is a profound lack of knowledge about the various cultures. The result is a common fear of the unknown. Invisible boundaries are built. For instance, white people feel uncomfortable visiting the "black part of town," which in most interviews referred to the area east of downtown and south of McKinney Street. There is a misconception that this area suffers from high crime. In reality, the crime rate is not as high as it is in other parts of Denton, and the crimes tend to be less violent in nature. "For the black man or woman, based on past history, the dream of being President is not a reality." We asked, "How do African-American people feel about themselves and their relationship with other races?" More than one mentioned that religion was not an influencing factor like it used to be, All of them expressed disappointment over the breakdown of the family structure. Role models are scarce, and low self-esteem is not uncommon. Most African-American role models are athletes. One school official gave the example of black children being accepted during football season because of their athletic prowess; they were heroes. However, as the second semester progressed, they were socially excluded. There is a lack of trust of the "establishment," For instance, it is a fact that there are no African-American firemen in Denton. City officials explained that the current civil service hiring policy, which requires firemen and police officers to be hired strictly according to test scores, was adopted over forty years ago. The only way to reverse the law and change the hiring practice requires not a simple majority of votes, but a majority of registered voters. Historically, less than 50% turn out for a contested race. "There is coriflict within the community, a lack of cohesion." The African-American interviewees a1sn believe the local NAACP is not active enough and does not represent them well. One interview team tried repeatedly to contact the NAACP office with no success. There are approximately six organizations representing the African-American community. One interviewee expressed concern over reverse-discrimination he had seen recently. "It results in resentment that is in nobody's best interest." 6 f i f geographical distance of the new Catholic church from the general areas of Hispanic population substantiates this contention. "Black people are hurt that whites are so afraid of southeast Denton." "...the black part of town..."

The African-American interviewees also Iulieve the local NAACP it not active enough and does not represent them well. One interview team tried repeatedly to contact the NAACP office with no success. There are approximately six organizations representing the African-American community. One interviewee expressed concern over reverse-discrimination he had seen recently. "it results in sentment that is in nobody's best interest." I 6 I i i i r t "Who is going to be second - Blacks or Hispanics?" We also received feedback on how Hispanic people felt about themselves. One answer was quite a revelation. The interviewee said "It is understood that the whites are the majority, but who will come in second? African-Americans and Hispanics fight for some of the sane privileges in society." They feel excluded from the community at large, as previously mentioned - the children "feel they have no place to go," It was suggested that there are two ways of thinking involved. "The 'older' Hispanics believe they will never be able to compete and achieve at the same level as the whites, and have The "new" Hi all of the same opportunities and responsibilities as the whites." Hispanics feel "each person should achieve a higher standard for him or herself and then pull others up to that level.' Otherwise, they will be pulled back down. It was one interviewee's opinion that "When an individual rises put his perceived socio economic status, there is no going back into the community to help those who are still mired there." Hispanics also suffer from deterioration of the family structure. "The traditional, close. knit Hispanic family is quickly changing because both parents have to work." The children do not receive the same level of moral instruction that their parents did. Because of the strong emphasis placed on family values in the put, some Hispanic families are reluctant to let their i children be mentored. If a father is not present, a grandfather, uncle or another male relative will I take over the nurturing of the child. "The media should not make such a big deal out of minority issues," There was a general consensus that the media overstated minority-related issues and emphasized negative stories. More than one comment was made to accentuate positive news and recognize successful programs, rather than dwell on difficulties and failures. i J "The Martin Luther King Center was the City of Denton's answer to including the southeast part of town in services." We asked each of the interviewees how they felt about the Martin Luther King Center. All interviewees except three city officials, believe the perception that the MLK Center is primWy serving the African-American community. They suggest structuring the programs to enco trage more participation by other races. They view it as the City of henton's answer rn including the southeast part of town, which is true according to city officials. City officials r> recognized that the area lacked a recreational center and provided one. I 7 .a, S `r` t C "Honor the leadership and crew that are running MLK." The MLK Center staff provided a schedule of events which indicates the Center is actually being used for a wide variety of group meetings, i.e. Camp Fir,, city-wida sports programs, aerobics, Girl Scouts, and English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) classes. It is also the city-wide certification point for all coaches in city sports leagues. The effort to "reach out" is being made. During the one hour interview, it was noted that 90.95% of the individuals using the Center were African-American. The "drop-ins" were children from the surrounding neighborhood. Although there have been no racial incidents, the staff focuses on structured activities as a means of addressing racial concerns. Staff members are on hand during all activities. The Center hopes to hire a bilingual staff member soon. MLK is an After School Action Site for the City of Denton Parks & Recreation Department. They coordinate a mentoring program through the NAACP student chapter at UNT with twenty volunteer students. "Tomas Rivera sounds ethnic. The neighborhood is ethnic. The principal is Hispanic • of course it looks like a minority schooll" We asked each of the interviewees how they felt about he Tomas Rivera Elementary School. At the time of these interviews, D1SD was still in the process of establishing a redistricting plan, and this issue was fresh on everyone's mind. Again, most interviewees felt the perception that this would be a minority school was correct. "Problems have surfaced recently as a result of the opening of Tomas Rivera Elementary. Historically, people have given lip service to solving racial problems and even denied that they existed. However, when the people are expected to work together, as in this school redistricting issue, the different agendas reappear." "Tomz~ Rivera Elementary will reverse the busing issue." There is only one busing area in Denton • that is southeast Denton, where Tomas Rivera is being built. Some parents and students feel it is time for whites to be bused in. A school official explained that, "Historically, busing relocated blacks, and moved them out of their neighborhood schools. Now whites will have to be bused into an area. This has never before bttu the case. Another reasun to encourage busing of white students is thaeblock parents believe that whites need to be a part of the student population in order to assure that quality education and resources are put in the new school." Appointing a Hispanic principal is perceived as a good move. The parents will feel more comfortable and be more active because they have someone they can relatt to, someone who can 8 i X f I understand their feelings and problems. It was necessary to hire a bilingual principal because there will be a heavy concentration of Hispanic students. "The best person for the job is hired." Enrollment is expected to be 50% white, 38% Hispanic and 12% black. "Schools have become the battleground for different personal and social agendas. They are looked at as the tool to solve community and societal problems. The basic mission is lost. Schools are not capable of meeting all agendas." "Do not ignore the issue, applaud what we are doing." Many positive projects are al: eady in place and are working to resolve racial problems in Denton. One interviewee challenged: Find out more about these programs. Appreciate the voiunteers and staff supporting them. Recognize their efforts. NICE (Neighborsfor Improving our Community Environment) meets monthly to give members of southeast Denton the opportunity to disco;s with community leaders those issues they feel need attention. The COPS (Community Oriented Policino program actively seeks input from the community into the development of policing strategies and policies that affect quality of fife issues. A new neighborhood park is being constructed near the Owsley Addition, as well as a center which will house representatives from non-profit and social service ciganizations. Big Brothers and Big Sisters steps in to provide mentors to children from broken homes. TTRIPS (Teaching Teens Responsibility in Parenting Skslls) focuses on teaching parenting skills to teenagers who are, or will be parents and attend hied Moore Learning Center. ESL (English as a Second Language) classes are taught at four elementary schools, tao junior highs and at both high schools. DISD offers English classes to adults at various campuses. Tomas Rivera Elementary will also offer the classes. Cinco de Mayo celebrations are partially sponsored by the City of Denton. "I don't see the color of their skin, only their insides." "There will be a waiting list to get into my school next yarl" . 9 s r; i k SURVEY RESULTS r e- 1 I. Y~ i i E SURVEY RESULTS i After interviewing many of the minority community leaders, we wanted to compare their responses with what the average resident felt about the racial issues in Denton, We gathered information from the various interviews and compiled them into a series of survey questions. The idea was to be able to directly compare the responses of the community leaders with the responses of the average resident. Each member of the project team distrib• •cd the surveys in various areas of Denton. We surveyed residents at the Martin Luther King Reueation Center, the Denton Senor Center, Ryan High School, HCA Denton Community Hospital and numerous c. h•r businesses and individuals. We gathered 97 completed surveys and accumulated the results. The graphic analysis can be found in the appendix. The demographics of all of the respondents showed a good representation of Denton residents. The city of Denton is made up of roughly 80% Caucasian, 1094 African-American and 10% Hispanics according to the 1990 census results. Our survey results showed that 62% of the respondents were Caucasian, 31% were African-American and the remaining 7% were Hispanic. Of the 97 respondents two-thirds or 67% were female and the remaining 33% were males. Most of the respondents had a high school education or better but only half of all of the households made more than $20,000 per year. Forty-five percent had attended some college or have a college degree. Only 2% admitted to having no formal education. Thirty percent of those responding claimed th.t the households that they live in made less than $20,000 but 14% did not respond to this question. The respondents were spread evenly over the city of Denton. Twenty percent were from South Denton, 18% from Southeast Denton, 22% from North Denton, 20% from the college campuses, 7% from Northeast Denton and 3% from the Owsley addition. i We believe that the survey results are valid because the demographic percentages are ccmparable to the demographic percentages from the 1990 census for the city of Denton. The only area where the surveys might be weak is the number of Hispanics surveyed is a bit loner than the average for the &y. Our query prompted the questions, "Is the Martin Luther King Center perceived as mostly African-American by Hispanics?" and "Is Tomas Rivera Elementary School perceived as mostly 1 Hispanic by African-Americans?" We found that, in the opinion of the average residents, they believe that MLK it predominantly African-American but Tomas Rivera will not be mosriy HicPanic. When asked about who used the MLK Center the majoritY of African-Amtrians and j Hispanics agreed that mostly African-Americans use the re:reation center. Even though about ` 30% of Caucasians agreed with the statement, 47% claimed that they did not know who used the f 4 MLK Center. These groups of Caucasians mostly live in Norm and Northeast Denton and the f college campuses. They do not live around the recreation center and do not utilize its services. Surprisingly, when asked about the student make-up of Tomas Rivera Elementary School all to i i .y { respondents agreed that the student enrollment would not be predominately Hispanic. Here again the Caucasian respondents, while agreeing with the other ethnic groups, claimed that they did not know what the student enrollment would be at the elementary school. This is the same group that was mentioned earlier that does not live in South and Southeast Denton. When asked if there were racial problems in Denton, 62% of all surveyed responded affirmatively. When asked what factors contribute to the racial differences, all three racial groups agreed that race and economic factors divide our community. Eighty-five percent responded that they grew up in a neighborhood of their own ethnic make-up. Division by race is a long standing historical problem, however, division by income is a recent phenomenon that clusters ethnic groups into low paying jobs and low cost housing. Next we asked about the availability of role models and mentors. We broke each ethnic group down to find out if any of the ethnic groups feel that they do not have enough role models for their children and young adults. When asked about the role models in Denton's African- American community, over 80% of African-Americans believed that there were role models in the community. About 45% of Caucasians agreed that there were role models in the African- American but about 40% of Caucasians and over 80% of Hispanics claimed that they did not know about role models in the African-American community. When asked about role models in the Hispanic community, 48% of African-Americans, 55% of Caucasians and, surprisingly, 60% of Hispanics claimed that they do not know of any role models in the Hispanic community. About 30% in each ethnic category responded that there are role models in the Hispanic community. About 60% of African-Americans and Caucasians felt that there are role models in the Caucasian community while again 67% of Hispania responded that they do not know. GN erall, only 10% of the African-Americ:ms surveyed felt that they did not have enough role models in the African-American commup*-v and only 10% of Caucasians felt that they did not have enough role models in the Hispanic cc unity. This leads us to believe that people in a certain ethnic group tend to accept role models who are of the same ethnic background as themselves. Although, when asked specifically that question, all three racial groups responded that a role model does not need to be the same race as the student. In other words a role model can be of any race or ethnicity. The surveys next section deals with how well the NAACP and LULAC represent the general views and concerns of their respective ethnic groups. About 30% of African-American thought that the NAACP represents their community well but almost 40% did not know if their representation was correct or not. Seventy percent Caucasians and 78% Hispanics claimed that they also did not know if the NAACP represented the general views of the African-American community. We asked the same question about LULAC: and we received similar responses except for the Hispanic, community. Thirty-three percent of Hispanics surveyed responded that LULAC does not represent the Hispanic community and 42% did not know, Only 18% of the Hispania surveyed felt that LULAC represented the general views of the Hispanic community. i i i Seventy-eight percent of African-American and Caucasian responded that they did not know if LULAC represented their ethnic group. I The last question we asked was simply-"Are you prejudiced?" We were shocked to see that almost 80% of the African-Americans and Caucasians responded that they are not prejudiced, but almost 80% of Hispanic respondents claimed that they are prejudiced. When asked who they are prejudiced against, 39% responded that they were prejudiced against African-Americans, 23% against Hispanics, and 15% against Caucasians. The remaining 2396 responded that they are prejudiced against other people, such as "stupid" people, people who lie, and one wrote that "everyone is prejudiced and if they say they aren't, then they're lying". Consensus and Contradictions The main reason we circulated the surveys was to find out if the opinions of the "man on the street" agreed or conflicted with the opinions of the community leaders. In some cues we found consensus among the people and their leaders but there were also some large contradictions. The contradictions that we found in the data and the interviews illustrates either a misunderstanding of the needs of the people on the community leader's part or a lack information on the people's pan. Either way, it is evident that there is some level of miscommunication between the residents and their community leaders. The first area to look at is the racial mix of the Martin Luther King Recreation Center and Tomas Rivera Elementary School, Community leaders and residents agree that, for the most part, the Martin Luther King Recreation Center is used predominately by African-Americans. Although the demographics of Southeast Denton is becoming less dominated by African- Americans and more by Hispanics, the MLK Center is still not readily used by the Hispanic or Caucasian communities. As for Tomas Rivera Elementary, there seems to be a slight discrepancy between community leaders and the residents pertaining to the racial mix of the students attending the school. Community leaders have made issues over the suggested racial mix of Tomas Rivera and according to them, the perception of the public at large is that this elemental school would be predominately minority since it is being built in a predominately minority neighborhood. But according to the survey results the general public believes that the student population of Tomas Rivera Elementary will not be predominately Hispanic. Responses to the two questions, "Are there racial problems in Denton," and "Do you consider yourself prejudiced," indicates a strong contradiction. Sixty-two percent of the respondents agreed that there are racial problems in Denton, but over 720,6 of the sam: respondents claimed that they are not prejudiced. These results seem to indicate that the majority of the respondents do not feel that they are part of the racial problems. This would mean that only 30% of the citizeas of Denton are causing all the racial problems. We do recognize that the word "prejudice" is an inflammatory word at best and most people do not like to think of f themselves in that way. If people recognize the fact that there are racial problems in Denton, but s I2 r A t ti 1 they do not see themselves as prejudiced then they either do not understand the meaning of prejudice and racial bias, or they feel that everyone else is causing the racial problems. One of our interviewees stated that role models with good strong moral character are needed in our cummunities. We asked our survey subjects if, in their opinion, there are role models in their ethnic communities. African-American and Caucasians agreed that they do have role models in their communities. Most Hispanic respondents did not know if there were role models in their community, but no one responded that there are no role models for the Hispanic community. There also seemed to be a question of whether role models and their students should be of the same ethnic background. Our survey results concluded that almost everyone believed that a person could have a role model of any race or ethnic background, Our Hispanic respondents were split 50/50 on this question, most likely because of their strong belief in family and the church. Their role models are usually family members who, of course, are of the same ethnic background as they. Another contradiction from the survey results was on the subject of the National Association for the Advancem^nt of Colored People (NAACP) and the League of Urban Latin American Citizens (LULAC), These two organizations are designed to promote their respective ethnic groups and improve relations between them and others. Denton has local chapters of LULAC and NAACP. We asked our respondents if they felt that their respective organizations represented their general views and concerns. About 35% of the African-Americans responded that the NAACP does represent their views, 17% responded that they did not, but almost 45% did not know if the NAACP agenda was the same as theirs. As for LULAC, only 16% agreed that they were well represented by their organization. One-third felt that LULAC did not represent the Hispanic community and 50%,did not know if LULAC represented them. Therefore, according to our survey, 62% of African-Americans and almost 85% of Hispanics either do not know enough about their respective organizations' agendas or do not believe that those agendas are representative of their needs in the community. J 13 ii . i s I I j RECOMMENDATIONS i .r t. 1s~ v tR ; ~ ` f. 1 r ' RECOMMENDATIONS It would be presumptuous of our team to suggest that we have the solution to the long. standing problem of race relations. But as a result of our combined inquiry and discussion of this matter, we do have some insights to pass along: 1) Because of the determined and conscientious efforts by numerous Denton citizens of all races over many years, Denton does not seem to have a major problem of race,relations. This is not to imply that cooperation among ethnic groups cannot be greatly improved. 2) There is significant evidence that economic differences among races is as much or more a cause of diversity than color of skin or difference of culture, However, all are interrelated. 3) A problem cannot be lessened or corrected until it is recognized. Efforts toward personal introspection by persons of all ethnic groups regarding their true feelings about racial matters should be encouraged. 4) Our team concluded that our assigned topic of why the Hispanics and African. American groups do not cooperate and support each other is much less important than why all Denton citizens do not inter-relate and cooperate for the common good. It is suggested that the City of Denton establish an office staffed by persons of the major ethnic groups, specifically assigned to impi ovement of race relations. One of several projects of such an office could be an annual public celebration supported and attended by all ethnic groups. Encouragement of harmonious relations among all Denton citizens should be a specifically recognized responsibility of City government. I 5) Activities such as mentor programs by churches, service clubs, social clubs and individuals should be encouraged in a continuous but not overly aggressive manner, Ultimately, individuals and individual attitudes are the key to racial and intra-community relations. A frequent comment, especially from Hispanics, was that building trust takes time and a program that is too intensive may do more harm than good. 14 i i f i{ CONCLUSION ~A CONCLUSION When we began this project, our first challenge was to make sure that all of our team members understood the query in the same way, so that we would all be looking for the truth to the same inquiry. Accuracy can be a matter of perspective in itself, if the question is rendered unclear. We tried to avoid those pitfalls; it seems that the hours we spent defining the query for ourselves was a good investment. We seem to have asked clear questions and received clear, sometimes emotional, answers. The demographics section of the report indicates that the data collected accurately reflects the population in our community. Therefore, we believe the interviews and survey data to be a respectable presentation of the perceptions in the Denton community. The identification of interviewees for discussion of racial perceptions among community leaders was arduous. We attempted to gain the opinions of a cross-section of community leaders, and believe that we were successful in that representation. We interviewed persons of different race and ethnicity who are associated with or employed by volunteer organizations, the school district, the universities, city services, and courts system. We appreciate the time and consideration that these people gave to our project. We learned that the community leaders in Denton, while they may conflict on specific issues from time to time, share a common denominator; they ALL care very much about the people who make up our community. The topic, as mentioned earlier in the report, is an emotional issue. Yet each person, though touched emotionally by the questions we asked, responded with suggestions to go along with any criticism they may have shared. Very few were prone to place blame; all were wanting something to change, and appeared to be willing to take part in the process of change. The surveys were taken from all areas of the community, and as indicated in the survey section, are a good representation demographically. The surveys indicated that although racism is an issue, it is not necessarily the primary cause of Denton's unrest. Certainly the socio- economic factor is based on historical racial issues, but it does not seem that the residents of Denton place undue emphasis on this history; they appear to be looking forward. The persons who participated in the survey indicate that they believe there is some racial tension, but again the data shows that the citizens are ready for positive changes. The survey form had three open questions: 1) What city services should be added or improved in your neighborhood? 2) What do you like most about Denton? 3) What do you like least about Denton? I5 j Requests for city services were frequently mentioned include more Neighborhood Watch and Crimestopper programs, curbside recycling and improved street maintenance. The youth asked for more police patrol and "undercover cops...to bust all the drug dealers.,.". Dentonites like being close to both Dallas and Fort Worth where there are plenty of churches, arts and culture, universities, a feeling of family community, good shopping opportunities and racial diversity. The complaints included racial prejudice from police and public schools, high taxes, not enough jobs, and "the way the city handles growth and development issues". Others listed drugs, gang activity, and a need for more recreational activities for children and youth. There were contradictions in the survey data. We were asking hard questions about an i issue that always stirs the blood and sometimes baffles logic. This phenomenon was apparent not only from one person to another, but also in some of the answers given by the same individual. For instance, a person may say there is racial tension in town, yet deny any prejudice on his own part. Another may say they like living in a small town, yet criticize tie lack of jobs or limited shopping. Our investigation of the divisions among racial leadership and perceptions has been enlightening for all of the team members. We determined that the Martin Luther King Center is perceived as "Black", even though it is accessed by all races for recreational activity as well as programs ranging from tax preparation to aerobics for adults, and puppet shows to volleyball for children and youth. The Tomas Rivera Elementary School is not perceived as being a school for Hispanics only, although it is thought that there will be a statistically higher percentage of minority students in the school than the community demographics reflect. The statement in the query that the African-American and Hispanic communities do not support each other in a unified approach to addressing "minority issues" in Denton seemed after a while not to be the significant question. The subjective data that we gathered in the interviews did not indicate that either the African-Americans or Hispanics felt that it was necessary or desirable to align with another minority group. Some of the interviewees expressed that neither of the larger minority groups appears to have solid community leadership from the "grassroots" of their own race. The various ethnic groups 211 seem to be motivated by the same force: a safe diverse community, economically sound, in which every person is considered on his or her own merits, rather than by race, culture or ethnicity. Many people said that they believe that Denton is a wonderful place to raise a family. Most of the people who talked with us or responded to the survey indicated that they like the multi-cultur.l diversity that Denton offers. It was suggested 16 } l s I I several times that the city take responsibility for sponsoring multicultural fairs and events that would draw the entire citizenry together and help to banish the idea of different agendas. It seems that we, as a community, are doing a lot of things right, even though we are experiencing some of the growing pains that other small communities have when there is a burst of growth and economic development. One survey respondent said that he likes Denton because it is a small town with a big city atmosphere. Even three years ago, Denton might not have been described as such. We encourage the community leaders to continue with the successful programs that we have. We challenge you to encourage your family, friends, and neighbors to get involved, too. In our interviews, we asked, "How can I make a difference? What can I do?" Here are some of the many suggestions we received. * Tutor a child in reading or math; sign up at one of the schools. Work with the Police Department in establishing trust in the community. Enroll in the Citizen Police Academy. ° Volunteer at the Fred Moore Learning Center. Learn about the TTRIPS program and what it is doing toward keeping our youth in school, teaching parenting skills, and helping them learn solutions to daily living problems. * Support the staff at the Martin Luther King Center in the programming they provide for the community, young and old. Learn about mentor programs, like Big Brothers and Big Sisters, and make a commitment to a young person, regardless of color, Male role models are in particular demand and I may help to stem the tide of gangs coming into Denton. " if you attend church, get involved in community outreach programs. • Volunteer to answer telephones or baby sit at a shelter, a Keep our personal agendas out of the school system and focus on the needs of the students. Meet your neighbors. Ask questions. Pay attention. Get involved. 17 i i i r S APPENDIX k ~ rr ]I GRAPH INDEX ♦ Survey Questionnaire ♦ Survey Demographics Survey respondents - Age Survey respondents • Race Survey respondents - Gender Survey respondents - Education Level Survey respondents - Location of residence Survey respondents - Household Income ♦ Question 2 • Perception of use of MILK Center ♦ Question 3 • Perception of We of Tomas Rivera Elementary School i ♦ Question 4 • Perception of racial problems In Denton ♦ Question 4A• Factors that divide racial groups ♦ Question • Perceived existence of role models ♦ Question b - Role models determined by race ♦ Question 7 • Perceived efficacy of NAACP in Denton ♦ Question 8 • Perceived efficacy of LULAC In Denton ♦ Question 9 • Perception of personal prejudice ♦ Question 9A• Prejudice linked to specific groups , i { a i i~ Please answer the foltowin uestions AGE WHAT AREA OF DENTON DO YOU LNE?

