Concept Plan) Receive it report, hold a discussion, and give staff direction regarding the November 2, 1999 City Council decision related to Zoning Case NZ•99-061, a proposed Concept Plan amendment to PD-115, a 231 acre Planned Development located north of Windsor Road between Bonnie Brae and Westgate. BACKGROUND At its November 2, 1999 meeting City Council held a public hearing and considered Zoning Case Z- 99.061, a proposed Concept Plan amendment to PD-115, a 231 acre Planned Development located north of Windsor Road between Bonnie Brae and Westgate. The Council was also scheduled to consider Zoning Case Z•99-073, a proposed Detailed Plan for a 194 acre residential development within PD-1 15 after the Concept Plan was approved. At issue is the validity of a letter of opposition that was received by staffjtut before the start of the Council meeting. The letter was used to change op,-osiiion calculations, and added enough property to require a super-majority vote by Council for approval of the Concept Plan, rathrr than a simple majority vote. Concept Plan (Z-99-061). Prior to the meeting, staft'received letters of opposition from adjacent property owners representing 19.67 percent of the land area within 200 feet of the boundary of the proposed district. Twenty percent opposition triggers the requirement of approval by super-majority. The letters of opposition appear in three forms: the form mailed out by the Planning and Development Department, a fam 1 stating a preference for the existing Concept Plan, and a form stating opposition to the proposed zoning change for PD-I 15. At the meeting, staff was presented two additional letters of opposition. Staff did not notice that the tw,) new letters of opposition referred to the Detailed Plan portion of the zoning case (Z•99.073, the i next agenda item). Staff mistakenly considered the new letters as opposition to the Concept Plan and checked them against the letters received prior to the meeting, Staff found that one letter represented a duplication of opposition. while the other represented opposition not previously recorded. Adding the new property in opposition yielded 20.67 percent opposition, triggering the perceived requirement of A. approval by super-majority. Council voted to approve Z-99-061, with additional conditions, with a vote of 4 - 2, The four votes in favor of approval did not achieve super-majority and the request for approval of the Concept Plan was considered denied. 1. i 0 f Detailed Plan (Z-99-073). This case was listed on the agenda but was not considered at the matting because the Concept Plan was not approved by super-majority. Prior to the meeting, staff received letters of opposition from adjacent property owners representing 9.4 percent of the land area wimn 200 feet of the boundary of the proposed Detailed Plan. Further Review. Issues stemming from the mix-up regarding the letters of opposition received at the meeting that are related to the validity of the requirement for approval by super-majority and the standing of the case must be resolved. The Legal Department will provide further infatuation regarding resolution of the issues before or at the work session, pending the completion of ongoing research. PRIOR ACTION I REVIEW (Co all.

' I 1 t t I I I II Ayun' ► AJenda ".rn~ AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET Oaa-I " AGENDA DATE: November9,1999 DEPARTMENT: Planning & Dovelopment Cht/DCM/ACM: Dave Hill, 349.6314 SUBJECT Receive a report, hold a discussion and give staff direction regarding the Fry Street Zoning Overlay District, BACKGROUND The Fry Street Small Area Plan, adopted June 15, 1999 provides a number of recommendations and strategies to address the physical and social concerns identified by Fry Street area stakeholders. Public participation is the key component to the small area planning process. These recommendations represent many months of meetings and workshops with area stakeholders to identify an agreed upon set of goals, ; recommendations and strategies to revitalize the Fry Street area. To date, stakeholders have invested 18+ months in the process to foster community-wide support, while reaching consensus. The plan proposes several recommendations regarding the creation of a Fry Street Zoning Overlay District to address off-street parking, location of solid waste containers, property maintenance, loitering and glass containers; and the creation of a Fry Street Public Improvement District (FSPID). The three main issues in the proposed Zoning Overlay District that must be resolved include; 1. A No Loitering Ordinance -Legal is presently reviewing 2, A No Glass Container Ordinance-Legal is presently reviewing 3. Off-street parking requirements The plan recommends the elimination and exemption of non-residential development from the provision of off-street parking with the establishment of density requirements for massing, height, building coverage and floor to area ratios (FARS). Two additional stakeholder meetings followed the plan's adoption. The plan approved on June 15, 1999 by City Council contains the following recommendations related to off-street parking regulations: Exempt all non-residential development from the provision of off-street parking / t requirements • Maximum building coverage: 100% e FAR: 2:1 I l Height Restriction: 3 stories (not to exceed 45') The recommendation to eliminate parking is a product of the consensus reached by a majority of the Fry Street area participants and is based on the following concerns identified by the stakeholders: a Off-street parking constrains expansion opportunities. a The lack of redevelopment opportunities due to the legal non-conforming use status of most establishments in the area. If use is changed, redevelopment is constrained by the present parking requirements. s Different uses have different parking requirements. Consistent parking regulations are desirable. a Parking is controlled by land contracts between the property owners and business owners. Note: Merchants in the Fry Street area who provide parking for their customers obtain parking in one of two ways. Some merchants have parking leases that are separate from their building leases. These merchants sign a lease with a landowner which stipulates that they pay the landowner a monthly or yearly fee based on the number of spaces needed for their business. This is the method used by the majority of the merchants in the area The remaining merchants have clauses built into their leases which state that the landlord agrees to provide parking which is adequate to meet the requirements of the City of Denton In instances where the parking provided for a business is located on a lot or parcel which is separate from the location of the building, the owner of the lot on which the parking is located is required to file a declaration of restriction with the County Clerk. This declaration must state that the owner agrees to provide a specific number of parking spaces for the use of the business in question for as long as their current certificate of occupancy is in effect. a While wanting to avoid red tape and complications associated with expansion and the provision of off-street parking, maximum build-out of the Fry Street area is not the ultimate goal. Staff has been asked to provide additional information on the present parking situation; characterize the relationship of eliminating parking in the area as it affects the surrounding residential areas; and identify additional parking reduction alternatives and the affect of these reductions on the merchants and property owners expansion and redevelopment opportunities. r r' I t 1 t l Analysts A summary of the existing development and parking in the Fry Street area is presented in Table 1. The gross nonresidential lot area in the Fry Street area is 446,459 s.f. Of this total, 122,040 is developed leaving 324,419 s.f. remaining lot area for nonresidential privale parking. The number of parking spaces required, based on the parking requirements for retail, restaurant and bars, and office uses and approved parking variances are 821. Presently, there are 696 off-street parking spaces provided (81 parking spaces are provided off-site for Voertman's and the Rib Shack).

During the day, off-street parking for merchant customers in the Fry Street area is not a major problem. Parking is usually available in the two parking lots that provide the majority of off-street parking in the area. Students are also allowed to park in these lots for a fee, however students typically choose to park in surrounding on-street spaces (metered parking spaces and in residential neighborhoods surrounding the campus). The impact of students parking in the residential areas makes it difficult to determine what affect, if any, does Fry Street area businesses have on residential areas. During the night, if all of the on-street and off-street parking spaces are used, patrons of the bar and restaurants and UNT students park in the neighboring UNT t °zking lot. The „overflows' into the UNT swdcnt parking lot has been allowed after hours for a number of years, However, UNT representatives have indicated that this is not an indefinite arrangement and at any time, general parking in the lot after hours can be terminated. On-street parking is likely to increase slightly (4 spaces) if traffic improvement proposal is implemented, The Effect of Parking. Requirements on Expansion/Redevelopment portunitien Scenarios of parking at different ratios are presented in Table 2. In calculating the data, the following assumptions are made: Current parking ratio (average) - GFA/Parking Spaces =1175 A One parking space - Lot Area for PaAing/Parking Spaces - 466 s.f. f f'.- Parking ratios are consistently applied to all uses and is applied to the entire area •Required parking = the amount of parking spaces required for the district 1:400 and 1;1000 ratios depici horizontal expansion (vertical expansion 3 i L f c. may not be possible structurally and maybe cost prohibitive) *No parking depicts redevelopment (vertical and horizontal expansion) TABLE 2: PARKING ALTERNATIVES 1.175 (ExIsang) 446,459 122,040 324,419 696 1 : 400 (69% a xpansion) 446,459 206,217 240,242 516 1 :1,000 (150% expansion) 446,459 304,542 141,917 305 Maximum BuVd-out No Parking (Adopted SAP Option) 446,459 892,916 - - Parking Scenario: 1:400 Reducing the parking ratio to 1 parking space for every 400 s.f increases the GFA to , 206,217 s.f. This translates to an expansion of 69%(horizontal). The number of parking spaces is reduced from 696 to 516, thus allowing 180 parking spaces (696 - 516) or 84,000 s.f (180 x 466) of the existing Lot Area for Parking to be used for expansion. Parking Scenario: L 1000 Reducing the parkin, ratio to 1 parking space for every 1000 s.f. increases the GFA to 305,542 s.f, which allows 1501/6 horizontal expansion. Expansion is achieved by removing 182,206 s.f. (or 391 parking spaces) from the existing Lot Area for Parking and adding it to the GFA, Parking Scenario: No parking Eliminating the parking requirements; allowing 100°/u lot coverage and a 2:1 FAR; and timitinp the maximum height to 3 stories, in the most extreme case, allows for maximum build-out of the area. In this scenario, build-out can be any one use allowed in General ' Retail Zoning or any combination of permissible uses. Complete residential ! r: development, includin3 multi-family, is not possible. Off site (remote) parking and/or 11' on-street parking could only accommodate the potential parking demands created Ly this j scenario. Arguably, total build-out orthe Fry Street area tray provide the impetus and 1 stimulus for remote parking opportunities or other innovative or nontraditional parking j 1 .~raiarrrrrr v r Y solutions, Realistically, there Is little economic benefit to many of the merchants, especially restaurant and bar owners to completely remove the customer parking that they presently provide. OPTIONS Option J Direct s aff to initiate a zoning amendment process to create a Fry Street Zoning Overlay District to eliminate all off-street parking requirements and establish building densities and minimum area and height requirements; determine the IocaGon and coasolidation. of solid 1+aste containers; and amend sign regulations for thy, District. Option ! Direct staff to initiate a zoning amendment process to crease a Fry Street Zoning Overlay District to reduce all off-street parking requirements to 1400; determine the location and consolidation of solid waste containers; and amend sign regulations for District. Option 3 Direct staff to initiate a zoning amendment process to create a Fry Street Zoning Overlay District to reduce all off-street parking requirements to 1:1000; determine the location and consolidation of solid waste containers; and amend sign regulations for District. Option 4 Direct staff to research additional alternatives to off-street parking, building densities, winimum area and height requirements, location of solid waste containers, glass cottainers and loitering in the Fry Street area and amend sign regulations for District. RECOL MENDATION Option I is recommended by staff, and is cor 'stent with the plan strategy supported by stakeholders, and re9ccts the Council vote on June 15, 1999. The establishment of a Fry Street Public Improvement District, use of 5350,000 in capital improvements, and private expansion or redevelopment of existing propenirs, are all part of an aggressive strategy to make long lasting improvements in the area, The parking requirements constrain the ` ability to pursue these objectives.

BACKGROUND: Enclosed is a draft copy of the Woler Conservation/Drought Management Plan (Exhibit 1) proposed for the City of Denton. Staffwill give a presentation on this plan and summarize issues that will need the council's input. This plan is a requirement of the TNRCC as a part of the 1 Senate Bill One legislation that followed the 1996 sla(cwlde drought. 1 he Safe Drinking Water Act as amended in 1996 delegated the responsibility for water conservation activities to the states. The State of Texas requirements are outlined In Title 30, Chapter 288, Subchapter A of the Texas Adminis(rative Code (TAG) (Exhibit I1). This Water Conservation Plan follows the guidelines and goals outlined by the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) for Denton. They include strategics to achieve a reduction In per capita water use by 15% over the next fifty years (2000-2050). These goals are based upon a stale Initiative to satisfy the water needs of an expanding population that has finite water resources available for future deveiopmcnl. Freese and Nichols recommended these per capita water use projections (Exhibit 111) as a part of (heir Long-Range Water Supply Study for the City of Denton in 1999. 'I his study was forwarded to (he City of Dallas and the Region C Water Planning Committee to be incorporated into their respective Long-Range Water Supply Plans. Many of the suburban cities in the Dallas-Fort Worth area are observing Increases in their per capita water use as they grow and prosper. T'he Region C Water Planning Committee has recognized (his trend and has recommended that water conservation plans be used to help moderate and reduce the increasing trend in per capita water use, The Region C Water Planning Committee's average per capita water use projections for Denton County are also enclosed (Exhibit IV). These projections indicate that per capita usage will increase on the shod term A , before other factors(such as water conservation plumbing fixtures, higher water rates, conservation based rate structures, and landscaping practices) begin to cause a net decrease In vealcr usc. However, in reviewing Demon's historic per capita water use trends and current water conservation practices, staff fell that the TWDB projections were somewhat conservative 1 t I initially. This allowed a com'ort level to adopt them formally as our long-range water conservation guidelines. The Water Conservation Plan includes many provisions that the City of Denton has previously incorporated into its current utility operations, These include the following: I. The inverted block residential rate s,iw lure. 2. Our current water meter calibration an l , hange out program. 3. Internal and external water audits conducted by star.. 4, The practice to fully mcler all uses, especially by the City of Denton. 5. High/Low bill monitoring program. 6. The public education and public information efforts by our existing staff that promote water conservation practices, leak detection/prevention measures, low water use irrigation systems and Xeriscape landscaping. Title 30, Chapter 288, Subchapter A of the Texas Administrative Code (TAC) (Exhibit V) also required public water suppliers to develop and implement drought contingency plans. These plans are designed to assist a water utility during periods of extended droughts or other short- term limitations in water supply. The draft Drought Management Plan was develol, ad to be similar to the Dallas Water Utilities' proposed plan. This plan provides flexibility to handle a range of emergency conditions where demand side management is both beneficial and necessary to meet customers' essential water needs. This plan details what events or situations could trigger a need to implement demand management measures, what types of watercustomers or uses would be effected, and how these measures would be communicated to the pubic. The need to coordinate Denton's plan with the Dallas plan was deemed appropriate due to the following: I. The water supply reservoirs shared by the two cities (Lake Ray Roberts and Lake Lcwisvil le), 2. 1 he fact that Denton is an untreated water supply customer of Dallas and will be effected by restrictions that may be initiated by the Dallas plan. 3. The desire for consistency in communication to customers in a television and media market common to many diferent water utility entities. The plan identifies three different types of water shortage situations which might occur and that would result in different types of demand side management strategies. These are listed below-. 1. Typc A - Walcr supplies are low. 2 Type B - Water demand approaches system capacity. 3. Type C - Short-term deficiencies limit supply capability. The plan also identifies four stages of the management strategies designed to address the severity of the water supply shortage situation. These are listed below! r , A 1. Stage I -Water Awareness. f j' v 2. Stage 2 - Water Watch, 3, Stage 3 - Water Warning. t t I I 4. Stage 4 - Water Emergency. A summary of the trigger conditions for the three types of water shortages and four stages of the management plan can be found in Exhibit VI. These trigger conditions are based upon similar trigger conditions used in the Dallas Water Utilities proposed Drought Management Plan. Specific questions to considee from a policy perspective are listed below: I . How strong or a tool are we willing to provide for demand side management? 1. %'Mat classes of uc:rs or types of uses do we want to restrict first and for each stage of the plan? 3. What type of water rationing plan do we adopt - (oddleven, twice a week, five day, seven day, ban on outside use). 4. Trigger conditions - gradual (early) verses steep (late) ramp up, 5. Administrative penalties / enforcement options (warnings, fines, increased rates, cutoffs, cct.)

