Summary: This bid is for the purchase of 30 gallon polyethylene t
refuse bags for use by the eitims. of Denton on the
Residential Solid Waste Collection Program.
Item out is for tha standard 2 mil thickness bag now in
use by the City of Denton. Item two is a 105 ail trick
bag suds of a product callid linear, low density poiyathy-
lane (LLDP) 0 The product (LLDP) makes the bags stronger
and more resistant to puncture, while it the some time ^
decreasing the amount of raw material necessary for the
manufacture. The thinner (1.5 mil) bag will swan a saw
ings to the City of Denton of over $22,500.00 during
the contract period, with no sacrifice in perlormasaoe
or service. Tate LLDP ball has been tested by the City
of Centoa this past year and hie provan wry sucessful.
!
The bid of Triangle Diettibutions, $2648 sash, is for,
a flat pack of bags made of a high density polyethylene
This material is a such thinner product, produssas a
stronger bag but a bag ouch less rasistwt to ViAneiura
and once punctuted, since it has very little elasticity,
far sore susceptible to splitiag or tearing," The prices
are not firm and the bag has ant besn teated by the City !
of Denton, the product in a refuse bag has only been
accepted by one municipality in Missouri as far ea Y
can determine. 1 do not recommend the purchase of these
bags without further investigation, hmwer a teat Ora-
gram say be worth while.
The bid of Adams Industries M008 per roll is firm for
only 90 dsyss A price lacrosse of s27 pat roll has al- 1
ready been announced and another is expected in April 1981. {
Ve purchase our bags to coincide with out two city wide
distributions, one in March another in September. The
bags from Adams will cost $66,176.00 (22,000rolle lair the
March delivery and and 91,784.00 (28,Ob0 roils at $76278 as.)?
for the September delivery, Total price without any,
further ptice increase for 500000 rolls is 41519960,00.
We feel that with increasing patrolmsm prices and detogu-
lation of the gas and oil industry that even more price
increases are inevitable and would be passed along to the
City of Denton.
The lid of Sunbelt Plastic is firm for sit months which
will carry us tbru the contract period, The total price
for the 50,000 rolls rsgardleue of delivery schedule will
be $1550500.00 or $3.11 per roll

M Lee Storer spoke in rebuttal.

PREFACE }
The Emergence of the Development Guide
A
INTRODUCTION
As Denton entered the 80's the community was realizing an increas-
ing volume of questions concerning the way the community is developing
p
and its impact on the quality of life.
The City leaders, in response to these questions, instituted a
R community-based, city-wide plan update, one avenue for this future
Denton study was the "Denton 80's" committee that looked comprehensively
1 at the future of Denton, in such areas as cultural'activities, educe= i
Lion, health,'public facilities, recreation, environmental and beauti-
fication issues. Coordinated with that effort, the City Council in-
itiated more specific study on the future land questions, by oommis-
. ,
sioning the Land use Planning Committee. The task of the committee
was to produce a Development Guide that could be used in day-to-day '
I~ decision making on such things as the'Capital Improvement Program, „
Zoning, Subdivisions, etc. j
The format of the plan, determined by the P i Z and City Council
as the most useful, was a combination policy plan and fixed design
ti
plan, This guide represents the document product of this specific
program.
The Planning Process
To produce the Development Guide, a 46 member city-wide planning
Committee was establis►.'d. This committee was composed of residents,
policymakers, developers, civic leaders, and public offioials, selected
to represent a cross-section of persons with specific expertise in
community development and persons who are both directly and indirectly
concerned with the future development of the City of Denton.
Two methods for selecting representatives were used to form the
46 member committee. Established agencies, organizations, and com-
vii

missions which were already involved in planning or development in #
the city were invited and asked to send representatives to participate
in the planning workshops.
).:.(I r...ww .rte. ..-r
The remaining representatives included 18 citizens-at-larger
some seven persons representing development interests--homebuilders,
developera, rugitozsr bankers# and large land owners# and one person
to represent other civic. groups not otherwise specifically designated.
These representatives were self-selected at an open Meting' on
December 17, 1979.
The Planning Workshops
The medium through which the committee worked was the "planning
workshop"--educational work sessions--which provided a context in
which the committee designed and evaluated the issues, the available
alternatives and the policies which could encourage the desired de E
velopment pattern.
The first; second, and third workshops,were directed to dew lop-
ing a common planning language and understanding, Through discussion
and workbooks, furnished to the committee, the committee was famiii-
i ,

l arized with some planning terms, vocabulary, and theories of city
planning as well as some basic development facts about Denton.

r rIn the fourth and fifth workshops, the members of the Planning '(3m.
mitt** identified the major problems and issuer that they judged most
important for Denton. The identified ierues served as a basis for
work in the sixth workshop, when the alternative development plans
were prepared by workshop participants, j