The regularity of this occurrence caused the focus of the study to change to ; the famtIy interactions and communication patterns and produced very postive results. During this time period. scientists were formulating the systems theory which had its origins in the work of the German biologist, Ludwig von Berialanffy He was the first to document what he termed General Systems Theory which emphasizes the importance of interactions and feedback between the far individual parts of a system. His resrarrh has had reaching impacts on the fields of biology, computer j science. and psychology. His theories have been enlarged and implemented with extraordinary results by the well known psychologists Salvadore Menuchin, Carl Whitaker, Jay Haley, Murray Bowen and others. Family systems psychology is grounded in the fact that humans are inextricably social and our notions regarding self definition, normal gender roles, appropriate behavior and responses. and the concepts of right and wrong originate and are reinforced in our family of origin. The central premise of the philosophical approach of the First Offender Program is that the earliest incidences of acting out behavior always serve some function within the family system. Possible functions are distracting from other family problems. enmeshing one or both parents. providing stress relief for the family (much like the whistle on a tea kettle). meeting a dysfunctional need for power, and or acting out loyally conflicts within the family The risk for the young person is that although these behaviors start to E j~ 4 t ij ,i. 3 x 1 r ~ M ~ a 1. ATTACWErir D (coot) ' I ' I meet a primary need, secondary reinforcer s to the negative behaviors begin to emerge and desensitization occurs. For trample, a youngster's earliest incidences of stealing may be a control issue centered in that child's p c r c e p I i o n s of how power is negoriated in his family of origin; ho%ever, after a child steals several times. secondary feedback loops emerge. In addition to m,eling his original need to feel a sense or power and the ability to defy parental authority and not get caught, he also re aii ies some benefits from stealing, He may become an anti - hero i n his peer group and receive gratification from acquiring belongings without working for them. His comfort level with criminal behavior will be further reinforced by the desensitization Ihat takes place with each act, all criminals report that first instances of criminal involvement are accompanied by anxiety reactions - heart racing, flushing, fight or flight response - as they become more experienced, crime becomes much more comfortable. The concept behind the First Offender Program is that there is a window of opportunity between the time a young person first begins criminal activity and the point that the behavior becomes reinforced and habituated. During this period, psychological intervention can eliminate the primary causes and function to establish appropiatn vays to t meet the youngster's emotional and psychological needs and define and implement consistent and logical consequences. The only means to accomplish this is an approach that incorporates the efforts or the entire family system. Just as lay Haley found with childhood i schizophrenics; for the behavior to change, the systems J I interactions must change, J Many of the families that come into the First Offender Program are "helpless and hopeless" - they do I not know how to parent any differently or believe that they have the capability to affect change. The first step of the program is to engender hope and to empower parents to take charge of their families. The importance of the first contact is stressed to all staff members. Youth and Family Counseling is dedicated to offering professional counseling services comparable to those received by families who can afford expensive private practice treatment. The message to our families is that they are respected, valued, and I believed to have the ability to get better within (heir family system. Experience has demonstrated that 1n Ibis therapeutic environment, families are able to define constructive goals, examine the origin of the problem, create skills and strategies for change, and Y 5 ATTACHMENT D (cont) 1 that dramatic changes in adolescent acting out I behaviors occur, PoIIoN - up s tudies validate the success of the program and it is believed that a "bonus" effect is I h a t initial criminal acti%,ity is prevented in younger siblings that participate with the juvenile offender It is for these reasons that the communities of i.ewisviIIe.

The City of Denton purchased water rights to Lake Ray Roberts during the late 1980's. In conjunction with the purchase of the water rights the City participates in the development of the Lake's Greenbelt Corridor, which includes the purchase of land along the Elm Fork o~ the Trinity River between Ray Roberts and Lewisville Lake and the building of a public access and recreation facility therein. The project, "A Vision for Denton - The 21st Century" is intended to make Denton an even better place to live and to work and to have a plan for the future. There are two main goals of Denton's "Vision for the 21 st Century." r~ Determine what kind of community citizens would like Denton to be - 3 not today but 10-20 years from today. Hundreds of people are 1 involved in working out concrete character6tics of the vision of Denton. E U To make this community-wide vision a reality. Broad based citizen involvement is critical to the success of both these long-term goals. t Ali ~wR1 aslw■ wrwr ■1■w rls !/M ■.rr ww■ POW OMWA mmm No" now ma law Mwo Mr ~ X995-99 C CAM AL RAFROVEMENT PLAN ENOY\~W tV/DRAMAGE IT— i. yY ~ ~ i IMF a.~ - ~ GIs r ■ v ■ s*c wr ,1 ,_A` / m 0 UM LAM I 3 ATV"t MANWON Cp M4-0 AP X96 CUP B96-97 C P QA~lf71yy0yyNyyO~~Qh~fippM ~~KNNS 32 [ MEN RyOyO~DpN_"~WJCFQ~ ~ D173 K ARMAL WK4 MM A [ MW_ SMEEi 00WABCOW.

Presentations of requested projects were made to the City's Executivd Committee for consideration. Each project was evaluated based on Its impact on: 1. Public Safety, Health and Life; 2. Legal Requirement, Liability or Mandate; 3. Quality and Reliability of Current Service Level; 4. Economic Growth and Development; 5. Recreational, Cultural and Aesthetic Value; and 8. Funding Ability. Executive recommendations were approved by the Planning and Zoning Committee for submission to the City Council. The recommended 1995.1999, Five-Year General Government Capital Improvement Plan is summarized in the following pages. Individual project sheets are presented for the fifth year indicating the department/division responsible for the project. New guidelineswere implemented during the 1991.92 planning process incorporating projected annual inflation rates for each project requested for the plan's fifth year. This approach allows a more comprehensive Identification of operation and maintenance costs related to each project and a more accurate estimate of j future project costs. Those projects recommended for fifth year funding are proposed for 1998.1999.

Dei'berate discussion on both sides of the fence (not the buffer zone!) appear to indicate that the two sides are interested in a model community which invites both business and residential development. The extent to which development should be regulated is where the lines are drawn and battles are waged... specific ally between developers and staff over policies, ordinances, plans and interpretations. Persons interviewed for this project (which focuses on commercial, not residential, development) indicated that business and development in Denton before the 1980s focused on a "good ole boy network to get things done and to do them quickly. With changes in government, staff and representation (more citizen participation), the city moved toward inevitable conflict when the rules and regulations changed concerning development and planning. Policies, planning, politics, perception and power play equally important roles. Defining the future of Denton has become more difficult in a time when economic development and permanent changes in business and industry will determine the city's prestige and prosperity into the next century. A recent study issued in October 1993 by Dr. ~J Bernard Weinstein and Barbara Robinson through the Center for Economic Development at are University of North Texas provides facts and figures that suggest the city of Denton must create balance between quality of life and planned, proactive economic development. According to the report "An Economic Overview and Outlook for the City of Denton," the Dallas metroplex experienced an average growth rate of 50,0(0 persons annually in the early to mid 1980s. That increase has declined since 1990, however, a pattern of redistribution has emerged. "Many census tracts, particularly those located in the central cities of Dallas and Fort Worth, have lost population since 1980. At the same time, .3. E i , l r L;41 ^ y C i most census tracts in the northern suburbs grew between 25 and 100 percent during the past decade, with tracts in southern Denton County and northeast Tarrant County posting the sharpest gains." While the city of Denton contains only 24 percent of the county's population, according to the report, its total population is expected to reach 92,630 by the year 2000 (it is currently 66,900). And Denton is projected to grow faster than Carrollton or Lewisville during the 1990s. "The increasing disarnenities of Dallas and Port Worth, including crime, a deteriorating infrastructure, racial tensions and mediocre public schools, will continue to l drive middle-class families of all races of the central cities (in the Metroplex) in pursuit of the higher quality of life in the suburbs...and the availability of job opportunities will provide an additional spur to outmigration from both Dallas and Fort Worth," says Weinstein. The report describes four key social economic characteristics of Denton as well: ■ The median family income for the city is the lowest of Carrollton, Lewisville, Plano and Denton, partly due to the impact of the city's large college population. Forty percent of Denton's families earn between $25,000 and 550,000, with the next largest segment earning between $5,000 and $25,000 (28 percent). More than 70 percent of Denton s families earn $50,000 or less. ■ In terms of educational attainment the highest percentage of Denton's population are those who have attended college but who have not earned a degree most likely a reflection of the college population of the city. Approximately 27 percent of Denton's residents have received a bachelor's or advanced degree. ■ The occr tonal orientation of residents of the city of Denton shows the highest percent employed in the technical, sales, administrative support category (35 percent), -4. r. t i I t. , I followed by the manage!i4rofessional/specialty area (31 percent), and Denton has almost twice m many employees in the professional speciality category than the management category, which reflects the influence of L .nton's two universities. Denton has approximately 18 percent of its working population in two occupational categories associated with manufacturing: precision production-craft-repair and operators- fabricators-laborers. N Percentage of employment in Denton County by major industry groupings are: public or government sector, 25 percent; finance, 3 percent; services, 19 percent; manufacturing, 17 percent; and the rest in other areas. Economic development, according to some persons, has an excellent outlook in Denton. Others believe that the city must accelerate its efforts to bring more business and industry in that will enhance growth. Weinstein's repots says, "According to the 1992 Directory of Texas Manufacturers, 60 industrial operations are located in Denton, employing nearly 5,000 workers. There are very few cities of comparable size in the state of Texas with such a high concentration of manufacturing." However, the report adds, "Denton 's manufacturing employment is concentrated in industries that are either contracting or slow-growing nationally and, therefore, cannot be counted upon to provide future employment for Denton residents....( he city) currently has \~J relatively few jobs in'high tech' manufacturing such as industrial machinery (which includes computers), electronic equipment or instruments that have been growing rapidly across Texas and the rest of the country." To meet the challenges of economic development and progress, Weinsten says, "it is imperative that Denton project an image of being pro-business and pro-growth, Second, Denton must carefully evaluate its economic assets and target its industrial development efforts in ways that can capitalize on these strengths. At the sane time, it is important that Denton recognize its economic liabilities and deal forthrightly with its shortcomings." { S. E R I i ir Wcinstein's report also echoes a complaint that certain developers, citizens, businessmen and outsiders have said. Whether the image is based on fact or perception, it can damage the city's future if not explored and corrected. 'Probably Denton's most serious liability is that, over the years, it has developed an anti-business and anti-growth reputation. Whether or not this is true, the'no-growth' . image persists and must be combatted head-on," says Weinstein. "Finally, the city of Denton must encourage economic development if it wishes to ensure a steady stream of tax revenue that can be used to maintain and enhance the quality of life that makes the city unique." So... where did the image problem originate? Is it real or only perceived? Who creates the problem? Who perpetuates it? What can be done? A look at policies, politics, power and people may hold the key. Fact. fiction or fa don ~ planning and zoning *h jO c_tafl' Historically, growth and planning assumed added dimensions and complications with the adoption of the Denton Development Plan in 1988. City leaders realized that, with its unprectdented growth, Denton would expand in spite of or because of itself. The choice: to plan in detail how to implement yet control the city's growth so that its safe, "small -town" reputation would remain intact; or to allow unchecked development to occur with results that could not be predicted or controlled The Denton Development Plan (hereafter DDP) "uses the 'village concept plan;" according to Jim Engelbrecht, chair of the Planning and Zoning Commission "mostly residential with pockets of commercial development with different densities." The plan has been amended twice to accommodate new development needs and requests made by the city, with input and/or complaints from developers, but any farther changes must wait until the city has completed its "Vision" project. -6- Table 1A ZONING Epredesign Conferanca ..e submittal of Application F I =91 taff Review and Comment • xallinq List prepared for property owners within 200 feed ithin the city 1 - 4 week process Notice mailed 10 days before puownersavithint200rtoot y staff Recomsendatlon prepared for Plcn~inigeiand Zoning 4j weak process planning and Zoning Comsliesion public Bearing Notice tion to approve Racosmendatlon to Deny ocuments are Petitioner may eppsal I to be prepared F=- rL In a "days prior to public hearing City C public hearing Adoption of ~ om onnd that an ordinance Dental an ordinance ,Recomaendsd but not required- " po/soninq -8- op~ t 5 f c' In order to understand any conflict real or perceived between developers and city staff (as well as various city departments and the Council itself), a description and summary of the basic process Is necessary (see Table IA). A developer (small or large) engaged in the toning process must go through the following initial steps, which take approximately three to four weeks: ■ Submission of application (preceded by a predesign conftr;nce with city.staff in the Development and Planning Department, if the developer so desires); ■ Staff review and comments; ■ Preparation of a mailing list for property owners within 200 feet within city limits (done by city staff); ■ Notice mailed 10 days before public hearing toproperty owners within 200 feet (done by city staff); ■ Preparation of sL frecommendations for Planning and Zoning Commission; ■ Planning and Zoning Commission public hearing (4th week). At or after the 4th week, the following events in the process may occur: ■ After the public hearing, either a recommendation to approve is granted and a 4 request is issued for preparation of legal documents or a recommendation to deny is given and the petitioner may appeal. L ■ Notice of the recommendation is published in the Denton Record-Chronicle 13 days prior to the public hearing before the City Council. ■ At the City Council's public hear- tg, council members may deny the recommendation, recommend that an ordinance be prepared or adopt an ordinance. Other procedures are followed for platting or replatting (see Tables 113 and IC), j In other words, interested developers must work with staff in the city's Planning and Development Department, which is drected by Prank Robbins.

