City of Denton Draft MISSION Statement
Denton will be ready for the 211' century. Our city will soon be home to more than
IDO,000 people, and we are committed to maintain our identity as an attractive and
distinct city. Quality, diversity, and opportunity are the keys to future success. People
with all kinds of different backgrounds are welcome to Denton, where they will continue
to find a place that offers jobs, reasonably priced housing, and good schools and parks.
Homes of all sizes and shapes offer a choice of lifestyles, a true expression of our
strength in diversity. Neighborhood centers will contain small shops and stores that are
designed to 'fit in` with surrounding homes. You will be able to choose to walk, ride a
bike, use the transit system, or drive to and from many destinations throughout the
city. Local businesses and employers will prosper, catering to customers' needs and
promoting Denton's image at the some time. There must be a place in the city for all
types of development necessary for a healthy, vibrant market. We want to preserve
the positive qualities of our city while growth o,:curs, a goal that we know requires
foresight and preparation.
The Downtown is and shall always be the heart of Denton; the Square will be used every
day and night as o gathering place for civic events, entertainment, and commerce.
Increasing numbers of downtown residents will improve the energy level of the
downtown, and the renovated Civic Center Park will draw new visitors from throughout
the region. Yet the scale of the downtown will remain the same, human and comfortable,
and examples of the city's history will continue to remind our citizens of their heritage.
The downtown is pedestrion-friendly now, a quality that will not change,
• Denton cannot and will not grow properly without its university partnerships. The
University of North Texas will flourish, and improve its visibility as a city landmark,
prominently displayed to visitors passing through the city, The Fry Street Area. and
Oak-Hickory Historic District will continue to serve as important links between the
Downtown and UNT as well. The Texas Woman's University will also be a source of
• pride, and will be even more strongly connected to the Downtown as a result of the Civic • o
Center Park renovations. The UNT - Downtown - TWU corridor will achieve its full
C pote-nriol as a dynamic and lively area, essential to the well being of the city.

G'rya/Denlo.~LYn/J.HISSIONStarsnwr (pnysl) '
Public facilities and services are extremely well coordinated, with constant efforts {
geared toward improvement. Schools, roads, and utilities must be planned properly, and
the city, county, and school district will have to work together better than ever before.
Residents will be confident that their taxes we devoted to quality and efficiency.
We will maintain our commitment to education, culture, recreation, and entertainment to
the benefit of everyone in Denton. We haven't changed our intent to enrich the lives of
our citizenry, regardless of age, income, or race. We will look to our schools and
universities, our government, our civic groups, and our businesses to enhance our lives.
We know that these resources contribute for more than a physical presence.
We need nature as much in the city as in the countryside. Our land, air, and water
resources support our built environment, and will be even more precious as we grow.
Resource protection will be embraced to enhance our lives and avoid the costs of
thoughtlessness. Lake Ray Roberts and the Elm Fork Nature Conservatory will be
proven to be resources of incredible value, well worth the initial investment as their
benefits become fully realized. Floodplains and creeks will emerge as greenway
:or. idors that serve many needs such as flood protection, recreation, tree preservation,
and habitat support. Environmental planning must take its rightful place as an essential
part of Denton's strategy to grow wisely.
The entire world will always be within easy grasp of Denton. We are regional partners
with a major metropolitan area that has much to offer. Global transport is within
convenient distance. The ability to choose a certain level of interaction - be it the city,
the metroplex, or the world - is an element that has been and will continue to be used
successfully to market Denton as a progressive city with a 'home town' atmosphere.
These aspects of Denton's uniqueness must not be forgotten as we develop partnerships
in the future.
i
We can and will achieve what we want - growth that enhances the qualities that Crake
Denton attractive. We will pass to our children a dynamic, interesting, and healthy city.
Denton will prepare for growth and prosper by taking Into account all community
• interests. Our values and heritage are important to us. We like Denton now, but we •
know improvements can be made. Growth will cause change, but the essential
ingredients that make Denton unique today need to rerrain the same tomorrow. {

