BACKGROUND
Ryan Road Entcrpriscs Is proposing to develop the subject property as a single-family residential
subdivision. At present, it Is located in the Extra-tcrritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) of the City of
Denton, providing the City of Denton with subdivision regulation of the development. The
developer is proceeding with subdivision procedures. The Planning and Zoning Commission
approved a preliminary plat for Thistle Bill Estates Addition, providing for one hundred and
twenty-nine (129) lot:., on December 28, 1998 (see Attachment 7). The proposed subdivision
design provides lots that conform to the minimum lot area requirements of Single-family 10(SF-
10) and Single-family 16 (SF-16) zoning districts. The developer wishes to zone the northern
twenty-one (20.98) acres SF-16 and the remaining thirty-one and a half (31,51) acres SF-10
concurrent with the arncxaUon, The final plat is under review by the Development Review
Committee.
I'he development of Thistle Hill Estates subdivision will rcqu r, several public improvements:
1. Right-of--way dedication along Ryan Road and proposed roik,.tor street,Watt Way.
2. Lcf1-turn and right-tum lanes on Ryan Road.
3. Participation in traffic signal at Ryan Road and Teasley Lane,
4. Construction of internal streets,
5. Sidewalks along all p-rblic streets, including Ryan Road and proposed collector.
6. Extension of water and sewer lines.
7. Storm water drainage improvements.
8. Installation of fire hydnmts.
9. Dedication of public utility easements.
'fhe development is subject to the Park Dedication Ordinance (Ord. 98.039). A fee in lieu of
dad %:ation will be required for the subject property, equal to the pre-development value of 0.903
acres of the tract,during the platting process. The developer is required to pay the fees at time of
release of th; final plat. Park development fees will be collected during the building permit stage
equal to$291 per lot. if the residential subdivision were completely built-out as proposed, total
Pecs for park development would equal $37,539(129 single-family lots x 5291 per lot).
I
In accordance with the City's annexation policy plan, approved in tune of 1993, the City will
"assess on a case by case basis the annexation of areas in the ET1 when significant developments
are proposed." Staff has conducted a preliminary annexation assessment of the proposed
annexation In accordance with policy guidelines.

ANNEXATION STUDY ,.
(A-79)
Thistle Hill Estates
Guidelines for scope of study:
In studying the questions of whether c not an area should be annexed, the following cdferia'
shall be considered:
(t) The ability of the city to furnish normal city services equal to other comparable areas
Inside the city limits.
(A) Streets and Roads; The existing road in the area, Ryan Road, will need paving
improvements. The Long Range Mobility Plan identifies Ryan Road as a secondary
major arterial and calls for a collector on the southern boundary of the proposed
development.
(B) Y"ater/Wastewater Services: Water and sewer service In the area will rased to be
extended, at the developer's expense, along Ryan Road. The subdivision will tie into
an existing twelve (12) inch waterline located on Ryan Road at the Intersection with
Fomstridge Drive and into an existing eight (g) Inch gravity sanitary sewer that runs
down Ryan Road across the entire frontage of the subject tract. This sewer line is
connected to the Gransds lift station.
(C) Electric Distribution: Electric distribution Is capable of providing service to the area.
(D) Solid Waste Collection and Disposal: The city currently provides solid waste services
In the immediate area. Any development in this area will result in in increased demand
for services. Additional personnel and equipment will be necessary to provide service
to significant development in the area.
(F) Police Services: Any future development of the rroperty will result in increased
demand for police services In the area. The area surrounding Oils property is already
within the city. Response time to the subject property would be comparable to that of
surrounding property in the city, No additional personnel and equipment will be
necessary to provide service to the subject development.
(F) Fire Protection and Emergency Medical Services (EMS): Any futurb development of
the property will result in increased demand for fire protection and EMS services in the
area. The primary fire station to servici:the proposed subdivision will be Fire Station N
6 located near the intersection of Teasley Lane and Lillian Miller Parkway. Existing
personnel and equipment can adequately serve the proposed subdivision.
(0) Parks and Recreation Services: No parks or facilities are currently adjacent to this
property. The South Lake Pak is located approximately one mile north at the
Forestridge Drive and llobson Road Intersection. in addition, a twenty-five (25) acre
park is pending dedication in the River Oaks Subdivision;this park would be located to
the south of Thistle Bill Estates,approximately three (3)m'les by way of Ryan Road to ,
Teasley Lane to llickcry Creek.Road. Participation In the development of
neighborhood parks will be required as development occurs. Additional community
facilities community and regional facilities may be necessary 10 provide service to the
residents of the area if significant development in the area occurs.

i
(to Library Services: Existing fr^:;;t;es cannot meet proposed annexation. Expansion
requirements cannot be determined until the forthcoming Library Master Plan Study is'
completed;the results of which are anticipated in March of 1999.
(1) Code Enlbreement, Building Inspections and Consumer Yea kh Services: Annexation .M
will trigger additional case work for the Code Enforcement, Building Inspections, and
Consumer Health divisions. At present, there is no excess capacity in any of these
divisions. All of these divisions are operated as enterprise funds.
(]) Planning and Development Services: Zoning activity will trigger additional casework
i
for the Planning and Development department. Presently, staff reviews all planing
activity within Division I of the City's ET), wherein this property is located. 'Thus,
other than the initial zoning and the possibility of future variances, little additional
work will be placed upon staff by this property,
(K) Miscellaneous: Any future development of the property will result in Increased
demand for general government services in the area. Additional personnel and
facilities may be necessary to provide services to significant development In the area.
(L) Capital Improvements Program (CIP): The CIP of the city Is prioritized according to
the following guidelines: (1) Provision of Capital lmprovements as compared to other
areas will be based on characteristics of topography, land utilization, population
density, magnitude of problems as related to comparable areas, established technical
standards and professional studies. (2) The overall cost effectiveness of providing a
specific facility or improvement. The annoxed area will be considered for public
Improvements in the upcoming CIP. This property will be considered according to the
established guidelines.
(2) The rellability, capacity and future public cost, if any, of current and planned
provisions for community facilities such as roads,drainage,utilities,etc.
(A) Streets and Roads: The ptoperty's access will be via Ryan Road. The city's mobility i
plan Identities this road as a secondary major arterial street. Several transportation
1 improvements will the responsibility of the developer: right-ofway dedication along
Ryan Road and proposed collector street, Walt Way; left-tum and right-turn lanes on
Ryan Road;participation In traffic signal at Ryan Ro ui and Teasley Lane;construction
of internal streets; and sidewalks along all public stmets, Including Ryan Road and
Watt Way. There may be long teen costs to the city to provide necessary upgrade&and
improvements to Ryan Road and the proposed collector.
(13) lVater/Wastewater Services: Water distribution and wastewater collection systems are
in proximity to the property. Water and Wastewater treatment facilities have capacity.
Both are "Enterprise Funds" to that.any necessary Improvements will not Impact the
general fund. Recently approved Impact fees are deposited Into the Enterprise Fund. i
Extension of seryice lines to and within the property will be the responsibility of the
developer.

(C) Electric Distribution; Facilities to provide electric service to the property may be
necessary. Again, the electric utility is an 'Enterprise Fund" so that any necessary '
improvements will not impact the general fund. Service connections will be the
responsibility of the developer.
(D) Solid Water Collection and Disposal: Equipment to provide services to the property
will be necessary when fully developed. The solid waste utility is also an Enterprise
Fund.
(E) Police, Fire and Emergency Medical Services; 'These departments are driven by `
response lime. As additional development in this area occurs, more personnel and `
equipment may be necessary to maintain current response times. F Station N6 is
approximalely two miles from this property.
(F7 Parks and Recreation, library and General Government Services, The demand for
these services Is a function of residential population. Additional development will
result in more residents,creating more demand for facilities and services to the city.
(3) The need and quality of land use and building controls. Private controls will be
considered.
This property is adjacent to a Single Family 16(SF-16)district,which Is located Just to the
north on the other side of Ryan Road. Control of the quality of land 'and building
development will be required to protect property values, ensure land use compatibility and
control density.
(4) impact on the City,both current and long range, Including at o minimum.
(A) Fiscal Cost and Benefits; The proposed development plan indicates that the residential
development will have a gross density of 2.46 units per sere with significant public
benefits, Including the construction of a collector on the south side of the subject tract.
(B) Traffic. Ryan Road will be the primary access point for this development until other
development occurs to complete the construction of the alternative collector streets that
will disperse traffic in other directions.
(C) Infrastructure near Roads, Urilirles and Other Community Facilities; Water
distribution and wastewater collection systems must be extended at the developer's
expense. Both systems are currently adjacent to the properly. Electric service can be
providod. Ryan Road must be enhanced in the near future. Othtr community facilities
r i :y be necessary if significant development occurs rapidly.
(D) Safety and Health: The proximity of this property to fire station 116 will provide
adequate response times for fire and emergency services. The area Is already within the
police service area. Significant additional development may require additional
equipment and personnel to provide adequate response times.

SERVICE ANALYSIS
1. if annexed,can antlelpated service demands be met using existing materials,
facilities, and personnel?
The District his tnessuted capacity at each facility on the basis of"functional '
capacity," This value represenIn the number of students that maybe served by the
permanent structures located at each campus. The use ofportable$or other
temporary structures is not Included In the"functional capacity"calculation.
The district estimates that elementary schools will be at 100%of t%eir functional
rapacity once renovations at the Raynor and Wilson campuses are complete.
These renovations should be r;mpleted by the 1999-2000 school year. Middle
and high schools are estimated to beat 101%and 85%capacity respectively. A
fourth middle school is scheduled to open for the 2002 school year,adding im
additional 1.000 student capacity.
For planning purposes,the district assumes that 0.40 elementary students,0.17
middle school students, and 0.18 high school students are generated by each
single family unit, The district estimates that this development will add 119
elementary,51 middle school, and 54 high school students
Considering functional capacity and planned middle school construction,middle
and high school students may be served while additional elementary facilities will
be required, It to Important to consider the rate at which this development will
build out,which will directly Impact the rate at which sladents will be added and
accommodated by the district.
2. if not, how many additional employees and what type of facilities and materials
will be needed to provide scrvlces?
The state mandates a maximum student to teacher ratio of 22 to I for elementary
classes. Considering this ratio,an additional 5.4 classrooms and an additional SA
teachers will be required.
Classroom capacity may be provided through any one or a combination of the
following:
a, temporary classrooms/portables,
f b. student population transfers or absorption of students at other
campuses,or ,
c, new elementary school.00nstruction.

4. Will projected school taxes from this development provide that additional p
fundlug?
The district is subject to a statutory limit of its ad-valorem tax rate. State law
prohibits a tax rate greater than$1.50 per$100 of valuation. D.I.S.D. adopted e
property tax rate of S I AS per$100 valuation for the 1998.1999 fiscal year.

A combination of residential and non-residential development that yields funds
equaling$4,321 per year(1998 value)will provide the necessary funding for one

The developer is requesting to be annexed Into the City of Denton and concurrently zoned single.
family 16 (SF-16) and Single-family 10 (SF-10)zoning classification and land use designation for this
52.491 acre property. The intention Is to develop a one hundred and twenty-nine(129)residential lot
subdivision(sea Enclosure 6). As proposed, the SF-16 zoning district area would cover the northern
21.49 acres adjacent to Ryan Road and would contain thirty-six (36)lots. The remalnit)g thirty-one
acres in the SF-10 zoning districtwould be subdivided Into nlnetythree (93) lots.
The general policy of the city Is to assess on a case-by-case basis the annexation of areas in the
extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ)when significant developments are proposed, occurring, or 1c%oly to
occur In the near future, according to Section 34.35, concerning annexation, of Chapter 34
(sutxiivislon and land use regulations)of the Code of Ordinances.
An annexation schedule was approved by City Council on February 91' (see Enclosure 10). The
process includes three puWo hearings to provide opportunity for public Input—two before City Council
and another before the Planning and Zoning Commission. After the public hearings, City Council will
officially Initiate the annexation proceedings by voting to approve the request, including readings of
proposed ordinance. This requires two additional public meetings. Approval requires a four-fifths vote
(6 out of 7)in-favor. City Council held the first public hearing on February 14, 11099, Upon Planning
and Zoning Commission action,City Council will oonduat a third public hearing on March 2, 11999. and
then initiate the formal annexation procedure on March 23, J999,and conclude on April 20, 1999,
The properly owner has selected to exercise his right to zone the subject tract concurrent with
annexation. Section 83-14, concerning platting property not permanently zoned, of Chapter 35
(zoning regulations) of the Code of Ordinances states the policy of the city Is"if the Planning and
Zoning Comrplsslon holds a hearing on proposed annexation, It may, at Its discretion, at the some
time hold a public hearing upon the permanent zoning that is to be given to the area or tract to be
annexed and make recommendation on both matters to the city council so that the city douncil can,
If it desires, act or, the matter of permanent zoning and annexation at the same tlme'
The subject property can develop as proposed regardless of the outcome of annexation end zoning.
If the city chooses not to annex this property, It may still develop In the City of Denton's extraterritorial
jurisdiction (ETJ). Rusidents living In the ETJ still attend DISD schools and pay school taxes as well
as county taxes, however would not be liable for city taxes. If In the ETJ, the development v.11l not be
subject to any zoning regulations, but will have to comply with the land use and development ', A
regulations. City utilities will be provided through private contract to the development,at an Increased ;
rate. Police services would not be provlded and fire protection services would only be provided under
mutual aid request from the City of Argyle. Emergency medical services would be provided by the
Denton lire department. Ail other city public facilities will be accessible to these residents.

1988 Denton Development Plan Analysis
The 1988 Denton Development Plan (DDP) shows this area to be within a Low Intensity Area.
These areas are Intended to be developed primarily for single family residential development.
Neighborhoods are to be serviced by a network of small commerciallretail centers spaced at about
%a mile Intervals with direct access to a collector type street or larger thoroughfare. Vehicular trip
generation due to development within Low intensity Areas is restricted to 60 trips per day per acre in
order to balance land use with road capacity.
Staff finds the proposed development to be consistent with both the pol€ties and trip intonsity
standards of the 1988 DDP(see Enclosure 7). The approval of annexation and the requested single-
family zoning would ensure that the property remains consistent with the City's vision for this area.
i
1998 Denton Plan Policies Analysis
The 1998 Denton Plan (DP)Is to be used In conjunction with the 1988 Denton Development Plan In
evaiu3ting the consistency of proposed development with the long range vision for the city. Staff
finds the proposed development to be consistent with fire policies of the 1998 DP (see
Enclosure 8). The Growth Management Plan identifies this area to be residential. There is existing
low density residential development to the north and this request for Single-family 16 (SF-16) and
Single-family 10 (SF-10)would maintain and continue this pattern.
1. Transportation
A. Trip generation
The proposed Thistte Hill estates would generate approximately 1,232 trips per day if built out with
one hundred and twenty nine (129) homes (see Table 1 below), This translates Into a low trip
generation compared to the 1988 DDP intensity standards. This standard indicates that
development in Low Intensity Areas should ger erale no more than 60 trips per acre to balance
vehicle demand with transportation Irirastructure. The proposed subdivision would be sixty-one
percent (61%) below this threshold.

