Part of this policy includes the eventual need to improve Bell Avenue between McKinney Avenue and Sherman Drive 1 in the most traffic-efficient:, route that is economically and environmentally feasible. It is recognized that de- termining the final detail alignment and width of this connection involves many complicated factors of traffic 1 engineering, economic cost, and neighborhood environ- mental protection, Therefore, it is further recommended that prior to such connection, a more detailed profes- sional impact study be conducted to analyze the alterna- tive means and impacts of such improvements." Item 2 { The current Thoroughfare Plan should show tho existing i Bell Avenue alignment as a major arterial and the loop around TWU shown on the map should be deleted.

One avenue for this future Denton study was the "Denton 80's" committee that looked comprehensively at the future of Denton, in such areas as cultural activities, education, health, public facilities, recreation, environmental and beautification Issues, Coordinated with that effort, the City Council initiated more specific study on the future land questions, by commissioning the Land Use Planning Committee, The task of the committee was to produce a Development Guide that could be used In day-to-day decision making on such things as the Capital improvement Program, Zoning, Subdivisions, etc, lxl The format of the plan, de-'ermined by the Planning and Zoning and the City Council as the most useful, was a combination policy plcni and fixed design plan, This guide represents the document product of this specific program, 's The Planntnq Process To produce the Development Guide, a 48 member City--wide planning ' Committee was established. This committee was composed of residents, polioymakers, developers, civic leaders, and public officials, selected to represent a cross-section of persons with specific expertise in communtt I' y development mid parsons who are both directly and indirectly concerned with the future development of the City of Denton, k vi i i j~ I 1 -low ~i , tw M Two methods for selecting representatives were used to form the 46 member committee. Established agencies, organizations, and commissions which were already involved in planning or development in the City were invited and asked to send representatives to participate in the planning workshops, 1 I ~ M i y I s The remaining representatives included eighteen citizens-at-large; some seven persons representing development interests-homebuilders, developers, realtors, bankers, and large landowners, and one person to represent other civic groups not otherwise specifically designated. These representatives were self-selected at an open meeting on December 17, 1910. A E F E _Y! The PlartrtintLUorksho~s w The medium through which the committee worked was the "Planning Wor}ashop"--educational work sessions--which provided a context in which the committee, designed and evaluated the issues, the available alternitives and the policies which could encourage the desired development, pattern, Tito first, second, and third workshops were directed to developing a common planning language and understanding. Through discussion and workbooks, rai furnished to the committee, the committee was familiarized with some planning terms, vocabulary, and theories of City planning as well as some j basic development facts about Denton. i ; ~ ~ ~11VaH ~Lp^b,.f . i j~~ )i~.eww I ~?~f 1 ` ~ ~ \ TIS r !!JJ, In the fourth unrl ,°[fth workshops, the members of the Planning Committee Identified 0a, ma/or, problems and Issues that they fudged most Important for Denton, The identified Issues served ris rr bast-v for work in the sixth workshop, when the alternative dovtrtopment plans worn prepared by workshop ` parttell)(o ts. I r T 'low Y Iw I t ii s. I i ZI 1 i I ~ i The Consensus Plan I~ The consolidation, evaluation and final approval of the consensus plan and policies comprised the lost steps toward the Denton Development 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 baste city planning foundations of density, major transportation and location of major j activity centers. Detailed variations existed, but all plans exhibited similar vgnoiples indicating a high degree of consensus among the cominitteey.* f NOTE;*A more detailed comparison of the alternative plans is available In a separate report "Towards a Consensus Plan for Denton", June, 1980. F ix I IV4Rj ~~t r+ r, ei In addition, the technical staff conducted an independent evaluation of the s r alternatives compared to the finally adopted consensus plan presented in the next section. This evaluation 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 i in Chapter 11 of this report. The development of a concept plan was the first major step towards a j Development Guide for I ; Denton, Texas, Chapter 11f of the Development Guide f ' Is a more detailed expansion of the policies presented by the Concept Plan, j The following report then represents the total Development Guide for Denton, ` Texas. i f j J f i fa i 1 Pr ii (R I I A 1 I I i I.

INTRODUCTION M The Denton Development Guide is both a document and a planning process with an emphasis on the day-to-day use of the process, This document Is divided into two main sections: The Concept Plan and ~Y Development Policies. The Concept Plan represents the bong Range 11E Framework for Growth. It could be compared to a constitution that sets the base for future day-to-day decision, i The next section presents a set of development policies that as a group support i the framework of the Concept Plan, The policies are Mtended to be used as a i toot to aid in day,-to-day development decisions, particularly for government officials, but also for all segments of the community, The set of policies is J also intended to document and struoture public decision-making in order to report what is the official policy of the City, These policies are not intended to answer all questions, 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. ff~ Thia use includes daily discussion, debate, reftnement, redrafting or t re-commitment to the policies in a oonsensus planning process, Only through this continuous use can this guide serve its goats of: 1. Assistance to comprehensive decision-making in a consensus planning process, Z Providing a check list of major issues for the purpose of insuring that all issues are oonstdered In decision-making, 3. Encourage coordination, uniformity, and consistency to our community development. j it PAGE I ~t r1 w I B. THE USE OF THE GUIDE 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-clay , use of this guide is intended to be flexible dependent upon: 1. The extent of uncertainty or controversy, 2. The tune constraint of a pending decision, 3. The technical nature of the Issue as compared to an issue that is primarily a community 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 responsible decision makers. Highly technical questions could be supported by professional studies with very little~ if an need o consensus Y, of planning, I 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 i this guide by a cross-sectional, self-selected citizen based consensus planning process, whether only for study of a small question from this guide or for the guide's complete revision, a In response to the spirit of this planning process, a formalized procedure for the use of the guide was approved i by the Planning and zoning and City Council prior to the work of the Land Use Committee, This procedure Is as follows; I I i I f i PAGE 2 _ 'l.w 'I Y J T N t i li I P"? UPDATE PROCEDURE 1. UPDATE DAILY ALONG WITH RELATED DECISIONS (ZONING, C.P. SUBDIVISIONS, ETC.) a. Staff Summary Reports The staff report on all City Council/Planning and Zoning decision f items shall clearly relate alternative decisions with Impact on appropriate policies in the plan. 11 b. If a decision indicates a corresponding policy change is required to the plan, then. i i 1) The staff is required to draft a modified policy change and present it to the next regularly scheduled City Council meeting for action or policy revision. If in case of zoning action, the required policy modification shall accompany the zoning ordinance final action. 2) The City Council will make final review of potential policy G change and incorporate said change -in the Land Use Policy Guide. { c. Any Planning and Zoning Commission or City Council Member may present a proposed policy change whether or not. a pending or recent Land Use decision has been made. The proposed change to forwarded to the Planning and Zoning Commission for their review and recommendation to the City Council. d. If a proposed policy change is determined by the City Council to be a (1) relatively controversial decision, and (2) not an urgent decision, then a speotal mini-neighborhood or Sector consensw planning erors-seotion type of Study Committee, headed by Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council members, may be commissioned. The Committee study time will be structured to the time constraints of the decision. The committee will be charged with bringing back a recommendation to the full Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council. PAGE 3 rj 2. YEARLY POLICY GUIDE RE-ADOPTION a. In April the complete policy guide is placed on the Planning and Zoning Commission Agenda for re-adoption or recommended minor modification. After such study, the Planning m:d Zoning ? Commission is required to forward a recomendation to the City Council at their second meeting in May. j b. The City Council will take the Planning and Toning Commission I recommendation and reconfirm or modify the policy guide and If adopt the guide as a policy document for the upcoming year. 3. GENERAL POLICY FOR MAJOR UPDATE I a. This policy guide Is to be updated approximately eve0y rive years to ten years. r, 1) Update dependent upom a) Population Growth b) Extent of amendments during preceding years (more amendments--more need for general upstate), 2) Process for update to be dec(d id at the time of upstate. i I i E PAGE 4 f~^ `f is E h C. CONCLUSIONS The use of this guide to the context of the total community development decision making process should dherefore take five steps: Step 1: A quick reference to the Concept Plan to insure over-all broad consistency with the pending decision. s , i Step 2. Reference the functional area of this guide (i.e. housing, r~ thoroughfares, etc.) for any appropriate policy. Step 3: Reference specialized policy areas of this guide: *locational *special conditions such as current capacity of area public j facilities to support the proposed development. Step 4: Reference other related detail plans, technical information i ) and/or unique individualized characteristics of the issue under 1 1 j study. Step 5: Assess the public controversy, the technical nature and/or time I constraint of the issue tinder study and then take appropriate planntnq/decision making cotton. i (ca 4 PAGE 6 E 15 v ki `r5 1 I_ p! } ! ! 11, THE CONCEPT PLAN LONG RANGE FRAMEWORK FOR GROWTH } I o' t 1 P Nr a y ?u'tj 4?

