low density residential areas (development should miiniiin
character of area, architectural, landscaping) etc. )
This site borders on the city limits and is not near an
existing low density residential area,

ANALYSIS CONTINUED
r
(5) Input into planning by neighborhood or village y
councils is provided, y .
The Land Use Guide specifies that any form of continuous strip
commercial is strongly discouraged in/or backing up to low
intensity areas. Many policies of the Guide promote an increase
and awareness of better urban design as a policy for Denton. The }
inclusion of this policy is intended to emphasize and consolidate l
this concept, and also specifically recommend that zoning,
subdivision, and other city ordinances be chant-. d towards a
unified urban design for the City. Particular concerns are
signage, screening outside storage , architectural, landscaping ,
scenic views, green spaces , historical preservation, and other
similar urban design concepts .
The intent in discouraging continuous strip commercial is largely
to protect entrances into the City from heavvyy commercial uses
i similar to those along Fort Worth Driva and Dallas Drive.
Although overall development is limited in this area, there is
an auto salvage operation and another operation which involved
storage of heavy machinery directly south of ,this iitaj both are
{f
non-conforming uses. A commercial (C) zoning classification at
the site in this request would not protect against the ppossibility
of future developments which do not adhere to the Land ,Use Plan
and its policies on urban design, etc. It is felt that the
possible perpetuation of uses similar to those along other heavy
commarcial strips is a mayor consideration in this request.
Staff has spoken with the letitioners and it is our failing that #
what is presently being proposed ie acceptable, however, not sits I
plan was provided show n specific details.

REC6*%NDATION
Mr, Hughes and Mr. Campbell originally submitted a petition staking
a change of toning from agricultural (A) to commercial (C) claasi-
fieation, The Planning and Zoning Commission considered the re
! quest at its June 3 , 1981 matting and recommended that the request
E be modified to planned development (!�b) zoningg ciseaification with
t the condition that ace as be permitted from Riverside Drive only
and not from Highway 380 East,
It is felt that lanned development (PD) classification for
commercial use will provide an opportunity for stricter site
plan control, and Subsequently, naure some protection against
ppossibla future development of another heavy commercial strip in
Denton, The attached Bite pplan (attachment 05) has bean submitted
to the Planning and Zoning Commission for its review and approval,

1 RE$ Recommendation of the Traffic Safety Support
Commission for a mid-block pedestrian crossing on
Avenue E between Highland and Eagle for the North
Texas coliseum,
At their June mestingo the Traffic Safety Sup oft Commission
reviewed the request of the Police Department for a Mid-block
pedestrian crossing for the coliseum. The block on Avenue H , i
between Highland and Eagle is approximately 1000 feet long.
f There is a large amount of pedestrian traffic that, uses the
south sidewalk at the coliseum. Normal tendency Eor this
pedestrian traffic is to cross mid-block to get to the Fouts
Field parking facilities or the NTSD campus bus. Also, during
large events at the coliseum, the Police Department indicated
that there was a large amount of indiscriminate pedestrian
crossings being made in this general areao it was the fesling
of the Police Department that a marked cross walk would provide
more safety for pedestrians and hopefully a more orderly
crossing pattern. {
The staff has reviewed the request and agrees that there is, a 1
need for some type of crossing in the area. The sight distance )
is good in both directione, The only reservation that W have
is that crossing would be at mid-block rather than at an
intersection, which is a little bit different from normal
pedestrian crossing patterns, 11oweverp the staff felt that the
benefits of this crossing outwelghed the disadvantaoas, . And
therefore would recommend approval along with the Traffic
Safety Commission, if you or the CounolI have any further
questions, please call,

DATEI June 29► 1981
1 RE: Removal of signals at sycamore d Elm, Sycamore &
. Locust, and Avenue C 6 Highland
Within the last two months, the Traffic Staff has reviewed the
signals at the three locations listed aboiie. We have found
that in all three 'cases, the intersections do not meet Warrants
for signals at an of these three locations. Basically, what
I we find is that the cross street traffic on Sycamore and the
cross street traffic on Highland is not sufficient to meet the
minimum requirements . After Keviewing this with the Traffic
Safety Commission, the Commission voted to recommend to you
that the signals be removed it all three locations.
Avenue C and Highland has also been studied previously by
consution on Avenue C. destfian traffic