DRAFT GROWTH MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
INTRODUCTION
Growth wig airfare to occur in Denton, and the rate cf qwA may eccelerate in the near future. Proactive
punning is considered the proferabte approach, deft ing the Wes' by winch growth wrW benefit fine most people.
Proactive planrang requires preparation and an upfront 6tveslment of resouroes h anticipation of growth. Public
invohvemerd is crPtical to plan success. Prevention of adverse impacts is a key eleaeerd In sudr a strategy. The
less preferaW elfemWM Is to react to growth and is kmpacfs as they happen. Preparation is not necessary.
Consumer demand drives the bcatm and type of new development, and govemrreental services end M as
systems are designed b response to growth trends. PWY*V for clyy sen4ces becomes an educated guessing
game. Responses to adverse knpects are Wk* ffav expensive to fix than to PMK%-? - Proactive planning is a
'step ahead' of growth,' reactions to growth are atways a 'step behind.' The growth management strategy
contains policies that keep Denton a `step ahead' Al other policies In The Denton Plan mw d adhere to the
Growth Management Strategy.
C 1. Essential services provided by govermient must be maintained at the highest levels of quafrty possible. City
services intended to protect and preserve public health and safety must be provided to all existing and firhrre
Denton stakeholders.
2. The growth management strategy should support the coordination of public services with private
development. Development pattems that make the most of tent use of public services and infrastructure
should be prorated. The he impact of pdMe developmenl should be aw ately identified and assessed in
proportion to public casts and benefits.
3. The community should establish devebpmestl r*s that are dearly stated, administered etfiaenty, and
enforced consistently. H devekoprnenl Is proposed that does not satisfy the rules, it should not be allowed.
4. The city needs to make use of ecorarnic Incentives, Iafrastnxdure and Investment to coordinate and
encourage developmenl cvaslent with its vision. The use of these tools Is M WW A when public
benefits can be clearly defined and measured.
5. Lard uses should be balanced to maintain a diverse em my and a weE-proportioned tax base. The city ra]
provide opportunities for the development o( a fait array of land uses within the city.
• • a
6. Areas of the city susceptible to envirorxnental damage, or where infrastructure systems are stressed, or
where development would contradict city planning objectives should be identified and pmWed.

VIII. DRAFT NEIGHBORHOODS POLICIES
Neighbort Ws can be dolled In many ways, but for the purposes of Cre Denton Pfau, they are viewed as
dusfers of residential davebpmem that share a variety of kncfionat and social ties. NeWbodwds form the
backbone of Demon's cibzwvy, these areas are where people Care. Neo'-b hoods are expected to be safe and
secure, places of quatdy where ferrAes lyre and d*Wn go to school and play.
Nolghborhoods face chabrges as well. Low income and minority neighborhoods need mteDebon assistance.
Other neighborhoods feet overwhebned by irefic congestion and devebpment M outstrips our ab ft to provide
schools end othher services. An increasing body of knowiedgo k6cafes that neighborhood subdivisions eonbhbute
to sprawl causing city lnfiastrvctwe systems to be stressed and undenrtrfzed. When services are k*f cwzty
provided, fax dAn are not spent wisely. A recent series of netional debefes has also focused on the
relationship between neighborhood design and quaky of Me. Arrant zWV trends tend to separate lend uses
fw each o(her, kw"sbV the need fo travel and promoting sodat zolabon for the foss rn bb members of the
conant pr:r wtj the young and the eldery. Subdivision precives have been tbrrhd to cor tde to kwassed
vehbe use, vefhkk speeds, and tt umgMare haft congestion. These issues need to be discussed as Demon's
hAn is piarvned.
f. At *hbmtx)ods shall be served by adequate hh*udure and shall have adequate access to public and

2. Land use policies ft encourage a Med of uses should be Inves5gated lo reduce Cho weed to leave the

IX. DRAFT HOUSING POLICIES
'HousJrg' has ditmr;4 meanxg fo dif'vrent people. Some people envision a farm with acreage, wt& carers
think of an apartmeV on the 40M. Hans ownership corfrrnues to be an important element of the American
Dream, Housing constnx tan costs have made this goat much more MO to adriev+e, and growth intens&s the
competition end demand kx existing homes Hanes that are simrTar to eech other tend to be concentrated in one
area, a phen rnenon that creates neighborhoods based on moon. Devebpmenf and lending practices ere
marketddven, and new housing canstnxctbn for hares priced under $100,000 is a we occurrence. Yet
apartments and manufactured homes arc not tolereted as ecceptebfe housing elarr* s in manyduations
t. AllemaM types of housing that respond to the d&ftng ecoramlc and individual Yfastytes of Denton's
citizens should be developed to al areas of the city to acA" balance and drrersiq. All people who worts
in Denton shmid be able b Ave in Denton.
2. Homes that vary in lot size, buVT g size, and cost should be allowed in the same neighborhood.
I Existing housing stock, particulartll for homes priced under 5100,000 should be protected and preserved
to avoid the loss of d"%V units that are typically not replaced.
4. Incentives should be investigated to efxourago trill housing construction, espedally in conjunction with
low income and m'Kanity neighborhood revitalization plans.
5. Design and construction quality expectations should not be Waxed In order to meet abrdabte housing
objectives.
6. Cdy review and inspection fees should be reviewed lo determine a changes could be made b ease
afford" home construction costs. Such an exarrrnabon should be undertaken orgy f benefits are
passed on b homebuyers.
7, The need to provide a sufficient amount of land lo aooornnrodate housing demand should be batanced by
the desire lo maintain om-$NW urban patterns.
8, The range of housing types available for the speciaized needs of the eldefty, disabled, low Income,
students, single-person, or female-headed households should be a**wiedged as part d a strategy lo