INTRODUCTION The Concept Plan outlines the basic Long Range Framework, From this i ! framework, the Long Range Goats and Objectives emerged, This foundation E then forms the basis for the day-to-Ony development policies which follow in the next section. The intent is to provide a context for decision-making today based on a unified tong range context that helps make today's decision solve todays problem, while at the same time, not compounding problems for the future, r~ The following section describes the Concept Plan's Goals and Objectives. The next section describes the fundamental physical locational policies of the j Concept Plan. B. OVERALL GOALS AND OBJECTIVES, i i 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 documentation of the goats and objectives indicated by the Concept Plan. 1. LONG RANGE DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT GOALS ~ Denton should become a self-sustaining city with a balanced aconomio 1 ~ base, a choice of various housing styles and a variety of retail, employment and leisure activities, All of these should be centered around the principle of providing economic opportunities and services of a moderate-sized City while maintaining the small town atmosphere. ThA goat is to pro,116o our basic needs while minimizing our ecological and social cost, This can be as^omplished by such measures as: i f i PADS 7 f{~R~ '.,II 3 1 1 !l a, Encouragtnc~a Vane Housing from high density to low density and ranchette, with an emphasis upon moderate to low density, b. Keeping all Transportation Systems in balance with land use, c, Encouraging Orcen Belts, Open Space and Agriculture Lands both r within and adjacent to our City. I i d. Devolo tQni} Such Concepts as the Community Unit Concept (Communities within a city, described in more detail to Volume 11 Appendix,) 1 in Economies and Lt est les that recognize a sense of e. Encourag g - productivity and a period of conservation by emphasizing: c+; i f I I 1) Transportation and Land Use systems that are efficient and I. I support a life-line to goods, services, fobs, and food supplies within close proximity to homes, 2) These. transportation systems should be energy efficient and give equal consideration to such modes as foot, bike-scooter, public, an individual nd auto, and leisure provide housing closer to employment, f, Recognizing Individuals And Families of differing life-styles and I needs: "protecting all by providing for ail", k g, Minimize Eaotogtcai, public health, crime or fire prevent' .In loses by thorough, on-going study of these issues by professi •4.4als as t_ well as the community as a whole. h. Provide For_ On-(lotng Citizen Eduoatlon and participation into future decisions, r PAGE 8 ~I I '0 k v 2, LONG RANGE DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT OBJECTIVES Thte study was designed to emphasize the physical development faotors towards the fulfillment of our general tong-range community goals. r1 However, related social and environmental goals and activities were an integral part of the decision-making process that led toward defining the Long-Range Growth Concept. i In this context, this Development Guide outlines detailed policies that will I tend to encourage a steady, moderate growth in a development pattern characterized by high concentrations 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 emphastzgd in sub-city areas primarily intended to service these areas. The policies for the overall growth frame-work will center around basic objectives oft I a. Protection of Existing Development, particularly residential development, b. Encouraging Development where public facilities capacity is already available and ecologically sensitive areas are not significantly c'a impacted. i c. Providing and Maintaining -n overall City Balance between: 1) Transportation and Land Use The transportation land use conoept map provides the basso ! policy for this balance insofar as regional and local transit systems and Individual automobile traffic is concerned. (integrating pedestrian, b±ke and/or scooter traffic Is intended by policy but details are beyond the scope of this plan.) PAGE 9 W1 fm'usr... Irs~4:a{yyyy~.. [j A 2) Population anti Utilities r I The long-range development concept suggests raising overall city densities only slightly over current levels of 6.2 people per, developed acre to average density of 8,5 people per acre. Translated to the 55 square mile study area would mean a possible physical holding capacity of 175,000 to 225,000 people. This population figure corresponds with j current long range utility planning policies and projects. Based on current development trends, the current basic f~ utility structure would accommodate growth into the 21st century and provide basic utility facilities for I00,000 people. Any development beyond this figure would assume j 1 adequate energy resources and acceptable economic and ecological costs in order to support life styles realized today.. i i i C_ I i l I PAGE 10 to li ~ f fj v r r~ C. CONCEPT PLAN LOCATIONAL POLICIES 1. HIGHLY CONCENTRATED ACTIVI'T'Y CENTERS The Concept Alan suggests a balance 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 dominant center is the Triangle Mall area with other major centers located at the Loop 28817-35 area to the north and the Airport area to the west. The plan i also recognizes the unique aspects of the original downtown area as a special-purpose, high-intensity emphasis center. { j 2. HIGHLY CONCENTRATED INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT The plan suggests industrial activities in large and moderate-sized j concentrations, with the majority of the jobs in three industrial areas; the I Airport area, the North 1-35/Hwy 77 area, and the Southeast Denton ' i Triangle Mall area (generally north to Morse Road, bounded by Woodrow on t r the West and Mayhill/1-35 on the east.) i 8. MODERATE- SIZE BUD-CENTERS i i In addition to the highly concentrated major activity centers, the plan `ry suggested a system of medium and small nodes of commercial and related activity along the freaway and at selected Intersections of projected new major thoroughfares. However, this development would use site planning, buffer zones of open spaces, etc, to avoid creation of unsightly and Inefficient strip-type commercial. PAGE 11 i r , i 4. PREDOMINANTLY LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT The plan indicates predominantly low density residential development in the city as a whole, i ' I 6, HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT Higher intensity residential uses, represented by high and rnedium density Pti` development, were distributed in a number of locations with a major emphasis to limit excessive concentration in any one place, except for the major activity centers, i I The plan indicates that concentration of high density housing should be encouraged in the major activity center areas in order to lessen transportation congestion, conserve energy and offer diverse life styles for Denton residents. The plan shows the more limited moderately sized f concentrations of units generally related to the freeways, greenbelts, c major thoroughfares, major and moderate activity centers, or as buffers to j higher intensity land use. To avoid creation of additional "concrete cities", site planning, limited use of concrete parking areas, provision of open spaces, small and moderate parks, and buffering greenbelts is with , encouraged with all moderate or high-density housing, I j E 6. TRANSPORTATION The plan indicates development patterns related to a transportation system with the automobile as a dominate form of movement, generally in relation to the current freeway and major, thoroughfare plan. However, the plan recognizes an increasing role fo,- mass transit and strongly encourages a local system as a priority item. As the concentrations of development approach the plan's holding capacity, local and mass transit will be required to serve the plan's land use pattern. j PAGS 12 -10 1 ~ 1 Fy i 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. Ways to provide for pedestrian, bike and scooter traffic no", and in the future must be studied A and provided for, if the Concept Plan is to realtzi its goals. 7. DRAINAGE AND OPEN SPACE PRESERVATION f j The plan preserves 11 majority of the floodpiain areas and floodways as open space, maintaining the natural creek channel for drainage purposes. The plan further suggests a general theme to encourage open space as an element of all urban design decisions. i { 8. AGRICULTURAL LAND PRESERVATION , I The committee recognized the need to preserve and encourage use of II r~ agricultural lands both within and near to the City of Denton. Further study of ways these lands may be preserved, incentives for their use to 1 produce agricultural products essential to feeding and clothing the residents of Denton and how preservation of such land might alter or impart upon the final plan of this committee is needed. The following Concept Plan map represents a graphic presentation of the preceding locationol framework. The next section presents a more detailed set of policies designed to help guide community development towards the I~ goals of this Concept Plan.