Ryan Road is Identified as a secondary major arterial road by the 1998 Denton Mobility Plan(see
Enclosure 11). This road Is designed fo be a four (4) line undivided street without parking,
pravkling four (4) lanes of through traffic. As such, Its designed traffic capacity allows for a
tolerabte traffic rpo:v of up to 14,900 trips per day. However, Ryan Road is currently constructed
with two(2)lanes v,ithout parking. At this point, he designed traffic capacity allows for a tolerable
traffic flow of up to 6,300 trips per day. The most recent traffic count for Ryan Road at its west end
was 765 trips. This indicates that there Is adequate capacity to handle the calculated trips that
could be generated by the proposed development.

contribute to f3'k land dedication and park development fees. -039). this requirements are
required during the pia',ting process. Park development fees are required prior to the Issuance of
building permits. The following Is a breakdown of the two requirements for this development:
Park Land Dedication. =0.903 pa-k acres
Park Development Fees= 129 s!agle-family lots x $291 per lot = $37,539 .-
A fee In lieu of dedicatMm will be rejulred because the calculation Is less than five (5)acres. It will
be equal to the pre-development valvq of 0.903 acres of the tract. The developer is required to
pay the fees at time of release of tha hr;,! plat,

AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET kJV&NO
Apr&ttant
AGENDA DATE: May 25°, 1999
DEPARTMENT: Planning& Development
CMIDCM/ACM: Rick Svehla
Holl�d the�ffiirst of two public hearings regarding the proposal voluntary annexation of an approximately
2,746 acre tract of land located west of 1.35W, north of Crawford Road, and east of Florence Road.
[Robson Communities, Inc,]
On May 25m,jam, City Council will conduct the Arrd of two required public hearings related to the
voluntary annexation petition submitted by Robson Communities,Inc. Staff expects to receive a
Planned Development zoning application for the property in the near future to be considered by City
Council for approval on the same date as the completion of the annexation.
The representatives of Robson Communities, Ina have been working with the City of Denton for more
than a year to develop plans for a master-planned resort retirement community, located west of the I.
33W/Crawford Road intersection (see Exhibit A). The subject properly is 2,745.51 acres in size;an
estimated 744 acres are located within the'fown of Nonhlake ETJ, and an estimated 1,952 acres are
located within the City of Denton ETJ, The developer requests that the Denton City Council consider
annexing the entire 2,746 acre tract by taking the following sequential actions:
Consider entering into an IMerlocal Apportionment Agreement Resolution with the Town
of Norhlake,thereby assigning the portion of the Robson tract inside Nonblake's ETJ to
Denton.
2, Withdraw the portioa of the Robson tract(Tract 01 • 1,952 acres)from further
consideration for involuntary annexation by deleting the portion of their property from the
city's involuntary annexation petition
1 Consider approval of a voluntary annexation petition and Planned Development zoning
application for the entire 2,746 acre site
The Growth Management Strategy, adopted by City Council in January 1999, acknowledges the
potential development of the Robson tract, and includes the property as an area to be considered for
annexation within the period from 1998 to 2020.
The Coy Councii approved a resolution that would facilitate the execution of an interlocal agreemen; r jr r
with the Town of Nonhlake, allowing consideration of the Robson voluntary annexation petition. The
imerlocal agreement between Nonhlake and Denton has rot yet been a ecuted, but the public hearings
can proceed as scheduled. If the voluntary petition :annot be considered is submitted,Council can
decline to approve the annexation ordinance on first reading,or can revise the area affected. The
I
t `
E
Council may also elect to continue the involuntary annexation proceedings for the 1,952 acre portion
n secoreJ reading at
of an ordinance o
of the Robson tract inside the Denton Etl during g
g
the May 25h, 1999 meeting.
PECO,MMEM1DATION
Staff recommends that the public hearing should be conducted as scheduled. If the Dentor Northlake
interlocal agreement is executed, staff recommends completion of the process as set forth in the
Exhibit B schedule It appears that the Denton-Northlake agreement is ready for mayoral signatures,
but Northlake is waiting for road improvement and maintenance contracts from Denton County before
the mayor will sign the interlocal agreement.
ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT
The voluntary annexation schedule, provided in Exhibit B,has been revised by staff to comply with
state law timing requirements, and moves the annexation back 7 days as compared to the original
schedule, from July 200i, 1999 to July 27'h, 1994. If the second reading of the annexation ordinance,
scheduled for July 276, 1999, is approved by City Council, the likely effective date of the annexation
would be August 10'h, 1999.
Other actions involving the City of Denton and the Town of Northlake are being coordinated to allow
the annexation of the entire Robson tract by Denton These include:
Thursday, April 8'h - Northlake Town Council Briefing- Interlocal Agreement
Friday, April 96 a Denton City Council Briefing -Interlocal Agreement

land. Second Reading.
a Tract 01 (A-80). approximately 1,952 acres of land located at the southwestern edge of the City
of Denton's extraterritorial jurisdiction, between Crawford and Lively Roads, approximately
5,800 feet west from 1.35W,and east frcm Florence Road [Robson property]

BACKJjRQUND
City Council is scheduled to approve the annexation of three tracts of land,as indicated in the attached
ordinances(Exhibits A, D, and C), on May 256i, 1999. The ordinance for Tract 03 (A-82) has been
revised as pet the Council vote on first reading, which occurred on April 206', 1999, to reduce the
affected land from 1,025 acres to 472 acres. The revision was made to exclude from annexation the
property owners not affiliated with the attempted creation of a Fresh Water Supply District The other
twn ordinances have not been revised since April 20'", 1999. The attached ordinances, each of which
contain a Service Plan, were approved on first reading as required by super•majority vote of City
Council. On May 25h, 1999, Council approval will require a super-majority vote(7.0 or 6.1)for the
ordinances to take effect If approved, the ordinances will become effective in 14 days,on line 86i,
1999. Companion ordinances have been prepared for Council consideration on May 25'h to establish
the initial Agricultural zoning for the tracts.
As per state law, the ordinances were published thirty days prior to consideration of adoption on
second reading Also, as per City Charter requirements (Section 1.03),any amendments to the t
ordinances made by Council on May 25" would require republication in the newspaper, and an
additional 30 days would have to pass before Council action could take place.
Mandatory public hearings held on March 20 and 30°', 1999 started the review process During both
of these public hearings, City Council received a staff briefing and heard public comments Following
a
t,
1
t+
s
x
a public hearing on April 10, 1999, the City Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that
City Council approve annexation of the tracts as proposed, by a vote of 4.2 (Engelbrecht, Rishel,
Gourdie, Moreno- In Favor; Powell and Apple-Opposed;Gartzer- Absent). During a Special
Called meeting on Slay 10, 1999,the Planning k Zoning Commission recommended approval of the
temporary Agricultural zoning for the tracts by a vote of 7-0.
Discussions with the owners of Tract N 1 and Tract N3 have led to consideration of mutual agreements
regarding the coordination ofannexation and zoning approvals. Tract MI,owned by Robson
Communities, Inc , Is also subject to a voluntary annexation petition that Includes land currently
located Inside the Town of Nonhlake extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ). If a Denton-Northlake
interlocal agreement is executed before May 25't',staffwill recommend that the involuntary annexation
ordinance for Tract N 1 be withdrawn in favor of the voluntary petition. A Planned Development
zoning application may be submitted in the near future with respect to Tract 0,owned by the H-iffines
family, Negotiations regarding both of these tracts are not yet com&te Any changes that may affect
the involuntary annexations will be reported to Council on May 25' ,
Additional Background; Growth Management Strategy Un
For more than a year,the City of Denton has actively pursued the development of a comprehensive
plan intended to guide growth for the next 20 years Population forecasts being used to develop the
plan Indicate high levels of growth in the city's southern and eastern extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ), i
predicting that an additional 80,000 to 100,000 people will live In the Denton area in the near future.
The Growth Management Strategy (GMS)is the cornerstone of the comprehensive plan, and was
adopted by the Denton City Council in January 1999. The GMS identifies the high growth areas in the
ETJ as"Urbanizing Areas", indicating that these areas will be considered for annexation and managed
growth. Planning Policies adopted by City Council in April 1998 are strongly oriented towed the
coordinated and efficient provision of all municipal services, including infrastructure systems related
to transportation, water,sanitary sewer, and drainage
The tracts identified for proposed annexation are located in"Urbanizing Areas." Much of the land is
designated in the GMS as appropriate for the development of neighborhood centers, and densities are
Intended to be high enough to require full municipal services, averaging 4 dwelling units per acre.
Tract 02 is located within a designated mixed-use urban center,located on the west side of 1-35W,
extending north from Crawford Road Urban centers are intended to allow a mix of coordinated, high
Intensity land uses, including retail, office, high density residential, and corporate-based employment
facilities The Planning Policies also stress that managed growth is dependent upon efficient and
coordinated provision of transportation and utility systems, in recognition that these municipal services
are the building blocks for community health and quality of life.
Additional Backaround: ETJ and CCN Issues
Recent events have raised concerns that efforts to manage growth and coordinate municipal services
are being threatened Owners of property located At the far south extremes ofthe city's ETJ have �
attempted to form a Fresh Water Supply District(FWSD), intended to provide independent water (j;. '
service instead of connecting to the City of Denton Utilities system. If the F%%1SD is allowed to
provide water to ETJ properties, land can be subdivided and platted at high densities despite potential
strain on other services. State law establishes the limits of ETJ for all Texas cities, and for Denton, the
ETJ extends Na miles from the city limit line State law appears to protect cities by prohibiting the
establishment of political subdivisions inside the ETJ without a city's consent (FWSD's ate political
1
i
t
subdivisions) In addition, the exclusive authority to provide water and wastewater services appears to
be assigned to the city through its CenifIcale of Convenience and Necessity(CCN), a permit issued by
the Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission(TNRCC). However, attorneys experienced in
state land use and water law have concluded that state legislative amendments continue to evolve in
favor of FWSD's and MUD's (Municipal Utility Districts),and that Denton's ETJ and CCN powers
may not be strong enough to prevent the formation of these political subdivisions The City of Denton
has taken legal action to counter the efforts taken by the FWSD.
Fresh Water Supply Districts are not always considered a negative influence to the provision of
services to communities in Texas, particularly in areas where municipal services are not available,
However, the FWSD that has annexed a portion of the City of Denton ETJ poses several problems:
♦ No effort was made to coordinate services with the City of Denton The provision of water
increases demand for other utilities that can stress the city budget,requiring a disproportionate
allocation of resources to the detriment of taxpayers and utility rate payers.
The City of Denton's state certification to provide water and sewer services within its CCN
boundaries is intended to provide assurance that proper planning and investment in capital
improvements can be possible. A water line extension planned to extend south along U.S 377
(Fort Worth Drive)could result in a"stranded Investment" if property owners are allowed to
select another provider,
a The provision of water services in the Hickory Creek watershed poses special concern given
the Net that sanitary sewer system Improvements have not yet been planned nor implemented.
Without proper planning and coordination, City of Denton raw water supply, which is drawn
from an intake located on the Hickory Creek branch of Lewisville Lake, could suffer severe
deterioration. All Denton water users would be impacted by such a problem.
4 FWSD's, which are governed by a self-selected Board of Directors,are empowered to use
bonds to borrow funding to pay for utility Improvements. Property owners within the district
then pay taxes levied by the board to pay for the improvements Issues of double taxation pose
equity issues, and the debt issued by the district represents a long-term liability.
4 With services available, property in the district can be subdivided, platted, and developed at
urban densities without compliance with city zoning regulations. During a period of rapid
growth, the district could stimulate development inconsistent with City of Denton planning
efforts, effecti :ly negating objectives to manage growth to the benefit of all citizens.
N # FWSD's and MUD's have been known to fail Such an event would certainly cause great
difficulties for the residents and property owners within the district,but Denton could also
experience the problems posed by bailout responsibilities.
Additional Background:Annexation &Service PI" Issues
Annexation of En areas is the highest level of protection afforded to cities to manage growth and
coordinate municipal services Once inside the city limits, areas subject to development pressure will
have to comply with all of the development regulations deemed necessary by City Council to protect
public health, safety, and welfare.
Asper state law a service plan has been prepared and is attached to each ordinance Because the tracts
ri1 to be annexed are for the most part undeveloped, immediate demand for services Is low. No
households were found in any of the tracts. All properties within the annexed tracts will be entitled to
police and fire protection, solid waste collection, and road maintenance within 60 days of the effective
1

t.