Then plans must be drawn up, according to city ordinances and regulations, and submitted to the planning and development staff, (Necessary forms, instructions and additional information are provided by city staff.) The approval process takes at ]cast two months sometimes longer. And the planned development application is also sent to the development review committee for its approval. The developer can ask questions or request clarification of ordinances and regulations; the city staff then gives the applicant its approval to take the request to the Planning and Zoning Commission for a public hearing or provides instructions on what aspects must be changed in order to meet specifications. The applicant can make those changes, reject them and proceed with the original proposal, or withdraw his or her request If the developer decides to proceed, the city planning and development staff take the proposal to the Planning and Zoning Commission; upon the commission's approval, the staff then take the applicant's plan to the City Council for final approval (or denial). The conflict usually begins when developers submit plans that require changes or that do not meet specifications. The process and related politics affect how staff and developers work with each other. In an attempt to resolve past complaints and conflicts, Robbins began a customer service program in 1989 which he calls "Faster, Easier, Cheaper, Better: An Approach to r Regulation" that he and his staff follow. "Faster" refers to the principle that decision making and administration are not redundant ....that "one stop" permitting and information provision is desirable.,.that development review is a staff priority. "Easier" means "user i friendly"... that the regulatory Process is easy to follow, in a logical sequence, parallel to r i the development process...that regulatory language is non-technical as much as possible. 11 1 f ' r c I 4 rr { i. .r. ij V. `t "Cheaper" says that a faster process costs less ...that elimination of unnecessary or redundant steps saves materiel and time ...that easy-to-understand and use regulations, logical process and comprehensive information giving avoid costly errors and "do-overs." Finally, "better" means that staff regulate precisely all of the things the community needs regulated in a form and manner which will predictably and directly result in the protections it needs and the visions it has...do not regulate what does not need regulating... draft with appropriate flexibility and apply the rules consistently. Robbins says, "In approaching development and administration of our land use regulations, we have also followed a'towards excellence principle' of innovating with the customer. (With input frorn those most directly affected by regulations) Land use regulation policy, regulation and administration in Denton is faster, easier, cheaper and above all else better due in large measure to the time and expertise that those who would have been regulated have contributed." In an April 1992 memo, he referred to some of the projects that were effectively influenced by his staffs customer service principle: the Denton Development Plan; the parks dedication policy; the landscape and tree preservation ordinance; the re-write of street, drainage and process sections of the subdivision regulations; sign ordinance amendments; and the re-write of the zoning ordinance. Several years ago, city planning and development staff also implemented the use of response cards, The blue cards the numbered so that staff can see how many are actually returned so that they can learn how their work with builders and developers is received. And rew,;ting ordinances is an ongoing project that the staff have undertaken; the finished product, however, probably won t be ready for at least another year, according to Robbins. Throughout this process, staff enforce ,'u DDP, as well as ordinances and related regulations. The book of rules and regulations is thick and complicated. And the word "policy" enters the conflict as well. -12- Not According to some developers, city staff dictate policies for development that are not ordinances; they arbitrarily make new rules or bend others in ways that they (staff) believe protect the city and in ways that developers believe hinder legitimate growth. "A city policy is really a requirement asked for that you don't necessarily have to abide by," said one developer. "You need to as., what's policy and what's ordinance so that you know how to plan. You need to be able tc ask the right question concerning the development of a particular site." (A further examination of policy versus ordinance is II included in the next section of this report.) 1 Small developers with less experience need more time to navigate the system in i Denton. Large developers usually have more experience and need less assistance. However, city staff declare that they will help anyone who needs it; they only need to ask. (The problem for these persons, however, will be knowing the right questions to ask and when to pose them.) Developers in the area also agree aside from the fact that policies and ordinances are used inconsistently that they must also meet codes and specifications for other r' entities, such as utilities, fire, engineering and other departments. Moving through the process is a massive undertaking with many forks and turns, according to this gmup. I However, Planning and Zoning Commission members have stated that the city's development review committee (which comprises representatives of all city staff) reviews plats to ensure that a proposed development metts all ordinances from technical perspectives related to every depart mnt that would be involved before a project begins. if, after this lengthy process, the staff receive approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission to take the project to the City Council, final approval may or may not come. According to city staff, developers can accept or reject recommendations from the city about aspects of their project that may hinder final approval. The "okay" may depend y on whether a developer takes their advice. (See Table 2 for diagram.) t 1's - i i . 4 Table 2 F1, 1 • 8 In d1 I C - 14 - I i And, last but not least, the City Council must read and understand within a very brief period of time a project proposal and question tie city staff about specifications, impact and potential. If the council members do not ask the right questions or enough questions, a development project can pass or fail, regardless of problem or merit. One example in which city planning and development staff worked successfully with developers was thr, approval and subsequent construction of Food Lion on Ngrth Locust Street, which opened in 1992 (see appendix C for documentation). Public comments and concerns, school district requests, traffic studies, landscaping, parking, drainage and construction were all incorporated in project plans and specifications, which ultimately received approval from both the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Denton City Council. When Food Lion officials applied to build their new store, the land was already zoned for planned development, which proposes neighborhood service for a particular site. City services and facilities were already available (water, gas, sanitary sewer, telephone, electricity and solid waste). Public hearings were held, 19 notices were mailed to property owners withing 200 feet of the site (two responses supporting the replat were received), and detailed plans were submitted for curbing, a buffer zone with appropriate landscaping and trees (and a concrete buffer fence proposed by the applicant), drainage and related matters. The applicant also commissioned a detailed traffic study (a traffic impact analysis) to explain the effects of added cars on involved streets, particularly Locust Street, classified as a "primary arterial." A neighborhood meeting enabled Food Lion representatives to talk with adjacent neighbors and to respond to their concerns about drainage, traffic and proximity to the nearby junior high school (with particular attention to the fact that alcohol would be sold on the premises). Other cooperative efforts, plus public hearings and input from the Planning !S- 3 t of the project by the City Council. and Zoning Commission, led to the eventual approval o P officials According to minutes, memoranda and other documents available, Food Lion planning and wor'xed within the requirements of the DDP, cooperated with citizens, development officials and the Planning and Toning Commission, and built the store within the city's specifications and ordinances. ,a:~~••a,xd yr cloDt;i noffcte.LnjQ~friY:~+~u•---- - - According to one member of the Planning and Zoning Commission, the more difficult r needs to understand the rules of the process the smaller th, developer, it is because they don t understand all of the rules and because they don t have staff like the ....The Process is very complex there's no doubt about it. We are big developers working on making it easier." The city staff, as part of a governmental agency, are subject to internal politics, as well as external pressures. So are commission members and City Council representatives. ! While they wish to see the city grow and expand, they want to exert control. Control is the main issue with developers; some view Denton as "and-business" or " (an image problem alluded to earlier in this report), based on problems they anti-growth " Iications for projects more often after they have tticeived ini tial have encountered with aPP approval and then rnust make changes that cost money in later stages, according to their com,aents during interviews for this pro}ect• They want ordinances provided andtcclearly defined, and they believe that policies are not requirements. City staff, cc ul~ ordinances developers, have too much flexibility contemning the interpretation of p and regulations. one developer said, "Some abuses (concerning policies) have occurred, and some requirements are necessary. Other requirements are too inclusive; it's overkill." 16- He added, "Developers would like specifications written as ordinances. Give e or an ordinance that says )at they must do so that they can look at the developers a cod cost and decide whether they actually want to do the project. Make ordinances and codes related to good construction, and let the developers build the project. Some city staff are just frustrated engineers who want to build and design your project for you." A policy, according to project research, is a general guideline to decision making. It is a framework, consistent with organizational objectives, to help managers make decisions. Yet a policy is only a guideline because it usually gives a manager some degree of discredon for making decisions. This broad definition refiects the definition of policy in Denton concerning development, according to Frank Robbins. The Denton Development Plan (DDP) is described on the first page of the document as Denton s "policies for growth." It includes a long-range plan, definitions of intensity area policies, and discussions of transportation, parks and recteation, economic development and other areas. "Planned development is basically subjective;' said Robbins during an interview, "WHch involves going through a narrowing process to zoning and then to Moiling. Zoning is the actual use of the land; then you regulate land use and the buildings. We use the policies of the DDP as the basis of rezoning :n Denton. The city staff make the first intomottott with the applicant concerning what policy is applicable. Then we look at ~J t'a. mated issues." He added tiaras state law (both legislative and Judicial) says zoning must ' in accordance with a city's masterplanlpolicy "the DDP, in our case" which gives staff eneral, according to Robbins, but flexibility in making their decisions. Policies nee3 to beg process as well. they roust be consistently applied. And every ordinance has an appeal p In a related matter, according to some officials interviewed dew topers just don't want to read and abide by the nDP. Planned development requires a oat deal of upfront costs for surveys and '%tnpact studies; it also requires much mcce interaction in the actual design proce5a by planning and development staff. This interaction is perceived by f s builders and/or developers as inconsistent, costly and untimely. Time is necessary for the process, said a Planning and Zoning Commission member, and city staff work to compromise with developers. The process is not static, and cooperation plus good communication can circumvent most problems. Landscaping and sign ordinances seem to be a real problem for many developers, but "our ordinance is not any stronger than other cities," he said. But perception is everything... so the saying goes. This addage applies to conflicts in Denton between city staff and developers. Whether they are right or wrong doesn't nu-ter perception affects the attitudes and interaction of people at all levels. Development in Denton is no exception. Some developers interviewed offered these thoughts: Perhaps city staff feel an obligation to expand ordinances by using policies that protect Denton and its citizens' best interests. Perhaps their personal preferences or beliefs affect their decisions as everyone's do at one time or another. The staff work diligently to earnestly enforce the DDP and accompanying specifications that will determine the course Denton will take into the next century. ~ J Some builders who were interviewed for this project added: Maybe developers don't want to take the time to read all of the land use rules and regulations. Maybe they don't want to invest more money than necessary in a project particularly if changes in approval mean additional expenses after a project has gone beyond the point of no return. Maybc some prn-fer the "good ole boy" network and don't like to follow a system that slows progress as they view it and impedes development. Denco 911 is a go)d example of intentions gone bad and relationships soured. Located on land originally zoned for agricultural use, the proposed Denco 911 site violated several policies, according to Frank Robbins: intensity, separation from other businesses (the distance between businesses in this zone were required to be at least one- t half mile apart) and the 20 percent rule. Prior to the 1593 case, several petitiors to rezone the land for general retail use and office use were submitted. Planning and Zoning recommended denial, and no appeals to the City Council were filed. As mentioned previously, the DDP is the city's policy for development in Denton. When the developer for Denco 911 approached planning and development staff with his plan, staff suggested that he submit a document for planned development of the land, ~I according to an interview with Frank Robbins. Disagreements over rezoning for types of 1 use, inclusion of a buffer zone that would sef arate a neighborhood from the proposed building and other problems - including a lack of futu-c site plans for development in addition to the 911 building hampered the project. The issue of extending utilities was a factor, plus lighting, traffic and additional uses and development of the land (because Denco 911 would occupy and use less that. on,-,- half of the property). The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended rezoning the land to "office with conditions".: permitted used for office, professional and administration; j a 40-foot building setback and 20 vot parking setback from Interstate 35; a residential setback of 25 feet; a maximum b6lding height of two stories; a maximum single building i size of 30,000 sgaure feet (for any building that would occupy this area); and street access J from I-35 only. Denco 911 developers indicated that the buffer zone which had to extend beyond the used portion of the prcpenAuilding and which they would be responsible for installing and maintaining was too expensive and not a tequimment under the DDP. After meetings and citizen input from people who did and did not live in the adjacent neighborhood, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that suggestions made by planning and development stiff for anything other than office use be dropped and that other staff recommendations be kept. Additionally, a total of 36 reply forms were mailed to residents within 200 feet of the 3.46 acre tract, and more than 20 -19 -r ipercent of the landowners had protested the rezoning. One of the site developers stated in a public hearing that neighbors had eliminated almost all possible uses for the land during their negotiations and challenged the idea that the piece of property in question would ever be a residential area. In a separate interview for this project, one of the developers said, "Denco 911 was a total travesty. The city staff turned a neighborhood loose on it, gave them 30 things they could complain about, and the neighborhood took up all 30 complaints." He added that, in general, the. city has let the f citizens design the community..: nosily by emotion. "Denco 911 is a classic case of miscommunication. The city wanted i4 and Planning and Zoning let it get out of hand." According to Frank Robbins, the DDP is the city's policy for development. "1 have different policies that gn with different intensities (of land use). You want policies that are very general within the plan. For example, with Denco9l1, the staff suggested to 1 developers that they start cMth planned development, but they didn't have enough 4 information at that time on all of the specifics. The staff suggested the bt:ffer yard which is not in the ordinance. Other groups have put in buffer yards without argument. Buffer yards have been standard for ell zoning cases for the last two yeas. Pep Boys came up before the staff started recommending buffer yards. We haven't told developers that they have to do it; it's our recommendation. If they cant agree, then we go to the Planning and Zoning Commission as arbitor." He added, "Every ordinance has an appeal if someone feels that something's not there or if they disagree with the staffs interpretation. Staff never have unequivocal authority over anyone there are appeals ptocesses." Ile DDP, according to Robbins, is "the constitution of land use" in Denton, and the city almost never toms down a zoning hange because "we can work it out." Some developers may have argued that the DDP was not comprehensive enough at its inception and and that it created the Denco 911 dilemma. Perhaps they were accustomed -20- i to practices that occurred before the creation of the DDP and didn't like the new procedures that hate accompanied change. But P&Z Commission chair Jim Engelbrecht said, "When the Denton Development Plan was created, the Denton Land Use Planning Committee did not make the corridor along 1.35 all business because they had looked at other large cities in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and saw that houses do and will build right up to the highway." Maybe. Maybe not. A balancing act? solutions for planning and deb elo~menr in Denro'd Projects, planning, politics, perceptions.-the problems continue. So do the growing pains. Everyone has them. While developers criticize Denton's tree and sign ordinances, for example t e same problems are occurring in Lewisville. While the Cracker Barrel restaurant o Denton asked for and received an exception to the sign ordinance, it recently fac , a different problem in Lewisville after a project plan had been approved. Cracker Barrel restaurant had. submitted and received approval for its development project of a restaurant and store before the city passed a tree ordinance. According to newspaper reports, restaurant officials promised to work with the city in good faith to save as many trees as possible in a grout of 35 old oaks on the three-acre plot. -J Initial designs for the facility included saving I 1 of the 35 trees, which prompted public outcry from citizens and three members of the Lewisville City Council. Was the debate over trees or variance? That point was not specifically settled. However, an outside firm (other than the project's original developers for Cracker Barrel) studied the problem and submitted a new proposal that included saving 17 of the 35 trees, adding 66 new trees and more than 1CO new shrubs, plus installing an irrigation system to ensure the survival of the older oaks, according to a series of reports and editorials in the Denton Record- Chronicle (Jan. 25, Feb. 5, Feb. 6 and Feb. 16, 1994). -21- i r I 1 L The final result helped business and people concerned about the environment achieve. mutual goals an investment in boJ) economic development and quality of He for the rapidly expanding city in southern Denton County. Like Denton, Lewisville is strug- gling to define where and how it will go through new ordinances and plans ftv the future. Colleyville, another smaller city facing expansion problems, recently approved portions of a Master Plan that will guide them through their development and "growing pains." But the plan is not without controversy, and the debate Ms been heated. Residents and officials are battling over terminology --like the words "buffer zone" as they discussed the Land Use and Thoroughfare portion of the Master Plan in early February, according to the Colleyville News and Times (Feb. 10, 1994). Approval fre this one section alone of the plan has taken two and one-half years of planning and two months of public hearings not to mention walk-outs and abstentions of different cous;:.il members who have warted more public hearings or odor changes. Residents in ColleyviL'e are worried, according to reports, that "buffer zones" are a "sneaky way' to zone land for commercial use. The intent, said Colleyville Mayor Bob Stripling, is to "mitigate the impact when commercial development is built right next to residential (areas)." The buffer zones allow for flexibility, according to officials, but J citizens have stated that they don't want flexibility. Roads and rights-of-way are also part of the debate, and the Land Use and Thor oughfare Plans are only a portion of the overall master plan. The plans will be used by city officials to establish a utility plan and to study impact fees. The completed Master Plan will'eventually go before the entire city council for its approval as the city of Colleyville like Denton, Lewisville and other neighboring areas struggles to decide on a vision for the future, define quality of life and encourage economic development that will contribute to the financial stability and expansion of their communities. .22- I Is Denton mature enough to plan and grow toward the future? Is the city ready to make the transition from rural town to urban city ...to undertake insightful economic I development-to plan fordevelopment and preserve its quality of life? I Perhaps :;e city needs to consider this question, Is it Denton's time yet? Perhaps it can consider an answer based on some additional facts: ■ Local real estate development has been and continues to be affected by the Texas economy, which was depressed from 1980-1991. Savings and loan associaticos, plus bank failures, dumped foreclosed real estate into the market, which resulted in depressed real estate prices. However, this property was mostly absorbed by early 1991, although real estate lending is still constricted. 1 Interest rates were at an all-time high in the 1980s, but they have been dropping since late 1989/early 1990, making borrowing costs (or development costs) less expensive. ■ The 1986 tax law changes gave real estate projects less favorable tax advantages. But growth is inevitable, and Denton must become more customer service oriented by acting now to change the city's "anti-business" reputation and the perceptions (or misperceptions) that exist in the economic development community by educating develop- , i ers and the city's residents about what the future holds. They need to understand that idea. ■ The popelation in the city of Denton can support only a certain level of retail industry, manufacturing and commercial businesses are needed to sustain economic growth as well. Developers are customers, too, and the city of Denton is their supplier. ■ Other cities nearby have grown as developers' businesses were welcomed because Denton leaders and the community itself cannot or do no agree on the type of growth they want for Denton... Industrial-bedroom community ...or otherwise. The city i is divided between those who prefer Denton to retain its "college town" lifestyle and those who pursue economic development and the accompanying change it will bring to a community's quality of life (both negative and positive). .23- 's i a d Is it Denton 's tirne? City and Stare Magazine Wed Denton County as the fifth "Most Up and Coming County" in its September 13,1993, edition. Alliance Airport has brought many opportunities to the area, including the recent addition of the Federal Express hub, and it has prompted housing starts that tripled by the beginning of the fourth quarter of 1993. Peterbilt recently relocated its national headquarters to Denton, and Ben E. Keith Is expanding. Cunrent lower interest rates are making development costs less expensive. Is it Denton's time? Yes...if the city makes a conscious decision to manage and to enhance productivity in planning and development. Documenting and analyzing "where planning and development is" can directly influence a process that should lead to excellence. Four types of activity fit this strategy: ■ Qualitative and quantitative analysis of current government output, costs and performance (for example: restructuring budgets into programs, objectives and other perspectives beyond traditional tabulations; using auditing techniques; analyzing operations and methods and revenue/fund source projects); ■ Identification of community needs and satisfaction with current services J (including surveys, centralized inquiry and/or citizen complaint management, and community meeting or citizen participation events); ■ Solicitation of employee attitudes, suggestions, needs and capabilities (including specialized surveys, as well as constructive management practices that help employees improve productivity and service); and ■ Documentation and analysis of effective practices in other cities (including costs for services, successful and unsuccessful solutions to problems, innovative techniques for management and delivery of specific services, and unique definitions of service objectives which prompt restructuring of programs. -24- e ~I 1 And so the politics, perceptions and problems continur...or will they? What is the answer? There is no one correct solution. Neutralizing tumor and misinformation will require cooperation among all of the parties involved, as well as other members of the community. If Denton wants to grow into the 21st century with quality development projects, excellent educational resources, a strong business community and an exceptional quality of life, its citizens and government agencies must begin working together now by attending meetings, volunteering for service in many capacities and recruiting others to come to Denton. The school board, City Council., commissioners court, boards and commissions, and the chamber of commerce should all be integral parts of a plan to develop Denton in the 21st century, and they should begin now. Entities must work together ...for example: the Denton Independent School District and the city of Denton on the DARE program, as well as playground and park facilities sharing, school cro,sing guards and after-school action sites. D1SD works with the Denton Chamber of Commerce on Adopt-A-School programs; the chamber and the city cooperate on economic development; the city, DISD and county are investigating a three-way cooperative and what they can accomplish together, and the t I { universities provide expertise and programs for education, business and areas like the arts that increase the city's quality of life. The list goes on. The idea is simple everyone must unite LJ find new ways to help Denton grow as its citizens grow together. economic development, education, I participation and commitment (personal, political and financial) are essential elements of a successful future for a city defining its "Vision-for the 21st Century." Perhaps city leaders, staff, developers and residents should view the future of Denton as if they are owners in a new business Denton Development 2000. If they approach building the city as they would build a business, all of Denton 's citizens should consider sJopting some specific steps to achieve this goal, using a two-pronged approach. -25- i j The city government and its staff should create a dynamic plan for growth that focuses on target industries. The city, like a business, cannot be everything for every development group. It should, instead: ■ develop a list of resources that Denton has to offer the business community; ■ develop a profile of business types to attract; a develop a mission statement for growth; ■ develop a list of focus industries that are compatible with Denton's mission; M update and ro-evaluate the missi ~n goals annually; ■ take a more aggressive approach to marketing Denton's qualities and focus industries; ■ establish special procedures and enterprise zones to assist focus industries through the planning and zoning process. Denton businesses and developers must assist the city and its staff with this approach. A collaborative, cooperative partnership would benefit both parties and would strengthen Denton as it expands and prospers. To ensure success, the Denton business community and potential prospects should: -J ■ assist with the development of a mission statement for growth; ■ develop and maintain partnerships with the City Council and city staff; S understand the positions of the City Council, city staff, and neighborhood and special interest groups; ■ research and understand the permitting process; N use the Office of Economic Development and the Denton Chamber of Commerce to target market Denton's focus industries. By establishing a mission statement for growth (with the involvement of groups representing all sides of the issue); updating the statement annually; establishing a target list of business and industries that would bene it Denton's growth most; contacting those target -26- i groups and providing them with detailed explanations of the rules and regulations for building in Denton; assisting them throughout the process and involving city staff from the first steps; and considering the input from elected officials, residents and special interest groups, the city of Denton will be able to grow at a progressive pace, bringing more business and revenues to Denton, while maintaining the quality of life and close community spirit that has made the city an integral part of the fastest growing county in the United States. "A Vision for Denton" is just that --growth, progress, community and prosperity for the 21 st century. j i i I ~ I i J b ' 1 f 1 I 3 ; E -27- i i Ii r ~4 Yq lv ".t Yi~ .f R! ~ f j 1 1 APPENDIX A I Interviews I 1 wY, If Y r ' .1: 1 Pit &A, ir -'4A It I - 1 t Leadership Denton Group Project lntemiew #1 Subject 11-2-93 (Appendix A) 1, group received photo.opy of "letter to the editor" concerning Pep Soys, 8/2189 a. high profile cases generate jargon because it is difficult to "do development in Denton"; leads to ontroverstal zoning cases b. city staff in planning and zoning give little blue cards to people o'ho seek services from that office so that P&Z can assess the process; 98 percent of those forms returned over a S-year period were positive, but staff knows that those who didn't respond and who didn't have a good experience are "out there talking about P&Z" c. three elements to consider 1, regulatory standards are they tcugh? relative to what? define standard? 2. process usually defined in terms of time; is wigh to go through and can pose a problem 3. staff and customer service orientation did staff help them understand regulations and prepare them early for what the process will involve? d. 1991: controversial zoning case followeA by a series of town meetings sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce 1. blue cards are numbered; are trying to get them placed in all of the packets that go out is P&Z's ultimate goal to have evetyone who is coming to P&Z receive one 2. blue cards are anonymous; don't get many back (about 20 percent); need to hand out more - 3. town meetings a. speaker used "Streamlining Regulations" handout for project members b. not many community people or builders attended c. debate sometimes focused on development versus quality of life d. small town environment: the voices are there, but they are a small nvnority; speaker doesn t think there is a strong "no-growth ethic" here; Denton will continue to grow, and there isn t much we can do through regulations to stop it e.