The Concensus Plan E
The consolidation, evaluation and final approval of the-consensus
plan and policies comprised the last steps toward the Denton Develop- S
went Guide. This was accomplished by first bringing together all of
the common elements presented in the alternative plans prepared by
the five planning teams.
A study of the alternative plans showed remarkable similarities
of basic city planning foundations of density, major transportation
and location of major activity centers. Detailed variations existed,
{ but all plans exhibited similar principles indicating*& high degree .
of consensus among the committees.*
In addition, the technical staff conducted an independent evalu-
ation of the alternatives compared to the finally' adopted consensus
plan presented in the next section.' This eva,Euation was considered
both from a technical standpoint and an evaluation of the committees'
identified major issues and goals. A summary of the evaluation is
presented in the Volume i Appendix.
out of these workshops emerged the Overall Concept Plan which
is presented in Chapter 11 of this report.
The development of a concept plan was the first major step
towards a Development Guide for Denton, Texas. Chapter III of the
Development Guide is a more detailed expansion of the policies pre-
sented by the Concept Plan. ,
The following report then represents tho total Development Guide
for Denton, Texas.
s A more detailed comparison of the alternative plans is available
in a separate report "Towards a Consensus
Plan for DentonO, J'ursG,

I, PLAN PURPOSE AND USE
As INTRODUCTION 1
The Denton Development Guide is both a document
and aplan- ~
ning process with an emphasis on the day-to-day use of the process.
This document is divided into two main sectional The Concept
Plan and Development Policies, The Concept Plan represents the Long
Range Framework for Growth. It could be compared to a constitution
T that sets'the base for future day-to-day decision.
The next section presents a set of development policies that as
a grasp support the framework of the Concept plan,' The
intended to be used as a tool to aid in day-to-day development deoi-.
particularly for government officials, but also for all's6g-
meats of the community, The not of policies in also intended to do=
current and structure public decision-making in order to report what is
the official policy'of the City,
These policies are not intended to answer all quastiona# nor
should they, This Guide's major purpose is to organize a decision-
making foundation for the more detailed studies necessary in day-to
day decision making, in other words, the emphasis is in the use of
the Guide and not in the document itself, This use includes daily'
discussion, debate, refinement, redrafting or re-commitment to the j
policies in a consensus planning process: Only through this continu-
ous use can this guide serve its goals ofi
1. Assistance to comprehensive deoision-making in 1
a consensus planning procesa.
2, providing a check list, of major issues for the
purpose of insuring that all issues are con-

B; THE USF OF TTH GH1nF
The Planning Process utilized in the preparation of this guide
and suggested in its day-to-day use is a citizen based consensus
}
Planning process. The extent and need for the citizen based consensus
planning process in the day-to-day use of this guide is intended to
be flexible dependent upont
1. The
extent of uncertainty or controversy
24 The time constraint of a pending decision
3. The technical nature of the issue as Com-
pared to an issue that is
primarily a com-
munity value judgment,
For example, a question in the use of the guide that is only
mildly debated and/or is of an urgent nature should be decided in a
quick manner by the rosponsible decision makers, highly technical
questions could be supported by professional studies with very little,
if any, need of consensus planning, However, an issue that is highly
debatable and has some time flexibility and/or is primarily a community
value judgment should be studied in the context of this guide by a
cross-sectional, self-selected citizen based consensus Plannin
g process,
whether only for study of a small question from this guide or for the
guide's complete revision,
In response to the spirit of this planning process, a formalized
procedure for the use of the guide was tentatively approved by the
P i 2 and City Council prior to the work of the Land Use Committee.
This procedure is as follows,

11, THE CONCEPT PLAN: LONG RANGE FRAMEWORK FOR GROWTH
A, TNTRODUCTION
The Concept Plan outlines the basic bong Range Framework.
prom this framework, the Long Range Goals and objectives emerged.
This foundation then forms the basis for the day-to-day development
policies which follow in the next section. The intent is to provide
a context for decision-making tolay based on a unified long range
context that helps make today's decision solve today's problem, while
at the same time, not compounding problems for the future.
The following section describee,the Concept Plan's Goals and
Objectives.- The next section describes the fundamental physical looa-
tionai policies of the Concept Plan.
8 THE CONCEPt*PLAN'S- OyEgAIi GOALS"AND f E IVES
The planning process, including the alternative land use
designs and the written and verbal responses, culminated into a
Concept Plan. This Concept Plan generates the specific 'goals and
objectives. The following summarizes an interpretation and documen-
tation of tho goals and objectives indicated by the Concept Plan.
11 InlNG RANGE DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT GOALS '
Det%ton should become a self-sustaining city with a
balanced economic base, a choice,of various housing styles
and a variety of retail, omployment and leisure activities.
All of theme should be centered around the principle of +
providing economic opportunities and services of a moderate-
sized city while maintaining the small town'atmosphere.
The goal is to provide'our basic needs while minimizing our
ecological and social cost. This can be accomplished by
such o4asures asp

as loot, bike-scooter, public and individual auto,
and provide more housing closer to employments re-
tail and leisure activities.