I
date of the annexation(the effective date of annexation is projected to be June g1h 1999;by September
e, 1999, the aforementioned service would be required to be available) Fire protection will be
provided at first from existing stations, and a new Station 07 will be programmed to be constructed in
the vicinity of the 1.35W I F.M. 2449 intersection
In addition, the service analyses and service p:eu describe the methods by which utilities and other
services will be provided. Of primary importance are water and sewer services. Improvements
Intended to serve the annexed tracts mast,by state law,begin construction within 2 years and be
completed within 4%, years. Required projects are Identified in the service plan, inching A major
water lire extension southward along U.S. 377. A variety of options are being considered to deliver
wastet+ater services, including a line extension from the Hickory Creek interceptor sewer system to
onskt treatment plants that would operated and maintained by the City of Denton. These and other
services will be made available in proportion the demand caused by new development.
OPTIONS
Approval of the ordinances on second reading is the last action to be taken by City Council, and ends
the annexation process for the affected tracts As occurred during the April 20 first readings,the
ordinances should be considered and subjected to vote separately. Amendments to the ordinances can
be made without invalidating the siate•mandated schedule for annexation, but would delay the final
vote on second reading for a minimum of 30 days.
RECO;MM ENDATION
StaffrecommeWs that the annexation process for Tracts 01, Y2,and M3 should proceed as scheduled.
T'he service plan indicates that feasible course of service provision is available, implementation of the
service plan, along with the annexation,will enable the City of Denton to meet its CCN obligations,
Implement zoning regulations in the annexed areas,and allow realization of the city's Growth
Management Strategy. If the Denton•Nonhlake interlocal agreement is signed, or if the status of an ,
egreement with the owners of Tract p3 can be reached, gaffwill make changes to these
recommendations on hfay 256i.
ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECC
The annexation process,if followed according to the schedule attached as Exhibit F, will be completed
by May 251', 1999.

i Afler consideration of the annexation ordinances, Council is scheduled to hold a public hearing to hear
comments regarding the proposed temporary Agricultural("A") zoning for Tracts NI, N2,and 03, and
consider approval of the associated ordinances. If approved, the effective date of the ordinances will
be June Wh, 1999, which is the same effective date of the invuluntary annexations of Tracts N I, 02, and
03,
The ordinances are required to establish the legal validity of the temporary Agricultural zoning for
each tract that becomes newly annexed In the absence of a specific zoning application submitted by the ,t
property owner The annexation ordinances prepared for Council consideration also contain provisions j�;•
to assign %gricultural zoning to the annexed tracts, but do not contain the penalty clause(maximum
penalty of 52,000 W for violations)needed to validate and enforce city zoning regulations. Ifthe
annexation ordinancex were amended to add the penalty clause, the ordinances would have to be re-
I
fc
M
published in the newspaper, and Council would have to wait another 30 days to approve the
ar„cx2tions.
During a Special Called meeting on May l9'", 1999,the Planning&zoning Commission
recommended approval of the temporary Agricultural zoning for the tracts by a vote of 7-0.
Discussions with the owners of Tract#1 and Tract #3 have led to consideration of mutual agreements
regarding the coordination of annexation and zoning approvals. Tract#1, owned by Robson
Communities, Inc., is also subject to a voluntary annexation petition that includes land currently
located Inside the Town of Northlake extraterritorial Jurisdiction(ET1). If a Denton-Northlake
interlocal agreement is executed before May 25t%staff will recommend that tl.e involuntary annexation
ordinance for Tract#1 be withdrawn in favor of the voluntary petition. A Planned Development
zoning application maybe submitted in the near future with respect to Tract#3,owned by the fluff nes
family. Negotiations regarding both of these tracts are not yet complete. Any changes that may affect
the involuntary annexations will also affect the attached zoning ordinances, and will be reported to
Council on May 25'",
OPTIONS
The options related to the affected tracts are more closely related to the annexation actions than the
zoning classifications. Should Council wish to consider other use designations for the tracts, separate
procedures would have to be followed, as per the city's zoning crdinancc
RECObINIENDATIQN
Staff recommends that the zoning ordinances for Tracts #I, #2,and #3 should proceed in correlation
with the progress of related annexations. If the annexations do not occur,the zoning ordinances will
not be considered by Council.
if the Denton-Northiake interlocal agreement is signed,or Iran agreement with the owners of Tract#3
can be reached, staff will make changes to these recommendations on Slay 25'".

The zoning ordinances,if approved, will take effect June 811, 1999.

AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET
AGENDA DATE: May 25, 1999
DEPARTMENT: Legal
CITY ATTORNEY: Herbert L. Prouty, 349-8333
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance amending Article IV "Planned Development Districts" of
Chapter 35 "Zoning" of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Denton to provide for time limits
on all steps and processes it the planned development districts; providing for certain action by
the Planning & Zoning Comr ission and the City Council in the event that steps in the process
are not timely completed; providing for consideration of the conformance of a particular planned
development district to the comprehensive plan and other Denton land use policies and regula-
tions; providing for a penalty not to exceed $2,0001&violations of this ordinance; providing a
severability clause; and providing a savings clause.
BACKGROUND
Attached is a rough drall of the planned devclopme,,! ("PD') sunsetting ordinance, which you
will consider at your May 25, 1999 work session. The ordinance Includes the following con-
cepts:
1. Time limits will be established for each stop of the PD process, including the filing and ap-
proval of the concept plan, dcvelopmcnl plan, detailed plan, and the application for s build-
ing permit and commencement of construction. You will need to determine the length of the
time limits.
2. Notificalion to the property owner sixty days before t' a time limits expire will be required.
]'he property owner swill be notified in the event that it, expiration of the time limits triggers
the staying of additional steps in the process .rnd possible rezoning in accordance with the
Zoning Enabling Pct and Chapter 35 of the City Code.
3. Following the usual public notice and public hearing procedures, the Planning & Zoning
Commission and the City Council will consider the expired PD. The Council will ultimately
make n determination as io whether the existing PD can continue with the current land
uses to proceed in the process, whether additional conditions will be placed on the PD to
allow it to continue to proceed through the process,or whether the property will be rezoned, r
In making this decision, the Council will consider the current PD's compatibility with the
comprehensive plan,the growth management strategy,surrounding land uses, and whether or
not the rezoning of the property would create a hardship on the property ow-rer, The Council
may agree to allow the applicant to continue in the process. It may place any conditions it
c
f
't
deems necessary on the planned development, including placing additional time limits on the
next steps in the process.
This is just an outline and first draft of the ordinance. 1 will be discussing the ordinance in some
detail with Terry Morgan and Dave Hill. This will include discussing how the ordinance may be
affected by the recently passed House Bill 1704, the new vested rights statute. We are all con-
cerned about Section 245.005 "Dormant Projects"of the vested rights law,which states that after
the first anniversary of the effective date of the Act (May 11, 1949), a regulatory agency may
enact an ordinance, rule, or regulation that places an expiration date on a permit as of the first
anniversary of the effective date of the vested rights statute. Since permit Is defined so broadly
In the Act, this may mean that we cannot enact this ordinance setting time limits on steps in the
process until May 11, 2000, or that we will have to make the effective date of the ordinance May
11, 2000. Terry and I are researching this and other matters and hope to have answers to these
questions by your May 25s' work session. Additional changes may be made to the ordinance
prior to the work session. These will be discussed with you.
OPTIONS
I. Pass the ordinance as written.
2. Pass the ordinance with changes as recommended by Council
3. Reject the ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION
If a majority of the Council is concerned about older planned developments which do not con- r
form with surrounding land uses and current land use regulations and policies, this ordinance
provides a way to bring non-conforming planned developments into line with the current com-
prehensive plan and other land use regulations, I would recommend this approach of staying
steps in the process and resubmitting the matter to the Council for a determination upon expira-
tion of time limits as an acceptable method of addressing this matter.

ess under the existing planned development ordinances until the planned development zoning has

SUBJECT
Receive a report, hold a discussion and give instructions to staff regarding the draft Fry Street
Small Area Plan.
BACKGROUNQ
The Fry Street Small Area Pian is the first in n series of specific community plans to build on the
work of the Denton Comprehensive plan,which is currently under review. While the
comprehensive plan sets a frsmework for planning and strategy development for the entire City
of Draton,the small area plan supplements the comprehensive plan with more detail necessary
to guide everyday community development decisions.
The Fry Street planning area is identified as the area bounded by Welch Street to the east, Oak
Street to the north, Ave B to the northwest, Ave A to the southwest and Mulberry Street to the
south. The Fry Street planning area is approximately 112 mile from downtown Denton,Texas. 3
The Fry Street area was selected as a small area planning candidate because of its uniqueness and ?
because the condition of the Fry Street Area is of ongoing Interest to area stakeholders.
The Fry Street area,because of its proximity to the University of North Texas(UNT),is unique
in the sense that it basically serves as a downtown area for UNT. There are a variety of
amenities and conveniences that are within walking distance in this area. The area caters to a
large population of students, faculty and area residents. As a result, there are problems
associated with traffic congestion and parking. In addition,the physical appearance, area
aesthetics and the a,.idition of facilities and streets in the area are among the most frequent items
of concern noted by area residents. There area number of examples of unappealing physical
conditions in the Fry Street and surrounding vicinity,including boarded up structures, graffiti,
litter, furniture in yards, poor dumpster location and maintenance. Tito lack of organized cleanup,
poor property maintenance, the prevalence of traffic hazards at street intersections,the need for
traffic movement improvements and sidewalk repairs we all areas of concerns for area residents.
Social concerns include drug and property related crimes,adequate delivery of social services,
vandalism, and public intoxication. Many area residents are sensitive about widespread
perceptions of the community as one of crime,transience and disinvestment. There is
widespread belief that future investments will be suppressed by such stigmas.
The public meeting prow.-ss for the plan was officially initiated February 1999. To dnit, eight
public meetings and several additional meetings with the Denton Policy Committee (DPC)and
the Fry Street Development Corporation(FSDC)were held to discuss the small area planning
process, area concerns and tactical solutions. The schedule is presented below:

1. INTRODUCTION
The Review Process
Small area planning is a process that provides analysis,recommendations, and implementation
guidelines for a specific area of Denton. A small area planning dxument is produced to address
areas in greater detail than the comprehensive plan and to cover existing characteristics, trends,
issues, and opportunities for the area. Through a review process with residents,business owners
and other stakeholders in a specific area,a framework of recommendations on future land use,
transportation,and public improvements are formulated, This framework will a sist decision-
makers in making decisions and will guide the case-by-case development of an urea.
A small area plan maybe for a neighborhood,it business district,a corridor,or a new public
facility site. Requests for small area plans may come from many sources including City Council,
the Planning and Zoning Commission, the Denton Policy Committee(DPC),and citizens. Once
a conceptual small area planning document is developed and presented for public comment, it
will be forwarded to City Council for review and adoption by resolution.
Citizens are involved in the small area planning process from the earliest stages. Citizens have
the best understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of their neighborhood. The small area
planning process provides citizens with an opportunity to present information and facts to the
City Council,Planning and Zoning Commission,and other appointed boards and commissior4i
The development of small area plans allows the public an opportunity to become better educe,
about the planning process.
Because small area planning is an interdisciplinary approach to planning,it also relies on the
cooperation of all City of Denton departments and other governmental entities. Ilowever,the
success of any small area plan depends on the involvement of residents,business owners, ,
landowners and other stakeholders. Refer to figure 1,p.2.
Project Coals and Objectives
There area number orgoals and objectives for the small area planning process. The goals and
objectives relate to the planning process and not the nctual plan. They are;
• Assist residents and businesses in developing priorities and strategies to stimulate
rcvitalitation and reinvestment in the area

leadership
• Present existing conditions and trends to provide a picture of the planning area
Identify strengths and concerns of residents, merchants and other stakeholders within the
area
rr Enable stakeholders to share ideas and suggestions about their community A ,
• Promote understanding of the process and enthusiasm frn further participation In later / 1

Relationship to the Comprehensive Plan
The Fry Street Small Area Plan is the first in a series of specific community plans to build on the
work of the Denton Co niprchensive plan, which is currently under review. The comprehensive
plan sets it framework for planning and strategy development for the entire City of Denton. The
small area plans supplement the comprehensive plan with more detail necessary to guide
everyday community development decisions.
How to use this document
This document is the Fry Street community's image of its future. It was prepared with the
involvement and help of the community. Neighborhood residents,business pitrons,property
owners,visitors and business people shared their evenings and altemoons to Felp craft a
meaningful document. This plan represents their combined efforts to enhance and preserve the
Fry Street area.
As a response to issues identified by the community, this plan represents a determination to
pursue goals and visions established by and for the Fry Street study area. The goals lay the
foundation for achieving the kind of community this plan envisions. This plant contains 19 goal
statements,which deal with solid waste services, transportation,safety,community aesthetics
and character,culture and the neighborhood. These goal statements Identify what the community
wants to achieve. Because goals cannot be achieved without a clearly defined plan of action,this
plan also contains recommendations that identify the course of action necessary to achieve the
community's goals. Furthermore,to help ensure accountability for implementation of the
recommendations, an organization or agency has been assigned responsibility and is identified in
the implementation section of this document,
t
This document should be used to help guide public and private development and reinvestment
decisions made In the City of Denton's Fry Street area over the next several years. These
decisions must continue to define,shape and improve the character of the Fry Street area and
l»sitivcly affect its sustalnability.
This plan includes:
• A brief history of the Fry Street area's development
a A rcvicw of existing.:onditions in the Fry Street area
• Recommendations to facilitate area improvements
s An "action plan" ldentil),ing specific projects and funding sources for area improvements
In order to foster community-wide support and effective maintenance of the plan and its goals,
continued involvement of area stakeholders and Denton citizens is critical. All Denton residents
must know that the concerns and issues addressed in this plan are not solely cmtcems and
problems of the Fry Street area, separable from the rest of Denton. They are everyone's concem,
The Fry Street plan is designed to provide realistic and feasible recommendations for the t, E
revitalisation of the area. however, to be realistic,the plan recognizes the limitations of public ' f,
financing resources and the need for ne••v partnerships between public agencies snd the
community, in which the community takes a greater responsibility for its revitalization,

11. AREA BOUNDARIES AND OVERVIEW
Location
The initial stage of the plan's development involved a survey created by tW Small Area Planning
staff that asked merchants,residents,property owners and customers to identify the Fry Street
study area boufidary. The results of the boundary survey indicetod that the Fry Street
Development Corporation's boundary would be the plan's study area. Staff decided that a larger
area covering Census Tracts:07 and 210,both block groups 1 and 2 would be designated as the
area intpacted by the small area plan recommendations. This impact area is also the notification
area and includes the Oak/Hickory Historic District and UNf. Refer to Figure 24,pgs. 4-6.
For pur,)oses of this study,the Fry Street planning area is defined as the area bounded by Welch
Street to the cast,Oak Street to the north,Ave B to the northwest, Ave A to the southwest and
Mulberry Street to the south. The Fry Street planning area is approximately AS miles from
downtown Denton,Texas and this area contains approximately 18.9 acres. Geographically,the
terrain of the plan area slopes to the southeast to Garza-Little Elm Reservoir,Refer to Figure 4,
pg. 6.