I he goal of Iht• City is to achieve a minimum overall water consumption per capita reduction of lilleen percent (15°6) by 2050. This decrease in water consumption will effectively reduce mater demands, thcrchy increasing the service capacity of the mater and wastewater systems. Another goal orthe pl;ui is to idcnlify situations where unaccounted for water use is occurring. This will determinc urc.I. to use tyater more efficiently throughout the city.

Dk mt m Water Utilities %yaicr auditors and other department personnel use Oils manual so there is a pcmeral understanding of the program. IIACKCROI I ND: The Single-Family Residential Water Audit Program Introduces an education tool that will educate the f,uhlic about water conservation. The intent is to actively demonstrate how customers can conserve tracer to lessen the Impact of high water and sewer bills. This will inrolve auditinu as well as retrofitting domestic plumbing fixtures with water efficient hardware. In addition, m vasurement of water used on landscaped areas will help reveal alinu;d water requiremamis n edcd for irrigated areas. Expansion to all customers wilt high water use patterns, tsitliln the CIIN. will occur as the program grows. PURPOSE:: I he Resfdemial Water Audit Program evaluates existing water use and actively demonstrates eater sayings Techniques in single-family homes. Audits begin with an analysis of current versus prc%iou: water bills, Interior plumbing fixtures are also measured for efficiency so the customer can make a determination about retrofitting those fixtures with water efficient linrda'are, tth,.h includes showcrheads, faucet aerators and toilet dams. A comprehensive j uuldoor %kato use analysis demonstrates existing and required outdoor water use on the lundscapc, Cu tomvrs with automatic sprinkler systems can also take advantage of the irrigation audit, rthcrebN an evaluation of sprinkler precipitation rates determine required %satcring frequency and 1 imes for the clock-controller, i f i I 24 (1 ought'ConsQt 11 ion, Plan Ifl 1499 e DENTON WATER UTILITIES WATER CONSERVATION AUDIT PROGRAM !br mare nrmmu, r oa water Mnservadon fall dlJLW4 '1u il7 Rec ra l Nam¢ A ress: ronc~ f No~ ~ T_...

An cxv oded drought causes this condition. The best opportunity to respond to a drought is curb in the drought cycle. Drought Contingency measures should stress overall reductions in water demand (i.e., average-day water demand). • For a 11 we B situation, in ehich the water demand approaches the delivery capacity of the s%~tem, tie peak water demand will be critical, and corresponding drought contingency measures should stress water-use reductions or shifts to off-peak hours. In this situation. the ultimate goal of Stages 1, 2, and 3 will be to avoid triggering the next stage. A Stage 4 trigger requires immediate and severe stater demand reductions. equipment or system failures that result from increased stresses to the transmission, treatment, or distribution systems can worsen a Type B situation. An ino rase in water demand causes this condition. In the short term, this typically occurs during de summer months when irrigation requires more seater. In the long term, it could v ,tur if treatmerd plant or distribution system expansions do not keep puce with the grossth in cons-.tmer demand. Drought contingency measures should stress reductions in peak sl ater demand or redistribution of the demand to off-peak hours. • For a lire ('situation Ahere deficiencies limit the supply capacity, both water-use reducti,ais and shifts to off-peak hours may be necessary. Although the area involved may he localized, immediate action requiring water demand reduction is necessary, j Depcruing upon the severity of the triggering conditions, it is feasible that the plan could 1 proccr, immediately to implementation of stage 3 or stage 4. A break in a large , transmission main, mechanical failure to one or more large pumps, or production plant breakd,tsn causes this condition. Contamination of water supplies or other unforeseen occuirrnces may also instigate this condition. They may arise ssith little seaming and rcciuirr immediale and'or aggressive actions.

BACKGROUND At the August 18, 1998 meeting, the City Council approved a six-year tax abatement for the United Copper Industries, inc., facility located on Geesling Road, The tax abatement agreement pro-ides a 25% abatement based on the following thresholds: Valuation; $35 Million Employment: 250 Average Wage: $34,000 The agreement states that if United Copper fails to meet any of the above thresholds, the abatement is reduced by the percentage difference between the threshold and the actual amount. The Appraisal District confirmed land, building and equipment valuation at $33,376,130. The amotmt eligible for abatement is $31,770,704 (building improvements and equipment - land value is not eligible for tax abatement). Please note, these amounts do not include inventory valuation estimated at another $3 million. The Appraisal District reports that some inventory valuation may be eligible for Freeport Exemption, but they had not firWized those figures at the time this report was written. United Copper 1 provided employment and wage information which is included in the following thresholds; l % of Threshold Valuation Eligible for Tax Abatement $31,770,704 90.77% Employment 160 64.00% Average Wage $31,052 91.33% Council may have read an article that appeared in the Denton Record-Chronicle regarding a layoff at the United Copper facility this summer due to the price of copper dropping very low. United Copper has postponed starting up the rod mill because they can t 4 I li III I, I I l I currently purchase the copper rod at a lower price than they can manufacture it. This is the reason the employment threshold was not met. United Copper anticipates meeting the employment figure by the end of the year. Had United Co i pper met all thresholds, they would have received $40,361 in abatement from the City of Denton. Since only 64% of the employment threshold was met this year, United Coppcr will receive 64% of that amount as per the agreement. The reduction will also apply to the Denton Independent School District agreement. The County's agreement is based solely on valuation thresholds, therefore, United Copper should receive the full 35% abatement from Denton County.

The adjusted abatement is $103,816.

The original ordinance was very restrictive and t.iade compliance difficult. A task force made up of a diverse group of staff members all of who cre involved in providing media support was formed to review the logo and establish a policy for use. The charge of the task force was to review the current ordinance and establish a policy for use that was easy to understand and allowed department flexibility. Using the policy from the Unkersity of North Texas as a model, the task force drafted a new policy that is easier to understand and less restrictive. The second goal for the task force was to allow for more individual department initiatives and espirit de corps. The policy ensures appropriate use of the City Seal for the most solemn and serious purposes of the City. establishes a new City logo that is easily identifiable, and maintains the official flag logo as established in the original policy white allowing department and program markers for easy identification of specific areas. OPTIONS: Option I Direct staff to bring forth the appropriate legal instruments to approve the Publication Standards and Usage Policy No. 505,02 and establish a nee. City logo. Option 2 Keep the current logo and policy in place. RFCOMMENDATIONSi ' -A, The Public Information Task Force recommends approval of the Publication Standards and j Usage Policy No. 505,02. 1 i ESTIMATED SCIIEDULE OF PROJECT: Upon passage of the appropriate enabling legislation, the City of Denton logo will become the ofTicial logo used on supplies and equipment. Current supplies will be depleted and the new logo used as supplies are replenished FISCAL INFORMATION: Current budgeted funds will be used to replenish supplies and no new expenditures will be necessary.

By utilizing a standing legislative committee - with representation from all affected City departments - to prioritize bills and develop strategics for proposed legislation, work directly with the legislatate, and network with sympathetic partners, the City can more effectively protect its interests during legislative sessions. The DLC includes Betty Williams, Gary Matheson, Howard Martin, David Hill, Kathy DuBose, and Ross Chadwick. Julie Smith chairs the DLC and acts as the liaison between the City Manager's Office and the DLC. In turn, each member is responsible for communications between the DLC and their individual departments concerning legislative issues and strategies. As the DLC representatives bring issues and bills to the table, a list of relevant bills will be maintained for [racking purposes. Each bill will have a representative that is responsible for tracking the bill, Bills that appear to be on a "fast track" will receive top r r A, priority. - E 1 t. Once a bill has been identified as "moving," the DLC will develop a strategy to either support or defeat the bill, (it is far easier to kill a bill than to initiate and effectively support new legislation.) This process will involve looking at potential partners, interest groups and the need for a consultant's assistance. Staff strongly recommends retaining a legislative consultant(s) for the duration of the session. It is critical to have eyes and ears on the hill. Otherwise, Denton is simply too far away to receive information and respond quickly. In addition to an active presence, a good const,ltanl will have better access to the legislative process. The DLC anticipates meeting monthly, beginning January of next year, The DLC will develop a legislative plan (the City's platform), explore possible proactive legislation, and identify problematic bills likely to be introduced in the next session (January 2001, the 77`h session). Once the Legislature is called into Session, the DLC will have to meet more frequently, twice a month or more, April and May will probably requireweekly meetings. June will provide an opportunity for the DLC to review the Session, analyze successes and failures, and organize for the interim committee work. The City's platform - the City's position on Important issues for the upcoming session - should be finalized by early spring (March/April) of 2000. This document will be presented to City Council for consideration. If approved, the platform will be used for coordination with other organizations. Though the session does not officially begin until January 2001, coalitions are formed, deals are cut, and language Is drafted by Fall of 2000. It is critical that the City plan early for the legislative session. Many other legislative organizations (TPPA, CPAT, TRAPS, etc.) finalize their own platforms by early summer. By adopting the City's platform beforehand, the City's representatives can bring the City's issues to state-wide organizations for consideration in , their platform. For instance, Ed Hodney, as a board member for TRAPS (Texas Recreation and Parks Society) or Howard Marlin, as a board member for TPPA (Texas Public Power Association), can request that their respective organizations include the City's issues - relevant to that organization - in the organization's legislative platform. This creates a double front at the legislature, strengthening the chance of the City's platform succeeding. In the interim (pun intended), there are several critical senate interim committees which merit the City's attention (Please sec Exhibit I.) These committees will be making reports to the Legislature, forming the basis for legislation in the next Session These committees are beginning to meet, and the DLC is tracking their activities. t . z i° Also attached is information concerning the Sunset Commission, its purpose, a list of its members, and a list of the agencies up for review by the 77u' Legislative Session, (Please see Exhibit 11.)

Cale la. us'lunseb'runsefa hlm 1 Gen'bral IntorhIM6Ia rbqueridy A~*f~odtiJQu t ojn FAt ~ The Texas Legislature created the Sunset Advisory Commission in 1977 to identify and eliminate waste, duplication, and inefficiency in government agencies. The 10-member Commission reviews the policies and programs of more than 150 state agencies and questions the need for each agency; looks for duplication of other public services or programs; and considers changes to improve each agency's operations and activities. The Commission seeks public input through hearings on every agency under Sunset review and recommends actions on each agency to the full Legislature. In most cases, agencies under Sunset review are automatically abolished unless legislation is enacted to continue them. What law created and governs the Sunset Advisory Commission? The Texas Sunset Act can be found at Section 325.001 of the Texas Government Coda What is Sunset? i Sunset is the regular assessment of the need for a slate agency to exist. While standard legislative oversight is concerned with agency compliance with legislative policies, Sunset asks a more basic question: Do the agency's functions continue to be ncedc i7 Vie Sunset process works by setting a date on which an agency will be abolished unless legislation is pa.scd to continue its functions. This creates a unique opportunity for the Legislature to look closely at each agency and make fundamental changes to an agency's mission or operations if needed. The Sunset process is guided by a 10-member body appointed by the Lieutenant Governor and the Speaker f of the House of Representatives. Assisting the Commission is a staff whose reports provide an assessment of an agency's programs, giving the Legislature information needed to draw conclusions about program necessity and workability, /loft, is an Agency Scheduled for Review Under Sunset? About 150 state agencies are subject to the Texas Sunset Act. The Sunset Act, which became effective in August 1977, specifies each agency's review date. Agencies under Sunset typically undergo review once every twelve years. Certain agencies, such as universities and courts, are not subject to the Sunset Act. Sonic constitutionally created agencies, such as the Board of Pardons and Faroles and the Board of Trustees of the Teacher Retirement System of Texas, are subject to Sunset review but not abolishment. Gcncraily, the Legislature groups and schedules agencies for review by function to allow the examination of all major state policies related to a particular function at once, such as health and human services, natural resources, and financial regulation. About 20 to 30 agencies go through the Sunset process each lcgislative session. The Legislature may change the review schedule to enable a close look at certain agencies. By using the Sunset process to examine agencies that are of special legislative interest, the y legislature further strengthens the accountability of state agencies. l - 11o is, are Agencies Reviewed? aLff of the Sunset Commission wcrk extensively with each agency under review to evaluate the need for the agency, propose needed statutory or management changes, and develop legislation necessary to 1 „r, ~;3 EXHIBIT 11 1 1 i I I I'~ 1 i General Information and FAQ htiP)/%%■.aunaeLahle h ud~unaeL'auroch.him implement any proposed changes. Sunset staff uses specific standards set by the Legislature to evaluate each of the programs and functions of a state agency placed under Sunset review. These standards are located at ¢ 325,011 of the Government Code. The staffreview of an agency typically takes from three to eight months depending on the size and complexity of the agency. Sunset staff gathers information from a broad range of sources. Asa part of the review process, each agency submits a Self-Evaluation Rep41S (SERI to the Sunset Commission. The SER identifies problems, opportunities, and issues that tt r igency feels should be considered in the Sunset review. Sunset staff also solicits j" from interest groups and professional organizations and encourages public inW and discussion of agency functions. Once the evaluation phase of the review is completed, Sunset staff publishes a tenon containing statutory and management recommendations. The Sunset Commission conducts a p j c hearnu on each agency under review after publication of the staff report. The public hearing provides an opportunity for Sunset staff to discuss its recommendations, for the agency to formally respond to the staff reconuncndalions, and for the public to comment on the report and agency operations and policies. This allows for broad public input into the Sunset process and begins the Commission's consideration of potential changes to recommend to the Legislature in the form of Sunset legislation. All information presented to the Commission at the public hearing, whether submitted orally or in a t icing, is reviewed and compiled. The Commission meets to review the input received and to make decisions on whether to abolish an agency orcontinue it with changes. Persons interested in being placed on Sunset's mailing list and receiving the review schedule, meeting schedule, meeting agendas, staff reports, ordecision materials should contact the Sunset Commission Staff. What Changes Can Be Made Through Sunset? The Commission's report on an agency must include a recommendation to abolish or continue the agency and may also contain recommendations. If the Commission recommends continuation of an agency, the Commission must provide draft legislation to the Legislature to continue for up to 11 years, and correct other problems identified during the Sunset review. Although not required by law, the Commission's legislative members traditionally introduce and carry Sunset legislation. The Sunset Commission has also developed a set of standard recommendations that are applied to agencies. These Across-Ihe-Board recommendations (ATBs) reflect an effort by the Legislature to place policy directives on agencies to prevent problems from occurring, instead of reacting to problems after the fact. The Commission's ATBs are an outgrowth of revic v standards contained in the Sunset Act and are designed to ensure open, responsive, and effective guvernrnent. Examples of ATBs include increasing public representation on the agency's policy board, improving responsiveness to complaints filed by the public, and implementing a standard approach to equal employment opportunity. An agency is automatically abolished unless the Legislature passes legislation to continue the agency. If an agency is abolished, the Sunset Act provides for a one-year wind-down period to conclude its operations. The agency retains full authority and responsibility until the end of that year, when all property and records are transferred to an appropriate state agency. How Does Sunset Coordinate with Other Oversight Agencies? A, The Sunset Commission is one of several agencies charged with monitoring state agency performance. These other oversight agencies include the Slate Auditor, ISQjslatht Budget Board, Comnlroller of Public Accounts, Governor's Office of Budget and Planning, and Legislative Commit,ees. Sunset regularly coordinates with these agencies to reduce the possibility ofduplication of effort and to assist in identifying issues that may he addressed by Sunset or another agency. r. 2of3 44 1I199409PM f< I General Infornution m6 FAQ http Jlwvw,mnrer.rnte u, ua4umeVSunkta htm tr How many agencies have been abolished since the beginning of Sunset? The Sunset process has streamlined and changed state government. Since the first reviews, 43 agencies have been abolished and another 10 agencies hive been consolidated. In addition, even as the scope of reviews has expanded, the Legislature has adopted a large majority of the recommendations of the Sunset Commission. The most significant changes resulting from Sunset reviews are summarized in the Guide to the Sunset Process (PDF). Has Sunset saved the State any money? The fiscal impact of Sunset recommendations over time can be estimated through fiscal note data. Estimates from reviews conducted between 1982 and 1999 indicate a potential 18-year revenue generation savings of $663.2 million, compared with expenditures of 513.9 million for the Sunset Commission. Based on these estimates, for every dollar spent on the Sunset process, the State has received $48 in retum How many other states have Sunset laws?