Denton is like other Texas cities concerning regulations, but P&Z doesn't know of any other city that has gone to the length Denton has to srreamline the process d. Denton is interested in quality and value (is related to the level of education here); therefore, will continue to have relatively high standards for development 14. another phenomenon (or "fish story") that feeds the problem perception: na fee for tree removal (is a rumor that the city charges $500 for a tree permit to remove one) #40 i I v i I IE i " j I i I Leadership Denton Group Project /ntervie w #2 Subject 11-3-93 (Appendix A) 1. subject stated that Denton is a friendlier place to do business than it was (used to be) a. talked about Pep Boys and need for insulation, wall, etc. b. you don't really hear complaints concerning signs; Cracker Barrel had to appeal to get an adjustment (subject is on sign board of appear) 2. restrictions in Denton in some areas aren't as rigorous as other towns I a. are now seeing people move from Plano to Denton because it's getting too busy; too much traffic, etc.; they are moving here to build and live in a better atmosphere b. developers are calling city officials and talking to them c. Denton needs more building lots for residential development we need large-end houses and smaller, less expensive homes as well (are building about 70 in the King's Row area in range of about S100,000 to $125,000; are going through the infrastructure process with the city; are also building houses below $100,(X10 in east Denton) we don 7t have a residential developer in Denson; think that will change 3. mayor of Flower Mound says his city will end up being almost all residential, little v)mmercial construction, and the tax burden will be on the homeowners a. Southridge doing well, plus Hunter's Ridge (on Lillian Miller) and areas further south of Lillian Miller are also undergoing the process of infrastructure b. Denton passed zoning on a residential area on Country Club Road, but the developer didn't do anything (problem for city: sometimes developers don't get funding) c. Denton is in good shape for bigger developers (the Hunts, Basses, Perots own property within the city limilts) I 1. in 1980s, the Basses of Fort Worth wanted to do a development in east { Denton; had to open a thoroughfare between 1.35 and Hwy. 380; the city at that time was i so and-development that the Basses abandoned the project ~l 2. lot of quality development here eg Fxposition Mills (Hunt-owned), etc. d, city has annexed about 900 acres for the Perots on 1.35 West; also have 3,300 acres on the west side of town (probably won't develop that until Alliance expands more) e. the election for the 1/2 cent sales tax increase: state law requires that you cut property tax with a sales tax increase (will reduce property taxes about 20 percent) f.

(partial notes for this interview) the Denton Chamber of Commerce should take a stand I (concerning development); instead of being self-serving, should be promoting business and development it. our taxes are higher than any in the surrounding area ~ b. businesses are very supportive of UNT and TWU the schools are good for Denton and all of us; subject is concerned that professors want to maintain the status quo but "our geographic location dictates otherwise" 1. DFW is the next LA, growth-wise 2. a logical plan is to have international headquarters here (quicker and easier to get to and from here than anywhere else); DFW will compete with Atlanta to be the hubAntemational hub for business c. sometimes is perceived that the universities don't support business in Denton , d. Alliance, in dmc, will become one of the greatest freight hubs in the U.S. e. the big competitor in this area is Ross Perot 2, there are it lot of opportunities here and good quality of life; we need a balance of input of activity and politics chy-wise that citizens generally don't get 3. perception of developers that have been hero is that the city saff isn't "user friendly" a., the city needs to market Denton to the DF1'V community b. deal with developers and the big-name people who locate others talk to them, show them the city, cover platting and zoning, and show them what can be done and how quickly (they need to know Denton is friendly rather than an adversarial relationship) c. " the concept is what has to be changed d. Denton has to be an overachiever at least for a while (but subject doe t think that this will come from the "Vision" project) 1. deciding on businesses for Denton and changing attitudes must go hand- in-hand so that Denton can move forward 2, some group needs to get with the people here to change perceptions and to make sun that people can be honest about ho% they feet (without retaliation) and then do something to solve the problems (Warren will call Mike Ramos to get names/oontacts of DFW developers) 4, two key points from Mike Ramos (according to Warren): you need to go beyond cooperation; must go out and bring in new business and developers I 5. interesting situation discussed 1 a.

Weinstein's "Vision" report again a. according to 1992 Texas Directory of Manafact ureres: 1. have 60 independent operations in Denton and 5,000 workers; 2. there are few cities this size (like Denton) with serious circumstance (compared to Texas); 3. Denton industries arc founded on contracting and which cannot be counted on for economic growth, etc.; 4. Denton's industries are found in areas that are shedding employment instead of those areas (for example, computers) that are growing; 5. and city may end up with an environment like Highland Park where only houses (homeowners) support the community b. we need a com merci al revival to support our schools in the 21 st century 1 1 4 - 1 i LEADERSHIP DENTON PROJECT GROUP #2 Statement: Why does the city staff say "No"?

Some notes from the writer: 1. There may be a tendency on the part of the reader to feel that this group was highly critical of the regulatory process. I would view their tone as helpful and critical in a positive sense. 2. Let me avoid being defensive about the comments, except to say., o Asking questions about and soliciting responses to "its tough to develop in Denton" will result in responses of this type. o Attached is our customer service orientation code, "Faster, Easier, Cheaper, Better", a 1979 survey, and the latest "little blue cards" we hand out to our customers. 3, we intond to continue to act on many of the comments, J particularly those concerning: o Getting out. o Helping create visions. o instilling customer orientation, "working for you." o Developing benchmarks and performance measures. o Continue to "stay close to our customers".

Concentration of development and regulatory knowledge and the authority to decide is desirable. 'one stop' permitting and Information provision Is desirable. Broad and In -depth knowledge of all aspects of the regulations by ail the actors who may participate in the process Is desirable. Regulators with broad in-depth knowledge are preferable to specialists. Development review is a staff priority. Developers and builders are treated as clients.'Passing the client around' Is minimize. Staff provide quick, accurate, and comprehensive answers. 3ASIMMI: Understandable by laymen. User friendly. The regulatory process Is easy to follow and Is In a logical sequence, parallel to the development process. The regulatory language is as much as possible non-technical. Technical terms are clearly defined In simple terms. The format of regulations makes for quick reading and answers. There are complete tables of contents and Indexes. The regulations are word processed for examples are illustrations, Intent statements, easy amendment. commentary, and helpful. CHEAPER: A faster process costs less. Elimination of unnecessary or redundant steps saves materiei and time. Easy to understand and use regulations, logical process, and comprehensive Information giving avoid costly errors and ado overs'. The greater the ability and authority of a fewer number of staff to make more recommendations and decisions, the quicker and the cheaper the process. The costs to produce necessary Information are minimized. BETTER: Regulate precisely all the which will predictably and a form and manner needs regulated in directly result in the protections it needs and the visions it has. Do not regulate what does not need regulating. Drat wItthe Use appropriate flexibility and apply he rules regulatory process to facilitate a merging of market and financial forces with community objectives. Unified codes may be faster and better. Now Y k i` C, Developer/Builder Rating Of Selected Cities An attitude survey was conducted among builders and developers in Denton and throughout the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. The purpose ( was to solicit opinions and awareness of the Denton housing market. The survey sample was selected by a joint effort of the City of Denton Planning Department, MDS and CPI. The survey was conducted by a mailing which included a letter of explanation and a rating form to be filled out by the respondent. Mailings were made to 102 persons including the leading builders and developers and the list of 20 persons involved in the Denton housing market. A total of 33 usable responses were returned - 12 from the Denton list and 21 from the Dallas/Ft. Worth list. The survey results are tabula- ted on the survey form shown in the following exhibit. A seven-point rating system (from -3 to +1) was applied to nine issues. The rank among the comparison cities is shown in the rating exhibit. Coumunity Attitude for Growth Denton ranked lower than most of the cities. if the current direction is to encouraga growth, this first must be made known to the developers and builders. Adequacy of Community Facilities The only cities ranking higher than Denton are + e larger metropolitan cities.. Image of City Denton ranks a close third to Dallas indicating a ,ood rating above most other cities. I 40 y Sin le Famil Market Potential Impressions among developers and builders are based on past experience. The leaders among the building industry must be made r aware that Denton now has an expanding industrial employment base. wu_ 1_1_Tami+r arket potential A a.arketing effort must be launched to show that Denton has a good demand for apartments from local residents as opposed to the probable impressions of a market for off-campus students only. Land v es The fact that Denton has relatively low land values must be ' used in support Of the efforts to show a strong housing market. Ever effort must be made to maintain the relative position and erevent inflated land rices as a result of the otential demand. Subdi_:ion Requirements The respondents are of the opinion that only Fort Worth and Dallas have stiffer subdivision requirements. i toning Requirements The respondents rank Denton as well as most cities as somewhat restrictive in zoning requirements. If these codes are designed to preserve the vitality of existing neighborhood yet permit orderly r new development then the rating is of no major concern. ~--J Build in -Codes Impressions are that Denton has a restrictive building code. One respondent commented that "the problem is i. delays and not red tagging on the first visit'. This possibly indicates a need for improvement in communication and cooperation with the builders a by the inspection department. it i,y i r.