History
A history of the Fry Street area's development is closely associated with the early beginnings of
the University of North Texas. In 1891, the Texas Nom al College,known today as The
University of North Texas, opened its first building in the Fry Street Area. Hickory Street bound
the original campus on the north, Sycamore Street on the south,Avenue B on the west and
Avenue A on the cast. There were nearly 185 students attending at this time,
Residential development in the Fry Street area(mainly Oak and hickory Streets)is significant to
Denton's history and was impacted by the University of North Texas campus. The first major
residential area of Denton is Lelieved to have been south of the square. The second, during the
1880s,was east of the square,between the square and the new railroad. The third,greatly
influenced by the presence of the Texas Normal College,occurred between the square and the
new campus,down Oak and Hickory Streets and included today's Fry Street area. A few
elaborate houses and churches existed in the area, however by the 1900s and alter, the most
attractive new residential area, which included the more elaborate houses in Denton, was west of
the square and around the Fry Street area,
Another inllucnee on the attractive residential development of this area was the Denton Fair
Association,which was organized on May 16, 1895, The Fair Association acquired a tract of
land for the fair grounds which occupied roughly the areabctween Welch Street and Avenue A
and extended southward from West Hickory Street to Mill Street. There were almost no homes
west and south of the fair grounds before 1900. Alter the Normal College became a state
institution there was increased demand for building lots in the neighborhood of the College. The
Denton County Fair Association abandoned the grounds and the land was sold as residential lots.
After that, many new homes were built in the neighborhood, By 1909,West Oak and Hickory I
Streets had become the favorite area for fine palatial homes and soon thereafter had more 1
residenecs than the older parts of the town. This area of posh homes along West Oak and
Hickory Slreets was known as "Silk Stocking Row". Today,the area is referred to as the Oak•
Ilickory Ifistoric District.
While influencing upscale residential development in the area surrounding the college and west
of the square, UNT's presence also brought about irreversible changes to the residential integrity
and character of the neighborhoods in the of the Oak-hickory area. While the exact date Is not
known, a number of the houses on Oak and Hickory Streets in the Fry Street area were tom down
and a number of commercial establishments had began to infiltrate the area between Carroll
Boulevard and Welch Street. Changes in UNT's student body enrollment also affected changes
in the residential make-up and character of the area,
By 1901, the student body had risen to 781 and by 1923, the school's population had increased to
4,736. As student enrollment continued to rise, the demand for student services also grew. In i
order to meet this demand, business houses for college trade were established along Avenue A A
and Hickory Sh-cis in what would later be referred to as the Fry Street Area. This area consisted
mostly of comn cretai development between Oak and Hickory from Welch to Avenue C,and
intensive, privately owned, student aperlmcnl developments, Today, the Fry Street area is
primarily commercial,
I
r
Voertman's Teacher College Store
? opened along Hickory Street In 1925.
This three-story building originally
served as a boarding house for female
students. Vocrt:nan's and the Eagle
w col.W1. r t >�N
Drugstore, located near the corner of t
Avenue A and Hickory were popular
student hangouts in the 1940s. Today,
Vocrlman's is a well-established
commercial anchor operating in the „
area as a college bookstore. Undeveloped lots were numerous along Fry Street and were
eventually developed into small corner grocery stores,drug stores and various eating
establishments.
By the 1940s, Ihcre were a few homes remaining along Avenue A between Hickory and
Alulbcrry Streets. These homes were eventually converted for business purposes. In 1944, Joe's
Cleaners,another long standing business,opened in a 14 Y 19 sq. n.space which has since been
converted and rebuilt in the location
that it is presently in today. Also by
the 1940s, IIickory Street and
Avenue A quickly became a favorite
spot for all students to socialize, It
became known as the"Comer"and _.� irtinr
has since become an institution on
the campus: The streets in the area
during this time were appropriately
called"Collegclown."
The Fry Sirect area also played a
significant role in transportation Y " ""
advances made in the City of Donlon.
In 1696, a franchise for a street railway was granted by the city, In 1900,an electric streetcar line
ran Pm the railroad depot along East Hickory to the square,then out Oak to Fry Street,where it
jogged to Hickory. The tine went out Ilickory to Avcnue C, south to Eagle, and then to Highland
Park. The connection of(his system with the railroad and an Interurban railroad provided an
t' I
•
I
a
important linkage between Dallas and Denton and it also provided economical and efficient
transportation within the City of Denton.
The 1950s and 1960s proved to be eras of tremendous growth for the Fry Street area. UNT grew
to 7,480 students by 1960 and added nineteen new structures. New storefronts had replaced
almost every home in tl,a Fry Street area, and students were offered a large variety of
neighborhood services. Much of the icgacy of the 1930s and 1960s is reflected in today's Fry

Street area, Businesses continue to thrive,however the increasing numbers of students and
patrons frequenting the Fry Street area have caused and continue to cause problems with traffic
and parking. These problems are discussed in more detail In a Iater section of the plan.
r ,
1 Ito 6 cincsscs in the Fry Street area have changed ownership and the land use canvas has been
redone many times in the past 70 years. The Fry Street area continues to play an important role
in the life of UN'f college students. UNT's Influence remains strong and the students, merchants
and residents together have made the Fry Street area a place of significance in Denton.

Ill. EXISTING CONDITIONS
IMPACT'AREA
Demograpbics and Socloeconomic Profile
With any pla:ming activity,it is necessary to review current conditions in order to determine
trends taking place. By doing so, the City can better effectively face future issues and problem
areas to be addressed in a small area plan, At the present time, the most complete and reliable
source of demographic information is the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Census
Enumeration. The census bureau provides its most comprehensive package of population and
demographic Information every ten years, Geographical areas known as standard metropolitan
statistical areas(SI ISA),block numbering areas(13NA), and census tracts group census data.
Census tract data is further aggregated to a block group level,
The Fry Street study area is located west of downtown Denton and is partially located in Census
Tract 207,block group 2 and Census Tract 210,block group 1. Since block group data is the
most sggregatcd data available from the Bureau of Census Enumeration, A demographic
and socioeconomic profile of just the Fry Street study area Is not possible. However, a
profile of the Impact area is possible. The impact area Includes block groups 1 and 2 from both
Ccnsut Tract 207 and Census Tract 210. Refer to Figure J.pg. A
The data and geographic areas differ from decennial periods, Therefore, a comparison of 1980
and 1990 block groups Is not possible, Demographic and socio-economic Information presented
in this plan only includes selected 1990 block group data and as a tool for comparison, 1990 City ,
of Denton census statistics are also provided. Refer to Table 1,pg. if,
Population
population is constantly changing and statistics covering a sprat of 10 years are not generally up
to date,especially in the tatter part of the decade. However,the impact area has been mostly a
college area since the 70's and While students tend to be transitional in this area, it can be
reasonably argued that the demographic composition and makeup of the student population
remains relatively the same. The composition of the impact area minors the City's population
make-up, In 1990,the impact area population totaled 6,201. The majority of the population in
the impact area was between the ages of 1834 (84,5%), Blacks and Hispania made up only
7.41,;end 9.2%,respectively while Whi' :s accounted for 73%of the area's population. The 1990
Population for the City of Denton was 66,210. 1be majority of,he population was between 18•
64 and prcalominamly While (78°10). Blacks and Hispanics accounted for 18%of the population.
1 he number of dwellings totaled 1,907 rot the impact area. Eighty-nine percent arc occupied and At
the remaining 11% are vacant. The impact area contalned substantially more renter•occupled
housing units. Approxlmatcl) 90%of the occupied units were renter-occupied.

Nearly 79%of all dwellings were multi-ramily residential. By comparison,the number of
dwellings for the City of Denton totaled 28,791. Eleven percent of all the dwelling units are
vacant There were slightly more renter-occupied housing units than owner-occupied.
Approximately 61%of the occupied units were renter occupied, Buth multifamily and single
family residential accounted for 46%of all housing units.
Socio-economic Characteristics
The average median family income for the impact area was $23,185. Because of the large LtNT
student population living throughout the impact area, 23%of the area residents lived below
poverty level in 1990. The unemployment rate was 18%. The median family income for the
City or Denton was$33,444. Approximately 18% ofthe City's population lived below poverty
level, The unemployment rate for the entire City of Denton in 1990 was 33%.
FRV STREET STUDY AREA
Land Use
The pattern of land use in the Fry Street study area is an array that resembles older parts of many
cities. It contains both non-residential and residential development that is an eclectic mix of
homes, businesses and services, Refer to Figure 5,pg. 13.
The Fry Street study area's residential population is comprised mostly of tenants and renters,
wish only one owner-occupied home remaining. The Fry Street area's residential development
consists primarily of small-scale apartments, usually 2 to 8-unit buildings, These multi-family
units are located on Fry, Hickory and Mulberry streets, There is a large concentration of single-
family uses immediately outside the Fry Strcct study area in the area identified as the Impact
area. The majority of the mulls-family dwellings in the Fry Street and surrounding area were
originally built as single-family owncr•occupicd homes. however, many of them a;v currently
leased. The Oak-1 lickory historic district is immediately east of the Fry Street study area and the
University of North 'rexas campus is immediately south.
Must of the rry Strect area is composed of non-residenlial,commercial development
Comrrtcrcial'retaii uses in the Fry Street area are directed towards the University market and
hiclude uses such as bookstores,restaurants/bars, and general merchandiseiservice retail(barber
s'tops,dry cleaners,cw ). There is rclalivcly little office development within the Fry Street area
fhc existing office uses(First State Bank and The Associates)co-exist with retail and can be
considered another fort of relait'commercial use. Institutional uses fall within the study and
impact areas and are affiliated with religious organisations and the University of North Texas.
There is only one undeveloped lot located within the Fry Street area, This lot fronts Oak and Fry
Streets end is currently owned by the Delta Lodge organisation, The previous structure,
occupied by Delta Lodge members,burned several years ago. At the time of this report,there 1
are four vacant businesses and one vacant residential dwelling. The vacanl buildings are located
at 103 Welch, 105 Welch, I I I Welch and 1109 W, Oak. The vacant residential dwelling is
being used as storage for the auto repair station located on the corner of ilickory and Welch.

The critical Iand use challenge in the Fry Street area is not to accommodate major new
development,but rather to take the necessary smaller steps to revitalize the existing community.
Protection of this mature urban place is crucial to the stakeholders.
Zoning
The Fry Street study area's pattern of land use development is not necessarily representative of
its zoning pattern. There are four zoning districts in the Fry Street area that cover both
residential and non-residential development. Refer to Figure 6,pg. JS.
i41F-2/Multi-Family Residential—The MF-2 district is located in the southeastern corner of the
Fry Street area at Mulberry and Welch Streets. This district contains three lots,which includes
one multi-unit residential dwelling and the Church of Jesus Christ or Latter Uay Saints. The
University of North Texas campus,which falls in the impact area, also falls in the MF-1 District.
The b1F-2 District also allows certain educational, institutional and special uses.
N&Ncighborhood Service —The NS district Is immediately north of the MF-2 district at the
southwest corner of Hickory and Welch Streets. This district includes the only single-family
detached owner-occupied dwelling, a single-family detached renter-occupied dwelling, a two-
unit multi-family dwelling and a four unit multi-family dwelling. The NS zoning on these
properties was meant to provide an adequate transition between the existing retail uses on 1
lint vey and the properties to the south and east. Originally,the request to change the zoning to
a to accommodate an antique shop in the single-family dwelling. The antique shop was
r :r located in the NS district.
P/Parking—The P district is located in the southern block of the Fry Street area and is directly
adjacent to the NIF-2 district. The lot was originally zoned MF-1,but in 1969 the property was
rezoned to P. Research of the zoning case has not produced surficlent Information explaining
why the property was rezoned to P. At present, there is a multi-unit residential dwelling
occupying the property.
GR'Gcncral Retail — The bulk of the Fry Street area is zoned GR and allows for a variety of
educational, commercial, retail,recreational, entertainment and limited residential uses. A
majo-ity of the area is developed with business uses.
Building and Development Activity
1 he normal process of continuous investment, to maintain the strength orthe area's
neighborhoods,has been constrained and limilcd in much of this area for a number of years.
there appears to be a backlog of dcrerred maintenance,both private and public. Restored
investment is accdcd. Since the area is essentially land locked,vacant buildings and z w
undeveloped land are few and parking is very limited,growth and expansion are contained. " f ) N
There are no large tracts of land to be developed,urban services already exist. Investment
opportunity in this area is mostly for reuse of land or buildings and in a few cases for
rode vclopntent, The recent repaving of one of the Iwo public off-street parking lots In the area

and the reuse of a previously existing night club into a unique coffee shop do give notice of renewed
commitment and in;crest in the Fry Street area. Street and utility work and other capital infrastructure
investment,public/private redevelopment ventures, renewed LINT interest in its community setting,
and CM-nunity rehabilitation initiatives will also serve as an indicator of renewed commitment to the
Fry Street area, Ways to use the area's attributes and existing resources can preserve and protect
efforts already made, stimidole site and building cleanup and prompt restoration work for existing uses.
Pttrktng
The pattern of land development found in the Fry Street area is more typical of downtown Denton than
other general retail districts in the city. Like downtown, it predates current zoning regulations too.
This pattern of development emphasizes building area and limited parking space. It was common that
a structure would occupy the entire lot and that parking would be located along the street. As such,
businesses in this neighborhood have had a difficult time satisfying parking regulations, in fact,most
of the businesses in this area provided off-street parking by leasing parking spaces on adjacent
propciliea A review of previous requests by business and property owners in this area far variances
from parking regulations reveals the site-specific parking problems that have arisen because the Fry
Street area has developed as a busincssrcustomer retail area adjac<nt to the University of North Texas.
Dating back to the early 1970s,there are thirteen(13)variance request,within the Fry Street area in
the Zoning Board of Adjustments(ZBA) files. Fight(8)of the requests were approved,one was
temporary in length; three(3) were denied;one was tabled and no record exists of it being reconsidered i
and one contains no record ors.decision, The cumulative effect of these variances and the Increasing
dependence on the automobile by area residents and students has had a detrimental effect on parking
and transportation in the Fry Street area,
The Fry Street area,because of its proximity to LINT,is an extremely congested area. Funhermore,
most of the establishments in this area are not in compliance with the City's parking regulations
becaus, 'i-cy are legally nonconforming uses, OIT-street parking opportunities for existing or new
businc;..t do not exist in the Fry Street area and on-street parking is limited during peak times.
During the morning and noon hours, UNT students take much of the metered parking spaces in order to
attend classes. Their actions usually serve to displace customers of the area businesses and other
students to park into the residential areas adjacent to the Fry Street area.
On-street parking consists primarily of perpendicular and angled head-in metered spaces. There are
approximately 106 metered on-strc^t parking spaccs, The metered on-street parking Is regulated for I
hour limits. There are additional parking spaces without meters located on the south side of Oak Street
and the north side of hickory Street. The parking spaces not metered do not have time limits. Some
however du have"No Parking"restrictions. Throughout the Fry Street area,there are over 400 parking
spaces.
Crcnerally,off-street parking is dedicated and signed for private commercial/retail or residential A ,
development. 01T-street parking in areas other than commercial development is contained in small lots
or head-in parking spaces located adjacent to roadways, Within Fry Street, only No priv%tely owned
off-street parking lots are available for public use at a premium,offering a total of 214 off-street
spaces. At present, the 114-space lot located behind the shops on the east side of Fry Street charges for
16 `
t,
parking. The 110-space Park N' Go lot located behind the buildings on the east side of Ave A is the
other public off-street lot which has also been I .ascd to shop owners for customer use. There is a
charge per day depending on the time orday. Contract parking is also offered: There is a 22-space lot
for Teacher's World rmployccs and residents of the multi-family dwelling on Hickory Street. Other
parking lots include two 10•space lots in the front and back ofloe's Copies,a 45-space lot behind
Vocrtman's Bookstore and a 126-space lot around the Associates. Free parking Is available for
customers only in these lots. Other smaller lots exist but are for the private use of commercial
customers or members of area churches. Towing is strictly enforced in these areas. Refer to Figures