BACKGROaND Community Workshop Process: On September 30, 1999, City of Denton and Chamber of Commerce economic development staff hosted a community workshop on the partnership's economic development efforts. The purpose of the workshop was to provide information to the i participants and to solicit their input. The workshop participants were asked to make recommendations to be used to form the goals and challenges for the next two-year plan, Nearly seventy citizens participated in the workshop. Linda Ratliff and Melissa Maples made presentations on the following topics: History of the economic development partnership + • Tax base Development incentives • Why industries locate • Marketing plan • Target industries Facilitator Peter Laux then asked those fa sent to respond to four questions: 1, That do you remember (from the information presented) as most important to you? What %%as your reaction? Were vu happy, mad, excited, surprised, etc.? 3. What are the anticipated impacts if Denton did or did not do these things? 4. What would you like the CitylChambcr to do? It was explained that responses to question 04 Kould be used to formulate the next strategic plan. A representative from each of the eleven tables was asked to share their group's response on "What would you like the City'C'hamber to do?" (pages AS and A9 A attached). In addition, participants were encouraged to respond individually to the same ! four questions, Forty-throe of those present provided individual comments (pages A10 ~1 through A20). i A review of all "question H4" comments revealed eight focus categories: 1. Target Industries: Several comments reflected the need to target environmentally sound businesses. Some approved of the current target list while others wanted a more broad range of industries. Industries specifically mentioned were corporate headquarters, service, medical, and high-tech. Many suggested we fucus on high- payingjobs and industries that required an educated workforce. 2. ,4forketing: Some asked we create a marketing video that focused more on Denton as a quality community. They suggested we use the unique natural features of Denton Others asked that we set the policylmarket plan parameters and then accept all comers. It was also recommended that property owners and developers take a higher role in promoting economic development. i 3. Incentives: We received several suggestions regarding incentives. Fifty individuals ! provided specific recommendations on incentives, and those results are provided in E Attachment B. Suggestions ranged from "end incentives" to "simplify and define criteria." In addition, some recommended that we create incentives to retain small businesses. 4. Business Retention: Participants suggested we provide stronger support and promote our current industries. Assistance to small and start-up businesses was also mentioned. 5. University Partnerships: Par °cipants want us to develop a stronger partnership with the universities with regard to economic development. & Industrial Site%/Buildings: Comments varied regarding sites. Some centered around promoting specific sites to target industries and providing upgraded site information. Others asked that we market existing empty buildings and develop stricter environmental reviews. 7. Workforce.- Participants suggested that we bring all educational and training institutions to the table and conic up with a plan on how to meet the workforce demands. Also, schools should be encouraged to develop programs tailored to manufacturing needs. 8. Process: We learned that many liked the public information meetings and j appreciated the information provided. We received comments on streamlining the development process and a need to impruve our anti-developer tag. One also suggested that we do more modeling to learn from "ideal" communities. City and Chamber staff have already begun discussions on developing our strategic plan A. based on The community workshop participants' comments. We will also bring staff recommendations on issues that were not mentioned in the public process. For example, we want to address other citizen and developer informational needs. We plan to create a .2. 1 l 1 ~ tr i s document that represents a complete demographic profile of Denton. We envision a quarterly brochure that contains all of the demographic data that is currently updated randomly and provided in separate documents. We welcome suggestions from City Council on other strategies or activities you may want included in the plan. Specific Quertions on Funding and Incentives: Participants were also asked to respond to two specific questions for City Council. 1. At what level do you believe the City should fund the Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Program? responded to this (Thirty-two question.) 2. Which economic Incentives do you feel are appropriate? (Fifty responded to this question.) Attachment B provides the participants' feedback on these two questions. With regard to funding level, thirteen indicated they believe funding should be reduced or that the City's percentage should be decreased (of those, five recommended no funding). Twelve suggested we maintain the current funding, and two recommend an increase. In response, the Chamber of Commerce has already initiated efforts to increase private sector contributions. The numbers are very close, in many cases, with regard to the question asking which incentives are considered most appropriate for our economic development toolbox. Council will be asked tonight to give staff direction regarding the current Tax Abatement Policy, which expires January 27, 2000. We hope the attached citizen feedback will be helpful in your decision process. DIRECTION Staff requests direction on two issues. I . Economic Development Strategic Plan: After reviewing the feedback from the community workshop, do you concur with the areas in which we need to focus economic development activities during the next two years? Do you have additional areas you wish to include? 2. Tax Abatement Policy: Do you wish to consider adopting a new tax abatement policy in January 2000? If so, would you like the Joint Tax Abatement Committee to prepare a draft for your review? r~ I •3• A r: i ~I ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT Copies of your attachments have been mailed to the 55 participants who signed the community workshop sign-in sheets, Along with the copies, we included a feedback form (Attachment D) to solicit additional input on the identified focus areas. City and Chamber staff wM incorporate citizen input and Council's comments into the plan. We will present a draft of the strategic plan to Council at the December 10 meeting for discussion and direction. Workshop prAicipants will also receive draft and final copies of the plan.

The city should continue supporting the Chamber at its current level particularly since the Chamber has recruitment resources (as long as it pays oft)). This seems very controversial and I would like more information, • I agree with the cooperative funding that is being done now. • The current level is the minimum we should consider. • Continue appropriate level. • The 73% level or 3:1 ratio is appropriate. Economic development Is everyone's responsibility as every citizen reaps the benefit. s 75% City of Denton 25% Private Sector. • Continue current partnership to pursue economic development. • I would continue on the current path. The city Is contracting for a service that the city has decided to providel It doesn't matter that the contractor is the Chamber. • Present level is OK. • I believe the current level from the city is good. The chamber can (needs to) work at increasing its level of funding. • 100% in agreement. Increase funding- (1) • Established goals are far too conservative, as is the funding of the effort. Funding should be increased dramatically. • To the maximum amount available) Comments not included in above count: • Not at all unless they can demonstrate a return on the investment, They need to sell us on their vision. • City Council decision. I'm not privy enough to decide this. • Adjust based on effectiveness and need. • No tax abatement.

Tax abatement Is grossly misunderstood. Tea many people want this community to remain the same (population) but it won't happen. e Tax Abatements should be offered to a diverse group • Tax abatements should be used s Wurk with legislature to do away with tax abatements altogether since abatements arc inherently unfair and they give a message that our city is "for sale".

AIi of the totals on the previous two pages (excluding these exceptions) reflect a "no" next to each incentive front allf ve participants. GENERAL COMMENTS: The following general comments were written on the response sheets for the funding/iacentive questions. • Any business moving into Denton and receiving abatement or services etc. from the city, then the city should require that the business should provide "set aside" purchases of goods and services from local businesses in Denton. Retail (commercial) doesn't provide the high paying jobs this community needs. Retail is the only business that happens without encouragement, i • Land owners should help spearhead growth, and the City and Chamber should work together instead of separately on economic development. • No business has lowered the tax rate. One third of the work force leaves to go to the mctroplex - rest coma into Denton to work from small towns. Where is God in your planning? Remember the Bible says, "Unless the Lord builds the house thy labor in vain", • Denton is an organic entity ...living beings and machines must co-exist "Growth" must seriously take Into consideration the soul and spirit of the community. We can't be followers when we dream of this future growth. Growth manifests through traffic, advertising, new construction, services and all related clutter. Growth must be a worthwhile vision - or call it what it is - simple self-serving manipulation of resources for immediate gratification. • An economic development board could be developed if did not entail a tax increase or a real or perceived creation of entrenched bureaucracy. In fact, l suspect most voters expect the city to do thejob of economic development. May fear a city/big business complex. ' A, , r 825 I. Summar ze a ea. Discussed as they are un crstood.

Diverse opinions were difficult to express but hardly possible with this large oft group, 'this type of meeting rega!res a lot of promoting and one-on-one soliciting. May be hard to organize next meeting. 4. 1 appreciate the opportunity to make an Input. the meeting formal Is good, Hopefully, there is enough objectivity In this community to have meaningful 2-way discussions S. Meting 1) Would like to have more "factual" Information (the United Copper chart), and 2) would like to have seen what the City has done for economic developmem. 6. The initial prese .tat ions seemed one-slded, I.e. that all economic development is good. Based on that premise, I could not adequately find a place rut my comments. T, Good formal. Good facilitator. Questions should be written in cleaner and more precise manner. Term "industry" turns some people against program at onset. I'm not sure of a better term - perhaps "business and industry". i n g, 1 liked mewing the people in my group and having the opportunity to exchange information. I defnltely needed prior Information. N 9. Congratulations on a well-organized meeting. I hope the future hold more, especially on Individual Issues of great public concern, which affect the future ofour community. Thanks. 10, Appreciate the organlzed manner of malerials and comfortable seeing. We hope the comments will be taken VERY seriously. 11, Ihis meeting was vcry Informative and encouraging it was well organized with a nice mix of activitles to keep the audience Involved.

Concepts of gds forum'w orkshop are a great idea 1 would like to wean opportunity to make a short 30-second statement to the group. I would like more time for Q& A. 11. The meeting provided an open forum for individuals to express their concerns, etc. 18 . The meeting moved in a timely manner. Thanks. The staff (City and Chamber) did a goodjob, u . t.~ 19, Would you please make a copy (accurate if possible) of all the report sheets and mail these to the participants. 20. Yes, I do feel that my time was well spent. 21, lhanks for allowing our p"cipatlon. 21 The meeting gave some sense of what some citizens think about what is going on In economic development, I think it is a bad Idea to show videos, They tend to be more propaganda than Informative. It was a nice touch to have a light supper before the meeting. 23. 1 think that as a plan Is developed it will be shared with the public via similar forums. 24. Thought this was s good meeting. Shows that there are two sldes and we can't satisfy everyone. 23. Enjoyed the open forum. Would like to expand this into a longer and more frequent forum. 26, The format worked well, public meetings area good idea. I t ATTACHMENT D ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY WORKSHOP STRATEGIC PLAN FEEDBACK SHEET Dear Workshop Panicipant: Thank you for your interest in economic development. Your input at the September 30`^ workshop was very valuable, and we continue to request your participation in this process. As promised, we are enclosing a copy of all comments submitted by those who attended (Attachments A, B & Q. As you may remember, your comments to the question, "What do you want the City/Chamber to do" are being used to help form the goals of our next two-year strategic plan. These are the areas we have identified: t. Target Industries: Several comments reflected the need to target environmentally sound businesses. Some approved of the current target list while others wanted a more broad range of industries. Industries specifically mentioned were corporate hiadquaners, service, medical, and high-tech. Many suggested we focus on high-paying jobs and t tdustries that required an educated workforce. 2. Marketing: Some asked we create a marketing video that facused more on Denton as a quality community. They suggested we use the unique natural features of Denton, Others asked that we set the policy/market plan parameters and then accept all comers. It was also recommended that property owners and developers take a higher role in promoting economic development. 3. Incentives: We received several suggestions regarding incentives. Fifty individuals provided specific recommendations on incentives, and those resets are provided in Attachment B. Suggestions ranged from "end incentives" to "simplify and define criteria." In addition, some recommended that we create incentives to retain small businesses. 4. Business Retention: Participants suggested we provide stronger support and promote our current industries, Assistance to small and start-up businesses was also mentioned. S. University Partnerships: Participants want us to develop a stronger partnership with the universities with regard to economic development. 6. Industrial Sites/Buildings: Comments varied regarding sites. Some centered around promoting specific sites to target industries and providing upgraded site information, Others asked that we market existing empty buildings and develop stricter environmental reviews. 7. Workforce: Participants suggested that we bring all educational and tra.ining institutions to the table and conic up with a plan on how to meet the workforce demands. Also, schools should be encouraged to develop programs tailored to manufacturing needs. 8. Process: We learned that many liked the public information meetings and appreciated the A, information provided. We rccrivrd comments on streamlining the development process and a need to improve our anti-developer tag. One also suggested that we do more modeling to learn from "ideal" communities. D28 1.1 Nest Steps: • We would ;ike you to take a minute to revi.w the eight categories and complete the attached Feedback Form. We ask that you return the form by November 15°i.

BACKGROUND i The petitioner requests the property be annexed and zoned with a permanent Commercial (C) zoning district classification and use designation on approximately 7.2 acres out of the 9.2 acres (see Attachment 9). There are presently on two dwelling units and one business, Maverick Acoustic, Inc., located on the site. There are three permanent residents residing on the property. The properly owners desire to develop a portion of the property as a commercial center. SUGGESTED RECOMMENDATION The draft Land Use Plan indicates that this area should be developed as a Neighborhood Center area. Since this property is outside of the city limits, annexation is the logical step to ensure ' development is consistent with the City of Denton's Comprehensive Plan, It will provide the City of Deaton the authority to regulate land use based upon a zoning classification. Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council conduct a thorough analysis regarding this request for annexation and zoning by approving the attached annexation public hearing schedule (see Attachment 7). Approval of this schedule will allow staff to proceed with the formal annexation review process, I PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (Council. Boards.