The Purpose of Destgnating Ma/or Activity Areas Is to provide a policy commitment to a general location in order r to Insure: 1) Adequate public infrastructure of sewer, water, and transportation facilities to support these centers. Without such a plan, public funds can be ineffectively utilized; 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 and for growth to be in balance with existing ihfra-structure capacity. ra 2) Make a commitment to the business community that activities i in these areas will be supported by City Government while 'I making 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 neighborhood. I { E b. Commercial and Employment Emphasis The consensus showed by the land use alternatives indicates the major activity centers to be in the following areas. 1 PAGF. 16 I r NNW 4'1¢'Pd K; t, rI 1.11 L:a 1'%~( j l I 1) 1-368; Hwy 77; North Loop 288 area. 2) Golden Triangle Mall area to Mayhili Road. 3) Airport and 1-35 area, 4) Original Downtown, i 4 The plan indicates a consensus that the original downtown should be r,. continued as a moderate-to-major center, but possibly in a different or unique category with emphasis on governmental, banking, and spectulized retail type urban center. Therefore, it is also given a r major activity center designation in order to establish policy c0 I emphasis for this purpose. c. Diversity and High Density Residential It is the policy of this plan that land use diversity, including high I I density housing, be encouraged in these areas to not only be a buffer i to lower intensity, adjacent areas but also provide transportation balance and energy conservation by huAng housing to close proximity to jobs and services.* l i d. Specific Center Charactertstcs 1) Triangle Mail Area, Dominant Commerical Center J It Is the Intent of this plan that the Triangle Mall area have a slightly higher commercial emphasis in addition to encouraging a substantial employment balance. As a guideline and Indication of scale, this area is intended to serve at maximum development 900 acres of commercial and Industrial uses representing over 119 000 jobs. i _ F I *NOTE All policies are contingent on existing available infra-structure and specific site design considerations, See Individualized Policies Section, PAGF, Z? i r; k -1A •,;M, V. t 1 a i 1 2) 1-35 and North Loop 288. Balanced Center i ! I This center emphasizes more of a balance between commercial I oa and industrial uses. As a guideline for maximum development, this area is intended to provide over 300 acres of commercial I and Industrial development representing over 5,000 fobs in the area. ! 3) Airport Area, Dominant Fmpldyment Center I , j , Predominantly Industrial land of approximately 1,400 acres will { result in a capacity of over 18,000 fobs in the area. 4) Original Downtown This plan recognizes the unique aspects of the original downtown area as a special purpose high-intensity center for the City, This i guide suggests a continuing policy for support of the downtown area. As part of a program initiated by a Downtown Land Owners Association, the City would support moderate, public action and expenditures in an effort to upgrade and preserve the area. Incentives and policies for encouraging realization of j previous plans would be encouraged. Innovative programs should be explored; such as emphasis upon pedestrian traffic, use of golf cart-like "trains" within the downtown area, while developing perimeter parking and local public transportation collection points. i E PAGE l8 i AP 'a e. Low Density Neighborhood Protection I It is the policy of this plan that development on the fringe of these high activity centers, adjacent to low density residential areas, should be protected by such measures as intensity n' gradation (buffertng), strict site design requirements, f transportation, land use balance, etc, Further, traffic planning ' i should insure that no local residential streets are utilized for j general circulation to the centers. Development of the P~ i community unit concept with its neighborhood or village council will further ensure neighborhood protection, } s , , i' PAGE 18 r , i 2 MODERATE ACTNM CENTERS a, Purpose and Intent The purpose of identifying moderate centers of activity parallels many of the purposes discussed earlier for large centers, like balanced city wide gruwth. 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 moderate size centers. This policy helps insure the tong-range land use balance indicated by the concept plan. b. Location ,j i - The general locations of these centers are shown on the-Map on page c. Size/Intensity j ! Most of these centers should serve four neighborhoods (one potential i community unit) of from 5,000 to 15,000 people. The size of these centers should then be 30 acres to 250 acres. These centers can take on many mixes of land use. A proto-type mix that encourages diversity and the community unit concept would see a center towards the higher end of the acreage range whereas a specialized j center, say commercial, would need to be towards the small size, For a example, very diversified center at full development would bet j PAGE 20 r y A1:3 rriS ~ ~ E I 30 Acres of Service Industry, 20 Acres of commercial; i 150 Acres of Public Lands (large parks, schools, government buildings, etc.); 50 Acres of N gher Density 11Dust ng/Apartments, 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 s}woe greenwa i ys, pedestrian and bicycle ways, This land use concept would serve well the physical elements needed to implement the community unit concept that is discussed in Volume 11 Appendix. Most centers, if not as diversified, would be towards the smaller scale ' f of 30 to 50 acres for prtmar(ly commercial center. J Key factors for judging, a proposed development for this size and Intensity ore; i 1) Compare first to existing infra-structure capacity size/intensity 44 i as the current development is always limited to existing capacity, 2) Compare the development to the ultimate capacity (See Section on Land Use/7'ransportation Balance) of the center unit or other defined study area. Note, a proposed development should not utilize the total area intensity capacity unless the total area capacity policy is increased. j f PAGE; 21 f! r 3) Give size bonus for diversity, i.e. (housing, commercial, office, public facilities, open spaco), and conversely limit size for specialized development, i.e. all commercial. It is recommended by this policy that all such judgments be made on proposed development that will be realized within five years. If such development plans are not realized within five years, the area would then be subject to reconsideration (back-zoning) to a smaller size (specialized center size.) I , d, Diversity It is the policy to strongly encourage diversity in the moderate size center in order to encourage; Intensity Gradation (buff ering); j Energy Conservation: Transportation Balance (Eliminate trips across town for day to-day needs) A sense of "my part of town" (a community unit concept); j Jobs Close to Housing. r i The above mentioned policy (C-3) is one incentive to create a more f diverse center. This policy suggests the size of the center can be } increased if the ILrtd uses are diverse. However, it is the policy to grant such bomises to actual developments and not quaranteo them for future contingent phases. (Reference Policy C-3 Preceding,) e. High Densit2 Housing E The plan indicates some high density housing to connection with the major centers under the following limitations: "Used f or duff ering; Used for Diversity (see above); PAGE 22 r 1 G ~ •,4R~I t .~.e; ~ 1 t 1 *Access to Major Thoroughfares Required; *Limit Concentration in One Place (500 to 1,000 units); *Good site design standards to protect adjacent single- family oreas (large setbacks, landscaped front yards, screening' fences, traffic to major streets only, etc,). i f. Low Density Neighborhood Housing 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 ' f i gradation (buffering), strict site design control, (setbacks, parking, r' landscaping, etc,), insure transportation land use balance (see policy r` in transportation section). Further, traffic planning should insure i ! that no local residential streets are utilized for general circulation to the high intensity developments. { fat i F , g. Strip Commercial ! 1) Overall Policy Intent It is the intent by encouraging centers of activities that the plan discourage strip commercial, Designated corridors (although a form of strip commercial) will be encouraged to create grouping of activity centers down, the corridor (nodes). This will be done by such means as: C ~ f *Limited Curb Cuts; i *Requiring Planned Development 7oning of Multi-Ownership to Provide Joint Site Designs (i.e. parking set-backs, etc,); ' i *Encouraging Diversity Down the Corridor (commercial nodes broken ui) by high density housing, offices, etc.); *discourage unsightly and hazardous strip commercial by requiring sign restrictions, buffering by greenbelts and/or landscaping in site designs. 1 c PAGE 2.? )~eAt;1 ~ 1 "655 F° 1 rJ rr S. LOW INT SrrY ARYAS a, Purpose and Intent All areas not designated high or moderate intensity areas are considered low intensity areas, The primary purpose of these areas is to insure the overall area land use transportation balance by controlling the overall density and intensity (75 trips/day/gross acre). Further, these areas represent our primary housing areas,, Thus, these areas should emphasize residential use whereas the other intensity areas might emphasize commercial or employment areas. { b. Location E j The general location of these areas is shown an the map on page 26. I l r a. Size Antensity f These areas are planned to correspond to an overall groan density policy of 4.7 units/acre and overall intensity policy measured at 75 ; w trips per day per gross acre. (See Appendix Volume If for i application of these policies.) ui d. Diversity/Neighborhood Protection Diversified land use encouraged, but concentration discouraged, except for low density residentiat, small scattered sites of apartments (Usually less than 200 units, but no more than 500 units-,tee Housing.