he Provide for on-going citizen education and partioi-
pation into future decisions.
2.• LONG-RANGE DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT OBJECTI S
This study was designed to emphasito the physical de- s
velopmeat factors towards the fulfillment of our general
long-range community goals However, related social and
environmental,goals and activities wwre an integral part of
the decision-making process that led toward defining the
Long-Range Growth Concept,
in this context, this Development Guide outlines dew
tailed policies that will tend to encourage a steady, moderate
r

growth in a development pattern characterized by high con-
centrations along the freeway and at three specific major
areas. The policies will also support other major special
purpose centers such as the airport industrial park area,
Lesser multi-purpose centers are sigjhasized in rub-oity
areas primarily intended to service these areas.
:r The policies for the overall growth frame-work will
H r
center around basic objectives of:
a. ProteQtion of Existing Development, }
particularly residential dew opment,
b, Encouraging Dsyelopmea* where infra-
structure capacity is already avail-
able and ecologically sensitive areas
are not significantly impacted,
o. Providing and $Aintaininc an overall
City Balance between:
1) Transportation and Land Use
The transportation land use concept map
provides the basic policy for this balance
insofar as regional and local transit
systems and individual automobile traffic
is concerned, (integrating pedestrian,
bike and/or scooter traffic is intended
by policy but details are beyond the scope
of this plan.)
2) Population and Utilities
The long-range development concept suggests
raising overall city densities only slightly
over current levels of 642 people par'deval"
oiled acre to average density of 6, 5 people
per acre. Translated to the 55 square mile
study area. would meats a possible physical
holding capacity of 175,000 to 225#000
people, This population figure corresponds
with current long range utility planning '
policies and projects. Based on current
development trends, the current basic utility
structure would accommodate,growth into the
21st century and provide basic utility facilities
for 1000000 people, Any development beyond

this figure would assume adequate energy

I
C, CQMO PLAN--L4CeYI0NA~ POLICIES
1. HIGHLY CONCENTRATED ACTIVITY CENTERS
The Concept Plan suggests a balanced growth for Denton
with three major center areas as focal points for a high
level of activity. These intensely developed centers, in
general, include not only commercial and.related activities
but also higher.density residential development, The dorm-
l inant center is the Triangle Hall area with other major
centers located at the Loop 288/1-35 area to the north and
the Airport area to.the west. The plan also recognises the
unique aspects of the original downtown area as a special-
purpose, high-intensity emphasis center.
2. HIGHLY CONCENTRATED INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT
The plan suggests industrial activities in large and
moderate-sized concentrations, with the majority of, the jobs
in three industrial areas} the Airport area, the North
I-35/Hay 77 area, and the Southeast Denton Triangle Mall
area (generally north to Morse Road, bounded by Woodrow on
the West and Hayhiil/1-35 on the east.) i
34 MODERATL-SIZE SUB-CENTERS 11
In addition to the highly concentrated major activity
centers, the plan suggested a system of medium and small !
nodes of commercial and related activity along the -frowsy
and at selected intersections of projected new major
thoroughfares. However, this development would use.sits
planning, buffer zones of open spacer, eto. to avoid
creation of unsightly and inefficient strip-typo commercial.
i
E~
4. PREDOMINANTLY LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
The plan indicates predominantly low density residential
development in the city as a whole.
S. CONCENTRATED MEDIUM AND HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENT
Higher intensity residential uses, represented by high
and medium density development, were distributed in a number ,
r
of locations with a major emphasis to limit excessive con-
centration in any one place, except for e.6 major activity
centerse
The plan indicates that concentration of high density
how ing should be ancouraged in the major activity center
areas in order to lessen transportation congestion$ con-
serve energy and offer diverse,life styles for Denton
residentse The plan shows the more limited moderately sised
concentrations of units generally related to the freeways, ~
greenbelts, major thoroughfares, majox and moderate activity
centers$ or as buffers to higher intensity land use, To
avoid creation of additional "concrete cities", site plan-
ning, limited use of concrete parking areas, provision of
open spaces, small and moderate parka, and buffering with
greenbelts is encouraged with all moderate or high-density
housing.
i
6e TRANSPORTATION
The plan indicates development patterns related to a
transportation system with the automobile as a dominant
form of movement, generally in relation to the current
freeway and major thoroughfare plans However, the plan
recognises an increasing role for mass transit and strongly
encourages a local system as a priority items As the con-
centrations of development approach the planes holding ca-
pacity, local and mass transit will be required to aorVe
the plan's land use patterns
~ -11-
Y