BACKGROUND Council last reviewed the draft Comprehensive Plan during the October 26'h work session, limiting attention to the following chapters: Chapters Review on October 26'b f # 1 - Introduction # 2 - Population Forecasts N 3 - Growth Management & Land Use N 4-Housing 4 6 - Transportation HI4 -Urban Design #16 - The Street #17 -The Edge #21 - Implementation i # 18 - Schools d 19 - Maintenance & Enforcement #20- Public Imoh•ement Council-authorized revisions made on October 260i have been incorporated into the revised draft Plan, attached as Exhibit A. Council Member Cochran will offer a revised version of the Vision Statement on November 9'h. Although Council members may have other issues they may want to address, staff had identified fwe major topics that should be discussed. These topics include; Topic #I: Density & Density Transfer (Gross vs, Neti Fhe issue of single family development density was discussed at length and significant changes wets made. Neighborhood Centers, which were originally designated with an average density of four dwelling units per acre (DUA), w'erc changed to three DUA, net of required dedications and statutory requirements. "the land use plan would have lobe revised to reflect the additional land area needed to accommodate projected population growth, would raise average lot size to 14, $20 square feet, and r would require nearly 19,000 square feet of land area to support one lot, Exhibit B contains a series of A, , land use plans intended to portray the revisions requested, including the expanded mixed use regional center located along the 1-33A' corridor, and other information that compares the impact of the residential revisions if they were hypothetically applied to existing Denton neighborhoods. The recisions are also reflected in the text of the drag Plan in Exhibit A. I I t r, Topic N2; Legal Revlew t As Per Council instructions on October 26`h, consulting land use attorney Terry Morgan reviewed the draft Plan, and submitted the comments attached as Exhibit C. Planning and Legal staff met on November 4 h to discuss revisions that are warranted from a legal standpoint, and further information will be provided during the November 9 work session. Planning staff has no objections to reformatting the draft Plan to ensure consistency between chapter I recommendations, the implementation strategy, and the ordinance. Pending Council discussion, staff f is prepared to make non-substantive format changes immediately after the November 9'h work session. I` Topic 0 Interim Plan Guidelines An issue discussed at length at the October 20h work session was that of interim Comprehensive Plan implementation, during the period between Plan adoption and adoption of a new development code. Staff recommends the use of separate guidelines to be adopted by Council, describing how the Plan will be used to review development proposals until the new code is available. The most important use of the interim guidelines would be to describe the criteria to be used by staff P&Z and City Council when evaluating rezoning applications. Topic N4: 1-3514' Retignal Mixed Use Center In response to Council comments, the 1-35W Regional Mixed Use Center has been expanded to preserve the opportunity to accommodate a "corporate corridof' that is well planned and designed, As is the case with the other regional centers, geographically specific development requirements will be prepared that will unique. The changes made by staff (seen in comparison between Map A and Map B in Exhibit B) resulted in an $12 acre increase for the 1-35W Regional Center Topic HS: Other Revisions & Adoption Timing Staff is prepared to make any other revisions deemed necessary by Council. The draft Plan public hearing, continued from October 19`h, is scheduled to be resumed at the November le Council meeting. Depending on the extent of revisions, Council may elect to delay Plan adoption to a later 1 date, The only regular Council meeting scheduled for the remainder on 1999 will be held on December 11h. OPTIONS Exhibit B contains comparisons between different density options. Primary issues involved in the evaluation of the density options include: (1) the relative size of the service area that all taxpayers will have to support: (2) the impact of net versus gross density on the city's ability to secure more land through dedication; and (3) the extent to which quality objectives are influenced by lot size. RECONNENDATIONS Staff recommendations cover the five topic listed previously: Topic M1; Density & Density Transfer tQrQss vs. Net Using the average residential density of three dwelling units per acre, net of dedications and other statutory requirements, amounts to an average 14,520 square feet (SF) lot size with another 4,500 SF A of lot area needed to accommodate typical dedications and casements. If further land area is to be dedicated for open space, floodplain preservation, or environmental protection purposes, the average ../r 14,520 SF net lot size will easily exceed an average 23,000 SF gross lot size, which reduces effective density to 2 dwelling units per acre or less. If density is restricted to this extent, many of the existing neighborhoods in I)enton would not have been permitted, the residential land area requiring municipal 2 C (i services for the same population would double, and the ability of the city to own and protect natural tloodplain areas would be significantly limited. If Council is willing to reconsider the "average 3 DUA Nei" density, the following approach is suggested: Interim Residential Density; Until New Develonrneat Codes Adopted ♦ Baseline Densities: Single Family density should be a maximum of 3 dwelling units per gross acre, and Multi-Family density should be a maximum of 14 dwelling units per gross acre, upon a showing of compliance with minimum "quality guidelines," and subject to assessment of public facilities adequacy. ♦ Fliehcr densities: Allowed only when proposed development demonstrates full consistency with the comprehensive plan, subject to assessment of public facilities adequacy, ♦ Limited density transfers should be considered on a case specific basis, with a clear public or neighborhood benefit resulting from such a transfer. If Council endorses such an approach, an interim ordinance will be prepared by staff for consideration immediately after the Plan is adopted. The interim ordinance would be rescinded once the new development code is adopted. Lone-Term Residential Density: ♦ Average Densities: Single Family density should average 3 dwelling units per gross acre, and Multi-Family density should average 14 dwelling units per gross acre, in existing and new residential areas identified in the comprehensive plan. The zoning map generated as part of the new development code will balance density through the identification of individual zoning districts. ♦ 13ensity Transfer Standards will be developed and codified to provide clear relationships between use by the developer and the benefits expected by the city. i ♦ Desian and Environmental Standards will be developed and codified as explained in the comprehensive plan. ♦ Single Family to Multi-Fa it Polio should be monitored and regulated by ordinance to maintain the balance established in the comprehensive plan. The regulated balance should address a 20-year time horizon ♦ Adequate Public Facilities requirements should be drafted and adopted, separate from the development code. A strategy should be prepared to determine the type of facilities that will be aflccacd. how impacl3 will be assessed, what form the requirements should take, and the extent to which impact fees influence the requirements. Topic Q; Lei all vi w t 1 Staff recommends that non-substantive format changes be made immediately to improve the legal suflicicncy of the document. 3 (i 4 Topic N3: Interim Plan Culdelines Staff recommends the use of interim guidelines to be adopted by Council, describing how the Plan will be used to review development proposals until the new code is available. Topic W: 1.35W Regional Mixed Use Center Staff recommends that the regional mixed use center be revised as described in Exhibit B, Map B. Topic NS: Other Revisions & Adoption Timing Staff will continue to make revisions as per Council instructions. The timing of adoption should be moved back if Council is still concerned that density recommendations are not satisfactory. Work ea the developnent code rewrite continues, but some delays are likely as comprehensive plan work continues. John Fregonese, the code rewrite consultant, will be available at a Council briefing on November I to' to discuss how project progress may be affected. Staff will encounter difficulty in preparing the draft Plan for adoption in time for the November 16'h public hearing.

Vision Statement Denton Is a unique community whose diversity gives it strength. This uniqueness Is a point of community pride, and it Is the goal of the Denton comprehensive plan to Insure that growth, development and the use of community resources foster, encourage, and promote the preservation of this vital quality. The proper stewardship of our community assets while managing the pressures of growth is a balancing act that will require foresight, long range planning, and a great amount of community Involvement. The Denton comprehensive plan should represent the best of our collective community aspirations and, while preparing Denton for the 21st century, should never lose sight of the fundamental qualities on which this town was built. Ouality, diversity, and opportunity are the keys to future success. People with all kinds of j different backgrounds are welcome to Denton, where they will continue to find a community that offers well-paying jobs, reasonably priced housing, and good schools and parks. Homes of all types and sizes offer a choice of lifestyles. Neighborhood centers will contain small shops and stores that are designed to harmonize with surrounding homes and provide dally necessities fur the neighborhood. Residents will be able to choose to walk, ride a bike, use the transit system, or drive to many destinations throughout the city. Local businesses and employers will prosper, catering to customers' needs and promoting Denton's Image at the same time. There must be a place in the city for all types of development necessary for a healthy, vibrant market. We want to preserve the distinctive qualities of our city white growth occurs, a goal that we know requires foresight and preparation. The downtown is and always shall be the heart of Denton; the square and surrounding streets will be used every day and night as a gathering place for commerce, civic events, and I + entertainment. Growing numbers of downto<m residents will Increase the energy level of the i downtown, and the renovated civic center park will draw new visitors from throughout the region. Yet the scale of the downtown will re rain the same, human and comfortable, and examples of the city's history will continue to remind our citizens of their heritage. Historic preservation will be a major theme In all devt lopment and redevelopment efforts. The downtown will become even more podestriar.-Mendly, with new streetscapes and Improved sidewalks connecting the square to both Eagle and University, encouraging sidewalk cafes, and other outdoor businesses. To grow properly, Denton must nourish its urivers4 partnerships. The University of North Texas will flourish, and the LINT campus will increase Its visibility as a Denton landmark, prominently displayed to travelers passing through the city. The Fry Street area and Oak- Hickory historic district will continue to serve as Important physical and social links between the j downtown and LINT. Texas Woman's University will also contribute to Denton's distinction as a j city, and will be even more strongly connected to the Downtown as a result of Civic Center park l reno%,ations. The UNT - downtown - TWU corridor will achieve its full potential as a dynamic , and lively area, essential to the well being of the city. Working with city government and the A business community, the two universities will realize their full potential as magnets for high-tech and research-oriented developr,+Anl. The city, county, and school districts will increasingly coordinate their efforts to Improve public facilities rnd services, with careful planning for schools, roads, and utilit es to accommodate growtn. Residents must always have reason to be confident that their taxes are being spent wisely and efficiently, C WY Daun WClEhWWWAFNENSN'[RMUr TK)Nt*OkO VEA7414 E0Ct,1141W Aoft nCel+ O""FWdM Paget i c= c~ Revised SOCUM 1 h eb oduc&m The Denton community will always committed enriching eves Its ciftens regard lost of age, income, or ethnic background through education, culture, remotion, and entertainment. Through the efforts of our schools and universities, our govemment, our civic and cultural groups, and our businesses, Denton will build on its distinctive reputation as an arts city, and most especially a music city. Through Its outstanding public art, Its galleries and studios, Its museums and theaters and clubs, its renowned university nwakdans and artists, its festivals and concerts and shows, Denton will provide to citizens a wide range of cultural and entertalnment activities that will also attract numerous visitors to our community. We need nature as much In the city as In the countryside. Our built environment cannot remain healthy without properly managed land, air and water resources; as we grow these resources will become even more precious. We can avoid the costs of thoughtlessness while we capitalize on our natural assets. As the benefits of Lake Ray Roberts and the Elm Fork Nature Conservatory become fully realized, they will prove to be resources of incredible value, well worth our initial InvesimenL Floodplalns and creeks will emerge as greenway corridors that serve many needs, such as flood protection, recreation, tree preservation, and habitat support Environmental planning must take Its rightful place as an essential part of Donlon's strategy to grow wisely. The entire work! is within easy reach of Denton, sitting at the convergence of two Interstate highways and located a short distance from two International airports. Denton is a regional partner within a major metropolitan area, and will share regional significance with Dallas and Fort Worth, with each of the three cities being recognized as a county seal with a unique Identity. The ability to Interact within Denton Itself, with the metroplex, or with the work! Is an asset that will continue to be useful In marketing Denton as a progressive, forward-looking city with a'hometown" atmosphere. Denton can achieve what we want, growth that enhances rather than destroys the qualities that + make Denton attractive. Denton will bequeath to future generations a dynamic, Interesting, and healthy city. Denton will prepare for growth and prosperity by considering all community Interests. Our values and heritage are important to us. We Ilke Denton now, but we know we ' can make it even better. Growth will cause change, but the essential ingredients that make Denton unique today will be preserved and cultivated In the future, j { rwyooa.~«rwcernnoo~rarHC errorkkMUeranuono,en,awrarsiio..r~wwe.w~.w.rr~e« Page3 ' r c Revised Section 2 F~O~xllatiort 1. City Background Denton Is located about 35 miles north of Dallas and Fort Worth where Interstate Highways 35 East and 35 West join. The Dallas Fort Worth region, a 16 county region known as the Metroplex, has grown substaMtalty In recent decades, except during an economic downturn in the late 1980s. The regional economy has been diversified considerably since the 1980s, and sustained growth Is expected. The City of Donlon is the seat of Denton County government and Is located approximately in the geographic center of the county. The e;ty is seFyod by excelleRl highway and fell sef0defsExcellent highway and rail corridors serve the city. It is close to two major airports, Dalias Fort Worth (DFW) International Airport, second only to Chicago's O'Hare Airport in passenger traffic, and Alliance Airport, the Nation's first all-cargo airport. For planning purposes, we have looked at four land areas as a study area of Importance to the city. The study area accounts for 29 percent of the 957 square miles within Denton County. These are: • The area within the current city limits; The area that Is expected to become urbanized; • The area within the city's current VA mile extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ); and, • The area within the city's future Smile ETJ once a population of 100,000 Is achieved.

Market Position Three factors stimulate economic development and corresponding population growth within Denton County. proximity to alr service, the highways linking the city with Dallas and Fort Worth employment centers, and the presence of major public institutions within the city. The University of North Texas and Texas Woman's University provide a significant economic base for the city and provide a skilled labor pool for local employers. Denton County, the City of Denton, several A c• school districts, Denton State School, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency provide additional economic base.

Because of regional development patterns, real estate In the Denton area has become very desirable. Land In and around Denton Is relatively inexpensive whan compared to other rapidly developing areas of the metroplex such as southern Denton County and southern Collin County. Major land developers are beginning to be attracted to the city. Rapidly growing communities such as Carrolton, Flower Mound, Lewisville, Corinth, and Frisco in southeast Denton County and southwest Collin County have been experiencing annual growth rates throughout the 1990s ranging from 10 percent to 30 percent la, Holding Capacity The latest data available (1995) from the North Texas Council of Governments projects Denton's current population density;sat approximately 1,220 people per square mile within the city limits. About 40 percent of Denton land within the city Is developed, with a density of 3,655 people per square mile. The average density observed for Metroplex cities Is 2,461 people per square mile. This ranges from University Park at 8,162 per square mile to Rockwall at 826 people per square mile. Using the 101-square mile urbanizing area as Denton's build-out land area, the following table of holding capacities Is derived: Over time Denton will most certainly become more densely populated. With only 40 percent of the land area developed within the current city limits, significant tracts of land within the core area of the city, and at its periphery are not developed. These areas will probably be developed within the time frame of the population forecast. In addition, areas outside the current city limits will be annexed Into the city and developed, primarily for residential uses. The best population estimate of the holding capacity of the urbanizing area Is approximately 228,000, based on an average density of 2,250 people per square mile, less than the average for other metroplex cities. Within the current city limits of about 61 square miles, the population estimate of the holding capacity Is 137,250 people. IV, Population Estimates The 1999 population forecast estimates a'most likely" population for the 275 square mile 1 Denton study area of 215,100, The City of Denton Is expected to grow to 101 square miles with a population of 183,600, or 85 percent of the study area population. In 1998 it Is bstimated that approximately 86 percent of the study area population livod within the City of Denton. The population forecasts are only an estimate of the city's potential population growth. The estimates are used for planning purposes by the city to gauge services and development, which may occur In the future. r, A, r n C Wy Czwn WMCEEtW.OMPA1MtN9M►Wl IECTgMSNORO VERSION WEI I#M 1114 10w6 COV** Aftn 09 Pages r, 86C OM 2 Population Fwalmts Table 2.9 Denton Planning Ana and CNy of Denton Forecasts of Addhlonal PopufaUon and Land Area 1999 - 2020 5-MII• ETJ Stud Area C ltv of Denton Annual Annual Study Area Density Year Percentage Numeric Ana Population (sq, miles} (poplmife Growth Growth Population ) 1299 3.0% 1850 87 930 76 300 81.7 1 220 000 3;0% MISQ.

Introduction The City of Denton land-use plan has been developed to Implement the growth management strategy and long-range vision of the community in the city's comprehensive plan. The land use plan focuses on the use of land and future development within the Denton planning area and the Denton urbanizing area. All parts of the land use plan should work together to achieve the vision statement adopted by City Council In 1998 (See Section 1). Key Vision & Growth Management Strategy Elements A. THE-YISION CABINET A visioning effort, recentfy conducted over several years, sponsored by the City of Denton, Denton Chamber of Commerce, Denton Independent School District, Denton Record-Chronfcle, Texas Woman's University, United Way of Denton County, and the University of North Texas resulted In OA Vision For Denton - the 21st Centuy (See Section 1). B. THE DENT-ON PLAN POLICIES In 1998 the City Council adopted the Denton plan policies and growth management strategy that outlined many elements that are directly applicable to the proposed land-use plan. The vision statement Included these concepts: 1 1. Denton Is a unique community whose diversity gives it strength.... It is the goal of the Denton plan to Insure that graAdh, development and the use of community resources foster. encourage and promote the preservation of this vital strength. 2, Quality, diversity and opportunity are the keys to future success. People with all kinds of different backgrounds Houses of all types and sizes Nelghbo-hood centers will contain small shops and stores that are designed to harmonize with surrounding homes and provide daily necessities for the neighborhood. Residents will be able to walk bike use transit or drive to many destinations throughout the city. There must be a place In the ci;y for all types of development. 3. The downtown Is and always will be the heart of Denton Growing numbers of downtown residents will Increase the energy level of the downtown The UNIT - downtown - TWU corridor will achieve its full potential as a dynamic and lively ores, essential to the well being of the city, 4. We need nature as much in the city as in the countryside. Our built environment cannot ! 1 remain healthy without properly managed land, air and water resources Lake Ray Roberts and the Elm Fork Nature Conservatory will prove to be resources of Incredible value Floodplains and creeks will emerge as greenway corridors that serve many needs.

