I BACKGROUND: At a public hearing held January 50, 1999 before the City Council, two members of the community commented on the Grov4h Management Strategy. On December 150i, 1998, 11OK/Renee Jaynes presented the revised draft Growth Management Strategy to City Council. This same information was presented to Planning and Zoning Commission at a public hearing on December 160i, 1998. No community comment was offered. On NovemIr!r 17'1, 1998, the City Council held a public hearing that culminated the review process ter the draft Growth Management Strategy. This public hearing was held after a community workshop on November 140i, 1998. RUST1110K and Renee Jaynes were contracted by the City to produce the Growth Management Strategy and have since moved forward to revise this document to reflect the consensus on these issues In the community. The documents within this report reflect those few changes that were necess.ry. Staff believes the Council will find that the document predominantly clarifies and tightens up the Growth Management Strategy and Plan as well as uft'ering specific recomrnendation.o for implementation. The Growth Management Strategy (GMS) is intended to establish community objectives l regarding future land uses and development activity In the City, and; 0 The GMS will serve as the cornerstone of the City's Comprehensive Plan. • The GMS provides for a 20-year timerrame to forecast growth and determine how the community will re<pond to development pressures. • The GMS provides it forum for public discussion to allow citizens to discuss the impacts of significant growth anticipated for an extended period of time. e The GMS Is intended to be adopted by the City Council through a resolution, and may be altered as the Comprehensive Plan process unfolds in early 1999. The GMS contains the following information, maps, and options for the City's growth management: A 4 Population by Sub•Ales Map a Growth Management Strategy Plan • Growth Management Assumptions Growth Management Strategy Conclusions I C M, pn.u K0!i1Nc"rurlwnu/'~l:MS/US/t CI11, 11 CI ,M, Mn PAGE I I a x • Specific Aspects of the Growth Management Strategy Plan ♦ Growth Management Strategy Implicedons 0 Growth Management Strategy Recommendations The GMS conclusions include how the City ill manage growth, such as: • QUALITY of growth will be strongly managed. • QUANTITY of growth will be managed through Adequate Public Facilities requirements and proactive planned extens!ons of services. 0 LOCATION of growth will be strongly managed as indicated on the Growth Management Strategy Plan. 0 TIMING of development will be strongly managed and the City will consider equita'ole incentives to stimulate growth in predetermined sectors of the City that tie a long-standing commitment to the City. OPTIONS, Options available to the City for Grovrih Management are attached to this report as Exhibits A, B. C, and D.

PAGE 6 C Growth Management Plan Documents Exhibit S Growth Management Man Based upo.t the pixferences expressed by the citizens of Denton at community meetings and of the community workshop held to present the Draft Growth Management Plan, the following Growth Management Plan is presented as o preferred alternative for future growth in Denton. The plan combines many of the concepts from the alternative development scenarios that received favorable responses at the community meetings, Including the development of "neighborhood centers", 'urban centers`, and o strong Industrial district within the City, while encouraging the restoration, redevelopment and Infill of parcels in the downtown area and adjacent to tho University of North Texas, and Texas Woman's University. 8asic Assumptions The following are the basic assumptions of the Growth Management Plan, 1. The Planning Horizon is for the year 2020. 2. The estimated population in the year 2020 will be 213,000. 3. The City intends to accommodate the additional population that the market dictates. 4. The mix of Residential, and Commercial land uses will be approximately the some as currently exists; Industrial land uses will be Higher, and InstlMlonol uses will be lower. 5. Within Residential Land Uses, the percentage of Muhi•Famlly to Single Family uses will be lest than exists today. 6. The Zoning Mix in 2020 may or may not be the some at currently exists. 7. Denton will continue to encourage a range in housing types and densities in order to respond to the needs and desires of its' residents. 8. Average residential densities will be the some as exist today. 9. There will continue to be an average of 2.8 people per SF residential unit and 1.8 people per multl•famay unit. 10. The eft citywide, Single Family lot site will continue to be 10,000 SF, which corresponds to a density of 3 units per acre. The Single Family residential density in Neighborhood Centers will average 4 units per acre. 11, The overage density for Multi Family development will continue to be 14 units per acre, which corresponds to existing development potterns.t 12. The minimum lot size for SF Low Density development will be 2 acres, or more M required to support a septic system. 13. Based upon the anticipated quantities and locations of future population, and the city's existing land use mix, the city will need to accommodate approximately 15,000 additional acres of single family development, and 1200 additional acres of Muhl-Family development. 14. Based upon the additional residential development and the existing land use mix, the City will need to accommodate approximately 3000 acres of Industrial development, 3200 acres of commercial development, and 2700 acres of institutional development. r' 15.