F,
Also, through citizen questions and input, the committee
recognizes the need for other modes of transportation to be
integrated into an over-all multi-mode transportation plan
for the entire city. Study of ways to provide for pedestrian,
bike and scooter traffic now and in the future must be
studied and provided for, if the Concept Plan is to realize
its goals.
7. DRAINAGE GREENBELT AND OPEN SPACE PRESERVATION
The plan preserves a majority of the floodplain arias
j and fioodways as open space, maintaining the natural creek
channel for drainage purposes. The plan further suggests
&.general theme to encourage open space as an element of
all urban design decisions.
B. AGRICULTURAL LAND PRESERVATION
The committee recognized the need to preserve and en-
courage use of agricultural lands both within and near to
the City of Denton. Further study of ways these lands may
be preserved, incentives for their us* to produce agricul-
tural products essential to feeding and clothing the resi-
dents of Denton and how preservation' of such land might,
altar or impart upon the final plan of this committee is
needed.
The following Concept plan map represents a,graphic
presentation of the preceding locational framework. The
next section presents a more detailed set of policies de-
signed to help guide community development towards the
goals of this Concept plan,

III, DEVELOPMENT POLICIES
A, POLICIES BY ELNC 0NAL AREAS
1. MAJOR ACTIVITY CENTERS ~
a. The Purpose of Designating Major AotivitY Areas is,
to provide a policy commitment to a general location in {
order to insure:
1) Adequate public infra-structure of sewer, water,
and transportation facilities to support these center.
Without such a plan, public funds can be ineffectively
r utilizedy for example, community streets, sewer lines,
etc.,' in areas of town not supportive of the City's
desire for growth. The Concept Plan suggests
balanced growth between all quandrants of the City
an- !or growth,to be in balance with existing infra-
structure capacity.
2) Make a commitment to the business community
that activities in these areas will be supported by
City Government while ipaking a commitment to other
residents that their neighborhoods and local streets
and facilities will not be disrupted by an unplanned
major activity center in their neighborhood6
b. Commercial and Employment towhasir r
The consensus showed by the land use alternatives
indicates the major activity centers to be in tha follow-
ing areas

(1) 1-35EI Hvy 77;
(2) Golden Triangle -North,

(3) Airport and 1-35 area.
(1) Original downtown.
The plan indicates a consensus that the original
downtown should be continued as a moderate-to-major
center, but possibly in a dilfe en or uafeius dale cry

It is the policy of this plan that land use diver-
sity, including high density housing, be encouraged in
these areas to not only be a buffer to lower intensity,
adjacent areas but also provide transportation balance

d. Specific Center Characteristics
1) Triangle Mall Areas Dominant Commercial Center
it is the intent of this plan that the
Triangle Mall area have a slightly higher commercial
emphasis in addition to encouraging a substantial E
employment balance. As a guideline and indication
of scale, this area is intended to serve at maximum t
development 600 acres of commercial and industrial
uses representing over 11,000 jobs$
2) 1-35 and North Loop 288s Balanced Center
This center emphasizes more of a balance
between commercial and industrial uses, As `a guide-
line for maximum development, this area is intended
to provide over 300 acres of commercial and industrial ,
i
;i development representing over 5,000 jobs in the area.

As part of a program initiated by a Downtown Land`
owners Association, the city would support moderate,

it in the polioy of this plan that development
on the fringe of these high activity centerss adjacent
to low density residential arias, should be protected by
such measures as intensity gradation (bulferinq)s strict
site design requirementss transportation, land use
balance, etc. Further$ traffic planning should insure
that no local residential streets are utilised for,.
general circulation to the centers. Dewloparnt ,of the
community unit concept with its neighborhood or'villige
council will further ensure neighborhood protection.

2. MODERATE ACTIVITY CENTERS
as Purpose and Intent 1
The purpose of identifying moderate centers of
activity parallels many of the purposes discussed earlier
for large centers, like balanced citywide,growtha However,
in considering the criteria for current capacity and
future design capacities for transportation and utilities,
the main consideration is not just for adequate capacity
to accommodate existing and future development demands,
This policy for moderate-size centers includes an intent
~ to limit infra-structure to the planned limited maderpte
size centers. This policy helps insure the long-range I
land use balance indicated by the concept plan,
b. 1OC_ati0n
The general locations of these centers are shown `
on the following maps
as Size/intensity
Most of these centers should serve four neighbor-
hoods (one potential community unit) of from 5006 to
150000 people. The size of these centers should than
be 30 acres to 250 acres. These centers can tike on r
many mixes of land use, A prototype mix that.,snoouragas i
diversity 'nd the community unit concept would see a
center triards the higher end of the acreage range where-
as a spailalized center, say commercial, would need to I
be towards the small size,
For examaple, very diversified center at full
development would bet
30 acres of service industry
20 acres of commercial
150 acres of public lands (large parks,
schools, government buildings, *too)
50 acres of higher density housing/apsrtmentsa
The above center would then be the focal point
of four low density neighborhoods. These neighborhoods
would be made up of single-family, patio houses, duplex
and limited townhouse/apartment, all interspersed with
open space greenways, pedestrian and bicycle whys,
This land use concept would serve well the physical
elements needed to implement the community unit concept
that is discussed in Volume it Appendix.
j
M
r
t
Most centers, if not .zs diversified, would be to-
wards the smaller scale of 30 to 50 acres for primarily
commercial center.
Key factors for judging a proposed development for
this size and intensity are,
1) Compare first to existing infra,-struoture
capacity size/intensity as the current development
is always limited to exist~capaoitys
2) Compare the development to the ultimate,.nr-acity
(see section on land use/transportation balance) of i
,
the center unit or other defined study area. Notei
a proposed development should hot utilize the total
Brea intensity capacity unless the total area ca-
pacity policy is increased.
3) Give size bonus for diversity, ise. (houiinq# ;
commercial, office, public facilities open space),
and conversely limit size for specialized development,
i.e. al) commercial. it is recommended by this: k
policy that all such judgments be made on propda4d
development that will be realized within five years.
if such development plans are not realised within
live years, the area would then be subject to re-
consideration (back-zoning) to a smaller size (spa- ,
cialized center size.)
i
d. Diversit ~
It is the policy to strongly encourage diversity
in the moderate size center in order to ancouragai
intensity gradation (buffering) y