GWWTHMANAGEMENT§TRUEGY Density levels should reflect the goals outlined In the growth management strategy. 1. Policies a. Development patterns that make the most efficient use of public services and infrastructure should be promoted. b. The community should establish development rules that are clearly stated, administered efficiently, and enforced consistently, c. Land uses should be balanced to maintain a quality of life, a diverse economy, and a well-proportioned tax base. The city will provide opportunities for a full array of land uses within the city. d. Zoning should be used to Identify performance standards that allow land uses In defined districts based on their ability to mitigate potential negative Impacts on neighboring property. e. Development guidelines should be established to allow a wider range of land uses to coexist within close proxlmi y to each other. Site design principles, and effective buffering should be Investigated as possible tools to promote land use compatibility and encourage developmental diversity, f. The location, placement and design of public facilities should be used to create neighborhood activity centers. g. Residential development that establishes a variety of lot sizes, dwelling types, and housing prices should be encouraged. h. safely ardbeavWSAIIy.The city should be designed with all means of transportation In mind. Public transit, bicycle, pedestrian linkages, and streets are all important components of transportation planning. I. Denton's ability to grow and expand should be Identified In the city's annexation strategy. 2, Specific Stratogles • 2"lily of Growth Quality of growth will be strongly managed. A, v a Quantity of Growth Quantity of growth will be strongly managed through adequate public facilities requirements and proactive planned extensions of service. cwrDo 14VACMrMCOMPMECWrd"$fCTONMWMVcgau104ra1ic►wawft~aara+» "Pr am Page8 C Revised Section 3 Growth Management & Land Use • Location of Growth Location of growth will be strongly managed. • Timing of Growth Timing of growth will be strongly managed through tools such as adequate public facifties requirements and the Capital Improvements Program. a. Anticipating and allowing growth along the southern city borders, provided development pays its own way, except where the city wishes to provide Incentives to encourage a desired urban form or corridors. b. Adopting an aggressive annexation policy in order to manage the density and quality of growth within current ETd land, and to maintain the existing certificate of convenience and necessity (CCN), c. Using infrastructure master plans to develop expectations of adequate levels of public services. In areas where water and sewer services are provided, moderate density development can may be accommodated. In areas where services are not available, low-density development will be necessary, using septic systems and wells. d. Single-family low-density residential uses will be allowed to develop In areas outside of the urbanizing areas. The size of the lots In those areas will be based upon the area required to support a septic system, and will var , h3sed upon each location's soils. The remaining land within those areas would remain as agricultural uses. ; e. Within the urban and urbanizing areas, higher density residential patterns can occur, if strict quality standards are observed. • C.-These areas could be developed as neighborhood centers that are developed in an inwardly oriented manner with a focus upon the center of the neighborhood. • These developments should be established In a manner that locales the center of the neighborhood within a 5-to 10-minute walking distance from the edge of the neighborhood. • The center would contain uses necessary to support the surrounding nelghborhood. These support uses could include service-oriented retail such as a small grocery, hair salon, dry cleaner, or small professional offices. • Residential uses could occur at higher densitles with town homes or residential flats above service oriented uses. • Open space would be encouraged in nelghborhood centers with park uses Including central neighborhood `greens' and floodplain preservation. • Civic uses such as fire stations, schools, librbrles, and mass Vansportation r'. nodes would be encouraged to be essential elements of neighborhood centers as landmarks that are a focus to the neighborhood. • The mix of uses Identified to support each neighborhood may be developed to Incorporate shops on the ground floor and offices or residences on the upper floors.

Many of the deteriorating apartments adjacent to the universities could be renovated or redeveloped as new student housing In order to better support the needs of LINT and TWU, Additionally, other types of multifamily development such as townhomes should be considered within the ay, it is recommended that rnultifamly development be located in areas that provide transitions between lower and higher intensity uses, and In a manner that will not negatively impact surrourAing usos. additionally, multifamily uses should be located In small groupings around the city to provide a mix of uses and densities, rather than concentrating all multifamily uses In one area, which can have negative impacts upon the city. 11. Accommodate future commercial uses at key nodes throughout the city. It Is recommended that commercial uses not be located continuously along corridors In a "strip" manner. jk. Accommodate business In several activity centers. At the Intersection of Loop 288 and IH 35, the plan calls for activity center. This center would be a mixed-use center containing office, retail, and high-density residential uses. This center could also include some research or technological uses that would be compatible with the activities at the universities A second activity center south of the intersection of Loop 288 and IH 35E could contain medically related offices with a mix cf supporting uses. A third activity center on the south side of lawn would be located at the City's ETJ along I H 35 west. This center would probably develop after the first two activity centers and could support general office uses or activities supporting Alliance Airport. kI. . Areas immediately adjacent to the airport would be ae;eemirpedele reserved for Industrial uses. Industrial uses are typically very compatible with f airports due to noise restrictions, These could Include light manufacturing, IIII distribution centers, or other Industrial uses compatible with the city's environmental ' quality policies. Existing floodplains In this area could provide an effective visual buffer between industrial uses and other surrounding uses, r ! lrw. Locate future parks and Institutional uses as required to adequalelysupport future residential development, These uses will be located In a manner that encourages developing a sense of community building within neighbofioods.

Key Planning Principles During development of the Denton plan policies and growth management strategy, four planning principles captured the essence of citizens' comments were Identified and defined. Understanding each principle and their Intarrelationships Is a important to u.iderstanding the vision of Denton citizens and the ways we can take to achieve that vision. A. PRINCIPE OF INCLUSION The plan vision states that Denton Is a city for all typos of people and all types of uses. Participants throughout the plan process reiterated this princlpte• Denton Is a city, and a city creates opportunities for till types of people and businesses. To accommodate all types of people, a city must allow all types of housing. And to accommodate a complete range of business opportunities, the city must organize those uses to minimize land use conflicts and must define performance requirements that require property owners to perform to community standards. B. PRINCIPLE OF SUSTAINAINIM Community suslalnabllity can be defined as the ability of a community to use its resources to ensure that its members can attain a high degree of health and well-being, ecomnic security, and a say In shaping their future, This Is done while maintaining the Integrity of the ecological systems upon which all life and production depends. This Implies a sense of fairness and justice within the community, across generations, and across communities. The dtlzens of Denton stated that they wish to live in a community that Is sustainable on all levels, C, PRINCIPLE OF DACE Balance Is the condition of stability and oolreslon within the systems of governments, residents, organizations, and the environment, A community In balance Is resilient and sustainable. The practical aspect of land use balance Is rellecfed In the ratio between resldenlial and nonresidential uses end the relationships among residential and nonresidential land uses.

The Citizens o en on asked that the city organize Its lend to accommodate a balance of land uses. D. PRINCIPLE OF MAINTENANU A city must allow development to xcur that provides the resources to maintain its infrastructure and public facilities. In a community that has a high percentage of public lands, It may be advantageous to create a tax base with multiple revenue sources, The citizens of Denton have asked that the city maintain and enhance the opportunlOe3 to expand the tax base of the community and that adequate resources are made available to maintain and enhance public lands and facilities. 1V, Goals d Strategles Within the land use plan framework of neighborhood, community, and regional classifications are found the more traditional resider o' commercial, and civic land uses. In addition, the plan also est&lshes several districts that are of special Interest to the community: • The Downtown University Core District • Ray Roberts Lake • The Denton Municipal Airport • Industrial districts • Employment districts • The city's undeveloped 100•year Roodpiain area A summary of developed, undeveloped, and zoned land In the city rollows: NEW TABLE N1 City of Denton 1995 Summary of Dave lo ed Lend Uses Land Use Devolops4 Percent of Percent of Area All Developed All Area (Acres) Area In Chy Residential _ 6,679 60.e 19.6 Commercial 1,235 9.4 3.6 Industrlal _ Mal 8.8 3.4 Civic 4.08a 30.9 12.0 Under Construction 17 0.0 0,0 Total Developed 13184 100 38,8 Total Undevafoped 20818 61,2 t Total Area 34,002 100 f Source: North Central Taxes Council of Governments, 1995 Land Uses (latest date ova lebte) cw,o .u ecrncouvaE~«~hnu."C70000MVip"aortR14MRCASO COYV**4P,VM Page 12 i 0 1 II it r I Revised Section 3 Growth Management k' & Land Use NEW TABLE 02 City of Denton 1096 Summa of Zonln ClassHlcation8 Zoning Area Percent Classification (Acres) of all Zoned Area A dcultural A 14,150 39.5 One family Dwelling SF•18 1078 3.0 One family Dwelling (SF-13) 6 0.0 One Family Dwelling (SF-10) 2.042 5.7 One Family Dwelll SF•7 31M I DA Two Family (21F) 241 0,8 Multifami Restricted MF-R 44 0.1 Multifemi Dwellln MF-1 _ 772 2,1 Multifamil Dwelling-2 MF-2 792 2.2 Parkin P 7 0.0 Office O 158 0.4 Neighborhood Service NS !5 0.0 General Retail OR 433 1.2 Commercial C 1548 4.3 Central Business C9 64 01 1 Light lndueWal IL4448 12.4 Heavy Industrial HI 117 0.3 Planned Development (PD} _ 6,209 17.3 Total _ 35,742 100 Source: City or Denton 0IS Zoning Coverage, October 1998 A.

Primary Residential Land Use Principles a. Preserve Neighborhoods ' The preservation of existing and future neighborhoods can be achieved by demanding high-quality development by establishing design and constrictlon standards that are fair and evenly applied. b. Promote a Diverse HousIno Stock The residential component of the land-use plan should be to agow all types of people to live in Denton by allowing a variety of housing types, sizes and prices. The housing stock should rellect the demographics and economic structure of the community. b.c. Limit Sprawl The residential component of the land-use plan should guide development of housing patterns that limits sprawl, accommodates projected housing demand, and r allow quality high density development where It Is dose to jobs, shopping, schools, i and transit. r, e, Thy cwro .uu~ceEr~ncoucncuwnt"ItV*4WOoVIA&antortniiaMarwNmw+rx.wwowin Page 15 it i I ~I r• i I { j Revised Section 3 Growth Management k { & Land use 2.

The rationale governing the regulation of residential density Include the following points: a, Dense development can magnify negative impacts if improperly constructed.

As density Increases, the expectations of quality and assurance of proper regulation {4 must Increase. d. As density Increases, requirements to provide higher quality and more amenities per dwelling unit increases. Density calculations will be exclusive of required dedications and other statutory requirements. The city will use these opportunities advantageously. e. Density increases can be used advantageously to protect or acquire lands that are environmentally sensitive or of significant value to the city. E The recommended land use plan identities the areas that will be treated as separate f character areas. Increased levels of home ownership Is an objective that has been determined to provide many potential community benefits, and serves an Important public purpose. Different regulatory options will be considered to facilitate the Implementation of the staled objective; to achieve a 60 percent single family - 40 percent multifamily ratio of residential development over the next twenty years. 3. Residential Neighborhood Districts a. j<rf IinQResldentiaUlnfill ComD~'y Within established residential areas, new development should ros development with compatible land uses, patterns and design standards. to plan ng recommends that existing neighborhoods within the city be vigorously protected and preserved. Housing that Is compatible with the existing density, neighborhood service, and commercial land uses Is allowed, b. Neighborhood Cenler~lNew Neighborhoods Within the undeveloped urban and urbanizing areas of the city, mixed-use and mixed housing types are allowed to develop in a pattern of 'neighborhood centers'. New residential may occur In conventional development patterns. These are oriented Inwardly, focusing on the center of the neighborhood. These neighborhoods will eRemplify the interrelationship between quality of development, density, services and provislon for adequate facilities. These developments should locate the center or the neighborhood within a 5• to 10-minute walking distance from the edge of the neighborhood, The center woW4-oonteins uses necessary to support the surrounding neighborhood. These support uses could include service- oriented retail such as a small grocery, hair salon, dry Leaner or small professional ' offices. Residential uses may occur at higher densities with townhomes or residential flats above service oriented uses. Open space would be Is encouraged In neighborhood centers with park uses including central neighborhood `greens" and floodptaln preservation. Civic uses such as fire stations, schools, libraries, and mass transportation nodes woWi$-beare encouraged to be essential elements of neighborhood centers as landmarks that are a focus to the neighborhood.

Some areas of the downtown university core may not be appropriate for residential uses. MultWory uses may develop uses other than residential such as office, retail, and service uses. Uses may occur in separate structures but follow a pattern of development that focuses on the mixed-use center. (See Urban Design) 4. Goals & Strategies a, Balance Accommodate balanced future residential developments: 1) between residential and nonresidential land uses, and, 2) among the various types, styles and prices of housing, 1) Goals Maintain about 60 percent or the developed land area within the city as residential land uses, Increase the percentage of owner-occupied housing to 60 percent by the year 2420. Revise the zoning regulations and consider requirements for a varlety of housing types In new development.

COMMERCIAL LAND USES The role of commercial activity In a city Is to provide convenient and available retail, service, and office opportunitles to residents of the Denton market area. Commercial activity provides return on Investment for business and property owners, employment opportunities for Wet residents, and an economic base for local taxing entitles. Commercial activity generally supports community residential activity, but certain aspects of the retell, service, and office uses such as big-box retail, and service and office headquarters may be more regionally oriented and act as basic elements of the oounomy.