PACE9 Community Workshop GMS Conclusions The following Is the general GMS consensus reached at the Community Workshop on November 14, 1998; Quality Quality of growth will be strongly managed. Quantity Quantity of growth %ill be managed through Adequate Public Facilities requirements and proactive planned extensions of servtces, Location Location of growth will be strongly managed as Indicated on the Growth Management Strategy Plan. Timing Timing of growth will be strongly monegcd through tools such as Adequate Public Facilities requirements and the Capital Improvemerts Program. Specific Aspects of the GMS Plan I 1. Anticipating and allowing growth along the southern borders of the City of Denton, provided development pays Its' own way, except in cases where the City wishes to Provide incentives to encourage it's desired urban form or corridors. 2. Adopting on aggressive annexation policy in order to manage the density and quality of growth within current ETJ land, and to maintain the existing CCN. 3. Using infrastructure master plans to develop expectations of odequote levels of public services. In areas where water and sewer services are provided, moderate density development can be accommodated. In areas where /arvices are not available, low-density development will be necessary, using septic systems and wells. 4. Single family Low-Density residential uses will be allowed to develop In areas outside of the Urbanizing Areas. The size of the lots in those areas will be based upon the area required to support a septic system, and will vary based upon each location's soils, The remaining land within those areas would remoln at agricultural uses. S. Within the Urban and Urbanizing Areas, higher density residential patterns would be allowed to occur. 6. These areas could be developed as'Nel;hborhood Centers' that are developed in an Inwardly oriented manner with a focus upo.s the center of the neighborhood. These developments would be estobtished in a manner that locates the center of the neighborhood within a S to 10 minute walking distance from the edge of the neighborhood. The center would contain uses necessary to support the surrounding neighborhood Including retail uses such as convenience grocery, barbers, or small professional offices, higher density residential uses such at townhomes, pork uses Including control neighborhood'green@' and Institutional uses such as lire stations, schools, libraries and transit nodes. The mix of uses Identified to support each neighborhood may be developed In a vertical manner with shops on the ground floor and offices or resldences on the upper floors. I Ml%.m ft AM Of DIN OMr M A% llw III CAO"4 C Ali 1124101iMl 64 PAGE. Ice I i 7. Future residential development within established residential areas would be developed in a manner that responds to the existing residential development with compatible land uses and patterns. The plan recommends that existing neighborhoods within the City be protected and preserved, S. The center of the infill development would be In the downtown district where preservation, restoration, redevelopment and infill would be the focus. Also, it is recommended that the City consider creating "University Districts" at LINT and TWU. These districts would focus on developing compatible, supporting land uses adjacent to the universities. 9. Multi-family residential development will be accommodated In the plan In a variety of forms. Many of the deterioroting apartments adjacent to the universities could be renovotod or redeveloped as new student housing In order to better support the needs of UNT and TWU. Additionally, other types of muhi-family development should be considered within the City such as townhomes. It Is recommended that multi-famly development be located in areas that provide transitions between lower and higher intensity uses, and In a manner that will not negatively Impact surrounding uses. Additionally, multi-family uses should be located in small g nupings around the city In o manner that provides o mix of uses and densities, rather than concentrating all multi. family, uses in one area which can have negative Impacts upon the City. 10. Future commercial uses are accommodated In the plan at key nodes throughout the City. The plan recommends that commerciol uses not be located contiruousy along corridors in a'Strip' manner. 