e. High Density Housing
The plan indicates some high density housing in
connection with the major centers under the following
limitations
*used for buffering
*used for diversity (see above)
*access to major thoroughfares required
*desireable adjacent to greanbelts !
*limit concentration in one place
(500 to 1,000 units)
*good site design standards to protect
' adjacent single-family areas (large
ii setbacks, landscaped front yards,
screening fences, traffic to major
streets only, etc..)
f, Low Density Neighborhood Housina Protection
it is the policy of this plan that high intensity
' development on the fringe and/or adjacent (within one
block) of existing low density residential areas should
be protected by such measures as intensity gradation
(buffering), strict site design control$ (setbacks,
parking, landscaping) eto,)$ insure transportation
land use balance (see policy in transportation seotion).
Further, traffic planning should insure that no local
residential streets are utilized for general circula-
tion to the high intensity developments,
g. Strip Commer` o~e1 E
a 1) overall Policy intent I
it is the intent by encouragingleenters of.,
activities that the plan discourage strip, commercial.
Designated corridors (although a form of strip oom-
marcial) will be encouraged to create grouping of
activity centers down the corridor (nodas)s This
will be done by such means ass
*limiting curb cuts
*raquiring Planned Development zoning of
multi-ownership to provide joint site
designs (Loss parking set-backs, eta,)
*encouraging diversity down the corridor
(commercial ncdes broken up by high
density housing, offices, etc,)
*discourage unsightly and hazardous strip
oommarciwl by requiring sign restrictions,
buffering by greenbelts and/or landscaping
in site designs,
i

.
3. LOW INTENSITY AREAS
as Purpose and Intent
All areas not designated high or moderate
intensity areas are considered low intensity areas.
1 The primary purpose of these areas is to insure the
overall area land use transportation balance by 1
controlling the overall density and intensity (75 trips/
day/gross ac). Further, these areas represent our I
` primary housing areas. Thus, these areas should am-
phasize residential use whereas the other intensity ;
areas might emphasize commercial or employment areas.
b. Location
The general location of these areas is shown %
on the following map.
o. Size/Intensity
'these areas are planned to correspond to an
overall gross density policy of 4,7 units/acre and
overall intensity policy measured at 75 trips per day
per gross acre. (See Appendix Volume II for applica-
tion of these polioiess)
d. Diversity/Neichborhood Pro 'ection
Diversified land use encouraged, but concentra-
tion discouraged, except for low density residential,
small scattered sites of apartments (usually less than
200 units but no more than 500 units tee housing
section), neighborhood commercial, office,eto., per-
mitted as long ass
i
(1) Strict site plan control within one block of
existing low density residential areas (develop- ,
meet she4ld maintain character of area, archi-
tectural, landscaping, *to,)
(2) Traffic planning insures accts by collector
street or larger and not through local low
density streets.
(3) The overall density/intensity standard not
violated. (see Appendix Volum 11)
(4) Sufficient green space, recreational facilities
and diversity of parks are provided,
(5) Input into planning by neighborhood or village
councils is provided,

4, HOUSING
The purpose of the following housing policies is
to encourage housing types that respond to the differing
economic and individual lifestyles of Denton's citizens,
protect existing and future neighborhood integrity and in-
sure that our overall city-wide density.policy is preserved.
a. Housing Diversity
it is the policy of this plan that housing
diversity be strongly encouraged in Denton as a whole.
The policy of housing diversity is closely related to
housing size and housing density thareforej the follow-
ing specific policies in those areas should also be rem,
fi lerenced. In striving for the goal of housing diversity,
the plan recomm&nds that in judging development decisions,.
wel
(1) Work towards differing housing types in
such quantities city-wide and sector-
wide that correspond to Dariton ditisens'
financial constraints and desires for
differing lifestyles.
(2) Diversified housing should be available
in all sectors of the city, which also i
suggests that one housing type should
not be concentrated in only one sector
of the city, This policy will tend to
promote balanced diversity growth which
provides benefits of balanced land values,
better utilization of infra-structure,
more energy efficiency, reduces traffic
congestion and provides more of a sense
of community in differing areas of the
town. 1
(3) Diversified housing patterns should be
well planned to insure that all neighbor-
hood integrity is maintained. Examples of
a few such planning policies arcs
*No one type of housing overly con-
centrated in one area
*Good site design transition between
housing types and densityt buffers I
(greenbelts, housing intensity
f grr.dation, eto4)