Primary Commercial Land-Use Principles a. Maintainlna Balance It Is the desire of the residents of Denton to maintain and enhance the balance befueen residential and commercial land uses and assessed values In Denton. b. Limiting Strip Development One of the overall goals of the land use plan is to limit the amount of strip commercial development along Denton'#, arterial streets, collectors, and highways, a Demaadino Quality The quality of development, particularly comm3rclal development along the city's corridors, Is a significant factor In the quality of neighborhoods, the urban environment, and the suslainability of structures. Adequate public facilities shall be a criterion by which zoning Is granted. 2, Commercial Land-Use Classifications a. Regional Activity Center For a regional activity center, the focus area contains the shopping, services, recreation, employment, and Institutional facilities supported by and serving an entire region. A regional activity center could Include a regional shopping mall, a number of major employers, restaurant and entertainment facilities, a large high school or community college, and high-density, housing. A regional activity center Is considerably larger and more diverse In Its land uses than any other activity center. It Includes vertically Integrated uses where different uses may occur on each floor of the building C'A10 Docuwi4'A1C BEth=MPACNQNS"^AN MCI 0Nrnaa0vullgN1011V114tH IIr4aNSCaPy/NWN FUn,on Page 21 C Revised Section 3 Growth Management & Land Use The focus area of a commun'ty activity center contains the shopping, services, recreation, employment, and Institulional facilities that are required and supported by the surroundinf community. Thus, a community activity enter could contain e supermarket, drug store, specialty shops, service stations, one or more large places of worship, a community park, mid-size offices, and employers, high- to moderate- density housing, and perhaps an elementary or middle school. It includes vertically Integrated uses where different uses may occur on each floor of the building. c. Neighborhood Center Services The focus area of a neighborhood center contains facilities vital to the day-to-day activity of the neighborhood, A neighborhood center might contain a convenience store, small restaurant, personal service shops, church or synagogue, daycare, Individual office space, or a small park. These diverse facilities are Ideally located In close proximity to one another in the center, so that all the essential neighborhood facilities are In one convenient locat on, accessible In a single slop or by walking or biking. It Includes vertically inlegralod uses where different uses may occur on each floor of the building. d. Downtown University Core Dls;rIcj Tho-Specified commercial areas of the downtown university core district should be a-places of great vitality, with a mix of educational, residential, retail, office, service, government, cultural, and entertainment development. The health and vitality of the area can contribute In a major way to the city, it's local and regional image, and quality of life. It Is a place where residents can live, work, learn, and play in the same neighborhood. It includes veflieaBy 1nlegFated uses WheFO ifferent uses which may occur on each floor of the building. 3. Goals d Strategies a. Organize Commercial Land Uses 1) Goals a To provide for reasonable amounts and distribution of various types of commercial land use In altraclive and well-located settings. • To provide for commercial activities In planned activity or neighborhood centers, rather than on scattered sites or hlg rway strips. • To develop activity centers where commercial uses, professional offices, and public facilities are loaled near residential development, white providing safe and convenient pedestrian access. e To maintain, Intensify, and/or expand existing commercial areas, where appropriate, while removing commercial uses from, and stopping Intrusions Into, areas not appropriate for commercial use. • To locate nelghborhood-oriented, commercial activities conveniently to i ' dwelling units in order to rninimize the need for frequent automobile trips r'. " for everyday household needs. ..AJ 6 To encourage the location of day-care centers, housing, churches, social clubs, and other quaslpublic uses within or adjacent to activity centers In order to share public facildes and help establish these areas as focal points, cwyD~(,LCKTH=MKCHrNV4 PLAN MnbNS*CityEiuanrunniia►ftPAAkACwV*.*APw c Page 22 t . CRieWsed Section 3 Growth Management & Land Use 2) Slrafegles a) As commercial areas are developed, redeveloped, or expanded, the provision of multiple-use activity centers, as identified in the plan, Is developed In lieu of development as single-function shopping areas. b) Commercial activity or neighborhood centers are the preferred kocation for retail, commercial, and community services and encroachment of these uses Into other areas is discouraged. c) Commercial development occurs only In acN!ty centers that are appropriate to its service and trade area and that are compatible with adjacent existing and proposed land uses and with existing and programmed public services and facilities. d) Service-commercial establishments locate In appropriate activity centers, rather than at haphazardly chosen locations that contribute to the formation of strip or spot commercial development. e) The location and size of neighborhood centers areas relate to the character and needs of the specific residential development these centers are intended to serve, b. Develop Deslon Standards: f) Goals To provide for convenient, aesthetically pleasing, and environmentally sound commercial opportunities that are easily accessible to the existing transportation network. To encourage and provide for the upgrading and maintenance of commercial corridors. To develod errd malnt+ n t healthy, vital downtown. (See Urban Design Section) 2) Sfralegles a) Redeveloped and expanded commercial areas are subjected to high standards of site design and designed In relation to surrounding areas so as to provide safe, visually pleasing vehicle and pedes',rlan socess without compromising the character and appearance of the built and natural environments, i b) Acilvity centers are Integrated with surrouniing streets and uses, where appropriate, by means of landscaping, berms, fencing, and the siting of structures. Facades, architectural screening (ti,ails, fences, parapets, etc.) and a unified landscape treatment Is consistent and creates an Identifiable r activity center. c) Neighborhood centers may Include uses specifically supportive of the neighborhood, uses In scale with residential structures, and service-oriented uses such as day-care centers, dry cleaners, cornor stores, elvic stnrctures, and moderate-density housing, when the design demonstrates adequately rahoav~.uwcetrMCOMVa HSrv~nu~+~eronrwow~t~~aMSOrtar wa aw,~rrw..OW&M P804 23 I c I Ii ReWsed Section 3 Growth Management & Land Use a ese uses an stru urea wi a compaU a with Doth the neighborhood center and the surrounding neighborhood.

Maintain a Diversity of Land Uses in the C mmunfly 1) Goals To create job opportunities and enhance the economic base of the planning area and the county, by focusing on rotalning and attracting commercial uses, in particular retail and seMoe•orlented business, in addition to focusing on Industrial economic development activities, and by developing an up-to-date Inventory of all businesses and buildings within the planning area. Information on size, average rents, property values and amenities, traffic counts, and estimated sales of existing businesses should be Included, A breakdown of the categories for types of businesses will also be useful. 2) Strategy a) The amount and type of proposed retail-commercial uses pertrmitfd In an activity center Is based upon an analysis of the potential market generated by the size and type of populatlon that will live withln the center's market area. The analysis should also take Into consideration all other nearby existing or approved commercial uses and the possibility of overlapping service areas, C. INDUSTRIAL AND USES ' The role of Industry In Denton Is relatively new. Two hlstoric Industries ds';e ;ads to before the turn of the century, Morrison's Milling, a processor and manufacturer of food products located near downtown Denton, and Acme Brick, a manufacturer of building products located south of 11- 35E, east of fort Worth Drive. Donlon's economy has been more dependent upon government, education, and retail activities for its base. In the past several decades, many additional manufacturing entities have made their home in Denton, broadening the employment base In a time when most communities are becoming less dependent upon Industrial Jobs. Denton currently has approximately 5,098 acres (nearly 8 square miles) of industrially zoned land located throughout the city, Depending upon alto and Infrastructure needs, prospective businesses are presented with several options as to location, price of land, and degree of Infrastructure In place. Internal existing infrastructure varies as well as directllndirect hlghway access.

Therefore, a primary goal of economic diversification Is to attract and result Industries that use high-quality environmental practices, bring new capital Into the economy, and provide higher- f than-average wage jobs. Just as important as the make-up of Industry within Denton Is Rs I location. The land use plan focuses on designated locations for certain types of industrial uses with large manufacturing facilities locating In Industrial centers and light manufacturing facilities in both Industrial centers and employment centers. Current development standards and permitted uses should be reviewed to ensure compatibility within the centers and surrounding land uses. i A hft&A coW"awrw,aa Page 26 c R I Revised Section 3 Growth Management & Land Use Primary Industrial an Use Principles a. organlzino to Minimize Conflicts It Is the desire of the residents of Denton to organize Industrial and employment land use districts so as to minimize conflicts with adjoining land uses and to most efficiently utilize the existing transportation systems. b.

Proposed Land-Use Classifications a. Industrial Centers Industrial centers are Intended to provide locations for a variety of work processes and work places such as manufacturing, warehousing and distributing, Indoor and outdoor storage, and a wide range of commercial and Industrial operations. The industrial centers may also accommodate complementary and supporting uses such as convenience shopping and child-care centers.

Light Industrial Use Light Industrial uses could be described as those engaged In the manufacture, predominantly from previously prepared materials, of finished products or parts, including processing, fabrication, assembly, treatment, packaging, incidental storage, sales, and distribution of such products. Further, light industrial would Include the manufacture of electronic instruments, preparation of food products, pharmaceutical manufacturing, research and scientific laboratories, and similar uses. Light industrial uses would not Include mining and extracting Industries, petrochemical Industries, rubber refining, primary metal and related industries. Light Industrial uses would be allowed in Industrial centers and employment centers as designated on the land use plan. Heavy industries will not be permitted In industrial areas. 3, Industrial Centers The land use plan Identifies four Industrial centers . Denton Is stralegicatly located at the junction of U. S. Interstate 35, 3512a at, and Mask providing excellent transportation of goods from Mexico to Canada. In addition, State Highway 380 establishes access to east and west markets. All Industrial zoning districts are located along these major thoroughfares or are connected via Loop 288. a. Western Industrial Center Denton's largest industrial area is located in the westem-most Denton, with the Denton Municipal Airport as its central focus. It is bordered by U.S. Interstate 35 on j the east, by the proposed extension of Loop 288 on the west, and by U.S. Highway 380 on the north. b. Acme Industrial Center This center is located in south central portion of Denton between US 377 and Teasley Lane. Mission Road provides the southern boundary, c. Southeast Industrial Center This center Is Located in the southeast portion of the city with loop 288 providing the northwestern boundary and the abandoned railroad providing the southwestern boundary. d. Northeast industrial Center This industrial center is located on the north side of U.S. 380, Immediately east of Loop 288 In the northeast portion of the city.

Also Includes major flood control structures, levies and flood channels. Jyy(gl includes all wa'er bodies. In addition to the local municipal government, Denton Is home to the University of North Texas, Texas Woman's University, the Denton State School, Denton County, and the Federal Emergency Management Administration, all of which have significant land holdings. In addition, within Denton there are two major Interslate highways, two major taliroad right"ll-way, and numerous other stale highways. 14paansir;elvie-Civlc land uses should be used to the maximum extent possible to lead and guide development, The community should invest In dvlc development that serves as local landmarks. Civic land uses can be organized to provide focus for regional, community, and neighborhood activity centers. Civic land uses can be located to provide shared facilities and most efficient use or land. Civic land uses can be used to prevent strip commercial development along the regional and community highway system. 1. Role of the Universities and Schools r Collectively, the University of North Texas, Texas Woman's University, the Denton State .l School, and the facilities of the Denton Independent School District comprise a significant, but not large, portion of Denton's developed land area. These institutions are major employers In the community and are the most significant economic engine in Denton. Wivldaauy, eaEh entity .

Impact on Tax Base The tax base of the community has historically been thought of as 'taxable property', but since the advent of the additional cent sales tax in Denton, total city sales taxes collected are now greater than the total city property taxes. The dominant tax base In Denton is now taxable expenditures. Even though public Institutions do not appear on the property tax rolls, their impact on the city's tax base Is significant. Institutional expenditures and payroll that is spent locally are an important component of local sales taxes collected, The more administrators, teachers, and students that live and make expenditures in Denton, the greater their impact on the local tax base. Utility Profits venues derived from the universities are an Important benefit to the city. Less significant Is the role of these We land uses on the tax base of the local school district and Denton County. These entities do not have the ability to collect sales taxes and therefore are limited to local property taxes and Intergovernmental transfers for revenues. The Impact on county and school tax bases Is secondary In nature, depending upon the investment of employees In their housing and the Investment of community commercial entities seeking to capture the expenditures of the Institutions and their employees. Civic land uses Include lands owned by public or private nonprofit entities that are accessible to the generhl public and contribute to the civic fabric of the community, This uses Include the stroets, parks and public buildings maintained by the city, county, state and federal governments, as well as privatety-owned and cialntained Institutions such as churches and private schools. Civic land uses make ap a significant share of the total developed land In the city. 3. PrlmaryCivic Land Use Principles a. Providing Adequate Public Facilities One of the primary functions of civic land uses Is to support existing and proposed development with adequate public facilities. Adequate public facilities shall be a criterion by which zoning is granted, b, Qyilding Landmarks A measure of the Identity of a community Is its enduring landmark buildings and places. Most of these are civic In nature, public or quaslpublic places that enhance the quality of life for all residents. c.

MM,;IPAL FACILITIES ` Denton's city government Is obligated to provide high quality public facilities while, at the same time, limiting the financlal burden of these facilities as much as possible. The availability of an array of public facilities relates strongly to the quality of life for residents. These facilities can be centralized or decentralized and they are managed based on performance standards related to growth, new development, service standards, and convenience. The development and implementation of goals and policies helps the city to ensure public facilities will be available to serve new development. It also supports the city's efforts toward In-fill development and redevelopment by ensuring that development away from the city core does not deprive In-fill and redevelopment activity because of Inadequate facility capacity. These policles should be coordinated with the city's overall program for scheduling and funding capital facilities. Public facilities Include a vast number of local government buildings, facilities, and places, Including: • Streets 0 Utilities s Pollce facilities a Fire facilities • Parks and recreation facilities 9 Libraries p Alrport e General government facilities such as the service center, city hall, city hall east, and city hall west. In addition, other levels of government maintain comparable public facilities. Denton county maintains its general government, courts and jail facilities. The State of Texas maintains many general government offices as well as Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) malntenance facilities, The federal government also maintains many facilities In and around Denton, 1. Categorles of Service Public facilities may be centralized or distributed around the city. Many services, such as adminlstration, customer service, code enforcement, building inspections, engineering, and planning are developed as centralized manner. These offices are located towards the center of the city to provide equal access to all the residents. Other public facilities are located throughout the community. Parks, fire stations, schools, and even some police facilities are located In many different areas. 2. Goals & Strategies a.

SPECIAL DISTRICTS J I Use of small area plans will be used to develop distinctive and specific plans for special districts or areas of the city that require specific treatment because of that areas uniqueness or specific Issues should be used. j Within the planning area, several special districts warrant special attention because of their unique character, special role in the land use patterns, or unique opportunh .-is for the ff community. They Include: t • The Downtown University Core District • The Ray Roberts Lake District • The Denton Municipal Airport Area j • The undeveloped 100-year fioodplalns These special districts help knit the components of the community Into a place that has un. Identity and special character. They are important destinations for living, working, shopping, and playing, and become focal points of the city. These districts represent the opportunity and potential to achieve the cohesiveness of a city rather than a collection of individual neighborhoods and subdivisions. 1, The Downtown Unlversity Core District Residents will continue to view the downtown university core as a unique and dominant area in the heart of the city that merits special planning attention. A Comprehensive downtown r revitalization program, based on the strategies of the Texas Main Street program, should be A Implemented to maintain the momentum seated by recent successes and improvements, It ! E Is Important to encourage the broadest mlx of activities and greatest Intensity of development within the entire downtown university core. To promote the continued vitality of the downtown area, parucutar attention should focus on the retail core, Including encouragement of hospitality uses.