11. Business would be accommodated in the plan in several areas. At the Intersection of Loop 288 and IH 35, the plan colts for an urban center. This center would be a mixed-use center containing office, retail, and high-density residential uses, This center could also include some research or technological uses that would be compatible with the activities at the unlversktes. A second urban center south of the interaction of Loop 288 and IH 35E could contain medicolly related off less with o mix of supporting uses, A third urban center on the south side of town would be located at the City's ETl along IH 35 west. This center would probably develop after the first two urban centers and could support general office uses at activities supporting Alliance Airport, 12. M order to sup )ort the proposed urban centers, and to provide additional support for the Universities, IN, plan proposes that the City consider extending the existing runway at the airport to 7500 r tot in length in order to accommodate business Jets. With this expansion, It Is proposed that the areas Immedlotely adjacent to the airport be reserved for Industrial uses. Industrial uses are typically very compatible with airports due to noise restrictions. Uses within this area could Include light manufacturing uses, distribution centers, or any other industrial uses that are compatible with the City's policies regarding environmental quality. Additionally, existing fioodplalms In this area could provide a very effective visual buffer between industrial uses and other surrounding ryes, 13. While the plan does not specifically Ident fy locations for future parks and Institutional uses such as parks and schools, it Is recomme Jed that these uses be located as required to adequately support future resWritial dove lopment, Additionally, it is recommended that these utas be located lo a manner that encourages community building within neighborhoods. The layout of neighborhoods should be In o manner that provides focus upon these facilKss, with strong pedestrian links to these facllitles from the surrounding r'. neighborhood, and with finks to the City's regional pedestrian and transportation systems. 14. in atl areas, the plan recommends preserving the 100•yeor, floodpfain In order to provide adequate drainage systems, preserve wildlife f,abitats, fat passive recreational uses, for the development of traits systems, and for providing buffers between Incompatible land uses, l M,,r„w b W e, T114 (IMP KO ,ti~. rw LW" AIR 1.12It IIM% a.

Adopt the Growth Management Strategy • The,5rowth Management Strategy Map provides the City with on overall urban form and general land use pattern that the City is trying to achieve. The map can be used a tool for planning for infrastructure Improvements and the delivery of other 3 essential public services. It allows the City to be more efficient in the delivery of public facilities and services by planning for the location and quantity of future growth. The map provides the "City with a guide for the development of the Comprehensive Plan that will give more detailed Information on future land use locations and the density of future development odlvlty. The Growth Management Strategy Tools provide the means for accomplishing the City's growth maragement objectives. 2. Adopt a Comprehensive Plan • The plan will deline the City's objectives regarding the location, amount, use and character of desired development. It will provide a mom detailed outllm of the City's deslred urban form. It can be rued as a tool to evaluate and guide future land use decisione, It provides a mechanism for coordinating Master Plans for City services and facilities. The pion will delineate the ultimate boundaries the City wants to achieve. It gives the City the opportunity to preserve and stabilise Its residential areas and protect environmentally sensltfve and historically signR!cont areas. It also allows the City the opportunity to enpture economic development opportunities by designating compatible locations for commercial and industrial growth. By adopting a comp►ehemeve plan and using It as a tool In guiding development decisions, the City can make sure that future growth is compotib s with existing development. 3. Conduct Small Area and Corridor Plannrrq to achieve the ComVeheroive Plan's Objectives • Certain areas around the Cov, such at major corridors, Downtown and the areas surrounding the Universities, need more detailed planning to achieve desired City objectives. 4. Use the City's Capitol! Improvement Program (CIP) to achieve the Comprehensive Plan's Objectives • The CIP can be used to direct growth to desired locations within the City. It can also be used to control the quantity of development through the level of facliltiet and services provided to specific geographic areas. Because the CIP oleo controls the timing of when facilities and services will become available, It is a tool for controlling the rote of growth, To be an e#et.tive growth manogement tool, the CIP should cover a period of several years (five to slot Is typical) and should be considered In the City's annuol capital budgeting process. 4 5. Prepare Master Plant for Infrastructure thot support the Comprehernive Plan's Objectives • Master Plans for public services, Infrastructure and utilittu should tupport the Implementation of the City's desired Adam as outlined In the Comprehentlve Plan. The Master Plans will Influence the location and quantity of future growth. Used with the Capitol Improvsment Program, they will also control the timing of new development activity. 