*Transportation design where
higher density can be served
without flowing through lower
density transportation facilities.
I provisions fort
*Multi.mode■ of transportation
integrated within and between
neighborhoods and activity centers.
*codes should be expended where
necessary and strongly enforced

1) Apartmentst Geographic Distribution
it is the overall policy of this plan that
apartments be dispersed throughout the city with
limited areas of high concentration in any one area
(see following map')
2) Moderate intensity Centers (see policies on
page 18)
3) Low intensity Areas
individualised sites or small areas through-
out the city would be permitted only if it'meets
certain limited conditions. Typical' limitations
would bet
(a) To have major street access (the intent is ~
to limit access through low density housing
areas).
(b) Desirable to have access to pedestrian, bike-,
scooter and public transportation,
(e) To have striot site design review for all
projects within one block of existing single
family dwellings. (The intent is to protect
existing housing as a priority policy by
good transition, screening, open space,
landscaped front yards in character with
neighborhood, etc.)
(d) To have access or be located adjacent to
floodplains and/or greenbelts or large open
space is desirable. (The intent if for

other policies throughout this guide are intended to,
preserve our neighborhoods, the backbone of our community.
This goal is reinforced by the current unstable economic
conditions and dwindling resources which make such things

7. TPANSPORTATION
f
ad purpose and intent
The transportation system is the binding force that ties
the land use pattern together. Conflicts arise when the land use
intensity and distribution does not match the transportation
system. The major purpose of a long range land use transporta-
tion plan is to insure that today's incremental decisions not
only respond to today's needs but also contribute towards the
long range land use/transportation plan for the City. For example, ,
if we feel high intensity development is desirable at a particular
location in the distant future, we would not want to out off a i /
major transportation route today that will be needed in the future
for that area. It is the intent of this guide that Donton's
j transportation system should react to the communityls plan and }I
'not have transportation be reactive to unplanned growth. There-
fore, the following transportation policies are structured in 'a
two-tiored policy to accomplish this goal.
(1) Tomorrow's nesdi The Plan
'Long Range high intensity areas provided with
transportation lifelines
k (2) Today's needs
"Capacity Today
aIndividualised site design and transportation needs
sToday's decisions supportive of Long Range Plan,
b. The Transportation plan Concept
This plan suggests a land use policy that is a modified
corridor concept. That is, major intensity land use in three
major nodee,generally following the interstate 35`corrider. The
overall basic transportation policy is to coo tinue the emphasis
of improving transportation capacity in this corridor as a con-
tinuing priority for the city. This includes auto, bike, scooter,
pedestrian, and local and regional mass transito
as The Major Thorouchfare Long-Rancre Plan
The thoroughfare long-range plan is shown on the map at j
the and of this section. This plan represents the long-range
framework for today's incremental decisions that are discussed in
the next section.
The major street plan shows a road network fort
1) Major Arterial (Primary)
These streets that transverse the city usually are
80 to 120 right-of-way and a landscaped boulevard and park-
3
I I
i
t
r

}
C
way are desirable, if economically feasible, including
maintenance cost.
2) Major Arterial (secondary)
These streets are streets that connect major sec- j ,
tions of town and usually have a right-of-way of 60 to 80
feet.
3) Collector Streets q
There are not shown on the following major street
map but are specified in a separate map that is updated
yearly by the Planning and zoning and modified as needed 1
by sub-division review of detailed site design. Collector
street design should include consideration for all modes
of individual transportation. These detailed collector
str,=at planning are subject to the following policy oriteriai '
(a) At least one collector street per area between
arterials to collect neighborhood traffic to
the major arterials.
(b) Collector street (or larger) required for
higher intensity land uses such as apart-
mints, industrial areas, and commercial
areas.
(c) As intensity increases, the number of
collectors required increases.
Collector streets should not be allowed to be in- }
crementaliy linked-up until a major arterial Is created.
This procedure is setting policy to change area land use
intensity. It such a land use intensity change is desir&Dle,
this plan should first be changed to to indicate the activity
center prior to designating a new arterial on the thorough-
fare plans
d. Current Thoroughfare Planning Policies
1) Street Capacity

ments be required to provide adequate current street capacity

rent capacity of the nearest major artery servingthe do -

as Mass Transit
This plan by policy recognizes an increasingly important
need for mass transit, Any large concentrations of. development
will,at some time, require mass transit if the land use transpor-
tation balance is to be maintained. However# our problem is not
totally long range. Today our energy problems become more critical ;
by the day. Therefore, the overall policy of this guide is to
start today on localized mass transit and to lay a long range
plan for inter-regional mass transit networks for the future.