HOUSING The purpose of the following housing policies is to encourr,.ge housing types that respond to the differing economic and individual lifestyles of Denton's citizens, protect existing and future neighborhood integrity and insure that our over-alt city-wide density policy is preserved. 1 1. HOUSING DIVERSITY j i It is the policy of this plan that housing diversity be strongly encouraged in Denton as a whole. The policy of housing diversity is cic sly related to housing size and housing density, therefore, the following specific policies in those areas should also be referenced. In striving f or the goal of housing diversity, the plan recommends that in judging development decisions, we: I a. Week towards differing housing types in such quantities city-wide ? and sector-wide that correspond to Denton citizens' financial ~ G constraints and desires for differing Iifestyles. b. Diversified housing should be avatlable in all sectors of the city, j Lij~"► which also 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 congestions and provides more of a sense of community in differing areas of the town. o. Diversified housing patterns should be well planned to insure that all neighborhood Integrity is maintained. Examples of a few such planning policies are, PACE 27 6 z *No one type of housing overly concentrated in one area; j f *Good site design transition between housing types and density; buffers (greenbelts, housing intensity gradation, etc.); i *Transportatlon design where higher density can be served ' I without flowing through lower density transportation facilities, Provisions for: / *Multi-mates of transportation integrated within and between 4 `4 neighborhoods and activity canters, I *Codes shoWd be expanded where necessary and strongly j enfo ced if already on the boorar to mourn quality of smaller size ? using. & NIGHER DEN9rff HOUMG } r a. Apartments: Geographic Atstribution It is the overall ~ policy of this plan that apartments be dispersed P) throughout the City with limited areas of high concentration in any F i ± one area (See the map on page 33 map,), b. Moderate Intensity Centers (See Policios on Page 22.) ' c, Low Intensity Areas Individualized sites or small areas throughout the City would be permitted only if It meets certain, limited conditions. Typical j limitations would be, 1 I I i PAGE: 1B ,f } M r€~ 1) To have major street access (the intent is to limit access through low density housing areas). 2) Desirable to have access to pedestrian, bike-scooter and public transportation, 3) To have strict 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 charactev with neighborhood, etc.). j 4) To have access or be located adjacent to floodplains and/or j greenbelts or large open space is desirable. (The intent is for higher density to provide more of their recreation demand and i also this will help keep the density low for the overall area.). I ~ i 5) Not to exceed overall neighborhood density and intensity standard (4.7 gross units per acre on average density and 75 trips/ day/acre on average Intensity). ! 6) To be sure that existing street and other public facilities have I adequate, safe capacity for all modes of transportation. 7) Apartment locations that buffer other higher intensity uses are desirable. j I > 8) Apartment units are not to be concentrated in one area. A guideline for this policy is under 500 units with most under 206 units in any one continuous cluster of apartments. l j. PACE 29 i y'! U E 9. APARTMENTS, RECRF' ~5'S.. ON FACILITIES AND SITE PLANNING Since multi-family densities put a greater strain on community recreation areas than do single family areas, and in many cases, create some recreation and open space needs not typical of single family, the Intent of this policy is to encourage apartment comp' axes to provide a defined amount of usable open and community gav Ren as well as recreation f equipment and other space such as swimming pools, playgrounds, parks, etc. In addition, site plan review tends to Insure neighborhood protection. { Therefore, it Is the policy of this c..dde to regWre Planned Development i Ordinance control for larger complexes. Since the policy could be, prohibitive to small apartment complexes, It Is not suggested that it be applied in such cases. i 4. HOUSING AND NEIGHBORHOOD PRESERVATION + The intent of these policies as well as numerous other policies throughout j 3 this guide are Intended to preserve our neighborhoods, the backbone of our j community. This goal Is reinforced by the current unstable economic conditions and dwindling resources which make such things as rising housing and energy costs a paramount federal, state, and local Issue. Therefore, i the preservation of our existing housing stock becomes a priority and a mefor intent of these policies. The specific policies in support of these issues are., a. Modify codes to encourage remodeling of housing and re-development of neighborhoods by providing bonus in regulation, taxes, and codes (See more related policies Irr General Land Use ` Management Policies Section.). j b. The following general polteies are suggested for all current neighborhoods, but particularly older neighborhoods; ;I PAGE, 30 i i r ,t a ~I k 1) Code enforcement will have a priority for older neighborhoods. 2) Neighborhood committees, especially multt-neighborhood i councils (community unit) will be encouraged to interface with planning and zoning, parks and recreation or other pertinent boards as well as city departments and the City Council. ~Y c. In review of zoning, subdivision, city budget Capital Improvement Program Planning and other similar decision points priority will be given to older existing neighborhoods to tnsurs and put the r~ neighborhood and public on notice that zoning stability will be j maintained, subdivisions and housing redevelopment will be encouragd -,id public funds will have a priority to these areas over newly expanding areas. 5, i9M APARTMEM MOLDER NEGHBORHOODS Some older neighborhoods have been opened up to apartment develop- ment and there are some unique parcels that are unrealistic for further 1 I single family development. If it is determined that single I family preservation is not totally preferable for the neighborhood (see above policy) and higher density housing is to be allowed, then, it is Me policy of f this guide that existing single family still will have a priority for preservation. Therefore, the intent of the following policies are for that l goal. I a. Neighborhoods that already have a moderate amount (usually more than 2 complexeVblock) of the current type of apartments would be allowed to continue without any new major restrictions. However, neighborhoods should provide input prior to decision on this point. PALS 31 u iSY:y RS a. ~ y t~ _ I n I b. Neighborhoods that have only a very limited amount of spot apartment development (usually two or loss complexes per block) should have strict site design standards such as; 1 j I f 1) Landscaped front yard, setbacks equivalent in site and character to the adjacent single family. 2) No parking in front of the complex, 3) Limited concentration on any one block (two per block as maximum guideline). f I' 4) Side and rear yard solid screening fences. j c. Neighborhoods should be encouraged to develop plans for theta i E sectors which take into account the needs of the entire city, This can best be done by forming multi-neighborhood ametations, (i.e. Community Unit Volume 11 Appendix) and (See Citizen htput r { Section). t f ~ I f t If j ~f t I 1 1 I PAGE 32 f I 1 a too, r I • i ,t ♦ 1 • , i I 7 stir ri \ ~ 1 I I Wit ;a IV IN- ,N.