6. Develop and Implement Adequate Public Facilities Policies to achieve the Comprohersive Plan's Objectives • The Implementation of Adequate Public Facititles Policies will help the City to ensure that public facilities and tervkes will be available to serve new development. It also supports the City's efforts towards infill and redevelopment by making sure that development farther away does not deprive Inf It and redevelopment activity becatose of inodequole facility capacity. The policy should be closely coordinated with the City's overall program for scheduling and funding capitol facilities (Copilot Improvement Programming). 7. Revise Utility Participation Policies that support implementation of the Comprehensive Plan • These porkies can be used at Incentives to direct growth to desired locations. They can be an Important tool In shaping development octbity to achieve the desired trban form for the community, tM, (M, b1e 14110r.11M071.441)rn PPINSPLAA'c All I-11"PUMA PACE 15 t i B. Use the Impact Fee Program to support the Comprehensive Plan's Objectives • Impact Fees can be used to direct development to desired locations. They can be used to encourage growth In areas with adequate focinties, where development will be less costly to serve. They can also encourage efficient development patterns for the provision of public services. 9. Use Annexation Policies to achieve the Comprehensive Plan's Objectives • The City should consider annexing areas where It destres to control future land use and density declslons. a 10. Use Incentives to Encourage infill and Redevelopment Activity • Existing developed, urban areas need to remain vital and healthy. This is important for Hscol comiderations, to malntaln the City's quality of IMe and to support the existing economic activity critical to the City (such as the Unlvvsities), Incentivet can be used to encourage Infiil and redevelopment activity and to ensure that this at.. illy Is compatible with existing neighborhoods, Incentives can take a variety of forms end tend to be tailored to the needs and economic resources of each commurAy. Often Community Block Grant Funds can be creatively used to encourage Infill and redevelopment activity. Other possibilities Include special taxing distrkts such as Tax Increment Finance Zones or Public Improvement Districts. Structuring Incentives to encourage pubiiclprfrate partnerships tend to be the key to successful Incentive programs. 11. Use incentives to Achieve Other Comprehensive Plan Objectives - Incentives can play a very Important role In achleving several community objectives. The City may want to encourage development In certain corridors or take actions to preserve its Water and Wastewater CCN's, Incentives can often encouroge desired development activity and accomplish objectives that cannot be ochksved through a regulatory approach alone. Incentives can take a variety of forms and are not just limited to financially based tools. Incentives should be examined and developed, as appropriate, to achieve community objectives contained in the Comprehensive Plan. 12. Use the Zoning Ordinance, Zoning Map, Subdivision Regulations and the Site Plan Review Process to support implementation of the Comprehensive Plan • These regulatory tools off ect the quantity of growth In the City, the location of that growth, and the quality of the development activity. Land uses and the densitles permitted In the City's Zoning Ordinance should support the desired vislon for the City. Zoning can also be used as a tool to achieve desired urbon form. Down zoning can be used to discourage development activity and zoning incentives (such as overlay zoning districts) can be used to encourage desired growth. Subdivision Regulations can be used as a regulatory tool to achieve quality of life objectives, such as protecting environmentally sensitive areas. Detolled guidance regarding use and deslgn can ensure that quality development objectives of the City ore achieved. The Site Plan Review Process can be used to ensure that now development meets the community's standards for quality. 13, Conduct Joint Planning Activities and Use intorlocal Agreements with other Governmental Agencies to address growth management Issues beyorA local control • Some growth monagement issues, such as trcnsporfotlon and envlronmental quality, must be addressed in a regional framework, Coordination with otht-r governmental agencies is critical in effectively addressing regional Issues. 4 MIIb.. bMNI1IOIC04rhANIN mPonti LM4VAM1.1244aUMl.la PAUE 16 • t r i Growth Management Strategy Implications Exhibit E The following pages Identify the Implication of the Growth Management St"y upon the previously adopted Denton Plan Polk Its.