Traffic Circulation
External circulation to the area is achieved from the cast and west directions by way of two primary
roadways, Oak and hickory and a third,Mulberry Street. Oak is a one•way street heading west and
Hickory is a one-way street heading cast. Mulberry permits both cast and west travel: North/South
trat-cl to and from the study area is mainly from Fry/Ave: A via Nfutbcrry Street, Mc, fd and Welch
Streets. Access to and from the south is limited because of the University campus. Access to and from
the Fry Street area involves through-traffic in the surrounding residential areas. In an effort to enhance
Irafiic circulation,reduce accidents and increase crossing movements in the area, the City Council is
currently reviewing a proposal to A, - t

Hickory and Highland Streets between the hours of 7:30 a.m, and 3:00 p.m.
Internal north/south movement is facilitated
through Fry/Ave, A, Ave. 8 and Welch
Streets. Eastiwesl movement within the
stud area is circuitous due to the one-way r
Y
direction of Hickory and Oak Streets.
Traffic flow in all directions is somewhat
inhibited because of narrow circulation
aisles, lane blockage due to large delivery
trucks,on-street parking,pedestrian activity 4
and high student concentrations in the area.
There are peak congestion periods,
particularly in the momii,gs and aflemoons

+. Sreets are classified as primary arterial streets and are j
designated to carry 20,000 vehicles per day or more.
However, an acceptable traffic volume for a two-lane residential collector street is aboul 5,000 vehicles
per day. The level of risk that a pedestrian Is subjected to when crossing W. Hickory Sired is
extremely high.
Public transit service is available in the area. The"Gruen" fixed route stops on Welch Street at

W. AREA ISSUES AND FINDINGS IDENTIFIED
Citizen Participation Review
In the winter and spring of 1498,six Fry Street area plan meetings were held at Grace Temple Baptist
Church, which is located in the impact/notification area. The community stakeholders worked with the
Fry Street area team to identify,discuss,refine and resolve community issues. The initial community
meeting set the tone on how the issues would be established and the necessary City resources available,
As mentioned earlier in this report,part of the planning process involved a survey that asked
merchants,residents, property owners and customers to identify the strengths and concerns of the Fry
Street Area and to identify the Fry Street study area boundary.The Fry Street Development
Corporation's(FSDC)boundary, a non•profa merchant's association in the Fry Street area, is the
plan's study area.
Two separate surveys were designed,one for area residents,merchants and property owners and
another for area customers. There were a total of 900 Surveys mailed and'or hand delivered. Of this
total, 800 were residenu'merchant surveys and 100 were customer surveys.
A total of 55 surveys (6.1 Md)were returned. Of the 800 resident/merchant/property owner surveys
sent out, 45(5.6%)were returned. Of the 100 customer surveys sent out, 10(100%)were returned. A

Stakebolder Identified Area Issues and Concerns
The condition of the Fry Street Area is of ongoing interest to area stakeholders,which include The
University of Not1h Texas,the Fry Street Development Corporation,merchants,business and pro"
owners and the City of Denton. Among the most frequent items noted by residents are physical
appearance and condition of facilities and streets in the area. Profound blight is absent from the Fry
Strout area. This is not an area of desperate deterioration,but one of stubborn and persistent pride.
'there are, however, many examples of unappealing physical conditions in the Fry Street and
surrounding vicinity,including boarded up structures,graffiti,litter,furniture in yards and poor
dumpster maintenance. Many of the meeting participants believe that neighborhood cleanup,stronger
code enforcement and better tenant screening are actions needed for positive change in the area. Other
issues include traffic hazards,street lights for security in addition to traffic movement,sidewalk repairs
I` and protection of natural and cultural resources. Refer to Figmre JD,pg. 25,
f Social conditions include concerns of crime,delivery of social services and commitment of community
resources. Better control of vandalism,public intoxication and drug crimes were high on the list of
public concerns,with the participants assigning a high priority to crime control. Many area residents
are sensitive about widespread perceptions of the community as one of crime,transience and
disinvestment. There is widespread belief that future investments will be suppressed by such stigmas.
Suggestions include increased police presence and greater sensitivity in police-community relations. A
few area stakeholders called also for a need for neighborhood-oriented private investment and for I
development of the vacant lot at Fry and Oak Streets.
i
A significant finding during the entire small area planning process was the lack of communication
among individuals, groups and agencies. Stakeholders revealed a strong desire to improve information
flow. Better communication is needed between City of Denton and Fry Street residents,government,
businesses and institutions,and between landlords and tenants in the Fry Street area. Hope for
improved media images of the Fry Street area for coverage of positive news was expressed repeatedly,

Sanirariar/Solld Waste Sendces
Issues:
Litter
Lack of City assistance
Inadequate dumpster service and perception of poor maintenance,appearance and location.
Stakeholder Sentiments:
Sanitation is the top concern of Fry Street area stakeholders. Of particular concern is litter,over filled
garbage containers and the perceived lack of City maintenance of area dumpstcrs,trashcans and street
maintenance. Litter often
accumulates in parking Sots;on w
streets, sidewalks and utility
poles when dumpstcrs are l
above capacity; and around
dumpstcrs and merchant's t� f
shops. The Fry Street Fair is
identified as a major 1 `�
contributor to the area's litter
and sanitation problems. {
Clcan-up following the fair is
often days to a week later.
Private property is often soiled
and desecrated during the
weekend of the fair.
Although new trashcans were r, �� !►�
placed throughout the area in
August 1997,they are cited as
unsightly and in need of ."
replacing. Many trashcans are
melted and contain holes. '`
Trashcans have been obsen ed y_
to be above capacity by 5,00
p.m. on weekdays and Saturdays. The fact that the City provides solid waste services for the trashcans
on the Square, but not in the Fry Street area also concerns stakeholders.
The appearance of the area dumpstcrs is also unsightly and in need of replacing. Stakeholders
complain that a couple of the dumpstcrs in the area block sidewalks and parts c f some streets. The
solid waste containers arc not shielded from street view which is not only a health issue when they are
over filled, but can cause traffic problems by decreasing visibility, Pedestrians often have to go around
dumpstcrs on the sidewalks. ✓,
Although solid waste users determine the collection schedule,the infrequency of the dumpster
collection conccros area stakeholders. The majority of the collection concerns are associated with the
dumpstcrs located on Fry Street and the dumpstcrs located behind the shops on Fry Street. A number
26

I
of the merchants using the dumpsters and causing them to overflow are currently not paying for
services. Stakeholders want to see the City take a stronger position by requiring additional dumpster
collection. Refer to Figure 11,pg. 28.
t The streets in the area are often dirty
s and filled with trash and debris.
Because only one street sweeper
;fi 1a f exists for the entire City of Denlon,
the frequency of street sweeping in
the Fry Street area is observed once a
f month.
There are a number of utility and
light poles located in the Fry Street
area, The proliferation of handbills
attached to the poles contributes to
the littered appearance of the area.
Several stakeholders desire to see the
complete elimination of utility poles
in the area to prevent handbill
posting. Refer to Figure 11,pg. 29.
According to stakeholders,centrally
located compactors are immediate
a:e."• solutions to dumpster concems. j
Security and lack of space for compactors are identifiable obstacles. Another approach to address the 1
trashcans is strategically placing sidewalk container,similar to those located on the square,in the area.
It is recognized that City officials and area merchants will need to agree on who will service the
containers and the frequency of collection.

Parking and Traffic
Issues:
More public parking needed
Nicters inadequate
Assigned or reserved parking
Poor traffic control
Proliferation of delivery trucks blocking lanes
Automobile accidents
Left turn signal lights needed
Stakeholder Sentiments:
Stakeholders believe that the available parking resources do not effectively serve the needs of the area.
'i he problem of students parking in merchant-customer spaces during the day, the lack of handicap
pa,king,and metered parking all top the list of parking concerns. Parking in the
area is further aggravated by the I-hour meter
limits. The I-hour meters appeal to many UNT
students who would rather park closer toWM ;r,
classrooms than in designated UNT parking ---- .
facilities. Often, UNIT facilities are more
expensive and are more rcuto' ed from ctsscs
nd the campus than the metered an,l non-
metered spaces. City enforcement of the meters ,
is I:mited and students are very much aware of
this. In many cases, students have been observed �'L
parking in metered spaces well in excess of the 1- r
hour limit without being f ncd. r
I landicrip parking is limited in the a.a. There are a total of two handicap-parking spaces. Bo.h of
these spaces arc located in front of the busincsses on Ave. A. The spaces, while identified as handicap,
are not very maneuverable and movement in and out of these spaces is difficult and restrictive.
In addition to parking problems associated with UNT students,according to some merchants, the
City's present parking requirements prevent the expansion of existing businesses. Parking
requirements also inhibit many opportunities for new and difTcrent kinds of businesses to locate in the
area. The City requires a specified number of off-street parking spaces for certain commercially toned
properties. If a proposed new use is more intensive than the existing legally non-conforming use,
additional parking is required. However, as mentioned earlier,off-street parking opportunities simply
do not cr isl in the Fry Street area. Refer to figures yh 8,pga, 18 A 19.
In addition.stakeholders indicated that the need for designated traffic areas, including bicycle i
corridors, and the proliferation of delivery trucks blocking stre in the area are key traffe concerns.
The narrow traffic lanes on Fry StI Mc. A are the most visib% oncems regarding traffic. Traffic + !
congestion in [his area includes large alcohol delivery trucks blocking traffic lanes at peak circulati,)n
perinds, automobiles cn.ering and exiting the angled metered parkins spaces(this parking strip is best
suited to sen a traffic flow ng nonhhound), and jaywalking to and Crom the UNT campus. The
30
i
distinction between pedestrian and 4 N"
automobile zones is less apparent in
this area and makes for a dangerous y
environment. � 1
Increased speeding along Hickory,
Ave.A and Fry Streets also
contributes to traffic congestion in
the area. The lack of warnings or ..
other visual indicators to alert
motorists that the area is highly g;
pedestrian-oriented is also a
perceived traffic concerts
i t Sidewalks in the area are not user.
friendly. Many of the sidewalks are
cracking and are uneven. Handicap
accessibility is inadequate and is further
.y t impoded by the poorly maintained
sidewalks. Ample are also spending
.
.M
more time on the sidewalks iratemizrng,
k t relaxing,entertaining and lingering
t aimlessly than is considered desirable.
Parking and traffic strategies include
one-way designation of some key two
N'' way streets the creation of loading
zones, limiting parking,requiring
parking permits for all uNr students,parking variances and limited parking inside the Fry Street area.
Increased communication and interaction with uNT is crucial.

Social Offenses/Safery
Issues:
LoiteringNagrancy/Panhandl i ng
Vandalism
Juvenile delinquency
Attraction of"bad crowd"element
Increased protection against crime
Stakeholder Sentiments:
As observations of the area indicate,the Fry Street area is not only a"hangoo"for college students,
but high school and middle school students,transients,runaways also. Fringe groups frequent the area
as well. Loitering,panhandling,vandalism and juvenile delinquency are key concerns. There aren't
any laws that spccificalIy address loitering and panhandling and this makes it difficult for police to
monitor and enforce these offenses. Vandalism is being addressed and minimized to a greater degree
with the presence of the Fry Street community center.
According to Denton police,juvenile delinquency has seen a marked decline since the community
office was located on Fry Street. However,there are still concerns regarding the absence of a teenage
curfew. Teenagers have been observed to regularly hangout in the area well after midnight.
Stakeholders indicate that 24-hour staffing of the police sub-station might reduce or completely
eliminate illegal activities by teenagers and others in the area.
Another safety issue is lighting in the area. While lighting has increased over the years,there are a
number of dark corridors. The Park N'Go lot,the area near the zebra House and the area
between Jack in the Box and Baris Restaurant are identified as darkly lit and potentially unsafe areas. f
Additional safety strategy recommendations include UNT police assistance with patrolling the area and
a commitment by the City to provide additional lighting in dark corridors.
Alcohol and Drugs
'I Issues:
Public drink ing1ntoxication
Underage drinking
Illicit drug use and distribution
Stakeholder Sentiments:
Public drinking and intoxication,underage drinking,and Driving Under the Influence(DUI's)are area
concerns. While it is legal to drink in public, according to police,the presence of full-time officers
and new laws dealing with drug and alcohol enforcement have greatly reduced the incidence of public
intoxication and underage drinking. As in most other cities,drug use and distribution are more
di fricult to control because there is such a high demand for drugs. One of the objectives of the two
full-time oMccrs that work the Fry Street area is to maintain continued pressure on the supply end. 1 r IN
There have been occasional"stings"and drug busts, According to area Stakeholders,these activities
must continue and must be increased.
32
r �
i
k
Other opportunities involve creating a working relationship with local and college newspapers to write
articles on drug tragedies and positive drug prevention activities,establishing a memorial in the Fry
Street area of victims who have succumb to the detrimental effects of di rg use and distribution and
expanding the"taxi service"concept offered /,y the owners of Cool Beans and Lucky Lou's.
Propero} Malnrenance
Issues:
Poor property maintenance
Dilapidated buildings
Stakeholder Sentiments:
Graffiti and dilapidated structures we the main issues related to property maintenance concerns.
Upkeep by property owners and renters and communication between neighbors,tenants,merchants,
etc. is severely lacking. Some rents-occupied properties in the area are identif,ri as not being,,
particularly well maintained. Trash tnd debris
removal, painting and some structara repaim are '
needed to improve these properties. Poor
property maintenance lessens the appeal of the
Fry Street area and it also serves to reinforce the a
negative images and perceptions held by the
to t general populace. In addition to residential dwellings,
q
tv there are also a number of shops in the area that are in
need of cleaning and painting.
i
r The undeveloped property owned by Delta lodge on the
comer of Fry and Oak Streets also may be problematic.
In the long-term absence of development,the lot is a
potential meeting place for loitering, trash accumulation end vagrancy,
Stakeholders suggest the adoption of an"Ugly Spat Of The Month"and a"Most Beautiful Spot Of
The Month" within the Fry Street study area to encourage better property maintenance and upkeep.