1) Long Range Plan
There should be a city-wide ore{ration plan odeveloped. i`

f 2) Today's Need
Regardless of the above general plan, we should con-
e ' centrate on the following in our current planningi i
a) Requiring sidewalks and bike-scooter paths on
collector streets in all new sub-dividions and
starting a city program for all oldir sub-
divisions.
b) Consider' 6hanging,development ordinances.~to
require pedestrian and bike-scooter ways in
all large commercial parking lots.
c) ]encourage all Commercial centers to have at
least one safe access that is totally pedestrian.
d) As part of the implementation of the above
Long Range Plan, consider limiting pa

e. Carroll Boulevard
1) Strip Commercial Policy
Carroll Boulevard is intended to be a major north
south throughway and maintaining throughway traffic flow
is of high priority) therefore, strip commercial of Carroll
is strongly discouraged. However, selected nodes such as
the immediate downtown area would be permitted. Other sac-
tions of Carroll could support duplexes and small scale
multi-family and office under very limited conditions:
*site design to protect adjacent single family
requiring such things as screening fences,
large setbacks, landscaped front yards,
sign control, etc.
*site design to insure. good off-street circu-
lation and parking and very limited curb
j cuts in order to minimize traffic disrup-
tion on Carroll, j
*input from adjacent neighborhoods prior to a
decision.
2) North Carroll Boulevard Extension 1
It is the policy recommendation of this plan that
Carroll Avenue be maintained and improved as one of the major
north/mouth thoroughfares across the City. Part of this policy is to continue the 1974 thoroughfare plan policy - I
that North Carroll should eventually tie into Highway 77 in
the most traffic efficient route that is economically and
environmentally feasible, it is recognized that determin-
ing the final detail alignment of this connection involves
many complicated factors of traffic engineering, economic
cost, and neighborhood-environmental protection, Tt.erefore,
it is further recommended that prior to such connection, a
more detailed professional impact study be conducted to
analyze the alternative means and impacts of connection to
Highway 77,
f. Fort Worth Drive and Dallas Drive - Heavy Commercial Strips
It is a policy recommendation that increased public
activity is needed to promote the improving of traffic flow and
upgrading of the appearances of business along these heavy com-
mercial strips. Examples of some actions:
-47-
1
(1) Encourage a Fort Worth Drive and a
Dallas Drive Business Association
to develop overall plans for:
*signs
*outside storage
*building refurnishing
*off-street parking
(2) Based on such much lly developed plans,
public action as:
*modify codes to accommodate unique,
individualized or group proposals
*utilize public funds to upgrade and
beautify infrastructure
*increase code enforcement in order to
t protect investment of public and private
owners in upgrading effort.
g, East Denton
I This close-in older neighborhood offers manyy advantages
G or residential development. This fatt~id recognized,, the re
cent past and continuing concentrated ublic expf ditures in he
area from C.I.B, and C.D.B.O. funds. P I this commitment,
specific policies are emphasized for the areas
(1) The policy to protect older neighborhoods is
given special emphasis in this area.
(2) Industrial development adjacent to this neighborhood
to the south and east is to be monitored closely.
Among other things, industrial development will be
limited to the area east of Woodrow Lane.
h. Bell Avenue: University to Sherman
it is the policy recommendation of this lan that Sell
Avenue be maintained and improved as one of the mapjor Borth/South
thoroughfares across the City. Fart of this polity includes the
eventual need to improve Sall Ave. between University and Sherman
in the most traffic-efficient route that is economically and
envirnomentally feasible. It is recognized that determining the
final detail alignment and width of this connection involves
many compp]icated factors of traffic engineering, economic cost,
and neighborhood-environmental protection. Therefore, it is
further reeommanded that prior to such connection, a more detailed
professional impact study bs conducted to analyze the alternative
means and impacts of such improvements.