Like all other areas of this guide, these park policies are intended to present only the basic policies which can be used to guide the more detailed master pork planning by the Park Board of the City. E 1. PARKS AND RECREATION ~r a, Park Master Plat i 1) Purpose and Intent { it is the policy of this guide that parks and recreation facilities 1 i be provided in accordance with the currently adopted Master 1 Park Plan (1974 Pkai Reference Map on pige 37) and as modified for conformance to the development guide. 2) Park Planning Policy I { ! -7 j Make ample use of the Hickory Creek Floodplain j h *Use as Natural Areas; *Use for Community Park Location; *Provide Public Golf Course.

Mafia Ftoodplains/Open Space Corridors major floodplains are part of a natural drainage system. It is the i intent of ibis policy guide that only limited portions of the floodpian be utilized for urban development, and the floodplains should basically be maintained as natural drainage ways and open space corridors. Such drainage techniques as levees, cutoff channels and detention ponds should be encouraged over extensive fill and major charnielization. b,iculturol Lands Prime agricultural lands close by the urban centers may be an j increasing necessity in the face of the currently worsening energy shortage. In addition, agricultural lands in close proximity and as part of our urban setting are needed to mOntain our small-town western heritage. Therefore the following policies are ~ recommended: ` 1) Major prime agricultural lands in our study area should be encouraged to remain to such use. Some ways to accomplish this are: 1 a. Encourage our legislators to change the tax laws such that strong ecoltomic gain can be realized by maintaining one's land in agricultural use. b. Consider the locat;on of such land in infra- structure and community f aillity planning, 2) rest Packet Farms Encourage private and public small, one lot or bigger, garden/farming throughout the City. i :i PAGE 3B _ II T_ 0) + rya _J IN j U 1w_ h~ ~111~7 rtJ.

UTILITIES (sEwER ,WATER,ELEcTRicrf,A" sown wAsn) The purpose of this section is to outline development policies that can be used as a guide for the more detailed master utility planning (which is beyond the scope of this report). 1. CURRENT PLANNING 0-10 Year Planning - In review of current development proposals, capacity 1 should be available to accommodate the current proposed development and ` also provide enough reserve for additional development on the vacant land in the immediate study area. Such minimum reserve allocation density is i three units per acre and/or area zoning density. L MID RANGE PLANNING 10-20 Year Planning - Pla zing for our twenty year planning should accommodate growth of 1uu 000 people and provide a balanced f i Infra-structure sytem to serve the density locations as presented to this 4 development guide. { 8. LONG RANGE PLANNING Long Range Utility Planning should recognize the Concept Plan's density Policy in order that the next generation does not have to bear the cost of 1 correcting under-planned f aeRities. in addition, tong range utility planning should also be ba.4ed upon a thorough study of both economic needs for J continued growth and the ecological impact of expanding current basic utilities capacity. The citizenry should be educated concerning the results of such studies prior to a decision to incroase capacity of basic utility facilities. f PACE 38 ell r k ~a ~t F~ E. TRANSPORTATION 1. 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 ma/or purpose of a long range land use transportation plan Is to insure that today's incremental dectsiwa not only respond to today's needs but also contribute f towards the long range Land Use/Transportation plan for Me city. For example, if we feel high intensity development Is desirable at a particular { I location to the distant future, we would not want to out off a major transportation route today that will be needed in the future for that area. It is the Intent of this guide that Denton's transportation system should i react to the community's plan and not have transportation be reactive to i unplanned growth. Therefore, the following transportation policies are structured in a two-tiered policy to accomplish this goal. a. Tomorrow's Need; The Plan *Long Range high Intensity areas. provided with transportation lifelines. b. Today's Needs: *Capacity Today; *Individualized site design and transportation needs; Y~ ''Today's decisions supportive of Lcng Range Plan, i i i PACF 39 r I S•!i>Jl i 2! TRANWORTATION PLAN CONCEPT This plan suggests a land use policy that is a modified corridor concept. That is, major intensity land use in three major nodes generally following the Interstate 35 corridor. The overall basic transportation policy is to continua: the emphasis of improving transportation capacity in this corridor as a continuing priority for the city. This includes auto, bike, scooter, pedestrian, and local and regional mass transit. 3. MAJOR THOROUGHFARE LONG} RANGE PLAN l The thoroughfare long-range plan is shown on the map on page 48 This { plan represents the long-range fra.rtework for today's incremental J decisions that are discussed in the next section. 1 1 Thy major street plan shows a road network for, i i a. Majoh Arterial (Primary) These steels transverse the city usually are streets with 80 to 120 feet right-of-ways and a landscaped boulevard and parkway I are desirble, if economically feasible, including maintenance i cost, b. Major Arterial (Secondary) These streets connect major sections of tows and usually have a I right-of-way of 60 to 80 feet. I t_ PACk 40 r r i ' ti s c. Collector Streets These are not shown on the following major steet map but are specified in a separate map that is updated yearly by the Planning and Zoning and mcd(f ied as needed by subdivision review of detailed site design. Collector street design should include consideration for all modes of individual transportation. These detailed collector street planning are subject to the following policy criteria. 1) At least one collector street per area between arterials to collect neighborhood traffic to the major arterials. i 2) Collector street (or larger) required for higher intensity land uses such as apartments, industrial areas, and commercial areas. 3) As intensity increases, the number of collectors required increases. ell Collector streets should not be allowed to be incrementally { linked-up until a major arterial is created, This procedure is the 11 same as setting policy to change land use Intensity. If such a land use Intensity change is desirable, this plan should first be changed to so indicate the activity center prior to designating a new arterial on the thoroughfare plan, , b) PACE 4Z l u, r? Elk7 Et i I r i 4. CURRENT THOROUGHFARE PLANNING POLICIES ~ a. Street Capacit it is the policy of this guide that all new developments be required to provide adequate current street capacity serving their development's immediate area and adequate current capacity of the nearest major artery serving the development. Capacity criteria for this policy is defined as follows: Full Street capacity is engineeringly defined as the level of service at the current traffic volume at the intersection of University Drive and' Carroll Boulevard. The Carroll/ University capacity is to be portionally adjusted to lesser s+ street standards. Exceptions to this policy would be if the City has the opportunity to j get a major industry in an area of town where the streets are reaching capacity. In this case, the City will consider mitigation measures such as public expenditures for additional streets or mass transit or a determination to allow the increased traffic congestions. j b. Land Use Inter sity/Transportation Balance C { f 1) Purpose and Intent I f The second determinate of Land Use/Transportation capacity is ' the overall area Intensity balance. The Long Range Concept Plan is based on a transportation land use intensity balance based on the following criteria as shown on the accompanying map on page 45 entitled "Transportation Land Use Balance". This! balance is based on a trip generation factor allocated to all PACE 42 4 r r1 10 f~ f acreage within the City, MOded between