Not all of the meeting discussions fo.usW1 on problems to be solved. Part of the process invited
residents to describe images of achic,ed naghborhood changes and strengths. These images contained
both social and physical elements. They included short and long term gain and they assumed private

Safey
Strengths:
Police presence
Stakeholder Sentiments: i a
Safely f s both a strength and a concern for Fry
Street area stakeholders. Area stakehotders feel
safer now than in years past. The community
office presence is credited for the improvements t't►r t t t`, it
;n sar.1y over the past two years. During the --
school remestcrs,the hours are set based on
student volunteers. The students staff the office 'a
for 2 .4 hours one day a week.
t
Police enforcement of speeding in the area has
also improved. The Police Department is 6
currently participating in the metroplex•wlde
"Red Light Program",which increases the
presence of traffic cops and the use of radar
along Hickory and Welch Streets.
Increased lighting in areas has also helped to increase safety. Over thirty lights have been added over
the past four years, and the community policemen in the area work with the City's utility&pattment to
repair others,
h:creasing the hours of the community center, establishing a community liaison to staff the center with
police officers, expanding the services of the community center,similar to City flail in the mall,and
promoting public/private commitment will further enhance the sense of safety in the area.

Stakeholder Sentiments: 4,
According to area stakeholders,diversity is what makes Fry Street what it Is. The Fry Street area
historically has drawn people from all over the country. In the Fry Street area,cultural and social
differences do not alienate or keep people apart. Instead,differences are what bring people in the area
together. The Fry Street area serves as a fertile meeting ground for everyone,from the fringes of
34
t
a
society,to the eclectic,the student,the professional and even the elite. The people who frequent and
work in the area are typically laid back and often feel free to express their individuality. Differences are
celebrated and encouraged.
The Fry Street area is also unique because it caters to a multitude of interests. Visitors of the area will
find that while Fry Street nurtures social diversity, music and art also play Important roles in the area's
identity. Fry Street is considered an arts/business district with a liberal attitude and is definitely one of
the main hubs of Denton life.
Another esteemed quality is the different face and charccter of the Fry Street area during the day and
the night. During the day,the area is a meeting place t,r students to gather and philosophize on the
intellectual dilemma of the day, it is a stage for artists to showcase their works and their talents and it is
a center for shopping and spectator activities. At a'ght,the Fry Street area transforms and becomes a
large arena for partying and celebrating. It is a pi is: for those of legal age to drink socially, openly and
spiritedly...a place of unabashed indulgence.
For this kind of diversity to continue to thrive in the Fry Street area,safety is needed. The Fry Street
area must maintain its sense and perception of safety in order to draw diverse groups and to prevent
future problems.
According to sa-holders,ways to address and improve on Citywide perccptio,is and reservations
about the Fry Street image include keeping the community center open to serve as an Information
center for visitors, fostering cultural diversity with additional music vet 'es and artistic impressions
and rcinr=ing that the Fry Street area is not Just a night-time area.

Food, fun and entertainment are all located within close proximity In the Fry Street area. The
closeness and convenience of UNT,the various restaurants,clubs and shops in the area are also
attractive features of the Fry Street area according to area stakeholders. The Fry Street area is
approximately 18.9 acres which is relatively small end contained. At a normal pace,it takes less than
20 minutes to walk the entire perimeter of the Fry Street area boundary. Refer to Figure 9,pg. 11.
The Fry Street area basically serves as a downtown area for UNT. Every Imaginable amenity and � A. �
convenience in the Fry Street area is within walking distance. Fry Street denizens, college students and ( /
visitors arc not forced to travel to outside of the area to shop,drink, and eat or for entertainment.
because there is a diverse mix of uecs(businesses, housing and a state institution)in the Fry Street
area, there is little need to rely so heavily on automobiles for daily needs.

The streets in the Fry Street area bustle with pedestrians; students, residents and shoppers in
automobiles; delivery trucks and other transit modes. On the whole, automobiles and pedestrians
interact with mild discomfort. While jaywalking is the norm rather than the exception in the Fry Street
area, there does at least seem to be mutual respect between motorists and pedestrians in clearly defined
pedestrian zones.
Recommended enhancements to the Fry Street area include passing a handbill ordinance to address the
posting of signs on telephone poles,more handicap accessibility along sidewalks, underground
utilities,and landscaping along Ave. A.
The idea of Avenue A and Fry Street as one-way streets appeals to many of the stakeholders. This will
allow loading areas on one side of the street and thereby decrease the potential for accidents.
improving sidewalk conditions, making pedestrian crossings more visiule by repainting or installing
flashing lights along Hickory and Oak Streets,and the creation of an ordinance that prohibits sitting,
laying,or reclining on sidewalks during specific hours are all actions that will insure a safe,walkable
community according to area stakeholders.
Building and maintaining a relationship with UNT to develop a bicycle pathway around the University
will also serve to strengthen the appeal of the area to transit users.

Stakeholder Sen.1mcnts:
The Fry Street area is an arts/bus'ness district,which contains a cluster of unique and local shops. The
area contains a menagerie of popuiv dance clubs,live music venues,bookstores,caWreslaurants,hair
salons,pool halls,tattoo shops,dry cleaners,a local convenience store, eta Businesses that are unlike
other businesses and that are not found elsewhere in the City can be found in the Fry Street area.
Businesses that offer a variety of eclectic gift items,water pipes, and full service body piercing and
tattoos just to name a few. According to the merchants in the area,the businesses in the Fry Street area
have survived over the years due to the unique items sold,the locality and because lie businesses
provide consistent and affordable prices.
Fry Street area clubs,bars and stores ere also on equal footing with entertainment establishments in
surrounding cities. The shops and clubs in the Fry Street area cater mostly to a college clientele, but to
various other patrrns as well, Patronage of the Fry Street nightclub life is further aided by extended
alcohol sales hours, Entertainment seekers are not forced to choose Dallas, Fort Worth and other
surrounding areas over Denton. Many of the college stakeholders indicate that the entertainment 1 /
atmosphere provided by the Fry Street area promotes safety and responsibility because people stay in
Denton rather than traveling the dangerous interstates afler a few drinks late al night. Popular musical
acts perform in the Fry Street area and are more than likely attracted to the area because the

Stakeholder Sentiments:
A sub-culture exists in the Fry Street area, While City-wide appreciation,understanding and support
of this sub-culture appears lacking,there is a strong need and desire by the Fry Street stakeholders to
maintain the eclectic feel and originality of the area. It is believed that the social tolerance of those
who frequent the Fry Street area is higher than In other areas of Denton. The stakeholders agw that
Ns tolerance must be nurtured and maintained. People from all walks of life are embraced and feel
welcomed. The Fry Street area,for the most part,is a non-judgmental area where everyone Is free to
be himself or herself.
With university ties,fringe appeal,after-work and after-school attraction for students,professors and
young professionals,the ambience and clientele changes constantly. Clubs, earthy businesses and
colorful regulars dot the Fry Street area canvass. it is the one area of town where a college pasty place

Stakeholder Identified Stralegies
Area stakeholders propose a number of solutions,alternatives and strategies. The necessary means to
realize the goals idcntilicd in the plan must be clearly identified and outlined step by step. The City
recognizes and area stakeholders must also recognize that the improvements to the Fry Street area will
not be achieved by City actions alone. A strong partnership between the City,UNT,the Fry Street
community and the Fry Street Development Corporation is needed to achieve the plan objectives.
Some proposals will be relatively easy to carry out,while others will present significant challenges.

Recommendations and Implementation Actions
A useful plan for restoration of the Fry Street community's viability requires dual strategies. Solutions
will not come easily or quickly. Obstacles include deep-rooted skepticism, limited resources available
for remedial efforts and limited participation and interest by area residents.
As first hand evidence of commitment to the Fry Street area,there are a number of actions,which the
City of Denton, the Fry Street Development Corporation (FSDC),and The University of Nord Texas
(UNT)can initiate. These actions include solid waste services, parking and traffic circulation,properly
maintenance and community aesthetics. in many instances, the recommended actions directly match
strategies identified by the stakeholders in the previous section. In other instances,the recommended
actions are based on detailed analyses provided by city staff. All of the actions correspond to one or
more of the stakeholder strategies previorsly identified. Where there is more than one option
available, the preferred recommendation is identificri by
ORGANUATIONAL
Recommended Actions.
First, the plan recommends a public-private partnership between the City of Denton,the Univcrsityof
North Texas and the Fry Street Development Corporation. The City will be the catalyst by initiating
the Fry Street area improvements, Specifics of this recommendation are liscussed under the Parking
and Traffic recommendations, PT-I4'PT-15.
Second, to accomplish the above recommendation, the plan further recommends the creation of a
special Fry Street Zoning Overlay District and a Fry Street Public Improvement District (FSPID). A
Special District and a PiD formation are discussed in detail under the Parking and Traffic
recommendations, PT-4!PT-5 and PT-6.
LITTER, DF,AUTIFICATION AND SOLID WASTE COLLECTION
The most apparent actions involve solid waste services and include keeping trash,debris and glass
containers out of the area, removal of the dumpsters off the streets and sidewalks to a centralized
location, screening of area containers and'or replacement of the dumpsters for compactors. Area
stakeholders are determined and committed to cleaning up the image and aesthetics of the area by first
removing the dumpsters from the streets and off the sidewalks.
Recommended Actions-
SW-lb A "no glass"container ordinance for the Fry Street Area should be adopted to prevent and
eliminate the proliferation of liticr by and Injury from bottles and other glass containers.
Install centralized solid waste facilities to reduce dumpster visibility and improve solid waste service.
The following options are available; r
1, SW-2lSH'-3 The City Solid Waste Department will contact area merchants and property owners to
relocate the refuse containers to more centralized areas. Customers who arc clustered together(by
block) should agree to share solid waste eonWncrs and services to enable use of one or two
strategically placed sinb'.e large units for a number of users. Generators would further benefit from on-
J
I'
f
I III
i
f
premise compaction of solid waste. A credit or a discount in solid waste rates may be given to those
generators who participate in on-premise compaction. Further discussion with the Solid Waste
Department regarding this item is needed to determine service details and monthly collection rates.
i
or
2, SW'4 Solid Waste will replace dumpsters with centrally located compactors. This is a strategy that
City Solid Waste representatives presented to area stakeholders, Use of compactors would
significantly reduce the number of pick-ups required since compaction allows the containment of more
trash. Solid v tste generators will need to work with the Solid Waste Department to determine a
centralized location for the compactors. Preliminary cost estimates indicate that current solid waste
costs will increase roughly 100°,�6405% for all generators. Since the recommendation was first made,
the Solid Waste Department has re-evaluated this issue, finding that while compactors are designed to
hold more trash, minimize collection frequency and reduce the number of containers in the area, there
arc some disadvantages to compactor use. Increased odor due to the infrequency of collection, watery
discharge from rain and wet garbage increases due to the compactness of the garbage and the costs
associated with placement and service of compactors are significantly higher for generators than the
present dumpster sen'ice may result, Concrete reinforcement of driveways for the service trucks,
security lighting and electric utility connections to the compactors are additional costs. Ir centralized
compactors are selected,the Solid Waste Department will analyze creative financing strategies
and alternatives to pay for the up-front costs and other associated costs.
The strategic grouping of dumpsters rather than compactors is recommended in the three blocks of the
Fry Street study area. This proposal and a comparison of centralized dumpsters vs.centralized
compactors arc provided. Refer to Table 2,pg. 43. The strategic grouping of the containers will reduce J
the number of containers in the area and will reduce the cost of scr%ice to many area merchants,but 1I
not every merchant. Refer to figure 13,pg. 47.
Design,specific,tions and actual location of the containers(either dumpsters or compactors)will
include access points,concrete drives,concrete pads, revetments,security lighting, etc. and will reed
to be discussed and coordinated in greater detail with the City Solid Waste and Planning Dcpartmenls,
FSDC/FSPID, and UNT.
Whichever option is chosen,the Solid Waste Department will provide up to $20,000 in funds,to cover
part of the costs for screening revetments, a concrete drive and a concrete slab and apron for the
containers to he placed on, This is above and beyond the basic solid waste services that the City
provides. Generators will be responsible for additional funding costs and future maintenance.
Furthermore, if a consensus is reached regarding centralized containers,implementation will occur on a
block by block basis. Removal of grease refuse containers from the curb and right-of-way will also be
required, Grease refuse containers may be located in revetments if separate access is provided.
tlow'cvcr, the Solid ',Vaste Department will not be responsible for providing service to grease refuse A, ,
containers. (An increase in solid waste rates will result if Solid Waste has to clean revetments due to 1
grease refuse.)
42
i
SW-7 UNT empty area trashcans in exchange for the authority to regulate the parking of vehicles on
public streets in the Fry Street area and surrounding vicinity. Amend current contract to include the
streets identified in UNT's proposal. Refer to Figure 14,pg. 49. Details of the contract include
language indicating that this arrangement is an interim solution until self-management of the trashcans
by FSDCrSPiD. The Solid Waste Department will provide an additional refuse container for the
waste disposal. Location of this dumpster on one of the blocks proposed for centralized grouping of
the containers or UNT's physical plant facility will be evaluated by the Solid Waste Department.
To discourage students from parking in the surrounding residential areas due to heightened UNT E
enforcement,hans-tags that allow only area residents to park along residential streets are also
recommended.
S%V-9 The City Solid Waste Department identify all solid waste generators and require service. Fully
utilize the enforcement powers of the Solid Waste Ordinance.
PARKING AND TRAFFIC
Recommended Actions:
As mentioned previously,there are 2 major organizational actions that must also occur in conjunction
with the public-ptivate partnership recommended earlier. The creation of a special Fry Street Zoning
Overlay District(PT41PT-5) and a Fry Street Public Improvement District(PT-6) is recommended.
I. PT-4/PT-5 Creale a special Fry Street 'Zoning District designed to aid in revitalization that is
compatible with and will serve to preserve the character of the Fry Street area. The Fry Street Zoning
District will set out and establish zoning classification of uses; zoning requirements,including density,
area and height restrictions;sign regulations; parking regulations, including off street and remole off-
site parking and loading requirements; transit and traffic operations;public improvements;and
aesthetic regulations, including glass container and encampment restrictions and dumpster location
requirements. The toning district and regulations will only be applicable to the Fry Street area.
Spceific requiranents rLIJILll to parking and density include the following options;
a. Reduce the parking requirements for restaurants and bars in the Fry Street area to one space
for each 200 square feet or floor area or one space for each 6 seats,whichever Is greater. This
ratio allows some existing businesses to expand, and a few new businesses to move intr the area. In
this scenario,c-isling business owners have two options. First,business owners can retain the current
leases for parking,which allows for future expansimi. The second option allows the business owner to
cut costs by renegotiating the parking leases and reducing the number of spaces leased. This option
impacts parking availability in the .wo major parking lots as follows:
-Lot south of IlickorylEast of Ave, A- this option would make available between
7 and 43 spaces on this lot. f A
-Lot north of Hickory/East of Fry Street. (his option would make available approximately
50 spaces on this lot.