o. Agricultural Lands, Open Spaces, and Greenbelts
1
To maintain a balanced, healthy community that is
4 self-sustaining, the conservation of our agricultural land,
open spaces, and greenbelts is important. Tax incentives,
coordination and cooperation with other governmental units,
and involvement of the private sector are all essential
to accomplish this goal. Studies to better understand the
needs of a city in each of these areas and the cost-benefit
ratios are needed.
Also, establishment of cooperative relationships in s
• the governing bodies of the county, state, and nearby com-
munities should begin as soon as possible so that future ,
growth avoids major conflicts and provides for balance be-
tween economic, public, health, basic life support, and eco-
system needs of the entire area. Specifically, joint policies
are needed to provide agricultural land, greenbelts, eto.,
all around Denton and neighboring towns in order to preclude
a solid urban strip from Waco on the South, to Oklahoma City
on the north.
5. CITIZEN INPUT INTO LAND USE DECISIONS
The Planning and Zoning Commission, City Councils Land
Use Planning Committee# and citizens who responded to the Concept
Plan emphasized the need for a means of providing on-going neigh-
borhood improvement as well as input of all citizens into decisions
made by the various city departments, boards, or the City Council
as a whole, especially as regards land use issues. Also, the
update procedure on page 4 recognizes there are future questions
which remain unanswered or issues which need additional study to
provide a framework for responsible land use decisions (for ex- {
ample, a more detailed multi-mode integrated transportation plan.)
Those procedures emphasize citizen input by self-selected cross-
sectional type committees.' one intent of this type of committee
is to strongly encourage such committee representatives to be
not only representative of their part of the City but also work
on problems of all parts of the City and not just on one specialized
interest.
- 51-
t1r4i r
In addition to such future formal city-wide study
committees, it is also recognized that continuing local neighbor- '
hood self-help associations are important for the continued main- j
tenance of viable neighborhoods. However, individual neighbor-
hood problems are many times intertwined with adjacent neighbor-
hoods and the city as a whole. Therefore, the community unit
concept (volume li Appendix) suggests as one of its basic ingred-
t ients the need to bind together diverse sections of the community
to share in common facilities and mutual problems. As a step to-
wards much concepts and at the acme time address immediate local
neighborhood needs, the following process is presented for neirgh-
borhood groups considerations a) neighborhoods define themselves
i
and astablish neighborhood associations; b) neighborhoods cluster
themselves into communities or.villages and establish a council';: 1
made up of representatives of the neighborhood.groups, on a con- I
tinuing basis, these councils could address such things asi
1) proteotion and cnaintenance'of individual and
community propartyt
2) crime and fire prevention! 1
3) assess needs for and plan for basic life-
support services within or adjacent to each
neighborhood or community unit,(i.a.`foo¢,
health, facilities) schools, child care
centers, housing diversity and density,
stc.)t
4) assess needs for recreational, open, green,
agricultural, and park facilitiest
5) cooperative methods of conserving ranergy
such as garden or,food co-ops, car or van
pooling$ talent pools, sto.1
6) multi-mode transportation needs and facilities.
(This is not an exhaustive list of the functions
of these groups.)
-52-
;,t,
1

These neighborhood or community groups would serve a need for
local area self-improvement as well as provide a means for en-
suring dialogue between neighborhoods or community units with
city decision making and in addition, provide a vehicle to re-
presentative selection to future city cross-sectional study
t committees.
i
6. PUBLIC EDUCATION
Because the committee supports the basic philosophy
adopted by the City Council in calling for this studyt i.e.#
study of the issues and input by informed citizens into land
1 use decisions is important, it is recommenddd that support for
continued study and education of the public is reflected in
budget and policy decisions by the city coun:il,
the issues relating to informed land use decision making
are complex. The costs and benefit of different decisions are
not always easily identified. Therefore, staff time and supportive '
resources are needed to gathar the data necessary to oakis ds=
cisione.congruent with the basic.gosyls of this study. Also,
education of the citizenry is important co that decisions they
make on public issues are informed decisions, Kith knowledge of
their long range impact on the life-styles they have become
rccustomed to or desire to attain.
This continuing public education effort should be coordinated
by one responsible entity such as the City, but should also take
advantage of local educational resources and work through such
groups as the Chamber of Commerce, the League of Women Voters,
neighborhood or village councils, and local media.

Meeting Date: February 17, 1981
City Council Agenda Item 0 k
Subject: Recommendation of Planning and Zoning Commission regarding City of
Denton Annexation Policy
Summary: The Planningg and Zoning Commission recently approved a preliminary `
plat of Hillhaven Addition in the City's' Extra Territorial Jurisdiction
(ETJ). Hillhaven Addition is an approximately 200 acre subdivision s
located west of Sherman Drive and immeidately east of Stuart Road,
During the Plannninn and Zoning commission's consideration of this
lat the issue of annexation was discussed. Areas outside the City
omits but within our two mile ETJ are subject to the City of Denton's
subdivision regulations but not subject to the toning regulations.
Basically the City regulates the adequate provision for streets,
water and sewer distribution and collection facilities, but cannot control
the land use, and cannot directly control the density of development.
Complicating this specific case, some of the single family construction in
the Hillhaven Addition is tied to the Denton County mortgage financing
bond program. Commissioners were cognizant that annexing the Hillhaven
Addition would make the construction ineligible for the County Program.
Annexation prior to development wouid allow the City to zone the property
land enforce
and therefore control
building codes,
of plat approval.
This situation has led to the recommendation of the planning and
Zoning Commission to the City Council,
Recommendation: The Planning and Zoning Commission expressed concern about the
lack of land use control in areas suchh as Hillhaven which are
adjacent of the City limits and feels the City Council should
consider annexation of these areas because of the need to control
development, (No specific' recommendation was made concerning
annexation of Hillhaven Addition,)
Alternatives: initiate CithyvenstaAdditiff to

of annexation

3. City Council adopts an official policy that appropriate City
staff initiate annexation proceedings on any area of the ETJ that
is submitted for subdivision approval.