high, medium and low intensity areas. Nigh intensity areas have no maximum limits. Guidelines for medium Intensity areas are 250 trips per day, per gross acre. Low intensity area guidaiines are 75 trips per day per acre. 2) Application of the Policy' The policy is applied as follnws: a. Determine Intensity: i. In a major center area, no long range calculations are I applied, however, short term capacity calculation as defined in the preceding policy would be required. It. In a moderate center area, the following procedure i would be followed: -I- Calculate the aproximate area in acreage from the concept plan map and adjust for extent of diversity. -2- Calculate the total area gips pLv day standard .y (total acreage X 250 tHpslday=total area standard). -3 Estimate existing land use in acreage and calculate trips generated. LJ f ` *Volume II Appendix provides a more detail of the methodology. k 4i+ PAGE 43 , i .w :d M 1 -4- Estimate vacant land in area and calculate minimum reserve allocated (minimum developent, right). The Reserve allocation is 40% of standard or 100 trips/ day X vacant land zoned for higher use than MF-I. {And 30 trips per day for lesser zoning.) -5- Estimate taialiocated transportation capacity of area by. Total trips per day capacity (Step 2). , Minus - Total trips per day used (Step 3) Minus - Total trips per day reserve (Step 4) Equal - Unallocated trips capacity, -6- Calculate trip generation of proposed development and compare results with Stsp 5, If toss than the - { balance (Step 5), then proposed development is within Long Range transportation policy guideline. F If more than the baianoe, the next levels of policy 1 options are. (I) to reduce development scale; (2) increase the center activity rating to a major center area: (3) back zone vacant higher use land, (4) differ consideration of back zoning until actual ` development exceeds 250 trips/day standard, (5) reduce minimum development right standard, (6) I !f~ raise moderate center standard, If a major development is proposed in a low intensity area, the same procedure, would be followed exceit, ; intensity standards would be: Total area standard is 75 trips per day pe- gross arses. (Step 2) * Minimum reserved allocated for all lands is 30 trips per day per gross acres. (Corresponds to minimum development right of 3.0 units per acre.)

MASS TRANSIT This plan by policy recognizes an increasingly important need for mass transit. Any large con~!,gntrations of development will, at some time, require mass transit if the Iann .qe transportation 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 toy a tong range plan for inter-regional mass transit networks for the future.

PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE since we spend more time in the walking transportation mode than any other, it is the intent of this policy that planning for this need be an Increasing priority in our transportation planning. Specifically, the following is recommended: a. Long Range Plan i There should be a city-wido or at least sector-wide pedestrian and bicycle-scooter transportation plan developed. b. Today's Need Regardless of the above general plan, we should concentrate on the following in our current planning: 1) Require sidewalks and bike-scooter paths on collector streets I in all new subdivisions and starting a city program for all older subdivisions. Y 1 2) Consider changing development ordinances to require I ` ( pedestrian and bike-scooter ways In all large commercial f parking lots. 3) Encourage all commercial centers to have at least one safe access that is totally pedestrian, 4) As part of the implementation of the above Long Range Plan, consider limiting parking on one side of designated streets for bicycle/scooter ways. For equity, this land would be rotated to the other side every few years. PAGE 4S\ r S; i.` is 1 1 r ~ F. INDIVIDUALIZED POLICIES 1. BY DEVELOPMENT AREA CHARACTERISTIC a, Older net borhoods I An underlying policy of this guide is the increased protection of older neighborhoods. Many interrelated policies speak to this objective, particularly a specific section on housing, should be referenced, Also, the Community Unit Concept in Volume 11 Appendix with the development of neighborhood and village councils should be noted. K- j ° b. Existing Neighborhoods and Developed Areas As a policy of this guide, areas already developed have priority in terms of. t p! 1 I * zoning and sub-division protection * C1P, C,D.&G. and other infra-structured and community facilities project planning. re Specific policy in terms of protection of existing single family housing is found on numerous pages throughout this guide, LJ 1 i c. Let out Lots or Hard to Develop Lots 40 It is the intent of this guide to be flexible to unique situations such L as left out lots. However, neither this guide, nor the City, guarantees development of all lands in the City to the highest use desired by the owner, but it does pledge to work with Individualized situations keeping in mind baste guide constraints of, i PACE 50 I s sa J 1) Protecting existing adjacent housing areas, particularly older housing, i 2) Maintaining the overall neighborhood density/intensity standards. ,y One solution to such lots Is for neighborhood associations to f~- ! explore apparent ways to secure temporarily an I ~ d/or ac quire use of these lots for meeting neighborhood and village recreattonal, ,y park, greenlopen space and agricultural needs, r,~ i Z SPECIFIC AREA POLICIES I i 1 a, Future Apartment Zonittg North of Oak Street ' i fE € Limited conditions allow new zoning in neighborhoods for medium f density housing only and In all cases require strict site design 06 w requirements. (Also sf- related policies in housing section under spot apartment zoning and overall neighborhood density/intensity.) Protection of existing adjacent housing and overall area I density/intensity should be carefuly considered before permitting F additional medium density housing. :r ;t 1 b. Land Use Bordering the N T S U Campus s is The N.T.S.U. master plan indicates Its north boundary to be on West Hickory and its east boundary on Bernard, On the perimeter of these boundaries, there is great pressure for some university related E commercial and apartment uses. These land use pressures have been allowed to develop In areas that were previously developed for single family use. It is the policy of this guide to allow continuation of this typo of development but only under detail site plan review requirements which should Include neighborhood Input. :,J r i PAGE 51 y c. N.T.S.U.and T.W.U. Transportation Planning The L,U.P.C, wants to point out that N.T,S.U, and T.W.U, each have campus master plans involving among other things, detailed traffic planning in and around their respective campuses. These detailed plans are beyond the scope of this guide, except in regard to the total campus master plans as they may impact on city-wide development concepts of this guide. These aspects were considered by the L.U.P.C. as a whole, and the university representatives specifically, who insured they were in accord. It is specifically noted that the Long Range Major Thoroughfare Plan does not show an arterial thoroughfare through either campus, but indicates major arterials on the perimeter of the main campus cares. r I Traffic to the N.T.S.U. campus between areas north and south of the campus will primarily be carried via Bonnie Brae and Carroll, but it is recognized another intermediate north/south connection, probably in the Avenue E corridor, needs to be considered in the future, as j the N.T.S.U. campus plan is completed, i d. Hobson Lane, Teasley and West of I-35E Area It is the policy of this guide that the neighborhood density/intensity standard be closely monitored especially in confunction with commerical and concentrated high density pressures coming from the I-35E corridor. This plan does recognize limited commercial type developments adjacent to 1-35E, but specifies commercial use circulution be self-contained and not routed through the interior neighborhoods as this is a potential problem due to the one I i I J PAGE 52 i y nc: tit t, JV r . • e -Y - ~9' .~iz-/ .iH /wX di SKr , ~zf / /-t~~'~'i /.1~ 'n-rl, r• ll.