These spaces could be made available to tenants wishing to convert existing structures for uses
other than those for which they currently qualify as a legally non-conforming use, Spaces could
also be used for a limited amount of new construction. However, the Building Inspections
Division would rcview any new construction that would cause a net loss of available parking in
the area on a case by case basis. This option does not change the fact that two major property
owners control the majority of the available parking in the Fry Street area. It also does not
address the problems we currently have with variances,illegaliy non-conforming uses, and
legally non-conforming uses.
or
h, A Fry Street Zoning District is created(PT4/PT•5)and all parking requirements In the
Fry Street area will be eliminated and density requirements will be established, Density
recommendation: NO more than 50,000 sq. ft, of Restaurant/Bor space, no more than
70,000 sq. ft, of retail space with the remainder of the available area to be reserved for
lower activity uses such as residential and office. Massing guidelines and Floor to Arta
(FAR) minimums for new and existing construction will be developed, Anyone attempting
to rezone properties outside the established Fry Street Area boundary for purposes of
expanding the district will be subject to denial by the Board of Zoning Appeals and Ike
City Council. Any residential property rezoned and converted for any use other than
residential,will be required to Increase parking in the District at a ratio of one space for
each 200 sq. ft.of floor are to be converted, This option prevents new development from
occurring outside the Fry Street District,will allow for the expansion of existing businesses
vertically and pave the way fur redevelopment in the area. A Fry Street zoning Overlay District
will also eliminate the problems with variances,illegally non-conforming uses,and legally non-
conforming uses. Also,by setting density restrictions, the likelihood of uncontrolled growth in
the arca is lessened, As is the case with the first option, the Building Inspections Division would
rcview any new construction in the Pry Street area on a case by case basis.
or
c. Set "area wide"parking requirements and treat the Fry Street area as a single business
entity In relation to parking. This option would determine parking requirements for the
entire Fry Street area by comparing the total square footage of all businesses within the
boundaries or the arca to the total number of parking spaces ava'lable In the area. The
nu mbcr or spaces required would be based on a ratio of one space for each 200 sq. ft, of
floor area for restaurant/bars and retail uses and one space for each 300 sq. ft.of floor nrea
for office uses. This option allows for the expansion of existing businesses and paves the way
for ne,v businesses to locale in the arca. It also eliminates the current problems with illegally
non-conforming uses and legally non-conforming uses by maki mg all uses conforming. Also, by 1
setting parking requirements based on certain uses, the likelihood of uncontrolled growth in the 6
area is lessened. this option also alleviates the problems associated with the fact that two ! !
property owners control the majority of the parking in the area. As is the case with the first two
options,the building Inspections Division would review any new constructie,tin the Fry Street
area on a case by case basis. Also, in instances where new construction or the conversion of

There are currently 600 parking spaces in the Fry Street area, If the variances currently granted
in the Fry Street area arc factored in,these 600 spaces are more than enough parking to meet the
requirements. (There are also 69 additional spaces on two lots north of Oak Street,across from
Vocrtman's and Sari's, which are controlled by Vocrtman's.)
PT-6 Area property owners should petition the City to create a Fry Street Public Improvement
District (FSPID). A PID is a tool, which allows a local government to levy and collect special
asst;smcnts on property to finance needed public improvements. A:ea property owners are
assessed additional taxes based on property values for a specified period of time, The additional
taxes are channeled to a SpMial Improvement District Fund. Management of the funds can be
through the City or an appointed PID Board. A PID can be effective in promoting resources,
maintenance, upgrading of infrastructure and special services,improving vtd expanding on the
special character of a neighborhood; enhancing the identity and visual expericace of a
neighborhood and assuring the longevity and maintenance of aesthetic improvtimcnts.
A preliminary assessment of the possible proceeds generated from a Fry Street PID(FSPID)
indicates approximately $3,00044,000/year(assuming a$0.07 per$100 of appraised value).
This amount is not a high enough yield to help fund many of the Fry Street improvement
proposals. use of this fund to pay principal and interest on bonds that the City might use for area
improvements can demonstrate a willingness and commitment to match funding for area
improvements. The City's Economic Development Department and the Small Area Planning A, ,
Division wilt provide organisational assistance, flowever, it Is additionally recommended that
over the next 3.4 years,the FSPID funds are offset with additional fund raising activities to
raise at least SI 5,000 per year. This averages 5375 per year for each of the 40+businesses
In the area.

In addition,building owners could also agree m require,of tenants and lessees, dues for services
and needed improvements in the area,
UNT provide additional capital investment assistance for street improvements in the Fry':reel
area,
PT-11 4/PT-15'fhe City Engineering and Transportation Department develop a traffic
improvement plan for the Fry Street area. Reconllgure the traffic circulation on Fry Street,
Avenue A and Mulberry Street to one-way. (One-way southbound on Fry from Oak to Hickory,
one-way northbound on Avenue A,westbound on Mulberry from Welch to Hickory)Where
Avenue A is offset front Fry Street,change the existing configuration change to include a
pedestrian pavilion/mall. Also Include aldewalk replacement and expansion; new angled head-in
parking; additional meterparking on Oak Street; additional handicap parking spaces,and new
loading zones. To initiate the recommended public-private parinershlp, the City program
$200,000-5250,000 into the 2000 Capital Improvement Program (CIP)Budget towards these
improvements.
FSDC, FSPID and UNT provide streetscape and landscape improvements in the area. Refer to
Figure l:t,pg. 53.
Additional one-way options arc also i,..,,tified. The"pros"and"cons"of each of these options
including the recommended option (option 5)is explained in a cursory analysis on the following

Povitive Negatives
• One-way traffic makes the concept of angled parking s Given the cumber of intersecting driveways,the

vehicles to pass as parked can reenter the stream of traffic, may be limited. The only reason to even consider a
a One-way traffic makes the concept of angled parking one-way Fry Stml is to increase parking, As this

more than one Lane will not cross in the path of vehicles allows for it continuous(same)one-way movement
that are travelling in the opposite direction. across all time street sections will improve tragic
e Turning movements are only eliminated at either now in the existing right•of--way,even if the street
Hickory or Oak but not both. cannot be rebuilt to add parking,
a In either direction,two lines art pemsined onto either s This situation creates a very confusing situation
Oak or Hickory because there are multiple movements at for unfamiliar motorist since all pans of FrylAve.A
either Intersection(either straight or kR•tum) is two-way except for this one block. In addition,
there Is an increased Incentive to travel the wrong
wry on Fry,thus breaking the law,ifs motorist can
see that the next two-way section is just one block
away.
a The one-way Fry Street will Increase traffic on
Avenue B and Welch,depending on the direction of
Fry Street
a If Fry Street is southbound ode-way,there is a
risk of a head-on situation it the Intersection of
Fry/Ave,A and Hickory,and an increase in the
amount of traffic on Hickory,
a If Fry Stmet is northbound,not only Is there the
risk of a head-on a!tuation,the amount of traMc on
Oak increases significantly due to the fact that all
motorists on Fry(northbtund or southbound)
MUST use the Inteneclioo at Oak Street. Triffic
on Oak between Fry and Avenue B Increases
si nibcantly.
Conclusion: This option provides no new benefit on its own and there is no public benefit created by spending
money(widening the etrett or sidewalk)on this one street sectiots alone. Safety is an issue since this one block

community office on a trial period of one year to increase the hours of operation., The Fry Street
community office receives a high proportion of staffing hours than any other area of town. The
Fry Street area has two Police Officers assigned to work on bicycle during the peak hours,plus
one officer during each or the three shifts. An increase beyond these staffing levels is simply not
justified by the curTcnl call load and criminal activity reported in the Fry Street area.
PROPERTY MAINTENANCE
Recommended Actions:
PM-i The City Building Inspections and Code Enforcement Department target properties in the
area for enforcement of Cily code violations,
The FSDC and/or FSPID determine if maintenance guidelines are appropriate for the Fry Street
area, If so, meet with City Code Enforcement and Planning staff to discuss the creation of
guidelines.
COMMUNITY CHARACTER
Recommended Actions:
CC-I The City require Delta Lodge to meet with all pertinent City personnel atone meeting to
discuss organization orthe Fry Street Fair. Delta Lodge include FSDC and/or FSPID in the Fair
planning meetings and in the distribution of the proceeds.
FSD0FSPID develop and coordinate other fund-raising activities, in addition to the Fry Street i
Fair held annually by Delta Lodge, to help match, leverage or supplement City funding of Fry
Street Area improvements.
CC-3 Adopt a "no encampment"ordinance to prohibit 0ting, laying, loitering and reclining on
sidewalks in the Fry Street Area during specified hours. Continued use of the Enforcement
Authorizalion Program.
CC-7 FSDC/FSPID provide markers and signs identifying the Fry Street Area. The area serves
as a gateway to the UNT campus and to dowiuown Denton. Add marker signs to the existing
street signs in the Fry Street area. Create area logo and place on area trashcans and containers.
CC-10 FSDC/FSPID provide landscaping,irrigation and street trees in conjunction with traffic
improvement plan(PT•14'PT•1 5).
CC-I I Delta Lodge has applied for a Sp"W Use Permit(SUP) to rebuild a new fraternity house
on the vacant lot located at 1305 W. Oak Street. The structure that formerly occupied the site
was completely destroyed by fire, The proposed use is compatible with the area, and under At t
present zoning regulations, an SUP is required for the establishment of a fraternity. 1 r

and require a greater detail of public•pdvate cooperation,rre presented in the Fry Street Small
Area Plan 7oning and Implementation Actions, Referfo Table 4,pg. 61.
VI. CONCLUSION
The Fry Street area requires immediate attention. It is time for more action and less talk,time to
transform renewed enthusiasm nrt,cr.argy Into positive steps toward restoration of the
community and the well being of its residents. Improvements are needed to undo years of
deferred investment,advertent neglect and overdue renovation. Procrastination and apathy can
only lead to further deterioration and instability in the Fry Street area. Improvements will be
costly and will require a considerable financial commitment not only from the City of Denton,
but the University of North Texas,The Fry Street Development Corporation, residents
merchants, business and property owners In the Fry Street area, The distribution of the financial
commitment does not necessarily have to he equal,however it does have to be shared.
All of Denton neighborhoods are Interconnected and interdependent. Harm to a part damages the
whole. However,the reverse is also true; neighborhood gains benefit the entire community.
Changes in the Fry Street area involve social, economic and physical recovery. While the
concerns are unique,issue definition and possible strategies discussed by the Fry Street area
stakeholders can be applied in many areas of the city. Neighborhoods have to heal from within.
Without ongoing involvement and full commitment of neighborhood residents and businesses, j
there can be no lasting gains. Self reliance and personal initiative must play a much greater role
than they have in the past.

Receive a report, hold a discussion and give staff direction regarding a proposed dance
Instruction program at Martin Luther King, Jr.Center.
BACKGROUND
At the City Council meeting of May I1'h, Council Member Young requested the staff
explore the possibility of fundin, t new dance instruction program at the Martin Luther
King, Jr. Ccnicr, i he program, proposed by Creative Expressions and presented by
Vanessa Sims, would utilize paid professionals to provide instructon for up to 20
students per session, twice per week at a cost of $25,920. Program staff salaries are
approximately 691/6 of the total proposed program budget. A copy of the proposal is
attached,
Rather than subsidize this activity through the General Fund, MLK Center staff would
like to accommodate the dance pr-tram through private or neighborhood funding,, or a
contract with the City for skills Instruction. 'Time and space can be made available for
the dance sessions, as requested. If the program is funded through private or
neighborhood sources, the City would not incur any expenses. If the City provides the
funding, program costs would be recosered through fees collected by the instructors,as
is the case with our other contracts. Since this program will target youth that may not be
able to pay the entire fee, staff will help Creative Expressions t.ientity possible
underwriters to defray expenses. Scholarship money may be solicited Crou6h the Denton
Parks Foundation