This is accomplished through aivertising, trade shows, meetings with developers and professional organizations locally, throughoW the Metrople%, statewide, countrywide and internationally. more active and involved in the development The Chamber has attempted to become p,ocess locally. Several meetings have been coordinated with busiross leaders, developers and other interested individuals to facilitate discussion and provide input as various ordinances are considered. The Chamber Economic Development Office works very closely with the City Economic Development Office, attendi t weekly staff meetings for exchange of inforwion. This office has contributed to the dt clopment of a database of businesses by providing the database from the Ivtajor Employers and Manufacturers Guide which is produced annually at the Chamber. During the past fiscal year, we have received and responded to 188 requests for proposals or leads-companies looking either for existing facilities or greenfield sites. Nineteen of these were considered serious prospects, 17 of these came for site visits and a total of five located in Denton adding a total of 497 jobs during fiscal year 1997.98. See attached report. In addition to these new companies, me had a number of significant expansions. See attached report. We are currently working with nine serious prospects. In addition, close contact Is being maintained with United Copper Industries in an attempt to encourage other Mexican companies to look at the possibility of locating in Denton. 1 We will continue to work with the City Sconomic Development Office to update our marketing materials and develop nev., ones. We currently receive at least 50110 of our prospect leads via e-mail. 1lfany of these are responded to via e-mail with appropriate documents attached. In cases where we have no buildings or sites meeting key criteria, leads are forwarded to the County Economic Development Office, As much 03 the budget allows, we continue to advertise in key publications. We have had good response to advertisements placed during the past fiscal year. We also continue to improve our wcb site. The site has recently been completely revamped making it more r, user-friendly and adding a number of pictures. The Economic Development section t, r-fains population, Ic'mr and unemployment information, as well as information on t" J incentives, ial,es, major employers and quality of life. We have had many positive comments regard;ng our web site, 58-H G C+ I The Joint Economic Development Committee which oversees activity of the partnership recommends that we develop a first-class presentation room for meeting,vith prospects { when they come for site visits. Approval was given in this year's budgei to spend private funds to accomplish renovation of the upstairs meeting room into private offices and presentation room. A visit has been made to the HilIwood Development Corporation's conference room at Alliance Aiq-d to obtain ideas to be incorporated into N% project. I With the record-setting pace of residential growth In Denton at the present time, it Is imperative that we continue to emphasize the importance of commercial and industrial growth. One S 10 Million business investment is equal to 100 houses valued at S 100,000 in increasing the tax base without the impact on the school district and demand on City services. In order to educate the cifliens on the importance of industrial growth and in order to build some bridges following the failed economic development safes tax referendum, the Chamber has conducted a survey of business and community leaders. The results arc being summarized and will be used to conduct an educatioWawareness campaign. We will continue to work to attract Industries that fall within the six industry clusters identified by Fantus, as well %s responding to ail requests that come through this office.