XII. DRAFT URBAN DESIGN POLICIES
The city - buildings, roadways, and landscape - is the physical manifestation of its people, they values, and the
oommuWs character. What is buR and how d is built it is on display for everyone to we. RoWents and visitors
form thew own impressions of Denton's image and identity based upon uidrvfdual experiences. As a convnunity,
aA shareholders influence the city's urban design quafRies. Urban character is influenced by Ovisands of
individual investment decisions made on a d* basis by homeowners, developers, business rums, institutions,
and public agencies, Many other crifies have experienced soiifwc t ecoranuc benefits when urban design issues
are properly addre-qW
'Urban Design' is form used to defm how a cornet r4 manages its phy*al and visual character. Property
developed urban design pokies roved to aclmowfedge eww* realties and functional necessities. Ddrererd
areas in the city serm different purposes, so districtorierded urban design strategies are appropriate, Practical
and reasonable expectations require that urban design efforts be concerdrefed on the 'pubic em%norunent', a term
that refers to areas that are either physk* accessilSe or visually pmn**M to memhars of the general pubic.
We seek to maximize both pubfrc and prtvafe benefits by improving visual quafdy and perceptions of our image.
1. Visual quaRy objectives and a healthy business crenate should not be considered mutually exclusive. Any
urban design strategies adopted in Denton should demon.,trate strong consideration of private property
impacts. Urban design coric" should be incorporated into private development plans early inb the review
process, Attention shoud be paid to design principles that in many cases do not Increase project costs.
2. The impact of public apfxxbenarrces such as signage, electric km. valve boxes, streets, axbs and gutters,
sidewalks, WlSiings, pw" lots, and parks should be recognized as trrrpMwt factors in affec>
conwnuniry appearance. City govemmerd -Am exert a leadership role In followig the principles of good urban
.
3. The Ws urban design strategies should be guided by the principle that the spaces between buldirgs are
just as important as the bcnldwgs thernsefves. The form of pubic spaces strokold support the'v intended
functions, and their visual quafties should communicate the values we feel are lawrtard.
4. Concern for community appearance should be addressed in a oamprehensive marner. Such an approach
provides Ore opporturd!y b integrate urban design objectives wM of w planning mechanisms, suck as
zoning, subdivision regulations, historic preservation, ecarwic development, and environmental protection.
•
5. Architectural diversity and creativity, should be encouraged to avoid homogeneity and stenTity. Contras!
and variety oonbbule strongly to visual Interest and viewer perceptions of quality. if aesthetic standards
are implemented by city government, strong attention should be paid to avoid regulations that promote
sameness and stifle individuality.
• 6. Urban design principles should be emphasized In neighborhood revitalizzation plans, and residents should •
help to detemrine social and cultural values that are reflected vsuaRy. Infilf development should be
evaluated carefu!!y in promote compabbklity with existing strictures. New de*loprrwl can provide
contrast yet complement older structures.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: R. E. Nclson, Executive Director of Utiliti
DATE: October 24, 1997
SUBJECT: PROCESS CONSIDERATIONS AND SCHEDULES FOR
ENACTING IMPACT FEES
Council members requested during the last Denton Plan briefing that staff prepare a dra
schedule for enacting impact fees. The process of developing impact fees is complicated,
and many policy related decisions must be made as part of this process. The attached
briefing document summarizes the decisions that must be made and offers two alternative
schedules for enacting fees that are based upon different choices being made for these
key decision points. Staff will explain these alternatives at the briefing.
The City Attorney's Office is still reviewing the issues raised in this document, and thus,
additions to this document may be made at the briefing.