If these areas are identified the problem and facts should be addressed. A signifant finding of the survey was that several of the respondents from Denton were not able to evaluate the comparison cities, therefore it appears their rating was based strictly on their knowledge and opinion of Denton. On the other hand several of the respondents from Dallas and Fort worth rated most of the other cities but could not rate Denton. These findings indicate a need for information that will present the facts to both those involved in the Denton market and the Metroplex builders outside the Denton market. In summary, efforts to encourage housing growth in Denton re- quire an effort to educate the leaders in the Metroplex housing industry. The marketing effort should be a joint effort by the Chamber of Commerce, industrial leaders and city officials. D. Assessing The Availability of Construction and Mortgage Financing At this time interest rates are at or above the usu.y rate set by the State of Texas placing abnormal limitations on the avail- ability of financing. This is the current situation for all metro- plex cities# In respect to single family housing, the local sav- ings and loand along with branches of the larger metroplex savings and loans provide adequate funds for owner occupied single family and 2-4 family residences. At the present rate of single family housing sales, the local supply with the support of the Dallas- Fort worth associations involved in the Denton market (Gibraltar, 13 I -'d s s First Texas) is adequate. At the projected higher rates of hous- ing sales additional funds from outside Denton will be required. An informal survey of various financial agencies indicates that there are no apparent restrictions regarding the Denton market as compared to other growing cities. Funds for multi-family housing (investment properties) is less readily available. Investors generally cannot obtain funds in Denton. Several of those surveyed indicated a somewhat negative attitude considering Denton a "college town". They indicated that the pre- w sentation of the request for financing sometimes was weak. Im- a proving the image of Denton will require a concerted effort by both the public sector and the individual developers in a joint effort to Assure the feasibility and success of planned projects. E. Assessing The Construction Labor Supply I I Every industry has some problem in matching the available labor supply to its job openings. This is especially true when unemployment is low, such as the current 2.51 unemployment rite of Denton County. Data are not available specifically for to City of Denton but the county data can be used as an indicator d the City's construction labor force status. I The Texas Employment Commission reported on January 9, 179, that there were approximately 100 applications for construct. n employment. Other reports by T.E.C. show that employment in on- struction ranges from 900 to 1,200. This indicates that coun y- wide unemployment of construction workers is approximately 101. This is consistent with national estimates that repoxr, construction unemployment at 101, which is above the 61 overall unemployment. 44 i i as ! ant return it to us. it rill Dal, our s.rvl1lc.a to you. p purpose of visit. ~~it of ~,enx Ti.;. s D!d we enaver your questions or do what you needed• 60 a $ was our staff courteous and helpful to yowl . we way o g E - u t.ie~ul ¢ stwek Y. -3 " s aura wva aw..et es or suggestlons.

Locust street is designated as a primary arterial. Five (5) feet of right-of-way on N. Locust is to be dedicated in order to make the right-of-way 50 feet from centerline. Right-of-way on Windsor is adequate. 2. A right turn lane from Locust onto Windsor, as required, is acceptable as shown on the Detailed Plan. No other street improvements are warranted as Windsor is already improved and Locust is a state highway. 3. Sidewalks are existing on Windsor; therefore, the developer is required to install sidewalks on Locust only. 4. The driveway locations, as shown, are acceptable to the Engineering Department. Utilities Water: An eight (S) inch water line is available along the III north side of Windsor. There is a 12 inch water line I along the west side of Locust= however, this water line is available only by boring due to its location ~J on the opposite side of a state highway. Sewers A ten (10) inch sanitary sewer line is available on the north side of Windsor. Fires Additional fire hydrants are required at the northeast corner of Windsor and Locust and also approximately 300 feet south of the intersection along Locust. The proposed hydrant on Locust may be from a six (6) inch tap off of the existing 12 inch water line on Locust. The hydrants will be installed at the developer's expense. i i wpm (Came 3-91-021) Page Taree SPECIAL INPORKATION - Continued Electric: A four (4) inch PVC conduit shall be provided by `he customer from the transformer pad to the edge of the property line on the Locust Street side. Also a ono (1) inch conduit will be required from the transformer pad to the metering box. Landscapiage In accordance with the Landscape and Tree Preservation Ordinance, a minimum of 20 percent streetyard must be landscaped. The panropscosed detailed an reflects 30 percent for the total streetyard In addition, because of the close proximity of the residence to the south, the applicant is proposing a bufferyard with a six foot high "brick crete" screening wall. The screening wall will follow the property boundary along the southern and eastern portijns of the tract and will terminate inside of the property near the northeast portion of the site, In order to provide partial screening from the neighbors west of Locust and north of Windsor, the applicant is proposing three (3) foot high berms supplemented with trees and shrubs. Drainages The on-site detention pond is generally acceptable; however, the applicant shall provide drainage calculations to the Engineering Department for their review and approval prior to final plat approval. HISTORY On April 17, 1984, the City Council approved the rezoning of Planned Development No, 72 from the Agricultural District. PD-72 consists of 127.484 acres of land and is almost entirely north of Windsor Drive. The 4.116 acre tract is located south of Windsor PD-72 was approved for a mixed-use development consisting oft 60 acres SF-7 lots 24.7 acres Duplex/4 plex (Case 9-91-021) Page Your HISTORY - Continued 16.1 acres Multi-family 10.0 acres Floodway/Open Space *4.14 acres Neighborhood service 9.0 acres Carden Homes On July 16, 19910 the City council approved an amendment to the boundaries of PD-72 by deleting 0.196 acres from the district and adopting a revised concept plan showing the -new boundaries; changing the zoning on the excluded land from PD to SF-7. On Tanuary 8, 1992, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of this detailed plan; however, they requested that the City Council look into the street parking situation, a left turn lane on southbound Locust, and that close attention be paid to the berms, as shown on the Landscape Plan, not be in the site distant triangle (5-1). ANALY918 The site is located in a low intensity area, according to the Denton Development Plan. These areas are primarily intended for the protection and preservation of residential neighborhoods. The Plan does however, allow for nonresidential uses as well, subject ~J to the following policies: 1. Strict site plan control within 1600 feet of existing low density residential areas. Comments. The detailed plan submitted reflects sensitivity towards the surrounding neighborhood by the increased landscaping, bufferyards, and screening being utilized. 2. Traffic design to ensure that multi-family and nonresidential uses have access to collectors or larger arterials with no direct access through residential streets. comments Locust is a primary arterial as well as a state highway. Windsor, according to the thoroughfare plan is designated as a secondary arterial. G f I , I (Cass 3-91-0311 lags live i ANALYSIS - continued 3- The overall density/intensity standard is not violated. Commend According to the PD 72 plan, this iparticular site has At the t a land use designation of neighborhood ebased.on averagine of approval of PD-720 2691 intensity trips were allocated (4.14 x 650). Because the detailed plan reflects square footage, a reduction of 728.4 intensity trips occurs (121710 sf/1000 x 60 - 1962.6). 4.

This specific site was designated as "neighborhood service" via PO-72. With regards to the traffic concerns, the applicant has submitted a traffic impact analysis (TIA). The Engineering Department has analyzed the report and finds it acceptable. The results of this TIA indicate that the intersection of Locust and Windsor Is currently operating at an excellent level of service and will continue to do so after the proposed site is constructed and fully operational. In addition, an evaluation of this increase in vehicular traffic volumes on Locust and Windsor with respect to the school pedestrian environment indicated a very minimal impact. The additional 50 plus vehicles that are anticipated will travel on both streets during the afternoon dismissal period and will not necessitate any change in the existing school area traffic controls. The right turn lane proposed on Locust at Windsor will assist in maintaining a level of service B while assisting school bound traffic in turning at the intersection. Also, the additional sidewalk shown on the site plan along the west property line will certainly aid in improving the pedestrian walking environment in the area immediately adjacent to the school. In regards to the drainage concern, the subdivision ordinance requires the developer to adequately handle site drainage. The applicant has chosen an on-site detention pond as opposed to major off-site improveLents. r ` (Case 2-91-021) Page Beven RECOMMENDATION Planning and Zoning commission recommends approval (5-1). The Planning and Zoning Commissio:~ requested that the City Council look into (2) issues when considering this detailed plan. 1. Passibility of a left turn lane for southbound traffic on Locust. 2. Restricting on-street parking along Food Lion's frontage on Windsor. In addition, they requested that staff pay close attention to the site distance triangle with regard to the proposed berms. Since the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, DISD has met and asked that the Council consider the following conditions: 1. Temporary fencing shall be placed around the site during the I; construction phase; 2. There will be no deliveries allowed by trucks that weight more than 12,000 pounds between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Staff recommends that these conditions be adopted with the ordinance approving the Detailed Plan. DISD also asked that a fence be placed around the detention pond. a short condition period of time unnecessary and because would detrct i from stand J Staff f pond for this in the the aesthetics of this open space.

Brfckell, Mulcahy and Associatts, Inc. has completed a Traffic Impact Analysis (TLV with reference to the proposed development of a Food Lion Supermarket to be located in the southeast corner of the intersection of N. Locust Street and Windsor Drive in Denton, Twat, DEVELOPMENT PLAN The proposed plan contains a food store of approximately 32,710 square fed and prouldes 164 parking spaces. There are two o"ess points to the site., one on Locust approximately 400 fed south of Windsor and the other on Windsor approximately 300 feet east of Locust. Figure 1 has been included which depicts the propos:d site plan. Our discussions with your office have indicated that at part of this development a right turn lane will be constructed on Locust for vehtcies desiring to turn east onto Windsor. EXISTING CONDITIONS Locust at this location is a two lane facility and is detignattd as FM Route 2164 while Windsor is a k four lone City sired, A simple two phase traffic signal installation controls traffic operations at this intersection. Strickland Junior Ktgh School is located on Windsor Just east of the proposed sits Classes begin between 8.00.8:15 A.M. and dismiss at 3,16.3.40 P.M. School area 40k oontrols include an adult crossing guard and reduced school speed sores that are it effect during tics morning and oflernoon school beginning and dismissal periods.

McKinney. Presents Jim Engelbrecht, Ivan Glasscock, Judd Holt, Mary Evelyn Huey, William Kamman, and Fran Morgan Absents Roy Appleton III Present from Stafft Frank Robbins, Executive Director for Planning and Development; Karen Feshari, Urban Planner; Joe Morris, Assistant City Attorney; Owen Yost, Urban Planner; and Todd Parton, Planning Technician Chairman Holt called the meeting to order. 1. Food Lion a. Hold a public hearing and consider a detailed plan on a portion of Planned Development No. 72 (PD-72). Twenty property owners were notified within a 200' radius; 9 letters were received in opposition, 2 in favor, and i undecided. Staff Reports Ms. Feshari stated that the petition is a request for approval of a detailed site plan in a portion of PD-72 for the purpose of a retail grocery store with off-premise sale of beer/wine. It consists of 4.116 acres located at the southeast corner of North Locust and Windsor, adjacent to Strickland Junior Nigh School. The surrounding land uses of the site to the north is PD-72, a portion of which was recently taken out of PD-72 and zoned SF-7. To the south, east, and west is property zoned Agriculture which is used for single family residences. Locust Strest'is designated as a primary arterial. Five feet of right-of-way on North Locust will be dedicated in order to make the right-of-way 50' from centerline. Right-of-way on Windsor is adequate. The applicant is required to install a right turn lane from Locust onto Windsor. It is acceptable as shown on the site plan. No other street improvements are warranted as Windsor is already improved and Locust is a state highway. Sidewalks are existing on Windsor; therefore, the, development is required to install sidewalks on Locust only. The driveway locations as shown arcs acceptable to the Engineering Department. Water and sewer are available to this site; however, additional firs hydrants will be required at the northeast corner of ~9. f P&Z Minutes DRAFT Jan anuary 8, 1991 Page 2 Windsor a int nd Locust and approximately 300, south of the ersection along Locu Landscape and Tree Prose St. In accordance with the rvation Ordinance, a minimum of 20t atreetyard must be landscaped. The proposed detailed plan reflects 30% atreetyard landscaping with an overall of let for the total site. Because of the close proximity of the residence to the south, the ap proposing a buffer yard with a 61 high brick crete nwall along that property line. This screening wall will follow the property boundary along the southern and eastern portions of the tract and will terminate inside the property near the northeast portion of the site. In order to provide partial screening from the neighbors west of Locust and north of Windsor, the applicant is proposing 31 high berms supplemented with trees and scrubs. There will be on-site detention; however to final plat approval the applicant shall prior calculations of the pond to the Engineering Department. On April 17, 2984, the City Council approved rezoning of PD-72 from Agriculture. It originally consisted of 127.4 acres of land. PD-72 is approved for a mixed use development of single-family lots, duplex, four-plex, multi-family, open space, neighborhood service, and garden homes. On July 16, 19911 the City Council approved an amendment to the boundaries of PD-72 by ;i deleting .195 acres from the district and rezoning it SF-7. This according toithe Denton a Development lplan intensity area ~J areas are intended primarily for the (DDP). These preservation o: residential neighborhoods Protection and however allow for non-residential uses as wellsubjectoto the following policies. The first is strict site plan control within 1600) oly anal of existing r densit eflects residential towards The detailed plan submtted sensitivit by the increased landsca inthe surrounding neighborhood being utilized. The second' buffer yards, and screening ensure that multi-family and onon r side tial useaghave access to collectors or larger arterials with no direct access t~r2ugh residential streets. vLocust is a primary arterial as Well as a State hi hwa eccordinq to the Thoroughfare Plan gi desig etd n as o a secondary arterial. The third policy is the overall density and intensity standard. this particular site was allocated When PD-72 was 2 691 intensity trips. It was based on acreage. pprips reflects mquare footage,, there cIssa reductioniOf 728.4 ~G. 1 , 1 f i I I PaZ Minutes DRAFT January 8, 1991 Page 3 i I Intensity trips. The fourth policy is sufficient green space, recreational facilities, and diversity of parks being provided. As noted earlier, 30% of this site is landscaped within the streetyards. The overall landscaping of the site is 18%. The fifth policy is input into planning by neighborhood associations. On December 15, 1991? a neighborhood meeting was conducted by the applicants. Approximately 20 citizens attended. The neighbors immediately adjacent to and in close proximity to this site that were at this meeting appeared to be pleased with the design but did have concerns pertaining to the traffic and drainage situation. A few other citizens that reside outside of the immediate area voiced concern about traffic and drainage but were basically opposed to this area being retail, mainly because of the proximity of the school. The sixth policy is the concentration/separation policy. According to the DDP, neighborhood service centers are small nodes of non- residential establishments intended to offer mainly convenience goods and services at the neighborhood level. These centers shall be located at least 1/2 mile from any other non-residential retail center. The size of non- l residential centers vary from 2 to 5 acres depending on their access to specific categories of thoroughfare. i I Direct access to primary or secondary arterials according to the plan is a maximum of 3 acres. Since this specific site has been designated as neighborhood service through PD-72, we do not consider that this policy is violated. With regard to the traffic concerns, the applicant has submitted a traffic impact analysis. The Engineering Department has analyzed the analysis and finds it acceptable. The results of the traffic impact analysis J indicate that the intersection of Locust and Windsor is currently operating at an excellent level of service and will continue to do so after the development is constructed and operational. In addition, an evaluation of this increase in vehicular traffic volumes on Locust j and Windsor with respect to the school pedestrian environment indicated a very minimal impact. The additional 50+ vehicles that are anticipated will travel on both streets during the afternoon dismissal period, and will not necessitate any change in the existing school area traffic controls. The right turn lane proposed on Locust at Windsor will assist in maintaining level of service B while assisting school-bound traffic in turning at the intersection. Also, the additional sidewalks shown on the site plan along the vest property I i I PiZ Minutes f~ Page 4 RIA January 8, 1991 ~7 F.J. l ines will certainly aid in improving the pedestrian walking environment in the area immediately adjacent to the school. with regards to the drainage concern, the subdivision ordinance requires the developer to adequately handle site drainage. The applicant has chosen an on-site detention pond as opposed to major off- site improvements. On question, Ms. Feshari explained that the DDP allowed a four acre neighborhood service center in 1984. It has changed from that time to now. At the time PD-72 went through the system, they viewed that maximum four acres as being acceptable, that's why it didn't violate the policy of tLe plan at that time. The definition she gave earlier of neighborhood rervice centers is verbatim from the DDP. There is no definition of neighborhood service in the Zoning Ordinanci. The only definition is in the DDP. Mr. Kamman asked if there will be a left turn lane off of Locust for south-bound vehicles. Ms. Feshari said no. Mr. Kamman asked it any congestion could be anticipated. Ms. Feshari replied that the applicant hired a traffic engineering consulting firm and they did an extensive impact analysis on the site. The Enjineering Department reviewed it with them and did not anticipate any problems at that location. Ms. Morgan asked what "generally acceptable" means. Me. Feshari answered that it a standard phrase. Mr. Engelbrecht asked about Windsor being four lanes. It is currently striped for two lanes. Ms. Feshari said that it is large enough to be striped for four lanes. Mr. Salmon said that it is currently striped with more than two lanes at the intersection and is only striped as two lanes further to the east. The pavement is wide enough to provide parking on both sides and have four lanes of through traffic. Mr. Engelbrecht asked if parking will be continued on the P&Z Minutes January 8, 1991 Page 5 south side of Windsor on:e this facility goes in. Mr. Salmon said that the street is wide enough to have parking plus four lanes of traffic. He assumes parking would still be allowed on the street unless it became a probler. for some reason. Mr. Engelbrecht said that going through the intersection it becomes confusing as to whether there are two or four lanes. It will become a similar intersection to the one at Malone and University. Will the developer be required to expand the striping? Mr. Salmon replied that it has not been required up to this point. The street is functioning at a good level of service and this particular development does not add enough traffic to the street to warrant any additional improvements. Mr. Kamman said that he thinks parking in the street by j a curb cut would create a problem by blocking vision. Mr. Salmon said that there is an ordinance requiring people to park so many feet away from driveway openings. That is enforced through the Police Department. If therb are a lot of problems with on-street parking in front of the facility, it will be looked into. It would take an ~J act of City council to remove the parking. Ms. Huey asked if there is a potential that parking in front of the school might have to be removed. Mr. Salmon said that he was referring to the parking in front of the store itself. Petitioners Phil Abell, Architect Design Group, stated that he represents the developer of Food Lion Grocery stores. Windsor is on the north side of this site running east and west, Locust is on the went side running north and south. Two entrances are proposed into the facility which most the minimum setback requirements of the City. An attempt to screen the parking lot by the addition of some trees and a hedgerow atop a berm has been made. in addition, they most or exceed the landscape requirements of the City of Denton which are quite extensive compared to other areas.