R ~ pp~ 1a. a., ua. , aanv taw~r rs.6 rtsra taw , taw _ • taw r taw c APPENDIX A ti SUGGESTED CHANGES FOR BOARDSICOMMISSIONS Airport Advisory Board The Airport Advisory Board was established during a time when the City did not have an Airport Manager nor airport staff to manage and oversee operations. The purpose of the board was to advise City Council on all airport matters rather than to focus on policy issues as most boards and commissions are charged, At this time, we have an airport division headed by a very capable director and staff who are responsible for the management of operational matters. In addition, the 1969 resolution that established the Airport Advisory Board qualifies board membership with the following restriction: "No person having any pecuniary (financials interest in the Denton Airport or with any operator or concessionaire thereon shall be a member of this Airport Advisory Board " the intent of this clause is to ensure board recommendations to Council will not be influenced by any personal interest. However, the restriction makes it very difficult to find potential board members, as so many individuals who have indicated an interest in serving on the board are owners of aircraft, are pilots, or have general aviation interests. For these reasons, staff recommends that the Airport Advisory Board be retained to advise Council on policy matters only. Legal and operational activities, such as budget and contracts, should be handled by management staff. Under this recommendation, staff would continue to brief the board on airport activities and seek their input. However, formal board recommendations would be forwarded to Council on policy rather than management issues. Should a policy item come before the board where a possible conflict of interest may occur. staff would direct the board member in question to abstain from discussing or voting on the item. In addition, staff recommends that all future appointments to the Board meet the financial interest restriction as set forth in 1969. Building Code Board Staff recommends consideration of the inclusion of the duties of other boards with the Building Code Board. A single Construction Advisory and Appeals Board could be created to oversee the duties currently being performed by the Building Code Board, the Electrical Code Board and the Plumbing and Mechanical Code Board. At a minimum, the duties of the Electrical Code Board could be moved under the jurisdiction of the Building Code Board. If either option were considered, expansion of the number and qualifications of Board members should be considered. Cable Television Advisory Board r { Staff is recommending dissolving the Cable Television Advisory Board as the responsibilities of (r the Board are now the duties of staff 1 he Board's responsibilities include advising Council on regulator) issues, resolving disputes between the cable operator and subscribers if they cannot resoIve the dispute thcrosehes, reviewing reports from the cable operator, and assuring that cable operation information is accessible to the public. In regards to advising Council on regulctory issues, it is unrealistic to expect volunteer Board members to have the depth of knowledge necessary to advise Council due to the increasingly complex federal laws and regulations. For i I matters such as rates, franchise review, and franchise transfers, the City normally hires a consultant. Over the past four years, only one instance has occurred where the Board was F needed to resolve a dispute between the cable operator and s subscriber, Staff currently reviews reports from the cable operator and there has never been as issue regarding cable operator information being accessible to the public, Downtown Development Advisory Board It is recommended that this Board be dissolved. Wh-n the Downtown Development Advisory Board (DDAB) was first established, a strong Main Street Association (MSA) did not exist. The f Main Street Association has grown and has taken financial responsibility for events and marketing the Downtown. Since the two organizations had similar charges, staff began holding joint DDAB and MSA board meetings over a year ago. Many DDAB members are also MSA members. In fact, on several occasions, when it came time for a vote, members would r,uestlon which board they were on. If Council makes the decision to dissolve the DDAB, staff I recommends that Council consider fornmily accepting recommendations from the MSA on downtown issues. Electrical Code Board Stiff recommends to eliminate the Electrical Code Board and place all Board duties under the building Code Board or an all-inclusive Construction Advisory and Appeals Board. Keep Denton Beautiful Board As Keep Denton Beautiful was recently transferred to the Parks and Recreation Department, no changes are recommended to be made to the Keep Denton Beautiful Board at this time. Although neither the Parks and Recreation Board nor the Keep Denton Beautiful Board has been presented with any recommendations, staff is contemplating the following proposals: • that the Parks and Recreation Board be removel from the City Charter and re- cstablished by ordinance; and that the Keep Denton Beautiful and Parks and Recreation Boards be merged under a 7 or 14 member board and renamed to reflect a combined mission. Staff will be discussing the feasibility of these proposals with the City Attorney. Until the proposed Charter revision has been acted