Local examples of projects that could be funded:
• Detention basins on Hickory Creek and possibly
Cooper Creek
• New water treatment plant
• Wastewater treatment plant expansion
• Collector or larger roadways within the City limits
■ Restrictions on the use of impact fees for
roadways include allowing fees to be collected
for only those projects that are within three
miles from the development.
■ Roadway impact fees must be calculated on a
project by project basis using a computerized
traffic model.
Examples of local projects that cannot be funded with
impact fees:
• Correction of inflow and infiltration problems in
existing wastewater collection system
• • Water storage tank for the middle pressure plane,
which covers the heart of the city
• Replacement channels along Pecan Creek
1 through the center of the City • •
• Storm water sampling and other

following key elements: f
• Develop and adopt land use assumptions, which
includes a description of the service area and
projections of changes in land uses, densities,
intensities, and population in the service area over
at least a ten year period.
• Prepare a CIP plan, including cost estimates of
infrastructure needs and proposed fees.

Key Decision Points
• Selection of the types of capital improvements to
be included in the impact fees
• Timing of the development of land use
assumptions. Two options exist:
1. Proceeding before the new comprehensive plan
is formulated would mean reliance on the '88
DDP and market projections of growth.
2. If guiding growth is desired, preparing the land
use assumptions must wait on completion of the 1
comprehensive plan.
Generating land use assumptions requires
policy choices, market forecasts validated
with statistical analyses, and a preferred
growth option with a geographical
representation of that option.
• Decision on whether the City will impose impact
• fees on the basis of full cost recovery or partial.
Examples: ,
1. Wastewater treatment plant expansion only or
also collection system upgrades.
• 2. Regional detention basins only or other channel, • •
bridge and pipe system improvements.

• Appointment of the Advisory Board- When should

Options include:
1. Use the P & Z and appoint ad hoc members as
required
2. Appoint at least a 5 member citizens board of
whom at least 40% must represent the
development community,
3. Appoint the current CIP Oversight Committee.
One duty of the Advisory Committee is to
oversee the implementation of the CIP plan
developed as part of the impact fee process. f
The answers to these key decision points affect the ,
length of time and cost of going through the impact i

Cost Considerations
• Hire a consultant to prepare the land use
assumptions and a 10-year CIP plan and calculate
the impact fees.
• Typical costs of these studies vary tremendously,
depending upon the decisions mentioned
previously. Examples:
1. Prepare land use assumptions but not a
comprehensive plan- $100,000- $150,000
2. Wastewater master plan- $100,000
3. CIP Planning for water and wastewater only
assuming that master plans are in place- $30,000
4. Three watershed management plans- $700,000
• The study cost that the City would pay is
dependent on the desired speed of the study, the
depth of data and analysis that the consultant must
do, and how much staff time will be diverted to the
• study.
• To provide more control and spread the costs out
over multiple budget years, use a two-part contract
with the consultants- first phase land use forecasts
and assumptions and second phase CIP planning.

Future, ongoing cost considerations include:
• Update studies every 3-5 years. Examples include:
1. Lewisville paid $60,000 for their last update in
1993
2. Coppell paid $144,000 in 1994.
3. Carrollton is paying $145,200 for the update for
their water impact fee and $30,000 for the update
for their wastewater fee.
• Under certain conditions, the City would have to
rebate impact fees that it has collected from a f
developer back to that developer. j

If it is desired to enact impact fees, staff
recommends:
• Follow the schedule shown in Scenario 2 so that
impact fees are based upon the new comprehensive
plan.
• Set up the consultant contract so that the work for
the Denton Plan can accommodate the impact fee
process.
• Stage the consultant's contract to spread the costs
r
over multiple budget years.
• Continue to pursue impact fees associated with
water and wastewater facilities but not roadways or
drainage. Continue to fund these activities using
existing funding sources or in the alternative,
reconsider the concept of a drainage utility.

development to fund or recoup the costs of capital
improvements necessitated by and attributable to the
new development.
Types of capital improvements that can be funded
in part by impact fees include:
• Water supply, treatment, and distribution
facilities
• Wastewater collection and treatment facilities
• Drainage facilities
• Roadway facilities

•
Local examples of projects that could be funded:
• Detention basins on Hickory Creek and possibly
Cooper Creek
• New water treatment plant
• Wastewater treatment plant expansion
• Collector or larger roadways within the City limits
■ Restrictions on the use of impact fees for
roadways include allowing fees to be collected
for only those projects that are within three
miles from the development.
Roadway impact fees must be calculated on a
project by project basis using a computerized
traffic model.
Examples of local projects that cannot be funded with
impact fees:
• Correction of inflow and infiltration problems in
existing wastewater collection system
• Water storage tank for the middle pressure plane,
' which covers the heart of the city
• Replacement channels along Pecan Creek
through the center of the City
• Storm water sampling and other • e
activities associated with the storm water

•
discharge permit that the City will have
to get in approximately 2001
• Maintenance of the existing drainage system
• Residential streets
• Roadways in our ETJ
The drainage related items listed above could be
funded through a drainage utility.