Food Lion has built an 850,000 square foot distribution center off of I-35W near the Alliance area. They are currently looking to expand that center. It will serve the existing stores in the Dallas-Fort worth area and those that are currently being developed throughout the region. Denton has long been on a list of sites to serve. Food Lion create couldabeyan muchsas 61 overall. mIfkFoodnLion o can aserve food at a lower cost, the other stores can too. That benefits the local consumer more than anything. This store will not be a 24 hour store. Out of their 900 stores across the nation, only 1 is a 24 hour store and it is adjacent to a submarine base. Food Lion wants to f be a good neighbor. The School District has been i contacted to find out their concerns and another meeting I has been scheduled with them on Friday. They have not expressed any major concerns at this point. A six foot screen fence will be put all the way around the store j which will force the children to use the sidew*.lks j instead of cutting through the parking lot. Then are also installing a sidewalk along Locust. There will be one internally illuminated sign that meets the sign ordinance. Ns. Huey asked if the grade of the land will remain the same. Hr. Abell explained that there will not be a retaining wall. The land currently slopes from Locust to the east property line. They will have to depress the parking lot somewhat. The greenbelt will remain at its present grade although there may be some amount of berming to facilitate screening. A public utility easement will be dedicated to facilitate future City expansions. Na. Huey asked how the depression on the west side and the berming will Impact the drainage situation. Mr. Abell replied that it will essentially not be impacted at all. Currently anything that falls in Locust runs in the borrow ditch on either side of Locust. That will not be effected. Everything that falls in their 3~ I I I Pit Minutes January 8, 1991 Page 7 DRAFT area will be directed to their detention area for holding and proper release. No. Huey asked how the detention area works. Mr. Abell said that it is like draining everything into an empty swimming pool, filling it up, and then releasing it with a small pipe at a flow rate designated by the City. For the most part it will be an empty grass area that is dry and then only fills up with water in the event of heavy rains. Mr. Glasscock asked how much business the store will have. Mr. Abell said that he is not aware of the projections. He showed a picture of a complete store that is next to residences and a day care center. Mr. Engelbrecht asked if they would have a problem establishing a no-parking zone on the street in front of the store. Mr. Abell said that they do not have a problem with that. It is really a City matter. There is parking across the street and there is parking at the school as well. Mr. Engelbrecht said that considering the fact that there is a larger amount of pedestrian traffic, mainly younger children, there is one down side to the berms in terms of ~J line of sight. He asked if they had looked at the berms in terms of their line of sight onto the sidewalk from the driveway coming out onto Windsor. Mr. Abell said they could provide any type of sight triangle for the berm. They initially put the berms in .the area for screening but they can be adjusted. Mr. Engelbrecht asked staff to take a look at the berms with regards to the line of sight at Windsor because of the large amount of pedestrian traffic. There needs to be a good line of sight there. He also asked if there are problems with children at this facility, does Food Lion feel that the school district is responsible for the behavior of those children on the food Lion property. Mr. Abell said that he cannot speak directly for food I 1 f ~ PiZ Minutes January a, 1991 Page d D'AFm Lion. It would be his ante hold the school district responsible ort8^yhi^gld not Mr. Engelbrecht asked if there were problems would they call in the school district or the principal of the neighboring school, Mr. Abell said yes. There will be a manager of the store and the goings His first on in this site will be his responsibility handle. meet wi hthe principalioflthe t school and seeb what could be solved. Mr. Engelbrecht said that he has a problem with that. When the children leave the school they belong to the parents and the community, not to the school. Foo-1 Lion chose the site knowing the school was there, and it is important to establish up front where everybody stands in this relationship. They are not the responsibility of the school district. Mr. Abell said that things such as loitering and vandalism are .civil matters and they will be addressed as such. In favor: Giles Gowing, 2906 N. has lived in his house for 35 years. in his dopinion, anything that is good for the City, school, and county, he is in favor of. He lives right there by it. Donna Jeans, 3101 Cedar Hill, which is the second cul-de- sac across the street from Strickland junior High. she also owns property at 3105 and 3107 Cedar Hill, 3100 Inglewood, and 3104 Inglewood. She has spoken with her renters and they are in favor of this project. She would like to welcome Food Lion to the neighborhood. If they do choose to build, she will build another duplex of probably $1200000 value, on those additional lots that she has. Mrs. Blagg, owner of property to the south of the site, said that she is in favor of the development. They need some kind of business out there in that part of town. She is not against it. In oppositions Tom Moods said that he lives on Teasley Lana but he is representing his parents that live i Piz minutes IiH AF T January Be 1991 Page 9 directly across the street from the proposed site.

The increased traffic is a minor portion of it.

There is also problems with businesses being located near a school. There will be vandalism and graffiti. It will be an eyesore. It does not make sense to him that this business is going to be so small in a remote location. It they project that much business then why aren't they going along University or Loo 288. There is no data for review on their sales protections. Was there any consideration about putting this up closer to the Loop where it would seem more appropriate? Those intersections are more likely to be commercial. The people living just south of there will change their mind when they try to get out of their driveway in the mornings.

She has heard conflicting things from realtors. She has heard depreciation and appreciation. If the property values do increase, will taxes increase? Will future zoning be commercial or residential. She moved there to live and she wants it to remain a residential area. There is a moral issue and a problem with the sell of beer and wine in a residential area and especially by a school. She foresees a problem with the traffic congestion. With increased traffic is the potential of automobile accidents. From a local Supermarket survey, it was found that deliveries are made from 6 AM to 12 PH and additional deliveries are made from 3 PH to 5 PM in the afternoon. This will be a lot of congestion around rush traffic time. There is also a potential for crime. Will there be local police to patrol the neighborhood or will Food Lion provide their own security. There is also the potential for the parking lot of Food Lion to be come a local hangout. That can be seen on University Drive every night, especially on the weekends. She has a problem with that. In light of the above concerns, she emphaticall - thinks and feels another site should be selected. She presented a petition against Food Lion be allowed at the proposed location. Recommendationi Ms. Feshari statel that staff recommends approval of Z-91-021. ~J Mr. Holt asked if there is any place in town where there is a supermarket in a residential area. Ms. Feshari said that the Food Lion locations in the Metrofk,,x usually try to go into the neighborhoods. Staff tialuated the square footage as opposed to some of the larger supermarkets. Some of the other chains are such larger than this as a general rule. In speaking with the representatives of Food Lion, they will work with the City on hours of operation. The commission could place a condition on the hours of operation and when deliveries can be made. Ms. Huey asked if the beer and wine issue could be separated. Ms. Feshari said that the reason that had to be included is because in the table of permitted uses, beer and wine is listed separate from retail uses. That's why the i I I P&Z Mites "RAFT January 6, 1991 Page 11 application says a grocery and the sale of beer/wine for off-premise consumption. Cities can't impose stricter requirements then what State law imposes. Food Lion will exceed the minimum distance required from the school. Ms. Huey asked if Food Lion has indicated that they would accept restrictions on delivery hours. Ms. Feshari said yes. They usually get deliveries in the morning. Ms. Huey asked if there has been any indication. of the feelings of the School Board. Ms. Feshari said that representatives have met with members of the school district but they have not met with the School Board. They could not get a meeting together before the one on Friday. Rebuttal: Mr. Abell stated that Food Lion has never had to close a store due to lack of sales. Food Lion has typically expanded at a rate of tot per year for the last five years. Basically they are doing it with their own cash. The traffic on Locust is a big concern. It is e State highway and as with all roads and highways, if the load increases because of development north of this area, that will be taken into account and the road upgraded j` accordingly. He is sure that this will not remain a two lane roadway for another 10 years. In relation to the sale of beer and wine, the manager will strictly prohibit the sale to minors. Such a sale could cause the liquor license to be revoked. There are two methods of delivery. There is the large tractor-trailer rig from the distribution center of which one visits each store every day. Typically the tractor-trailer comes in, drops off the trailer, and picks up the trailer that he left the day before that is loaded up with scraps to be recycled. The second truck is a refrigerated truck that may or may not come every day depending on the demand of the store. They do not typically come more than once a day. The only other servicing is a parcel pick-up tone in front of the store that is used by bread vendors, deli and doughnut caters, and special deliveries such as chips and soda pop. Those would be small step van or UPS type trucks. All deliveries are made during store hours. Typical store hours are 7 AM to 11 PM. The traffic analysis that was performed coincided with school pick- it Pit Minutes January 8, 1992 DRAFT Page 12 up/drop off times and rush hour. The maximum peak hour of shopping in the store was projected to be between 3:45 and 4;45. That equated to 55 care within that hour on Windsor generated by the store. That is less than one per minute. Some of those people will be dropping off kids. They will already be going up and down the street. It is not really an additional car on the street, it is just a car that is going to use the store. Food Lion hopes that neighbors will be shopping at the store and not criminals. Graffiti is a civil matter and will not be tolerated. The manager will look to the police department to step up patrols, eta. Most cities have ways to prevent loitering in certain areas. Food Lion wants to be a good neighbor and is not going to put up with any abnormalities that other stores wouldn't tolerate. Chairman Holt closed the public hearing. Hr. Engelbrecht stated that in regard to the concern for pedestrian traffic, there is school related pedestrian traffic in areas worse than this around town, and to date there have not been any problems. Malone and University is a similar situation with a convenience store on the corner. They sell beer and wine as well. They have two curb cuts on each street. In addition, the students cross another parking area which is one giant driveway. There has been a concern about that for years but there has never been an accident. The traffic count is at ~J least as high or higher. The Food Lion site is interesting in that the other three corners are secured from commercial development. There is a park on two corners and residential uses on the third. The only additional traffic in the future will be from Food Lion and Loop 288. That will not be anywhere near the traffic counts at University and Malone when, there is retail on four corners. They have not had an injury there that he knows of in the last eight years. He has also spoken with people in the q:cocery industry, and from what he has heard, Food Lion has a good reputation financially, as an industry leader, and for location management. He does not feel a great concern that they will leave this location because of financial problems in the near future. He believes that the landscaping will provide visual protection for the neighborhood. He would like to add a recommendation that a no-parking zone be established along the entire frontage of this parcel on ~D . i 1 Piz Minutes MIRA F T January 9, 1991 Page 13 Windsor.

The property drains to the southwest. Platting and detailed infrastructure analysis will likely follow toning. HISTORY In 1973, a petition to rezone this site to OR was recommended for denial by staff and the P&w. P&Z suggested Office (0) zoning. The General Retail (GR) case was appealed to Council and was denied by Council on June 5, 1973. A petition for part i of this site to office (0) was filed shortly after June 5th. Staff recommended approval, but P&Z recommended denial, no appeal was made to the City Counoi1. Another office application on the entire site now before the Council was denied by P&Z on October 3, 1973. There was no appeal. Issues raised in 1973 included the need to extend Colonial, damage to existing family home ownership, and OR allowing "too much land use flexibility", See attachment 6. Staff originally suggested in January, 1993 PD zoning, but the applicants were concerned about detailed sits plan requirements. 911 representatives began. meeting with the neighbors on March 16, 1993. The 911 Board invited neighborhood comments in writing and in person at a Board meeting on March 24, 1993. 911 initiated a neighborhood meeting on June 30 1993. After the June 3, 1993 meeting, the applicant changed their petition from General Retail with conditions to Office, { f1 r Case No. Z-93-013 August 3, 1993 Page 2 spECIAL INPORHATION Transportations The site fronts IH35. PiZ proposes that this sitefs vehicular access to Colonial be disallowed. Colonial would be closed at its current, northerly dead end. Utilitiess six inch water and sewer lines exist in Colonial. The site will use the sewer, but extension of a 12-inch water line located just south of Thunderbird along IH35 should be extended for water service, according to master plans for the area. The developer will be responsible for sewer extensions. The Utility Depa,tment has proposed the following for the IH35 water line extension: The city will design and construct both the off-site and front footage portions of the line. The site shall be 12" diameter. The City shall pay for design and construction of the off- site portion. ~--J The City shall pay an oversize amount (8" to 120) for the front frontage portion. The Developer shall pay for the design and construction of the front footage portion. Design cost will be allocated on a linear foot basis. Water Engineering will develop an itemized construction cost estimate which will serve as a not to exceed price to the Developer. Water Engineering will coordinate with legal in an effort to utilize engineers estimates in lieu of competitive bidding to establish the oversize participation amount. e' case No. 2-93-013 August 3, 1993 Page 5 ANALYBIB, continued A summary of the "0" district4's standards with the added conditions is Attachment 1.

There were 19 reply forms mailed on June 23, 1993. by July 14, 1993, landowners of more than 20% of the land within 200 feet of the 3.46 acre tract had protested the rezoning.

The executed instrument shall accompany an application for building permit. If no building permit or Certificate of Occupancy is issued, the agreement shall become null and void. Appeal of staff decisions shall be made to the Planning and Zoning Commission. The bufferyard would be made only on the edge of a platted lot adjacent to a residential use, not along an unplatted area, or an area not being developed. PiZ's recommendation allows for a use which will be in demand on this site. Single family development will have little demand along this IH-35 frontage. To protect the existing homes, the recommendation mitigates visual, traffic, light, and noise externalities that are not as well mitigated by the "straight" office district's kttandards and the landscape ordinance. It may be appropriate tot 1. reconfigure study area 122 to create a study area not so overallocated and/ori 2, change this site to a special purpose IH35 corridor study area. Staff suggested delaying consideration of amending the DDP for this site until the concept of the IH35 corridor special purpose activity area can be discussed in the context of a comprehensive review of the DDP. This DDP review may occur in late 1994 or 1995, given current staffing levels, budget constraints, the Denton Vision project, and other planning priorities. PiZ concurred.

Mr. Cochran asked if he intended for the tea room to be part of the main plans for the structure, or an antique shop. Mr Briggs said the plans were to have both. The tea room was to complement the antique shop. They wanted to serve finger sandwiches, cookies, and cakes, but they were not going to do that right away. Dr. Huey asked about the parking. She said it was he recollection the lot is a great deal higher than the retail center next to it. She asked it there would be any barriers or protection. Mr. Briggs said he wanted to widen the drive and make the parking area extend back to accommodate 13 cars, tt would be landscaped and not be trade to look like a landing strip. Dr. Huey asked what kind of barrier would be put up to protect cars in the parking area next door. Ne. Briggs said there would be additional retainers and plents. IN FAVOR% None IN OPPOSITION: None The public hearing was closed. Mr. Cochran if the tea room could be advertised in their signage. Ms. Mitchell said no, the tea room could not be advertised on any signage for the location. Mr. Cooper asked if this use would not be a disallowed use for retail shops. Ms. Mitchell said an Antique shop would be an approved use. Mr. Glasscock made the motion to recommend Z-93-018 with conditions as recommended by staff, Mr. Cochran seconded and the motion carried unanimously 5-0. II.