The city should strive to encourage more community interaction with the universities by linking physical access between university and public property. In support of a vision for Denton 2001 proposal, the city allocated funds to begin the connectivity process. Street and landscape Improvements are being designed to improve downtown and begin the creation of an "arts corridor" linking the Visual Arts Center with the courthouse square, The uniqueness of the downtown university core areas create a set of ddvee-special needs specifically for tYo-thoss areas. Further study should Investigate zoning, parking, special mlxed-uses, density, and the creation of tax increment financing or other special improvement districts. Consideration of a historic district for downtown and conservation districts in-vic4,aFeas-asalong Congress and Elm/Locust should be investigated. Small area plans should be used to delineate special needs areas within the district, 2. The Ray Roberts Lake District Perhaps the greatest environmental, economic, and recreation asset of the city, as well as North Central Texas, Is Ray Roberts Lake. The less obvious but nonetheless primary purpose of the rea3rvolr, however, Is Its use as a crucial raw water supply for the cities of Dallas and Denton. Balancing these competing Interests - recreatlorWevelopment uses and environmental concerns, especially water quality Issues - Is a primary concern for the city. Because of the many unique aspects and opportunities this reservoir offers, the city considers It a special district within the comprehensive plan. Located twolve miles north of the city and forty-five miles from the heart of the metropiex, Ray Roberts Lake not only supplies Denton and Dallas with a significant raw water source, but also offers an outdoor recreation experience rarely found so close to a large urban area. The dam that creates the take Is on the Elm Fork of the Trinity River, thirty miles upstream from the lake Lewisville dam. The Elm Fork watershed above the lake has a total drainage are of 692 square mites. The conservation pool Is 28,350 acres at an elevation of 632,6 E feet. In addition to a large water surface area, 18,216 acres of recreation and wildlife management area are associated with the lake. The authorized purposes of the lake are walor supply for Dallas and Denton, recreation (specifically parks, boat ramps, camping sites, and trails), and fish and wildlife conservation and enhancement 3. The Denton Munlelpol Airport The economy, days a major role in the health and vitality of the aviation Industry and Is reflected In the amount of hangar and business development at municiprrl airports throughout the nation, Aviation development at the Donlon Municipal Airport was nearly nonexistent during the 1980s - a low point In the nation's aviation economy. However, the city hos witnessed a significant Increase In airport development in the last three years. It Is important that expansion and capital Improvements continue to be coordinated with the Federal Aviation Administration and Texas Department of Transportation Aviation Division, and the existing partnership must be nurtured In order to ensure adequate facilities for future growth It will be necessary to take a close look at unique development opportunities for the Denton 1 Municipal Airport in Its relation to the growth of the city and the Industrial base nearby. The small area plan process should also be implemented at the airport In order to provide cupyOa 1,J4cerrwcOMPMHaNUVsruMStCTON*WanV1n3ia,ronnir4anaAWJ5C wr+4M PWdw Page 35 a PA sed Section 3 Growth Mtatiegervmd & Land Liao appropriated regulations where s a rcums noes warrant variation or supplementation of standard zoning and building provisions (e.g., landscape ordinance, zero lot lines, fire, and !wilding codes). 4. The Undeveloped Floodplalns of the Area Among the most dominant physical features of the planning anA are the floodplain areas of Clear Creek, Cooper Creek, Pecan Creek and Hickory Creek. Within the planning area, these floodpiains encompass 65 square miles, or nearly a fourth of the entire land Area, Only about 6 percent of the floodplain ores wfthln the planning area have been reclaimed by development, about 05 percent of the floodplain area remains In undeveloped, natural condition. The undeveloped floodplaln areas represent a unique opportunity to preserve an Important natural feature of the community while meeting significant community goals. Preservation of floodplain offers these benefits: e Prevents development In the fioodploln subject to flooding • Protects adjoining and downstream property from impacts of eroding • Conserves natural habitat for wlldllfo • Maintains the quatlfy of the city's water supply Provides vital open space for recreation opportunities 4 Provides Important corridors for pedestrian and bicycle trills linking neighborhoods together • Enhances values of adjoining property • Creates a VeW Identity for Denton Regulations that preserve to the maximum extent possible these floodplain Areas in their natural condition should be developed and Implemented through the toning and land development codes of the city. t o~ro~.eweecraea~rwcnwnRrunucrawwdmwuon~arrnarrw~arwerw~rrwNAAK Page 36 t G Rievised Section 4 Housing 1. Introduction Housing is the predominant land use in Denion. Housing and residential land use is one of the most Important factors considered In the comprehensive plan. Housing Is important, not only in Its own right, but also because 11 strongly Influences the size of the population and its balance of demographic factors, such as household size, age, and Income. Housing has different meanings to different people. Some people envision a farm with acreage, while others think of an apartment on the square. Home ownership continues to be an important element of the American dream. Housing construction and land costs have made this goal of many households much more difficult to achieve, and growth lntenshlas the competition and demand for existing homes. Homes that are similar to each other tend to be concentrated In one area, a phenomenon that creates neighborhoods based on Income. Development and lending practices are market-driven, and construction that is affordable for low- and moderate- Income households Is becoming more and more rare. Because of their potentially greater Impact on Infrastructure, higher density apartments and manufactured housing should be located with great care. Neighborhoods can be defined in many ways, but for the purposes of the comprehensive plan, they are viewed as clusters of residential development that share a variety of functional and social ties. Neighborhoods form the background of Donlon's citizenry, these areas are where people live. Neighborhoods are expected to be safe and secure, places of quality where families thrive and children go to school and play. Neighborhoods face challenges as well. Low-Income and minority neighborhoods need revitalization assistance. Other neighborhoods feel overwhelmed by traffic oongestion and development that outstrips the city's ability to provide schools and other services. An Increasing body of knowledge Indicates that large-lot, single-use neighborhood subdlvislons contribute to urban sprawl, causing city infrastructure systems to be stressed and inefficient. When services are Inefficiently provided, tax dollars are not spent wisely. A recent sodas of national debates has also focused on the relationship between neighborhood design and quality of life. Current zoning trends tend to separate land uses from each other, increasing the need to travel and promoting social Isolation for the less moblie members of the community, primarily the young, the elderly, and the disabled. These subdivision practices have been found to contribute to greatly Increased vehicle use, vehicle speeds, and thoroughfare traffic congestion. These Issues must be understood as Donlon's future Is planned. A Pollcles The city adopted the following housing-related policies In 1988: v A.

Homes that vary In lot size, building size, and cost may be permitted In new development 3. Existing housing stock, particularly for affordable housing, should be protected and preserved to avoid the loss of dwelling units that are unlikely to be replaced. 4. Incentives should be Investigated to encourage Infill housing construction, especially in conjunction with neighborhood revitalization plans. 5. Design and constructlo1 quality expectations should not be relaxed in order to meet affordable housing objective,?. 6. City review and Inspection fees should be reviewed to determine H changes could be made to ease affordable home construction costs. Such a program should be undertaken only if benefits are passed on to low- and moderate-Income homebuyers. 7. The need to provide enough land to meet housing demand should be balanced by the desire to maintain sempae4 unique urban patterns, character, and neighborhoods of the city. 6. The range of housing types available for the specialized needs of the elderly, disabled, low-income, students, single-person, or female-headed households should be acknowledged as part of a strategy to diversify the city's neighborhoods. g. Areas where higher housing densities are allowed should be supported b"nly after the availability of employment, commercial services, schools, public utilities and facilities, and transit, pedestrian, and bicycle systems has boon addressed. B. NEIGHBORHOOD POLICIES 1, All nelghborhoods shall be served by adequate Infrastructure and shall have adequate access to public and community facilities. 2, land use policles that Ancourage a mix of uses should be Investigated to offer a range of benef Is to residents and the entire city.

Existing neighborhoods should be protected and preserved. 4. Bicycle and pedestrian traffic within and between neighborhoods should be encouraged to promote public safety and reduce vehicle use. 5. Discussions should be Initialed to determine how neighborhoods can be designed to ' promote social contact and civic responsibility.

The City of Denton will designate a 'single point of contact" staff liaison to provide Information and support to neighborhood groups. rrr. Existing Sltustlon r enton's single-family homes come in many styles, sizes, and ages. In the much-admired, f isloric core of the community, older bungalows and larger estate-style homes exist side-by side. Many dwellings in the older part of Denton would today be classified as accessory dwellings: dwellings such as an apartment above a garage or at the roar of a home that Is secondary to the primary reskfence on the property. The University of North Texas and Texas Woman's University play a significant role In the demand for housing In the city. Because of a relatively young, transient, and very mobile university-related population, Denton has a greater percentage of multifamily dwelling units that any other community in the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex. There Is a wide variety of rental multifamily housing types, ranging from duplexes to large apartment complexes that offer many amenities, such as clubhouses, pools, and security. Denton's existing housing situation Is strongly Influenced by the same regional forces that affect the local economy. Denton Is primarily a free-standing community with a balance of work, Ilya, play and learn opportunities, yet Is linked to the DFW metroplex and to the surrounding rural countryside. A significant number of people who work In other places within the Dallas-Fort Worth area choose to make Denton their home, while a large number of those who work In Donlon choose to live In outlying communities or rural areas. On any given day en e~aa4oommuters leave Denton and come to Denton for work opportunities. The trend In newer residential development has been toward subdlvislons and neighborhoods that have similar characterlstlce, The nearly equal mix of single- and multifamily housing In Denton produces household characteristics that are very unusual. Denton has an unusually large number of households that have only one or two people, resulting In an average household aize of 2.3 persons per household which is about 20 percent less than the average elsewhere In the region. r i f'jr'\ a r"DftA*ftwcserNC0WftH[UMruxU00OWMAMON1"Ira1ftP4W_A emvn"*MMeoe Page 30 r c Revised Section 4 Housing Table 4.1 Denton Planning Area and Denton Urbanizing Area Estimates of Population and Required Housing Units 1999.2020 Denton Denton Planning Urbanizing Area Area 1999 Population Estimate 87,930 80 220 1999 Area [Square Miles 275 71 1999 Populatlon per uare Mile 320 i'1-0 2020 Population Estimate 215,110 183,950 2020 Area (Square Miles 275 1013 2020 Population per Square Mile 782 11,6112 Change In Population 121,180 108 290 Percent Change 1998.2020 145% 144% Change In Single•Family Population 94.1 DO 75,210 Change In Muitl•Familly Population 33 080 33,080 Re ulred Sln le•Famil UnEls 33 600 65% 28 860 59% Re ulredMultl•Famil Units 18,400 35% 118,00 41% Source: City of Denton, REI Population Forecast, 1999 pV_ Issues A. GENERAL HOUSING ISSUES Housing and residential land use Issues Include the following: • Nelghborhood protection • Housing density • Walkable neighborhoods and convenient neighborhood services • Housing affordability • Housing accessibility • Sprawl and Inefficient provision of urban services • Manufactured housing siting 0. ROLE OF MANUFACTURED HOUSING For sometime, city leaders have struggled with the issue Thereleo(manufactured housing. kNhe-eoanmuaily-must be meel, For some time city leaders have stnaled with Ihis Issue. The character of manufactured housing has been perceived as having a negstfve Impact on the property value of nearby singlo•famlly homes. Current zoning In Denton allows r manufactured housing In parks on less land per unit than conventional eingie•famlly housing, n This Is possible with an approved specific use permit within the agricultural, commercial, light ( I ` Industrial and multifamily-two zoning disVIcts.

DOWNTOWN UNIVERSITY CORE HOUSING The historle downtown area of Denton offers unique opportunities for housing a growing segment of the community: small, non-family households for those who want to live near where they work, play, or go to school. The area generally bounded by Carroll Boulevard, Eagle Drive, Bell Avenue, and Congress Street has several stable and affordable single-family neighborhoods that need to be preserved. Throughout the United States, downtown housing Is booming. Cities are reversing a tong, steady decline In the number of housing units in their core areas. In Denton, this phenomenon Is occurring at a very small scale. Housing units are being created above stores a few units at a time. The Pecan Place senior housing project is the largest recent downtown housing project. High-density, urban-style housing should be encouraged In the downtown area through mixed- use types of projects. The city can do this by: • Offering convenient transit service connecting to universities, job centers, and shopping areas • Providing streets with safe, pleasant pedestrian connections from downtown to both universities • Keeping major city Institutions such as the library, city halls, and police departments In the downtown area Collectively, the University of North Texas and Texas Woman's University had a 1998 enrollment of about 34,000 students. It Is estimated that less than hair the enrolled students live In the city. If more students lived on the campuses or adjacent to the campuses, many positive Impacts on the community would be created: • Opportunities for transit, bicycle and pedestrian travel between home, work, play, and school would be greatly enhanced; • Pressure on parking In and around the campuses would be greatly reduced; • Pressure on the roads of the city and the surrounding area would be greatly reduced; and, • More disposable Income would be captured in the city. University students live In unique households with unique transportation demands. The demographics of unlversity-orlented households tend to be either small households or larger households made up of several unrelated Individuals. As a result, many of these households could be accommodated with relatively high density in proximity to the two campuses. The area along the 1.35E corridor between Carroll Boulevard and Avenue D, northward to Mulberry Is an j ideal location for university-oriente}, high-density housing, !k D, VARIETY OF HOUSING IN NEW NEIOHBORHOOOS r One of the adopted policies related to housing to encourage a vane of housin a g y g types, styles, sizes, and prices within the same neighborhood, Neighborhood stability could be enhanced by allowing households to stay within the same neighborhood as households and housing needs change. A newly-wed couple does not need the same size house as a two-parent, two-child family, or an empty-nester household or a widowed grandparent. The current zoning ordinance ek,ft~ljMCHT cOUPR[KNSrtnwueronswonovenwoNtortr a►Manwaeea++wwrwdot Page 41 i u , FteWWW Section 4 Housing and prevailing development patterns often cause families to move from one ne g to another as their housing needs change, Tradilional neighborhood mixed-use development encourages a variety of housing types within a new development. Types of housing that may be considered In traditional nelghbortmel or mixed-use neighborhood development include; • Standard lot single-family detached dwellings • Small lot single-family detached dwellings • Accessory dwelling units • Two-family dwellings • Single-family attached dwellings • Mixed-use dwelling units • Small multifamily dwellings j E. ATTAINABLE HOUSING Housing In Denton must be attainable to those who work or attend school In Denton and went to live In Denton. Attainable housing is housing that is available, accessible, and affordable. 1, Availability The demand for housing in Denton Is currently very high relative to Its supply. This Is true for university student housing, new types of housing for changing household characteristics, j and conventional single-family housing, 2, Accosslblilly In general, housing in Denton Is becoming less accessible to jobs, shopping, schools, and other activities. New single-family residential subdivisions are often located on the fringe of the community, Isolated from work places, stores, and schools that ore centrally located. In- fill residential development that is accessible to other community facilities and activities , should be encouraged. In the downtown university cores area and community and regional activity centers, some types of housing can be encouraged in close proximity to other activities. 3. Affordability Housing demand has led to rapidly Increasing housing prices. This pressure tends to produce new housing only at the upper and of the housing cost spectrum. For most members of the community, living In new housing is less and less likely. A full range of housing should be available in Denton so that all members of the community that want to can live here. This housing should be accessible to work, play, education, and shopping. V. Goals d Stratagles A. ENCOURAGE AFFORDABLE HOUSINQ r A~ 1. Goal / 1. One of the housing component goals Is to encourage the development and preservation of affordable housing for low- and moderatednoome households.

Strategies a. Add housing a nits at the some rate of growth as that of job growth. i b. Halt th leas Maintain existing housing stock which Is usually more affordable than new housing. c. At least sixty percent of new housing should be owner-occupled. B. CONSERVE EXISTING HOUSING STOCK t. Goal One of the best ways to assure that some affordable housing remains available for those with low and moderate incomes Is to maintain the existing housing stock In good condition. As new housing Is created, households move-up, leaving behind an existing housing unit that Is usually available at less cast than new housing, 2. Strategies a. Allocate up to 50 percent of community development block grant (COBG) funds annually to housing assistance programs for low- and moderate-Income households, C, ENCOURAGE ATTAINABILITY 1. Goal Attainability Is the confluence of availability, accessibility, and affordabillty. The housing needs of the existing and projected population must be met. 2. Strategies r a. Use incentives, bonuses, and public-prlvete partnerships to develop housing for low- and moderate-Income households in areas accessible to jobs, education, and civic facilities. b. Structure an Impact fee for new development to discourage sprawl and the long extension of utilities. Encourage the development of affordable housing where Infrastructure capacity already exists. c, Revise the development codes to allow residential and nonresidential land uses within the same zoning districts. d. Use incentives such as residential density bonuses and allow accessory dwelling units where appropriate. j I Cwyoau+ral.1~EFTrfCp,/PpFIFNlNF►UN tFCTgNl.Npllp Kta7g4 LOrtnll-04M IbMYen/6lenp~hlnYrl}bl sot Page 43 r c PANIsed Section 5 Economic Divlersifica#ion In the broadest sense, economic development refers to the changes In an economy over time that occurs because of the formation of population centers such as towns and cities. Economic development usually has a connotation of growth. Economies develop due to simultaneous Interactions among increasing population, increasing numbers of employers and workers, and Increasing numbers of businesses that provide goods and services for local consumption as well as for export. Economic diversification refers to a more directed type of economic development resulting in a more stable and resilient economy, which provides high-quality jobs In businesses acceptable to Denton. Diverse and developed economies are characterized by many different types of Industries and Interlinked by mutual suppliers and consumers. These economies often export goods and services to other population centers. Such an economy will be more resilient, stable, and self-sufficient, thus being less vulnerable to the national and regional eeanomlc fluctuations caused by federal and state policies over which local governments have little control. A healthy economy Is important to all city functions. Major Issues that must be aedressed Include job creation, business recruitment, business expansion, and small business formation. A number of elements merit consideration, Including Job quality, environmeni•.t Impacts, public resource demands, quality of the locelion (inside or outside of the city), and quality-of-life prospects. All are Important In determining strengths and weaknesses of a healthy business climate. 1_ Polkles 1 A. The City should encourage a strong, diversified, and self-sustaining economy, creating a wide range of employment opportunities, enhancing local ownership opportunities, and expanding and balancing the tax base of the city, 8. Local business ownership and small business creation should be considered high economic diversification priorities, C. Development Incentives should be considered to encourage Industries and businesses to expand or relocate within the city. A cost/benefit analysis should be performed to define and measure short-and long-term benefits prior to granting Incentives. Incentives should be considered only when proposed development Is consistent with community plans. Projects involving retention or expansion of existing businesses should be given the highest priority. D, Development Incentives may vary by size and type of establishment and by Initial and potential capacity as a generator of employment and other economic gains. Priority may be given to basic Industrios that are clean and that will make a significant contribution to , Denton's employment or its tax base. A, E.