upon, no changes to the Keep Denton Beautiful Board are recommended, Library Board Staff had originally suggested that the Library Board be dissolved and that current board members join the Friends of the Denton Public Libraries. Upon further re- iew iu d serious ' reconsideration, staff frets that the Library Board should remain intact. The decision changed in light of the upcoming Capital Improvements Program in which the Library Board will be ' cri+ically needed to act as an advocate in promoting the Library to gamer community support. Staff will, however, stand by its original statement this t since the Library Board acts solely in an advisory capacity that there is no need to have mont'ily board meetings, After discussing this issue with the seven board members, the majority agreed that the Board could become more effective by meeting on a quarterly basis and, when necessary, for a called meetiog. The first quarterly meeting will be on February 4, 1999, Parks and Recreation Board It is recommended to increaee membership on this board from five to seven members and to eliminate the property ownership requirement, substituting voter registration ai the primary qualification. Changes to this Board would require a Charter amendment and would have to be approved by the voters. Plumbing and Mechanical Code Board It is suggested by staff to eliminate the Plumbing and Mechanical Code Board and place all the Board's duties under the Building Code Board or an all-inclusive Construction Advisory and Appeals Board. Public Utilities Board Section 12.07(d) of the City Charter prohibits the Public Utilities Board from meeting in Executive Session, There are occasions when the Board would like to mt.' in Executive Session to discuss competitive confidential issues that would affect the daily operations of the public utility. Any change to this board would require a Charter amendment and would have to be approved by the voters. Sign Board of Appeals The Sign Board of Appeals was created out the Zoning Board of Adjustment so that a separate board could consider all sign related cases. Due to the limited number of cases considered each !i! year, jurisdiction of these duties should be retumcd to the Zoning Board of Adjustment, I I Zoning Board of Adjustment At present the biggest problem or concern is the status and voting power of aitemate members. Chapter 35 (Zoning Ordinance) clearly states that aitemate members may only vote in the absence of a regular member. It is somewhat frustrating for staff to ask alternate members to study their materials and attend the meetings, but not be able to assure them that their participation will be necessary at a public hearing. Moreover, alternate status is permanent, not temporary. The selection process to fill vacancies excludes the ability to allow an alternate member to become a permanent member, thereby making the newcst member an alternate. In these two ways, the present system penalizes the experience of alternate members by limiting their contribution to the Zoning Board of Appeals. Starr recommends that an expansion of the regular members from five to seven would improve Ilic o1scration of the Zoning Board of Appals. State law authorized every member of a governing body to appoint one member to the board. Increasing membership from five to Leven l , would provide every City Council member the opportunity to appoint a regular member, f / c sal A 6dw a.

Nonconforming uses and structures. (a) Amortization of Nonconforming Uses. The Board may require the discontinuance of nonconforming uses of land or structure under any plan whereby the full value of the structure and facilities can be amortized within a definite period of time, taking into cconsideration the general character of the neighborhood and the necessity for all property to conform to the regulations of this chapter. All actions to discontinue a nonconforming ux of land and structure shall be taken with due regard for the property rights of the psrrons affected when considered in the light of the public welfare and the character of the area surrounding the designated nonconforming use and the conservation and preservation of property. The board shall, from time to time, on its own motion 1 or upon cause prasonted by the City or an aggrieved person, inquire into the ex;stence, continuation or maintenance of any nonconforming use within the city. (b) Criteria for Determining Amortization Period. Before the Board may determine an amortization por!vd, it must consider the following factorsi (1) The owners capital investment in the structures on the property at the time the use became nonconforming. . (2) The amount of the investment realized to date and the amount remaining, if any, to be rer-vexed during the amortization period. (3) The life expectancy of the investment. ill SIMMONS! f (4) The existence or nonexistence of lease obligations, as well as any contingency clauses therein permitting termination of such leases. (5) Removal costs that are directly attributable to the establishment of a termination date. (6) Other costs and expenses that are directly attribu- table to the establishment of a termination date. (c) Discontinuation of Nonconforming Uses. (1) If the board establinhes a termination date for a nonconforming uss, the use must cease operations on that date and the owner may not operate it after that date unless it becomes a conforming use. (2) Thy right to operate