F~ Minutes Planning and Zoning July 14, 1993 Page 6 Public hearing was opened. STAFF REPORT: Mr. Robbins gave the staff report. Mr. Robbins reported there were 17 reply forms mailed on June 10, 1:93, one of the property owners did not get notice, because of that, 19 reply forms and notices were mailed a second time. Four notices were received in favor, (two stated office use only), two replies wore undecided and ten were received in opposition. The response received did exceed 20% which will require a super majority of six votes of the council. The site is located in low intensity area number 22. The proposed use would not over load the infrastructure that is in place. There will be some requirements of the developer. The site fronts IR-35 staff is recommending that access not be allowed on Colonial, but only to IH-35. Study area 22 is over-allocated by 13,796 intensity trips. it is 171% allocated. According to the DDP policy, the tract should be evaluated according to the "least intense, most logical use. The separation policy is also violated. The tract is within 1/2 mile of another non-residential land use, the offices to the south. The Thunderbird ROW and two houses separate the site from the existing offices on the south, along IH-35. Other than 911 no other uses are planned. The applicant is requesting some flexibility without future site plan requirements. k A petition to rezone this site to OR was recommended for denim by staff and the PiZ. It was denied by Council on June 5, 1973. P&Z suggested rezoning to office. A petition for part of this si:e to office (0) was filed shortly after June 5th. Staff recommended approval, but PiZ recommended denial, no appeal was made to the City Council. Another office application on the entire site n.)w before the commission was denied by PiZ on October 3, 1973. These was no appeal. issues that were raised in 1973 included the need to extend Colonial, the damage to existing family home ownership, and OR allowing "too much land use flexibility". 911 began meeting with the neighbors on March 16, 1993. The 911 board invited neighborhood comments in writing and in person at a Board meeting on March 24, 1993. After the June 3, 1993 meeting, the applicant amended their petition from General Retail with conditions to office. Staff invited applicants and neighbors to a meeting on June 14, 1993 to explain the staff report. Staff originally suggested PD toning, but the applicants were concerned about the detailed site plan requirements. Kinites Planning and Zoning July 14, 1993 Page 7 I Some of the concerns of the neighbors were as follower 1. If toned GR now it will open the door for other retail lard uses later on. 2, apposition to any retail in the area. 3. Transitional land uses. 4. Development pressure in the area. 5. Concern over the proposed retention pond not being kept up and mosquitos. 60 Staff should not encourage GR becluse it is in a low intensity area. 7, The property between the two office Duildings would be useless for residential purposes. 6. The dumpster being unsightly. 9. Stated preference for office zoning with conditiono. 10. what would happen to the area that 911 does not use. 11. Height requirements. 12. Easier access to the south. Staff recommends rezoning to Office with conditions, O(o). The conditions are as follows: 1. IF-35 setback: Building 40 feet. No parking within the first 20 feet. 2. Maximum heights Two stories 3. Maximum building size: 30,000 square feet. 4. Street access: IH-35 only. 5. Lighting: All outside lighting facilities shall be arranged to reflect the illumination away from or shield from any existing residential buildings, or vacant land zoned for residential buildings. such lighting facilities shall distribute not more than two-to,nths (0.2) of one (1) footcandle of light upon any existing rosidential us', or vacant lznd zoned for residential use. 6. Landscape, screening, and buffering: The following bufferyard standards shall apply: within, an area not less than 20 feet wide, a solid wood or j masonry fence at luist six feet tall with no less than six canopy and ten undertitory trees, shall be provided on a lot ad0lning any residential use or zoning district, between the building and the residential use or zL:A ng district, for every 100 linear feet of let area between this district and adjacent residential use or zoning district, prior to the occupancy of any building within the district. The trees shall be evenly distributed within the area.

Mr. Cochran asked the width of the lot from Ih-35 to the residential property. Mr. Robbins said it was about 322 feet from the right-of-way of IH-35. Dr. Huey mentioned that the residents did not have good access to the south except IH-35 and Bonnie Bras. Mr. Robbins said better access to the south would not be affected by the project. Dr. Huey voiced a concern about security for the people who would work there because of the lighting restrictions. Mr. Robbins said security lights could still be installed under the lighting restrictions. PETITIONERS Mike Pedigo, Executive Director of 911, 250 S. Stemmons, Lewisville, Texas. Mr. Pedigo explained they were requesting a zoning change to be able to purchase property for their office facilities. He gave a brief history of Denco i 9111 and explained that they services 33 titles and the County. 911 is governed by a board of 5 members. Two of those members are appointed by City-Councils, two by County ~J Commissioners, and 1 by the Fire Chiefs Association. Denco 911 is a non-profit organization. They currently have 4 full time and 1 part time employees. The curre,.it office is about 2,200 square feet. The last few years thr, district has been involved in sor* strategic planning for the future. All options were weighed, concerning leasing a facility as opposed to building one. Mr. Pedigo stated that they were responsible for public education and training, so they were also looking for a couple of thousand square feet for training facilities. The training facilities would be used mainly a-5. The training would only be held a couple of times per month, and there would be a maximum of 20 people. He explained that the 911 board had looked for the beat piece of property to meet the needs of the area and be easily accessible to all members. He also mentioned that there were budgetary guidelines that they had to stay within. The plan has been to buy the property and plan to occupy the building January of 1997, but they also needed flexibility. They located eleven pieces of property and narrowed it down to the site that has come before 4 Minutes Planning and Zoning July 14, 1993 Page 9 the Commission. The purchase will be contingent upon the zoning change. Hr. Pedigo said they had met with staff to discussions options. Staff discouraged straight zoning and the 911 district felt that they were not ready at the present time to do a Planned Development. Conditioned zoning was also discussed. It was decided the beat option would be to request office zoning because the district felt that it would be the best way to serve the area. The 911 district hopes that the case will stand its merit. It is a good proposal and it would be done responsibly. Mr. Pedigo said that it the conditions that had been recommended by staff were approved it would limit their flexibility. He stated that they were requesting straight office zoning. Hd also stated that they felt that the area would never be used for a residential area. MR. RUSSELL BATESs 1300 N. Locust, Denton, Texas, of Architectural Collectives. Hr. Bates said he became involved with Denco 911 the first part of May as a site planner. Mr. Bates said that it had been very hard to get everyone together for several neighborhood meetings, and without everyone present it was hard to do any negotiating. After the staff and the neighbors struck all of the uses that they were against it left very little that could actually be done with the property. He said he would challenge anyone to say that the piece of property in question would aver be a residential area. The 911 district looked for the best and most practical use for the property. The Denton Development Plan addresses growth and says we should balance the growth in different areas. He asked for the Commission to look favorably on the project, and to consider all aspects. He said that he felt that Denco 911 would be good neighbors and they had gone above and beyond what should have been called for. Hr. Cochrar said, " Mr. Pedigo, you mentioned how much space you currently use and how many square feet you will need for the training faoflities, but you did not mention how many square feet would actually be used for office space. Mr. Pedigo said approximately 40500 square feet would be used for the office and training. He also mentioned that some time in the future there would be a communications center going in. That was the main reason Denco 911 needed some flexibility. Mr. Cochran asked if Denco 911 was a non-profit organization. Mr.. Pedigo said yes it was. Mr. Cochran asked if 911 intended to build large enough to lease out spaces to others. Minutes Planning and Zoning July 14, 199) Page 10 Mr. Pedigo said they were not planning to lease spaces at the current time. Mr. Cochran mentioned that perhaps some of the neighborhood opposition came from not knowing what was going to go into the area besides 911. Mr. Pedigo said they were not land speculators. They might use all of the property, but if they did not they would have to market the rest. It was also an investment. Mr. Cochran asked how big the tract was. Mr. Pedigo said it was about 3.6 acres. Dr. Huey asked what percentage of the property 911 was planning to use. Hr. Pedigo said maybe half or a little snore, hs.t they were not actually in the developing stage yet. Dr. Huey asked about the lighting. She said she w. s concerned about the safety of the people who may be in the building after dark. Mr. Pedigo said the parking lot lights should provide enough security and still stay within the lighting restrictions. Dr. Huey asked if they were concerned about the IH-35 access. Mr. Pedigo said no, the access did not concern them. Chairman Engelbrecht said it was his understanding that 911 was asking for straight office zoning for 50,000 of., but they were indicating that they would use about 5,000 of. He asked what they intended to do with the rest. He also mentioned if they were non-profit they could not be involved in land speculation. Mr. Pedigo said they were not speculating on the land. They did not actually know at the current time how much of the property they would need, but what they did not use they would sell. Mr. Engelbrecht asked why they were opposed to buffer yards. He explained that the City will be going more and more to the use of buffer yards in the future. Mr. Bates said that Denco 921 was getting hit with a double Minutes Planning and Zoning July 1/, 1993 Page 11 whammy. They wore being told they would have to go Office with restrictions and have buffer yards . An office district does not require buffer yards. Staff has proposed the moreilighttt omra sDreet light gAthanrfromitheslights iin the parking area. Mr. Cochran asked if any of the neighbors had suggested zoning only the area needed by 911 and let other developers go through the process. Mr. Pedigo said their intent was to purchase the property and did not use the entire be able to screen the people coming they In as felt the impact they would have on the area, and they would have to meet the same requirements Denco 911 had. IN FAVOR: BRUCE ZINDELL. Mr. Zindell explained he was the realtor that represented 911 in their search for a piece of property. He explained they did not look just for land, but also a building that would meet their needs. We think we found the property that will most the needs of 911. Thera would probably be some land left after they accessed their needs. Mr. Zindell stated they are not a developer. They want to know they could build on their property for what ever their needs might be. We looked at the pattern, the economics, the office to the south of the residents and raw land.' He pointed out there are no residential areas along IH- 35 except in Lewisville where some older homes were rezoned commercial. He said he did not feel that the area would ever be a residential. He said his job was to find them the best property for their future needs. CHUCK CARPENTERS 1112 Pennsylvania Dr., Director of the Denton Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Carpenter said he was Interested in what goes on along IH-35. He said the land use seems to be consistent with the area and we are here to develop and Peterbiencourage Is goputtingnin9th it nationaltheadquarters. Denton is gradually getting several corporate headquarters. There are 33 cities represented by 911. He said he felt 911 had a reasonable request and it would be a positive move for the city. He said he would appreciate favorable consideration. Dr. Huey asked if Mr. Carpenters support was for straight office zoning or the staff recommendation with conditions. Mr. Carpenter said he would support the applicant as they applied. He explained he was sympathetic to the neighborhood Minutes Planning and Zoning July 1/, 1993 Page 12 but he wanted to make it happen. He said t,e understood the n had some tou make sions to said urgeitheocommis ion to ghelp make Denco 911.fe 1 welcomee~ould Chairman Engelbrecht said he also felt that 911 was a desirable operation r one and but other there thare ings other that issues. would impact O setbacks the residential area. Chairman Engelbrecht said the zoning case actually deals with the piece of land not 911. Mr. Carpenter said he would have faith and confidence in the applicants. Mr. Sucek said the question is will the Office with no conditions be appropriate or office with conditions . You should not look at the possibilities of what can or might be done or who can make money on it, they should just look at the best possible growth and the reasons for it. IN OPPOSITIONS JOHN SCOTT, 2123 Glen Garden Drive, Denton Texas. Mr. Scott said his represented a group of neighbors that have not with the staff and the developer. He said they did not oppose the location of 911 in any way. The issue is that a small portion of the property will actually be used by 911 explained and th eremainder the a not of the property will be sold. He the principal access for the outlet mall.

Ms. Walters said she lived adjacent to the property. The neighborhood is concerned about the negative impact on the area. There are three homes that will be sandwiched. Me. Walters said they would be losing money on their property if the office zoning have gets approved. She said ife they hhad uknown it l was tzoned purchased the property Agriculture instead of SF-10. They were told by the Planning Department that it zoned SF-104 Several of the neighbors have spent several thousand dollars for remodelling.

Ms. Walters mentioned that Mr. Smith and hip family have to look at a dumpster every day. It is outside of their window. The dumpster is not screened. Mr. Cochran asked about the misconception that they were told that the property was zoned ST-10. residential.

He said straight refused a fence they around said were not paying taxes and he did not understand why the planners were pushing. In order for the neighbors to recoup their loses they should rezone their property to commercial and sell. He said they did not want to sell, they want to live there. We have no guarantees that we will have good neighbors like 911 says they will be. There are other locations in the area which could offer then num3rous opportunities. They do seem like speculators.

MICHELLE WINSOR, 2100 Colonial, Denton, Texas. He. Winsor said her purpose was to express the concerns of the neighbors. In 1973, Community Development requested that a zoning request be denied. The neighborhood is much more stable argil has expanded. The staff also says the separation policy is violated. Those of us that oppose the rezoning feel that the tract of land should be left for the most logical use which would be S8-10 which is currently there.

Chairman Engelbrecht asked how the neighbors feel about the staff recommendations which would place restrictions on the zoning. Mr. Vance said at the neighborhood meetings the neighbors were invited to strike any use they did not want. He said he was opposed to any commercial development. JOHN COOPER, 2120 Glen Garden, Denton, Texas. Mr. Cooper said he would like to express opposition. The Denton Development Plan predicts Payne road as the dividing line between residential and commercial. The fact that the hospital will be moving and there will be several office locations that could possibly meet the need of 911. The hospital property is only 1000 yards from where they want to buy, and it is zoned and ready to go. It gets down to dollars: Why was that piece of property the best. The decision that the commission makes could mean hundreds of thousands of dollars. Even out of the neighbors pockets. as well. He also mentioned a piece of property across from the fire station that was already zoned. JOHN HICKS, 3011 Thunderbird Dr., Denton, Texas. Mr. Bates said the land is dormant. He said he had lived at that location for 19 years. The neighborhood is well developed, established and well kept. He stated that he did not like the dumpster outside of his window. He said he just wanted to state his objection. JOHN SCOTT, Mr. Scott said his one objection to living in the area is the 1/2 mile ride to the interstate is now 3 miles long. He said he and his family had discussed moving, but they like the neighbors and the location. He said they would like to keep it as nice as possible for as long as possible. He explained that his property would back up to the property that 911 would sell in the future. It the zoning passes it will be money off the value of every house and will ruin the resale value of the homes. REBUTTAL: Mr. Russell Bates said that 911 moving into the neighborhood would be the best thing the residents will ever get. They are governed by a board that is made up of volunteers. They will be responsive to the needs of the area. Hr.

Price is also a consideration when you buy a piece of property. If they go 1000 yards up the road they may not be able to at ford it. I don't want to see the neighbors or 911 badgered. He asked for the commission to look only at the beat use for that area. Mr. Pedigo said on behalf of the district he would like to thank the commission for the consideration. He said he understood that the commission would have to balance the wants of the neighbors and 911 and would like to request a favorable decision. Dr. Huey said staff recommended that there be conditions to the Office zoning. she asked what that would mean to the plans for 911 since they were requesting straight zoning. Mr. Pedigo said he has no authority to make a deoision. It would have to go back to the board so they could look at how that would impact the purchase of the property. Public hearing was closed. STUFF COMMENTS1 Mr Robbins said there had been some comment about a 30,000 at. limit on size. He explained there is nothing in the ordinance thr.t limits the size. Staff put that in as a condition. There are no standards on lighting in the straight zoning. The lighting restrictions is staff recommendations as condition. The dumpster that was mentioned was placed there before the screening went into effect. The ~J ordinance requires screening and the dumpster would not be 68en. Mr.. Cooper asked if there has ever been any interest by developers concerning residential plans for the area. He also asked if the 300000 sf6 site could be several buildings. Mr. Robbins said yes, it would allow several buildings, but no single structure that large. Dr. Huey asked about platting. Mr. Robbins said platting would have to be done before building. Dr. Huey asked it the commission recommended approval and the council approves O(o) and the 911 board decides it would not buy the property would the zoning would remain in effect. I Minutes Planning and Zoning July 1{, 1993 Page 26 Mr. Robbins said yes, the zoning would remain. Mr. Cochran asked what the size of the largest building that could be built in a straight office would be. Mr. Robbins said it could be the entire area of the lot X 20 stories. Mr. Cooper said an example of offices built next to a residential area that worked out well was the Moore building. Dr. Huey asked if the commission could restrict any use except office. Mr. Robbins said yea, they could strike all other uses. chairman Engelbrecht said it was a difficult case because we want to encourage businesses like 911 o establish in the area. We also have a strong responsibility to the neighborhood. He said he was comfortable with the transition from residential to office with conditions. Mr. Classcock asked if the commission denied the request and recoms,anded PD zoning would they have to go back in and reapply. Chairman Engelbrecht said yes. Mr. Engelbrecht said the staff recommendation was good and it would allow 911 to come in, but whether they come in or not is not the issue. With the conditions and the buffer yards that it would take care of the concerns of the neighbors. The buffer yards are out of the MXD zoning specifically for cases like 911 wheys businesses are located next to residential areas. Another concern is the corridor along IM-35. The 40 ft. setback will also help to address that concern. He said he could support the request as recommended by staff. Dr. Huey said it is a very difficult case. she vaid she would prefer the 911 offices get to go on. she also had no problem with it being on the site. Dr. Huey said she did not feel the commission should address or approve the zoning without conditions. If 911 can not or will not take it with the conditions, the land would have been zoned for some type of business that is not known s Mr. Bucek said whether 911 comes to Denton should not be the issue. It the commission did not feel the area would ever be developed residential then they should vote for the next use. The commission should look for the best use for the area and I i I Minutem Planning and Zoning j July 14, 1993 Page 17 the land. Mr. Cochran made the motion to deny Z-93-013 with the recommendation that the petitioner re submit for Planned Development zoning. The motion failed for lack of a second. Mr. Cooper made the motion to recommend to council to accept the staff recommendation but restrict the use only to office, administrative, or professional. Mr. Engelbrecht seconded and the motion carried (4-1). Mr. Cochran was opposed. Chairman Engelbrecht moved to recommend denial to council of straight office zoning of Z-93-013 as requested by the petitioner. Dr. Huey seconded and the motion carried unanimously (5-0) IV.