SUPJECT
Itold a discussion and give staff direction regarding possible revisions to the 1999 Action
Plan for Housing and C'ommunitv Development and the funding recommended for the
Denton Affordable (lousing Corporation.
BACKGROUND
The Denton Affordable Housing Corporation(DA1IC)was created by the Low-Moderate
Income housing Task Force appointed by City Council In 1987, The Low-Moderate 1
Income housing Task Force was asked to review housing needs in Denton and provide
recommendations to meet those needs. The group's final recommendations stressed the
development of a nonprofit housing development corporation.
Not long after these recommendations were conveyed to City Council,the U.S.
Department of housing and Urban Development established the home Investment
Partnerships Program(I10VF). The HOW program Included a requirement that
communities sock out participation by community housing development organizations or
CI IDOs. Regulations governing the makeup of CI IDO%were developed to ensure that
these organisations would focus on low-income neighborhood development and
rovitaiizntion by requiring the participation of low-income citizens on the governing
boards. As a result of this legislation,the Low-NWerate Income Ilousin3 Task Force
designed DA]IC to meet the Cl[DO requirements. DAI IC adopted its artieics of
incorporation on May 7, 1997 and began operations in June 1995, Federal regulations at
24 Cr,R Pail 92 define"community housing development organizations" and their role In
local HOME programs, Excerpts from the HOME regulations relating to CD1IO's are
Included as Attachment A.
DAI IC''s affordable housing programs serve Denton County. 1 h organ]tatlon's annual
budget for the 1998.1999 fiscal year is approximately $4 million. DAEIC's Affordable rr
Housing Opportunity Program (AI IOP) projects bring Investment to the Denton area of
more than $S million in interim construction and permanent mortgage financing from
local lenders. The I IOMF funds provided by the City of Denton and subsequent use of
the recycled funds are targeted to projects within the city. Many local projects completed
Page I
t
by DAHC use a variety of funding sources cffeclively leveraging the City's HOME
funding, Attachment I3 provides a list of affordable housing DAFIC projects and
programs in the City of Denton. The chart indicates funding sources for each project.
At the public hearing on May 11,City Council requested further information and
alternatives in regard to the Community Development Advisory Committee's funding
recommendation for the Denton Affordable I IOUs'no Corporation, The options below
include those mentioned by Council members at the public hearing. In addition,Council
members asked for Information spccifle to the DAHC Toledo court Project. This
Information is provided separate in Attachment D.
ACTION PLAN OPTIONS
�nll_ Olt )' 4Sunn/oa � ,'unr��nP
t ombme the 520,000 in recommended operating funds with the$78,000 allocated for
DMIC's Affordable Housing Opportunity(AFIOp)funding. The A1 lop program is
designed to acquire properties in existing neighborhoods. Some of the properties are
acquired under I IUD's single family disposition program. These units arc renovated and
sold to low and moderate-income households. Down payment, closing costs and some
equity contribution is available under Al IOp, This program has been funded with City of
Ocnton I FOM1;dollars since 1994. Twcnt)AWO units have been acquired and renovated.
Program income from property sates is continuously recycled Into the program,
Reallocation of operating funds to the Al FOP program will provide additional resources
for acquisition and rehabilitation of affordable units. However, it Is unlikely that the
number of units completed will increase significantly due to staff constraints and the
small increase In program dollars.
Operating funds are currently used for salaries,office rent and other general
administrative expenses. DAI IC k 4an operations in 1995 with only an executive
director. They now have 3.5 employees, Operating fund allocation history Is as follows;
199342S.799 1996420,000 1997-$22,430 1998-$24,030
('DA('s 1999 recommendation Is less than funding allocated for operating expenses in
1997 and '98. Further decreases could effect DAI IC's ability to maintain current staffing
'wets, DAI IC currently has a staff of four—executive director, rehabilitation
coordinator. housing development specialist, and a part-time receptionist.
gull k'crle t'hx,rtrlV,l, r�,
Rcul locale the$20.000 recommended for DAI it'operating lu another f IONIE program,
H()Mli regulations do not require the provisicn of operating funds to ('HDOs. These /
funds could be added to other IIUD-funded programs such as hotneou-ner +
rehahilitadon'reconstruction,homebuyer assistance a tenant-based rental assistance, I 1
Also, funds could be redistributed among the programs that are common to both IIOAIE
and M110 to provide an additional $20,000 for CDB(J prcjccts/programs.
Page 2
t
OMlon 3: C'reale 01100 Sef Aside
The$98,000 allocated to r)AIIC may be set up in the Action Plan as a CHD )set aside
and a request for proposals could be developed to determine if other organizations are
interested in participating in the City's}TOME program as a CHDO.
HOME regulations at 92,300 require that within 24 months after the HOME agreement is
executed,the City must reserve not less than 13%of the HOME allocation for CHDO
projects. This would provide sufficient time for staff to notify local nonprofit
organizations and those from other communities regarding the RFP process and CHDO
requirements. Proposals would include information as to how the organization plans to
meet CHDO requirements and their timeline for certification by the Slate and City of
Denton. both Habitat for Humanity and the Denton Housing Authority have indicated an
interest in learning more about becoming a community housing development
organisation.
Though regulations allow 24 months to commit funding to a CHDO,HOMF regulations
also require that jurisdictions have no more than 2 years of uncommitted funding, A
delay in commitment of CHDO funds could affect the City's expenditure rate and cause
some I TOME funding to be recaptured by HUD.
Housing organizations outside of Denton are eligible to carry out activities in the City,
once they have met Cl[DO qualifications including setting up a board where at lewt 113
of the members are low Income citizens of the community and/or are elected
representatives of the low income community. To operate in a community,ClID09 must
also love at least a year of experience providing housing sen•ices in the community. It is
unlikely that Denton's HOME allocation of approximately $500,000 annually would
attract outside housing organizations to the city.
Orllon 4: Approve Orlelnal CUICReconmtendallon
Council members can approve funding for DA11C as recommended by the Community
Ikvelopment Advisory Committee.
Stiff Recomntendalion
Starfrecommends r, proval of the original CDAC recommendation. Also, regardless of
the option chosen h, :ity Council, staff also recommends that various actions be taken to
improve the relation Ir between the City of Union and the Denton Affordable}lousing
Corporation. l hose ho4ons include;
s Incorporation of CHUG public participation requirements In the funding agreement.
'The public participation requirements developed through discussions with DAIIC are
included as Attachment C.
• Invite the Denton Affordable housing Corporation board of Directors to talk directly
with City Council regarding affordable housing goals and potential projects.
e 'talk with DAI1C and consider appointment of a City lialson to DAHC board of
Directors.

ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT
Funds provided to the Denton Affordable Housing Corporation are generally expended
during the August 1 thrn;tp� tuly 11 program year Program proceeds generated from the
sale of Affordable Ilotsing Opportunity Program(AIIOP)properties continue to be used
in subsequent years for project financing. Funding from the City's HOME program will
be recycled several times over the next several years.
PRIOR ACTIONIREYIEW(Council.Boards.Commissionsl
Since,January,the Community Development Advisory Committee and Human Services
Committee have been working to develop recommendations for use of 1999 CDBO and
I TOME funds. Both committees accepted applications for programs/projects and held
fu-,ding hearings prior to developing recommendations. CDAC and IISC representatives
prsented their committees' recommendations to City Council 0 the April 27 work
session. Public hearings were held on April 12 at the MLK Center and on May 11 at the
regular council meeting.
At the May 1 I meeting, council members asked that they be provided with additional
information regarding options that are available in the provision of CEIDO funding.
Options for action are Included under the"Background" section of this report,
FISCAL INFORMATION
DAI IC's application for 1999 funding requested$130,000 for the A1I0P program and
$26.000 for agency operating costs. Community Development Advisory Committee
members recommended$78,000 (15%of the HOME allocation)for AHOP and $20,000
fir operating costs. As stated previously, 15%of a community's HOME allocation must
be sct aside for"investment only in housing to be developed,sponsored or owned by
community housing development organizations"as stated in 24 CFR q2.M. There is no
I IOMIi requirement that OIDOs be provided with funding for operating costs.
DAHC has also provided the City with a total of$ 697,097 in HOME match. This match
is provided through non-1I0h1E sources used In DAHC programs. Prcvislon of 25%
matching funds is a requirement of the IIOMP' program. DAHC has prov!ded the City
with match credit from a land donation, Denton County Housing Finance Corporation
funding, Fedcral I tome Loan Bunk funding and program proceeds. These sources of
match have anowrd the City of Denton to continue a positive match credit with HUD. A

DEMQLITIO : PROCEDURES
TOLEDO COURT SUBDIVISION
Complaints from Singing Oaks neighborhood residents initially focused on poor
rotification on the part of the Habitat for Humanity and the Denton Affordable Housing
Corporation. More recent complaints involve the lack of progress in rehabilitation of the
units. An explanation of project delays was provided by Jane Provo,executive director
of DAHC,at the May 1 l City Council meeting and in recent correspondence to council
members.
On February 19, 1999 a Notice and Order to demolish the structures or obtain a building
permit for repair within sixty dn;s wa.,s sent to DAHC. If a permit was obtained the work
was to be completed within forty-five days of the date of permit issuance. Building
permits were issued otr April 86 which would set a deadline for completion on May 23td.
An additional condition of having substantial completion accomplished within thirty days
of permit issuance was also part of the Notice and Order. Substantial completion was not
achieved by May 23r4.
It has always been the policy of the Building inspections Division to work with those
Individuals who are attempting to comply but have fallen short of time.This is
accomplished by extending the time frame for substantial completion of the project.
Through this approach numerous structures have been rehabilitated that otherwise would
have cost the city thousands of dollars to demolish. The Building Code Board is often
reluctant to order a structure demolished if the owner asks for additional time. In the past,
the board has extended the time for completion an additional six months on average.
Given City of Denton policies and the board's history, the time frame for completion of
DAHC's units was ext.nded 90 days.
It has been suggested that&..e units should be demolished under the Notice and Order
issued on February 19, 1999.The Texas Local Goverment Code,Chapter 214,
Subchapter A,214.001 provides the authority for municipalities to demolish substandard
structures:
,4whoriry Regardh gSubstandard Bulldingst A municipality may,by ordinance, require
the vacation,relocation of occupants,securing,repair, removal,or demolition of a
building that is:
i
(1) dilapidated, substandard,or unfit for human habitation and a hazard to the public
health, safety, and welfare;
(2) regardless of its structural condition, unoccupied by its owners,Iessees,or other
invitees and is unsecured from unauthorized entry to the extent that it could be
entered or used by vagrants or other uninvited persons or as a place or harborage or i
could be entered or used by children.
Cl(,, of Denton Code of Ordinances,Section 28.422,states that whenever the building i
official de- rmines that a structure is substandard,he shall commence proceedings to
i
Page 13
t
Attachment D
cause the repair,vacation or demolition of the structure. The ordinance also states that if
the building official determines that the structure must be repaired that a permit shall be
obtained within 60 days of the order and completed within such time as the building
official shall determine is reasonable under all the circumstances.
If the building is ordered demolished the following procedures must be followed. The
timeline below includes both Building Inspections and Community Development
procedures(CDBG is currently the only funding budgeted for demolition of substandard
structures.)
I. Notice and Order for demolition or repair: Day I
2. Permit for repair or demolition, Issued within 60 days of
Notice and Order
3. Time for demolition or repair as determined
by the Building Official: 45 days(average)
4. Notice of hearing before the Construction
Advisory and Appeals Bcatd: 10 days prior to hearing
5. Community Development staff prepares
bid packets: 14 days
6, Requests for action are mailed and confirmations
received from utilities,other taxing entities and Texas
State Ilistorical Commission: 35 days
7. Bids are advertised,reviewed and awarded: 56 days
S. Contract executed and contractor begins demolition: 21 days
Total timeframe from initial inspection to demolition is a minimum of 242 days or j
December I, 1999. {
Denton Affordable Housing Corporation officials have provided a tentative timeline for
completion of the Mockingbird Lane project. See page 15 for the Toledo Court project
completion schedule. Please note that the timeline is a projection and does not
Include additional time that may be needed due to weather delays. Substantial delays
have already been caused by spring storms.
According to DA11C's tentative scbcdute,the project will be cow lete and it is tikely that
some of the units sold to eligible homeowners prior to December 1999, Based on this
information, initiation of demolition procedures is not recommended.
Also, a clarification in regard to project funding,though no CDBG or HOME are
invested in the project,DAHC has applied and was awarded$12,635 in impact fee grants
(internal transfer of funds)for the project. According to DAHC's application for impact
fee grants,the completed units will meet all criteria established under City Council ' ?
Resolution R98.052 establishing the program. Program requirements state that the units
must be sold to "Qualified Occupants'within 15 months of issuance of the Impact Pee �! '
Incentive C'crtification.

My name is Jill Gv;ariney.
My husband and I reside at 321 Mockingbird Lane. We live In an older
brick veneer home that we have made mt,ny Improvements to. We
completed the Improvements a few months before this nightmare began
i
back In September. However, we are embarrassed and ashamed for
family and friends to visit because of the 5 monstrosities that sit across
the street from our home. DAHC must be embarrassed of the project
as well, because they have not displayed any signs on the property that
Indicate their association with it.
The 5 structures were an eyesore when they were moved In and now, 9
months later,have the same hideous appearance. They are still sitting
on top of rails, sinking into the ground that is saturated with stagnant
�raler, which has caused au Increased amount of bugs and flying insects.
The structures have become weak and are starting to bow, which makes
them less likely to be remodeled cost effectively and efficiently.
At the Planning & Zoning meeting back In December. the commission
abstained from voting due to frustrations, disappointment and
embarrassment of the plat. On January 9`h, the plat was automatically
r
approved under State law and the remodeling process was to begin.
i
f
i
i
E
Singing Oaks residents were told the project would take 4 months. The
E
only work that has been done Is 2 driveways have been built and some
dirt was brought in to create the so-called "slope" to Improve the
drainage problem. The fill was to be used to build up the grade under
the structures as well, but none was distributed under them. Instead,
trenches were dug to help relieve the problem. These trenches are now
full of water and some of the water is stagnant. Workers have also
pumped excess water into the drainage ditch on the West side of
Mockingbird Lane. Therefore, the drainage problem on the p.operty Is
still an Issue. {
It is my understanding d.st DAHC filed for an extension due to bad
weather and rainfall. We didn't have a winter and how can rainfall be
a factor when the area lakes are down as much as seven feet? If DAHC
Is allowed to continue filing exter; ions this projea could take years.
Once again we are pleading with you to help us restore the Integrity of
our neighborhood.
Thank you for your time.

RE: Proposed Fatrfe'd Student Housing Development
This letter Is to express my objections to the above named development for the following
reasons:
1. Lowering the value of my property.
My husband, Arthur Nance, and I bought this property(on Brooklake West) In
June 1990 looking for a safe and desirable retirement location. We had Ilved
In Dallas for 54 years in the Love Field area so I know the results of
overcrowding W traffic hazards.
2. Congestion of Ml the traffic caused by all the students going to and from
classes In our area. Streets were %I built to handle these demands.
3. Bringing trims and deterioration of area by congestion of so many
students who are only renters,which has been the history of congested low-
Income housing occupied by renters.
4. Changing the personality of our arse from one of desirable famllylMng
neighborhood to one of renters,who do not have the characteristics of single
family home owner's pride. (Fry Street example)
b. Removing the compatibility of neighbors,Is because now we have the
same Interests of'preseMrg our neighborhood'.
6. The Multiple Housing Zane was passed In 1984,before the greatest
development of our area, We want our neighborhood to meet our resent
needs of family and for quality IMno. toning Is to meet the needs and wishes
of the current neighborhoods. What you are trying to bulk!does NOT meet
ajrsl
7. North Lakes Park facilities will be overcrowded to the extent local citizens
will rx b*it for which it was built.
8. Project does not have the support of our two universities.
Sincerely,
r
Emma B. Nance