a nonconforming use terminates if the nonconforming use is discontinued or remains vacant for six months or more. The Board may grant an exception to this provision only if the owner can state an extreme circumstance that demonstrates that there was not an intent to abandon the use even though the use was discontinued for six months or mcre. (3) A nonconforming use terminates when the structure housing the use is destroyed by the intentional act of the owner or his agent. Soo# 29.19. Restoration of Nonconforming Visa The Board may authorize the reconstruction and occupancy of a I nonconforming structure, or a structure containing a nonconforming use, where such structure has been damaged by fire or other causes to the extent of more than fifty (50) percent, but less than the total, of the ruplacimsnt cost of the structure on the date of the damage. The structure must be restored or reconstructed so as to have the same approximate height and floor area that it had immediately prior to the damage or destruction. The property owner has the burden of proof to establish the height and floor area of the structure immediately prior to the damage or destruction. A restoration or reconstruction in violation of this paragraph immediately terminates the right to operate the nonconforming use. too. M oo# Nonconforming structures. , (a) A person may renovate, remodel, repair or rebuild a non- conforming structure without Board approval if the'work does not increase the degree of nonconformity nor enlarge the nonconforming structure. A person shall comply with all applicable codas and ordinances when renovating, remodeling or repairing a structure housing a nonconforming use that has been approved by the Board. 114 c III i I I, I } (b) The right to rebuild a nonconforming structure terminates if the structure is destroyed by the intentional act of the owner or the owner's agent, if a nonconforming structure is damaged or destroyed other than by the intentional act of the owner or owner's agent by less than fifty (50) percent of the replacement cost of the structure on the date of the damage, a person may restore or reconstruct the structure without Board approval. See. U.-Si. variances. (a) A variance may be granted when the Board findss (1) That there are special circumstances or conditions applying to the land or building for which the. Variance is sought, which circumstances or conditions are peculiar to such land or building and do not apply generally to land or buildings in the same zone or neighborhood, and that said circumstances or conditions are such that the strict application of the provisions of this ordinance would deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of such land or building] and (2) That the granting of such variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such zone or neighborhood in which the property is located= and (3) That the granting of the variance is necessary for the reasonable use of the land or building and that the variance as granted by the Board is the minimum variance that will accomplish this purposal and (4) That the literal enforcement and strict application of the provisions of this ordinance will result in an unnecessary hardship inconsistent with the general provisions and intent of this ordinance and that in granting such variance the spirit of the ordinance will be preserved and substantial justice done. (b) In granting any variance under the provisions of this Article, the Board may designate such conditions in connection therewith which, in its opinion, will secure substantially the purpose and intent of this ordinance. (c) The Board may permit such variance of the front yard, side ~ yard, rear yard, lot width, lot depth, coverage, minimum setback standards and landscaping where the literal enforcement of these it provisions would result in an unnecessary hardship, and where such 1 variance is necessary to permit a specific parcel of land which differs from other parcels of land in the same district by being of such restricted area, shape or slope that it cannot'be developed in a canner commen9urate with the development permitted upon other 115 t parcels of land in the same district. (d) A variation from the standards established by this ordi- nance shall not be granted to relieve a self-created or personal hardship, nor for financial reason only, nor r.nall such modification be granted'to permit any person a privilege in developing a parcel of land not permit:cd by this ordinance to other parcels of land in the district.

(c) In granting any special exception under the provisions of this ordinance, the Board may designate such conditions in connec- tion therewith which, in its opinion, will secure substantially the purpose and intent of this ordinance. (d) The Board may, after public hearing and subject to the conditione and safeguards herein contained, authorize special exceptic,-W to this ordinance, limited to the following= (1) The 9oard may allow a change from one nonconforming use to another nonconforming use whens ~ d (a) the change of the use does not prolong the life of the nonconforming use; and (b) the change of the use is to a more restrictive classification. when a nonconforming use is changed to a nonconforming use of a more restrictive classification, 116 t the building or structure containing such nonconforming use shall not liter be reverted to the former lower or less restricted classification.