Also, the Teasley and Hobson Lane area is not to tow have either a major or moderate activity cimite'd but only neighborhood intensity (predominately single family, Y l services, small isolated apartments/ townhouses, etc.) I e. Carroll Boulevard I) Strip Commercial Policy Carroll Boulevard is intended to be a major north/south thoroughway and maintaining thoroughway traffic flow is of high I priority; therefore, strip commercial of Carroll is strongly f discouraged, However, selected modes such as the immediate r~ downtown area would be permitted. Other sections of Carroll E could support duplexes and small scale multi-family and office under very limited conditions; "site design to protect adjacent single family requiring u things as screening fences, large setbacks, landscaped front yards, sign control, etc. and ell ' "site design to insure good off-street circulation and parking f very limited curb cuts In order to minimize traffic disruption on Carroll. r j (input from adjacent neighborhoods prior to a decision, I 2) North Carron Boulevard Extension It is the policy recommendation of this plan that Carroll Avenue i be maintained and improved as one of the major north/south tv thoroughfares across the City. Part of this policy is to continue the 1079 thoroughfare plan policy that North Carroll should eventually tie Into Highway 77 in the most traffic efficient route that is economically and environmentally feasible. It is E I l PACE 53 .n...rr.r.r~r. I~ ~ 11 I I 1 recognized that determining the final detail alignment of fAts ,)nnection involves many complicated factors of traffic engineering, economic cost, and neighborhood-environmental protection. Therefore, 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. i y 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 commercial stripe. Examples of some actions: 1) Encourage a Fort Worth Drive and a Dallas Drive Business ' Association to develop overall plan for: i' *s(gns; *outside storage; i *building refurnishing; *off-street parking, j I 2) Based on such mutually developed plans, public action such as: *modify codes to accommodate unique, ind(vidualtzed I l or group proposals; j *utilize public funds to upgrade and beautify infra- structure; *increase code enforcement in order to protect invest- ment of public and private owners in upgrading effort. ~e II i i PACE. 54 f I r' - II 1 ell 1 g, East Denton This close-in older neighborhood offers many advantages for residential developmenmt. This fact is recognized by the recent past and continuing concentrated public expenditures in the area from C.I,P. and C.D.B,C, funds. In light of this commitment, specif is policies are emphasized for the area: 1 l) The policy to protect older neighborhoods is given special' emphasis in this area. 2) Industrial development adjacent to this neighborhood to the j 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 If ! It is the policy recommendation of this plan that Bell Avenue be maintained and improved as one of the major nnrth/south thoroughfares across the City. Part of this policy includes the eventual need to improve Bell Avenue between University Drive and Sherman Drive in the most traffic-efficient route that is economically and environmentally feasible. It is recognized that determining the final datall alignment and width of this connection ~j involves many complicated factors of traffic engineertng, economic cost, and neighborhood-environmental protection. Therefore, 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 such improvements. r PACE 55 G. LAND MANAGEMENT POLICIES 1. DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY AREAS a. Purpose and Intent --,1 It is the purpose of these policies to encourage development in areas of favorable natural features and where existing streets, utilities, schools, etc., have existing unused capacity. Conversely, In areas where there are intrusions of ecologically sensitive areas or where major infra-structure expenditures are required, It is the intent of this policy to encourage development In these areas only when deficiencies are corrected and to limit public funds In these corective measures. 13y this policy, it Is the goal that public funding of infrastructure be more efficiently used by the utilization of existing facilities first before I extensive funding on new facilities. In addition, it is intended to strongly consider mitigation measures before development in ecologically sensitive areas. Since this concept Is somewhat new and since Implementation may require extensive detail ordinance review, f this guide does not suggest a specific implementation policy but does recommend Its consideration in continuing studies and works of the PI wing and Zoning, City Council and other future study committees, JJ, I Some discussion guidelines for this concept are presented in Volume 11 Appendix. i~ r s z PACE 5B i 5 4 ~ iI M 2. HOUSING COST AND CITY REGULATIONS Current trends to development standards have increasingly added requirements to encourage higher quality housing but in so doing have raised the cost of housing by distributing these costs to the developer and in turn new homeowners. The conclusion of this guide suggests DentoWs current quality and cost distribution is just about right, but could passtbly be loosened a little i so long as it does not get to extensive. The major objectivt~ is for E moderate housing growth. Selective assistance should be provided to certain areas to encourage a i j limited amount of additional moderate income housing. i ' Some examples are; i 3 1) Reduce standards that are purely for aesthetics, ~ttc., but not ~ t any that will cause future increases in maintenance cost. One example is Co allow, to limited areas, streets without curb and gutter, where drainage is no problem. 2) Allowing more flexibility in house sitting on lot, by requiring only a maximum percent converage and front yard requirement and fire separation. 3) Provide more flexible lot width and depth requirements as long as the minimum lot area is maintained, fr~ l E E PACE 57 r Ia 4) Explore housing development concepts used in other counties or in other parts of our country such as row or semi-detached houses sharing a large recreational and green space, S. CONMVA17ON a. Energy Energy conservation in land use planning is a basic policy of this guide, Many policies such as balanced growth of activity centers, housing diversity, housing close to employment and retail services, multi-modal transportation, etc,, all in part were recommended because of energy consideration. In addition, other specific detail implementation methods should be developed. The following are two examples:. ` i ?l 1) All housing, building, zoning codes, and other pertinent ordinances should be reviewed and revised to be more J congruent with energy conservation and efficiency. 2) Masses of concrete in ..parking lots, etc., cause energy safety, avid aesthetic problems. Ordinances should be developed which will reduce these problems in all future developments. b. Natural Resources a Promoting conservation of all our natural resources should also be apart of planning for the future of Denton. Policies should be developed which Al encourage such conservation, especially of water, electricity, and natural gas. i PAGE be I i . 0 c. AgrtcGlturRl Lands, Open Spaces, and Greenbelts To maintain a balanced, healthy community that Is self-sustaining, the conservation of our agricultural land, open spaces, and greenbelts is Important. Tax incentive, coordination and i i cooperation with other gover,imehtai units, and involvement of the private sector are all essential to accomplish this goal. Studies to i better understand the needs of a city in each of these areas and the i f cost-benefit ratios are needed, R { Also, establishment of cooperative relationships in the governing I bodies of the county, state, and nearby communities should begin as soon as possible so that future growth avoids major conflicts and provides for balance between economic, public, health, basic life support, and eco-system needs of the entire area, Specifically, joint policies are needed to provide agricultural land, greenbelts etc,, all around Denton and neighboring towns in order to preclude Q i a solid urban strip from Waco on the South, to Oklahoma City on the North. r ca # i 4. URBAN DESIGN Many policies of this guide promote an Increase of and awareness of better urban design as a policy for Denton, The inclusion of this policy LJ section is intended to specifically emphasize and consolidate this t' concept as a policy and also specifically