Scope - The scope of the plan covers an area defined as the 2010 utility service area which includes the cities of Corinth, Hickory Creek and part of the City of Argyle. One of the major goals of the plan is to promote physical development in the entire study area but to encourage the priority -use of public funds to support infrastructure development within the half mile limit from the existing and proposed Loop 288. B. 14alor Features 1. Population: The long range plan is based on a desired population and land use growth to the year 2010. The plan will accommodate a population of 141,500 over that period. 2. Land Use Growth: The plan provides the framework and scope for land use development to meet demands for employment, housing, commercial, social and public services and facilities. It ts'projected that the total area of developed lands will be expanded by 11,549 acres to meet additional demands by the year 2010. One of the major goals of the long range plan is to achieve a city wide balanced distribution of developed lands in all five planning areas of the city. C. Urban Form and Structure - The long range plan establishes a network of activity centers. 1. Major Activity Centers: These are the largest Nodes intended to serve as the hub for economic activity and employment. Major activity centers located at the Golden Triangle Mall and in the northwest (I-35/Hwy 77/Loop 288) will serve as urban centers providing a wide range of services including retail, offices, personal and professional services. The downtown center will also serve as the central urban center with emphasis given to redevelopment and revitalization through innovative programs to retain and expand the tax base. The major activity center in the area of the Municipal Airport will serve as a special purpose center to emphasize the establishment of an industrial economic base. 2846g _ 1 _ } 2. Moderate Activity Centers: At the next level. the plan proposes a number of moderate activity centers located at the intersection of and abutting major thoroughfares. These are intended to serve as mini-town centers with emphasis given to diversity of land uses. 3. Low Intensity Area: The low intensity areas are intended to be used primarily for single family residential developments. However, small scattered concentrations of non-residential uses and apartments are encouraged. D. Thocouahtare Network - The land use structure established by the concept plan is to be served by an updated long range thoroughfare plan. The thoroughfare system has been designed so as to provide greater thoroughfare capacities to the mayor and moderate activity centers. E. X010 General Devg}ocment Proaram - The phasing of land use developments and scheduling of public i infrastructures and community services and facilities over the plan period in accordance with the goals, objentives and policies of this plan will be incorporated into a 2010 general development program. This implementation foi: public infrastructures will setveasthebasis schedule for defining planned needs. 11. INTENSITY AREA POLICIES The Intensity Area Policies provide a city wide framework for promoting and regulating land use developments. The plan identifies three specific types of intensity areas based on levels of land use activities, and sets out the size and maximum intensity allocation for these areas. A. Maior activity Centers - Major activity centers are intended to provide a wide range of urban services and serve as major employment centers. The following locations have been designated and shown on the concept plan. 1. 1-35/Hwy 77/North Loop 286 (North urban center) 2. Golden Triangle Mall (South urban center) 3. Downtown area (Central urban center) 4. Municipal Airport area (Special purpose urban center) 2846g _ 2 I ` I B. ~fq~erate Activity Centers - Moderate activity centers are located at the intersection of major arterials and at strategic locations spaced approximately one mile apart. e~intensity standard for moderate activity centers is 350 vehicle tripe pet day per gross acre. 1. Bonus - in order to promote land use diversity in moderate activity centers the plan provides that intensity bonuses may be given when a In a community may bes used cl to included cease center. Thep bonus facility intensity or to increase the size of the center. of the plan 2. eHigh ncourages tyhlgheidensity The housing policies in moderate activity centers and set out conditions for their location, concentration and design. 3. cstri ommercial commercial policies majorurarterials and provide for the protection of low density housing. C. kqy r„ransitY Areas - The low intensity areas represent the primary housing areas. A low intensity area has rintensity standard 60 vehicle acre and it is approximately tripe per day per tj 640 acres in size. land uof diversity apartments and non-residential uses, however neighborhood protection is emphasized. small Nnodesochoof 1. service Neihborhood ice are center non-residential uses which offer mainly convenience goods and services at the neighborhood level. These may very in size from and access 2-5 acres category of their thoroughfare, to a 2. Multi-family Housing - Multi-family Housing is defined as apartments with a density of 13 units and more per acre. Multi-family concentrations shall vary from 100-200 units depending on the location and access to a specific category of thoroughfare and must be located at least a half mile apart. D. tr►tensitY Allocation and Calculation - As a general policy. a specific development proposal is allocated a proportionate share of intensity. proportionate share is based on a ratio of the tal acreage of the proposed development lntoso~e cases acreage of the intensity area. however, a proposed development may be allocated 2816g _ 3 i s additional intensity which is greater than the proportionate share based on specific planning considerations set out in the plan. III. HOUSING The policies of this plan emphasize housing diversity and neighborhood protection. A. Diversity - Housing diversity is closely related to housing type, size and cost geared to meet the differing economic and individual lifestyles of Denton's citizens. Specific policy recommendations 1Ce~Good site design transition between housing types using density gradation, architectural design and landscaping. areas, flow of 2. traffic Transportation through low density minimize residential the t 3. Provide gceater flexibility in the sitting of a residential building given only the requirements for maximum building coverage, front yard setback and fire separation. 4 given only theyrequirementstforaadminimum lot plot size. 8. tjich DensiY Hous}na - The plan promotes the dispersal of apartment developments throughout the City but limits the size of concentrations in one location. 1. In the moderate activity centers the size is I` limited to 7SO units in one location with a half mile separation. 2. In the low intensity areas the size may very between l units specific category of thoroughfare with ea halt mile separation. 1 3. Apartment developments are encouraged to open neighborhood qualit and to provide s adequate and enhance meet recreational need of residents. C. tj~iahbo hood t'resecvation Neighborhood preservation is the backbone of a stable community. . Established neighborhoods In the city are recommended tot special protection. These include neighborhoods which have benefited from Community Development Block Grant and other public funding. Specific recommendations are: I 2846g _ Y I. Modify codes to encourage remodeling and redevelopment of neighborhoods through tax and utility incentives. 2. High priority is to be given to code enforcement. 3. Neighborhood input is to be encouraged in the planning and zoning processes. 4. Apartment developments in established neighborhoods should comply with specific site design standards eg. no parking in front yards, side and rear yard solid screening, landscaped front yards and setbacks equivalent in size and character to existing single family housing. 1V. TRANSPORTATION The long range thoroughfare plan is based on the rationale that larger thoroughfares stimulate increased business activities which in turn generates more traffic. The major objective of the plan therefore is to provide larger thoroughfare capacities (freeways and major arterials) to serve the urban centers and moderate activity centers while collectors and residential type streets serve the predominately low density residential areas. A. Thorouchfare- Classification 1. Freeway: The freeway classification include the interstate I-35E, 1-35W and the Loop 288 2. Major arterials (Primary): These are usually four (4) to six (6) lanes divided thoroughfares which traverse the City and have a minimum right-of-way of 120 feet. 3. Major arterials (secondary): Secondary major arterials are usually four (4) lanes and may be divided or undivided with 80 feet minimum right-of-way. 4. Collector Streets: Collector streets not shown on the thoroughfare plan. The design and location of a collector street may be decided at the time of development. Collectors have 60 feet minimum right-of-way and at least one may be required between major acterials to collect neighborhood traffic. B. Thorouchfac2 Plan 1. Existing County Roads - All existing county roads not designated on the thoroughfare plan will serve as collectors. These may be redesigned at the time of development to have 80 feet minimum right-of-way but will not be incrementally extended to serve a major arterial. 28468 - 5 - I 5 i c' 2. North Carroll Boulevard Extension - It is the policy recommendation of this plan that Carroll Boulevard should be maintained and improved as a major north/south thoroughfare across the City t subject to a detailed traffic/management study. 3. Bell Avenue - The increased flow of traffic through Bell Avenue is not in the best interest of the University community. It is recommended that a traffic management study be conducted to Identify a suitable alternative route. 4. Hass Transit - The plan recommends that a high priority be given to prepare a layout for a city wide mass transit system and to conceptualize plans for a regional system to connect major activity centers in the DFW motroplex over the lonq term. 5. Pedestrian and Bicycle - The plan recommends that high priority be given to the preparation of an integrated master plan for walking. biking and jogging. The master plan shall identify pedestrian access and a system of sidewalks connecting public facilities including commercial sites and parks. 6. Updating - The thoroughfare plan has been designed to serve the major and moderate activity centers and the low intensity areas shown on the concept plan. Any significant variations of the concept plan or the planned intensity standards will necessitate updating the thoroughfare plan. C. Curb Cuts 1. Loop 288 - The policy of the plan is to have controlled access to Loop 288. New developments will not be allowed direct access to the Loop and existing direct accesses will be reviewed for removal or realignment. { 2. Major arterials - The number of driveway accesses to major acterials is to be strictly limited. Driveway access may be generally allowed where no other reasonable means of access exist or under extreme circumstances as set out in the plan. V. PARKS AND RECREATION The plan recognizes the need to provide adequate parks and open spaces for the citizens of Denton to pursue their leisure activities and to enhance the general quality of life. 2846q 6 I A. Neighborhood _Parks and Ooen Spaces - Neighborhood parks should as. n a central location within the neighborhood it is intended to serve and may vary in size from 5 to 10 acres. Emphasis is to be given to pedestrian access through an inter-connected system of sidewalks for the entire neighborhood. Recreation and leisure activities are to be provided to meet the needs of the neighborhood and league type activities are to be discouraged. B. Community Parks - Community parks of 30 acres and over should be centrally located to serve several neighborhoods of one to two miles radius. These are to have direct access to a collector street or larger thoroughfare and designed to accommodate biking and jogging trails, recreation centers, swimming pool, athletic complex and game fields for tennis, football, soccer and baseball. C. Greenbelt/Linear Parks - The Plan recommends the maximum utilization of floodplain areas for parks and open spaces. Greenbelt/linear parks. are to form a continuous belt of open spaces and park land with adequate landscaping and facilities for organized games, picnics, ball fields and trails for biking, hiking and jogging. Areas along Pecan Creek, Hickory Creek, Milani Creek, Clear Creek and their branches have been identified as possible locations. D. School/Park Site - Neighborhood parks and greenbelt parks are to be integrated whenever possible with a school site thus enabling the sharing of recreation facilities. E. Acauisition of Land - Developers may be required to participate in the provision of park land to meet needs in accordance with the City of Denton Parks and Recreation master plan. In some cases this I participation may require the payment of fees in _ J lieu of land. V1. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT The overall policy of the Denton Development Plan is to strengthen and diversify the urban economic base to create a wide range of employment opportunities and expand the tax base of the city. The policy is designed to attract basic industries to locate in Denton and to encourage existing basic industries to expand locally. 28468 7 - a. t 1 J i l i i A. Development Incentives 1. Development incentives may vary by the size and type of establishment and its initial an4 potential capacity as a generator of employment and other economic benefits. 2. Incentives may include but not limited to: a. Assistance with the extension of utility services and streets. b. waiver of intensity policies. B. Guidelines for COnsidsrinQ Incentives - The Planning and Zoning Commission may make recommendations to the city council with respect to additional incentives and specific industries which may qualify. The consideration of incentives shall include but not limited to the following guidelines. 1. All businesses listed in the Statdard Industrial Classification (SIC) except for groups 52-59 under retail trade. 2. Basic industries must show that at least 511 of their goods and services are directed to serve people outside the City of Denton. 3. Corporate office headquarters of a retailer, manufacturer, or distributor including a regional distribution center mcy be considered. 4. When a business or industry meets all of the above criteria then the City may require that a study be conducted to determine whether incentives may be granted. VII. URBAN DESIGN The plan recognizes the need to encourage and promote a high standard of urban design to improve and enhance the general image and character of the built environment. The general policies are intended to provide the framework and scope for preparing detail plans and specific ordina)ices for implementation. Tree preservation, landacaping and special treatment to entrance ways are emphasized. VIII. BALANCED G80WTH A. Policy Objective - one of the major policies of the plan recommends that "when public funds or efforts are expended that they are to be directed towards supporting planned growth. Planned growth is dRfined as growth that responds to the development policies and land use pattern as set out in the Denton Development Plan." The intent of the balanced growth policy is to promote an equitable distribution of development throughout the City. 28468 - 8 - i B. Guidelines for Implementation - The four major determinates of where growth locates are: 1. Utility facility 2. Roads 3. Public community facility 4. Social/political considerations It is the recommendation of the plan, therefore, t%at all the determinates are to be considered in the implementation of the balanced growth policy. It is recognized also that in order to promote planned growth, it may be necessary in some cases to divert public funding for utilities, roads and other public infrastructures to lead development in slow growth areas such as the northwest. Balanced growth represents a new policy direction for city wide land use development in the future. The plan offers aelected examples and guidelines in order to simplify the implementation process. it emphasizes the need however, to work out other creative implementation techniques to achieve the intent of the policy based on what is practical under specific circumstances. IX. COMPACT GROWTH The overall policy of the plan is to encourage physical development within a half mile limit from the existing and proposed Loop 288 as shown on the thoroughfare plan. The half mile limit is defined by a line which is located generally half a mile outside Loop 288. I The plan recommends specific policies designed to offer incentives for development within the half mile limit. A. Roads 1. Within the half mile limit, the developer may not be required to pay for off-site roads. 2. Outside the half mile limit the developer will be required to pay the actual cost for providing or improving off-site roads. B. utilities 1. The City will provide basic trunk lines to serve all areas of the City. 2. The developer shall pay the actual cost of extending water and sewer lines from existing trunk lines. 3. For areas within the half mile limit the City will participate in oversize costs depending on the availability of funds. 28468 9 - out 4. dFor evelopers p Ys idallthcostal initially limit- the ersize costs and CO ratabonsoff siteblineshwhenvde elopments tie-on. x.

Compatible Land Use Development - Single family residential developments shall not be allowed in the immediate vicinity of the runway, defined as Jim Christal on the north, Masch Branch Road extension on the east, FM 2449 on the south, and Tom Cole Road on the west. Mixed land uses including, but not limited to multi-family, retail, offices, business and professional services, restaurants, hotels, etc. may be developed outside the 65 Ldn (day-night sound level) contour providing that they are in conformity with the Denton Municipal Airport Zoning Regulations. B. The Downtown Area - The Downtown area has been identified as the central urban center and one of four major activity centers. The area is delineated and shown on the City of Denton zoning district map as the Central Business District (CB). The Downtown center could lose its vibrance and relative attractiveness as new commercial/retail centers develop in other locations. The policy of this plan therefore is to promote redevelopment and revitalization of the Downtown center to retain and expand the tax bass. As part of this policy, the City should continue to support public expenditures in an effort to upgrade and preserve the Downtown center. It is recommended that a detailed study be done to explore further planning efforts and possible development incentives to encourage and promote the growth of a vibrant mixed use center downtown. C. Major Entrance Ways - The major entrance ways are those freeways and primary major arterials predominantly used by incoming traffic to the City of Denton; Interstate 35E, 35M and Fort Worth Drive (U.S. Highway 377), University Drive (U.S. Highway 380), Highway 77, North Locust (FM 2164), Sherman Drive (FM 428), and FM 2181. Developments along major entrance ways present the first impressions of the City to the public eye. The policy of this plan, therefore, is to encourage and promote good urban design to enhance the aesthetic quality and visual amenities along entrance ways. 28469 - 11 - i - -r D. s e @L K bso Lane_i/= E _ a van the rom nence of the planning Area and the thoroughfare nei otk uin that the highoto moderateeintensity of nd pusesualonto locate Lane.

These pressures are likely to Licrease as FM 2181 is developed as a primary major arterial and extended further south to ultimately connect with the DFW Airport (See County Transportation Plan). The policy of this Plan, therefore, is to restrict the further intrusion of high and moderate intensity land uses in this area. Howevmr, limited neighborhood services and high density housing, consistent with the standards for a low intensity area, are not prohibite=I. The plan sets out specific guidelines for future land use developments in this area. E. Carroll Bo lava - Carroll Boulevard is a primary major arterial providing for the north/south movement of traffic through the Downtown area. The policy of this Plan therefore is to restrict further strip commercial/retail developments along Carroll Boulevard. F. Land Use Bocdecina Univ I!f*„ the years there have been increased as Over commercial and multi-family developments stoelocate in areas around the University of North Texas State resulting in higher intensity type land uses in traditional single family neighborhoods.