recommend zoning, subdivision and other city ordtances be changed towards a unified j 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. PAGE 59 , f 1 i 1 V 5. CITIZEN INPUT INTO LAND USE DECISIONS The Planning and Zoning Commission, City Council, Land Use Planning Committee, and citizens who responded to the Concept Plan emphasized the need for a means of providing on-going neighborhood 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 of this guide recognizes there are future questions which remain ` unanswered or issues which need additional study to provide a E framework for responsible land use decisions (for examplo, a more s detailed multi-mode integrated transportation plan,) Those procedures emphasize citizen input by self-seleoted cross-sectional type i 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 ' y problems of } all parts of the City and not just on one specialized interest. i In addition to such future formal city-wide study committees, it is also recognized that continuing local neighborhood self-help associations fff are important for the continued maintenance of viable neighborhoods, However, individual neighborhood problems are many times LJ intertwined with adjacent neighborhoods and city as a whole. Therefore, the community unit concept (Volume It Appendix) suggests as one of its basic ingredients the need to bind together diverse f { sections of the community to share in common facilities and mutul problems. As a step towards such concepts and at the some time address immediate local neighborhood needs, the following process is presented for neighborhood groups considerations i PACE BD E i kt 1 .1 H A a, Neighborhoods define themselves and establish neighborhood associattons; b. Neighhoods cluster themselves Into communities or villages and establish a council made up of representatives of the neighborhood groups. On a continuing basis, these councils could address such things as, s 1) Protection and maintenance of individual and community e► property, I ~ 2) Crime and fire prevention; i l 3) Assess needs for and plan for basic life-support services within or adjacent to each neighborhood or community a~ unit (i,e, food, health, facilities schools, child care centers, housing diversity and density, etc,); 4) Assess needs for recreat(onal, open space, agricultural, and park facilities; 5) Cooperative methods of conserving energy such as garden or food co-ops, car or v= pooling, talent pools, j etc.; B) Multi-mode transportation needs and facilities. (A (This is not an exhaustive list of the fundtions of these groups.) I These neighborhood or community groups would serve a need for local area self-improvement as well as provide a means for ensuring dialogue between neighborhoods or community units with city decision making and to addition, provide a vehicle to representative selection to future city cross-soctionat study committees. J av i PAGE B1 ci } f 1 h 6. PUBLIC EDUCATION Because the committee supports the basic philosophy adopted by the f7 City Council in calling for this study, i.e., study of the issues and input by informed citizens into land use decisions is important, it is recommended that support for continued study and education of the public is reflected in budget and policy decisions by the City Council. I 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 1 to gather the data necessary to make decisions congruent with the basic goals of this study. Also, education of the citizenry is important so that decsions they make on public issues are informed decisions, with knowledge of their long range impact on the life-styles they have become accustomed 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, and League of Women Voters, noighborhood or village councils, and local media. w I l I PAGE 62 a _10 I 7 ~ Ij lop Ii { a I 3 t I N S T R U C I O N S DQ NOT FILM THIS SHEET HEAD THIS FILMS l3, ~q 7~ iii AGENDA CITY OF DENTON CITY COUNCIL JUNE 13, 1978 Regular Meeting of the City of Denton City Council, Tuesday, June 13, 1978 at 3{ 7:00 p.m, in the Council Chambers of the Municipal Building. 1, Consider the minutes of the Regular Meeting of May 16; the Special Called Meeting of May 17; the Special Called Joint Meeting with the Denton County Commissioners' Court of May 17; the Special Called Joint Meeting with the Public Utilities Board of May 17; the Emergency Called Joint Meeting with the Denton County Commissioners' Court of May 19; the Special Called Joint Meeting with the Denton County Commissioners' Court of May 22; the Special ' Called Meeting of May 22; the Special Called Meeting of May 23; the Special Called Joint Meetin,l with the Denton County Conxnissioner's Court of May 30. 2.

CITY of DENTON, TEXAS MUNICIPAL tsdILDING / DENTON, TEXAS 76201 / TELEPHONE (817) 382.9601 MEMORANDUM j TO: Jack Owen FROM: Rick Svehla DATE:: June 70 1978 j RE: Bids on the Sidewalk Construction k' At the bid opening yesterday, we received two (2) bids, The bid of Mike Vinson Construction Company was $2b8,785.00 and the bid of Ed Bell Construction Company was $247,592.50. Both of these are considerably over the Engineoring Department's estimate of $180,000.00 (including engineering and inspection). The City Council has three (3) options to consider at this points 1. Reject all yids and bid again, h f 2. Accept the low bid from Ed Bell Construction and make up the surplus from some other source of funding. I 3. Accept the unit bid prices, negotiate with the low bidders, and re- duce the amount of sidewalks to be built, I ~ The Engineering Department would recommend option #1. We would recommend re- bidding with a longer time period for construction of the pra,iect. The time f lost by this delay and longer construction period should be offset by a sub- stantially lower bid. The longer construction period should be influential in etting local bids. If local bids are received, we believe our estimate of 12.00/sq. yd, of sidewalk will be realized rather than the current bid price of $17.75/sq. yd. jdr r t DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT n i r , Memorandum June 20, 1978 TO: City Council FROM: Grant Administrator, Randy Casstevens RE: Acquisition of Easements for Community Development Block Grant funded drainage improvements i 1 One of the projects funded by our current Community Development Block Grant is the channelization of a fork of Pecan Creek from Bradshaw Street to the main channel.

We need at least 18 acres for drying I beds for the present addition and future addtions for the next. 15-20 years. in a+ldition we need 30 to 40 acres for land application of sludge. The land to the wast of the plant, approx. 40 acres, is composed of 20 acres of land that could be utilized for drying beds and sludge application but the westerly 20 acres of that tract consists of many rocks which would limit 3 its use for applying sludge to the land. It is believed the cost of this land would be a little more per acre than the property to the south. If we purchased the property to the west vie would probably still need to purchase additional a to the south for future expansions. The property owner to the west has ! bSen a very good neighbor and has expressed willingness to sell the property I to tho city if the City would prefer to buy the land but has expressed that they have agricultui.al plans for the property if the City decides to purchase to j the south. The land to the south and southeast approx. 98 acres, is better suited for S expansion of the drying beds and all but approx. 8 acres of low lands would bL ! satisfactory for land application of sludge. The land to the 'south can be 1 purchased for $2500 per acre for the entire 98 acre tract, $24500000 or $2205 per acre for 68 acres, $7.50,000, with rights of first refusal on the remaining 30 acres. Considur.ing our present and future land requiremonts, the relative price of land and the funds available, the Public Utility hoard recommended the purchase of the 68 acres from Tony Scalise and Associates at a total price of $150,000 ($2205 per acre) with rights of first. refusal on the remaining 30 acres of the tract. The appraised value of the land was $1800 - $2000 pa:: arse, A copy of the appraisal is attached. A map showing the suajeet lane] is also attached. 51spoctfully, R, F. Nelso P.

After considr.ri.ntl all. available pertinont data and fact'l influencing the fair markot value of tho subject property the fair market value range ostimato of tho approximately 30 acre tract has a fair markot value range: of $46,000 to $60,000; for the approximately 68 acre tract it is $122,000 to $130,000.