Denton provides and maintains transportation, water, wastewater, solid waste, stormwater drainage and electrical Infrastructure system services. This section details the policies and the direction in which these vital services will grow through 2020. Franchise services such as gas, telephone, and cable television will be addressed within the street section of this document An approach that coordinates several transportation alternatives, such as transit, bicycle, and pedestrian systems has been found to cost less, work better, and Improve the city's appearance. Denton must handle interstate and regional traffic with innovative solutions that meet or exceed local needs using appropriate and ooordinated state-of-the-art transportation systems. Policies A. Denton shall use access management practices to make the investment In the roadway Infrastructure as cost efficient as possible. These practices include placement or curb cuts, median opening spacing, and parallel access roads (public and private). B. Residential streets shall be designed to Include traffic calming practices that promote the use of collectors and arterials for trips that are not locally oriented. C. The transportation network shall be designed to optimize emergency routes for police and fire operations and promote efficient delivery of services such as mail and solid waste. D. 'rho city should plan, design, and build a network of freeways, arterials (major and secondary), and collectors that provide acceptable levels of service while complementing the land-use decisions In the comprehensive plan. The Denton transportation system must be compatible with regional plans Including the mobility 2020 plan, the regional thoroughfare plan (NCTCOG), and the Denton County thoroughfare plan E. The city shall use the thoroughfare plan to plan and design transportation Improvements, program capital Improvement plan projects, and guide development review decisions. Many of the arterials In Denton are state roadways, so cooperation with the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) is essential to the construction and operation of the city's transportation system. F. All freeways shall be designed with limited access that Includes frontage or parallel access roads. Loop 288 between US 380 and IH 35 East shall be upgraded In this way to the extent possible. 0. Major arteriats are intended to carry traffic across town and between major Intensity centers. These facilities shall be divided by landscaped medians. Minor arterials should be at least four lanes, with left-turn lanes provided at all major Intersections. Collectors shall have at least one full lane In each direction to carry traffic to the arterial system. i rt H. A transportation lobbying campaign should be conducted to ensure participation In federal, state, and regional Infrastructure funding decisions. Local funding participation In priority projects should be considered for inclusion in the city's capital improvement program. cwro~LIACK"WOWMHEW KM$ECrONt*MVtK344Ors++aawaVNObCWWdW PIOMdw Page 4B h 1 I l' 1 ReA%W Section 6 Transpiwtodw 1. The public transportation system shall provide services to an citizens at a reasonable cost using routes that maximize service delivery and that meet the needs of the mobility Impaired. The system shall be compatible with eventual connection to regional systems such as Dart, the `T`, DFW Airport, and other future systems. J. The Denton trails plan should be adopted and the network of sidewalks, bike trails, and greenbelt paths should be included In the OiP for funding. Developers shall aid this network by dedicating rights-of-way and constructing portions of the network across their properties. Linkages to daily destinations that serve daily needs should be emphasized to reduce use of automobiles. K. The Denton Airport shall be a key component in the multi-modal transportation system. Denton Municipal Airporl is effectively located to optimize the movement of goods and services throughout the metroplex. L. The city will promote the use of roadways parallel to and outside the limits of the 100-year floodplains to provide a natural riparian environment by establishing green space between the road and the floodptaln. Green space is required even If the channels are Imprcved so that the limits of the parallel roadways may be dedicated to the city to serve as open space, limit flood exposure, and facilitate channel maintenance. 1!. Goals and Sirafegles A. ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP Increased trips by motor vehicles, Increased travel time, congestion, and longer trips all contribute to deteriorating environmental quality. Policies In other parts of the plan (environmental management and growth management strategy) and elsewhere In the , transportation element are key to reducing transportation-relatgd environmental Impacts. These reduce single-occupant vehicle (SOV) use, support transit, and encourage walking and bicycling. In addition, the strategies below address speck air, water, and noise environmental Impacts. 1. Goal Reduce and mitigate air, water, and noise pollution from motor vehicles. Promote energy- efficient transportation. 2. Strategies a. Identify, evaluate, and fully consider environmental Impacts of transportation Investments and operating decisio,s. b. Pursue transportation projects, programs, and Investment strategies consistent with nolsa reduction, air quality, and water quality objectives. 1'r c c. Encourage travel demand management (TDM) Initiatives Including but not limited to park-and-ride sites, adjustments to work schedules, ride-sharing Initiatives, and Improved blcycfa"destdan facilities.

Continue ar-quality mitigation procedures as recommended by the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG). B. CHANGING & MANAGING TRAVEL DEMAND 3 TRAVEL @ HE AVIOR To stow the trend of increasing single-occupant vehicle (SOV) use, the city must provide alternatives and must change the way people think about and aet-apeA Vavetacts upon travel choices. Transportation attematives to the SOV should respond to people's needs for mobility, privacy, comfort, safety, and convenience. The city recognizes that transportation needs and travel choices will change over time as alternatives to SOV travel become more viable. 1. Goals Meet the current and future mobility needs of residents, businesses, and visitors with a balanced transportation system. Provide a range of viable transportation altematives, including transit, bicycling, and walking. Reduce use of the SOV's over time or maximize occupants per vehicle. Invest In transit planning and transit systems 2. Strategles a. Educate the public, especially youth, about the Individual and societal benefits of alternatives to SOV's. Encourage Incentives and support efforts to Induce future generations to become regular users of transit and nonmotorized modes of travel. b. Initiate and support public awareness campaigns. Focus attention on the societal and environmental impacts and costs of travel choices. Inform people of the range of travel choices available. Inform those who now commute by single-occupant vehicle about the economic, societal, and environmental costs of their choices. Support federal, slate, and other efforts that Increase the single-occupant vehicle drivers share of the true cast of SOV use, c. Support and promote commuter trip reduction (CTR) programs, telecommuting, electronic communications, variable work-weeks, ano flex-time. Travel demand l management (TDM) strategies to reduce the number and length of SOV trips and increase transportation efficiency. Develop and Implement a coordinated program of incentives, alternative travel options, land-use measures, innovative design, regulations, services, and marketing strategies. Alknv developers to choose among TOM strategies. Where appropriate, pursue TOM strategies at the regional level. Support Implementation of advanced transportation and communications technologies, such as intelligent vehicle, highway, arterial, and transit systems. E d, Evaluate the success of the city's and the region's land-use strategies, and transportation systems and programs, In reducing single-occupant vehicle use. C. BIND USE & TRANSPORTATION r Land use and transportation are fundamentally Interrelated. That is why the growth ( ± management strategy focuses development In concentrated rather than linear patterns, directs transit Investments to link pedestrian-oriented activity centers, and provides more opportunities for walking and bicycling. Low-density development spreads the city over a greater area, c+trot 1W1UChVW,0WKHEN"ft,.sEerO"WMM300NE0091 +4saWu nCWW*W**ftmda Pape 61 t i • I Revised Section 6 Transportation causing the need to construct more mites of roads. Increased amounts of pavement lead to higher Initial capital Improvement costs and continuous maintenance costs. Development patterns with more density together with gridded street networks can allow for transit-oriented design and a diffusion of traffic along many different routes. However, the city recognizes that auto access will continue to be a key element In accommodating growth In activity centers and neighborhoods. 1. Goal Ensure that land use and transportation decisions, strategies, and Investments are coordinated, are complementary, and support the growth management strategy. 2. Strategies a. Provide transportation facilities and services to promote and accommodate growth and change In activity centers, neighborhoods, and Industrial centers, Seek to provide transit services and walking and bicycling opportunities so that activity centers and neighborhoods will minimize single-occupant vehicle travel, b. Promote the use of the thoroughfare master plan and capital Improvement program as toots to achieve desired land-use patterns. c, Build transportation facilities to reflect the character of the surrounding neighborhood, and be accessible, comfortable, and safe. Make the scale of transportation facilities consistent with surrounding land uses (see the street section). d. Involve the public in identifying needs for transportation facilities, programs, and services. Encourage and provide extensive public involvement opportunities, both for city decisions and for those of other agencies. In this process, address the special needs ' of low-income people, children and youth, the elderly, people with disabilities, businesses, and residents. e. Minimize direct vehicular access from developments facing arterial streets. i. Avoid through-traffic within industrial and commercial developments to reduce conflicts between automobiles and commercial vehicles except within the downtown university core and activity centers, g. Limit new traffic demands on local streets through residential neighborhoods. Large- scale multifamily uses generally should not take primary access through a tower-density residential neighborhood unless it is by way of a collector or arterial street. Traffic to and from. a commercial land use should not be routed through a residentially zoned area unless it Is by way of an arterial or collector street. h. Require new subdivisions to be designed so that the Internal local street system provides access to collector streets, Whenever possible, across to arterial streets Is limited to collector and arterial street Intersections, A o-wyoo~reuceErrcourac~rHSnrtvw~sECrbkswoaov~asb«Eaniaapaa ewww.n.nree~ Page 52 i C~ D. USE OF STRFFTS The city has a limited amount of street space, and Is unlikely to expand this space significantly. Thus this space must be carefully allocated among competing uses. 1. Goals Make the best use of the city's limited street capacity, and seek to balance competing uses. Ensure adequate capacity on the street system for transit and other important uses. Support a shift towards transit, carpools and vanpools, bicycling, and walking. Support efficient freight and goods movement. Differentiate among the various functions of city streets. Protect neighborhood streets from through traffic. Design residential streets that will promote safe driving speeds and turning movements. 2. Strategies a. Designate principal arterials, a transit priority network, and major truck routes to Identify the key functions of these streets. Make operating, design, access, and service changes to enhance the key functions of these streets when congestion significantly hinders the key functions. Changes to these streets should take into consideration the expected type and volume of traffic, safety, accessibility, and for pedestrians walking along and crossing a street. b. Designate roadway classifications as shown In the roadway component of the Denton mobility plan (Figure 6.1). c. Coordinate With the Texas Department of Transportation and adjacent jurisdictions to discourage diversion of traffic from regional roadways and pMcipal arterials onto lesser arterials and local streets. d. Use neighborhood traffic control devices and strategies to protect local streets from through traffic, high volumes, high speeds, and pedestriantvehicle conflicts. Use these ' devices and strategies on collector arterials where they are compatible with the basic function of collector arterials. Expand the traffic calming policy to eccorrunodate more variety in street designs and traffic calming techniques. Use traffb calming techniques in both existing and new neighborhoods and act?vity centers. e. Use an Inter-connected transportation system to Increase traffic flow, reduce traffic congestion, increase emergency access, and provide increased transportation system routes. E. LEVEL OF SERVICE 1. Goals Use levelof-service standards to judge the performance of the arterial, collector, and transit system. Develop and maintain a transportation model for the city. r r, A 2. Strategies (t„-\ a, Consider development of an adequate public facilities ordinance as a tool that would allow for transportation needs (LOS) to be addressed when land uses are considered for development. C%0=or.,awcectWMPR"W" OJECnakSOMARSON nn0ia6«tiaW'aCWW0 WV1FWOX Page 63 c RNISed Section 6 Transportation 1 b. Transportation modeling Is the key component for measuring level of service and development impacts, design?rg future arterials, and providing quantitative measurements of cause and effects to elected and appointed officials, citizens, and regional entities. c. Define arterial level-0f-service (LOS) to be the volume-to-capacity ratio (v/c) at designated locations. Measurements will be provided using the highway capacity manual, traffic simulation programs (Tran-SIMS), and the TRANPLAN programs. Measure p.m. peak hour directional traffic volumes on the arterials crossing at each location to calculate the LOS. To judge the performance of the arteral system, compare the calculated LOS for each location with the LOS standard for that location. Develop a LOS map to for locations to be calculated, d. Define transit level-0f-service (LOS) lobe the volume-to-capacity-ratio (v/c) at designated locations. Measure p.m, peak tour directional traffic volumes on the arterials crossing each location to calculate the LOS. To judge tha performance of the transit system, compare the calculated LOS with the LOS standard for that location. e. When the calculated LOS approaches the LOS standard (Level of Service D), pursue strategies to reduce vehicular travel demand and/or increase the operating capacity. F. PARKING Long or short-term parking Is part of every single-o cupanl vehicle (SOV) trip and Is a key factor In the choice of mode for a trip. The availability and price or parking influences people's choices about where to live, work, shop, and conduct personal business. Parking policies can Influence SOV use. The challenge is to provide enough parking to meet mobility and economic needs while limiting supply to encourage people to use non-auto modes. 1. Goals Reduce use of cars over time, particularly for commuter trips. Make the best use of the city's limited street space, seek balance among competing uses, and protect neighborhoods from overnow parking. 2. Strategies a. Consider establishing maximum parking limits for tong and short-term off-street i parking to be provided by new nonresidential devek>pment tied to the changing availability of non-auto modes In a particular area. Review minimum parking requirements and maximum Omits periodically as conditions change, such as land-use t mix, land-use density, and the availability of transit and other non-auto modes. b. Consider the development and use of off-site and shared parking for high density areas, such as the downtown unlversity core, Fry Street area and the developing activity , centers. Coordinate parking areas with access to the public transportation system. A, c. Balance the removal of long and short-term on-street parking over time with the availability of non-auto modes and with the availability of off-street parking, in part to preserve the vitality of commercial areas.

The city's first priority Is to ensure that Its citizens-customers have a sufficient source of raw water. Through existing and future surface water rights, contracts with other entities, and careful conservation, the city can provide sufficleni water to meet Denton's population projections through the year 2015. New sources will have to be established, either through contracts or construction, to meet the projected long-term demand. 1. Policies A. The city will develop and operate a water Infrastructure system that is safe, reliable, cost- effective, environmentally sensitive, and sufficient to meet future demands In cooperation with other entitles. B. Developments will be constructed and property owners will maintain their properties and private infrastructure so they do not compromise public health, endanger public drinking supplies, or pollute the environment. C. Water facilities should be located in areas that meet s^gineering criteria and are compatible with adjacent propeitles to the greatest extent pos..ible. 0. Generally, infrastructure extensions to residential and commercial development will be the responsibility and expense of the develcper. The city will follow development as determined by the private sector or as directed by the governing body by oversizing lines and upgrading trunk system. The city may also extend Infrastructure to certain areas targeted for growth in the growth management plan. The city may participate In the cost of oversizing wet-j- Ines to meet future development. E. Promote Inf II Infrastructure Improvements over new line extensions that expand the geographic coverage of the city's Infrastructure systems. F. Use phase 11 impact fees to fund additional Infrastructure to accommodate system growth and help manage utility rates. G.

B. STRATEGIES 1. Renew the city's untreated water supply contract with the City of Dallas. Based on recent population projections, Denton may need to purchase additional water supplies from the City of Dallas beginning In 2012 through 2015. The most significant Issue to be renegotiated Is the renewallexpiration terms. Denton has historically been an untreated water supply customer of the City of Dallas and wants to reaffirm this relationship and commitment for a long-term water supply. 2. Follow the provisions of SB1, passed by the Texas Legislature In 1997, as a comprehensive approach to water planning. Among other Issues, SBt provided a framework for the state to devalop a state-wide drought contingency plan that Incorporates water planning through the year 2050. Denton County falls Into Region C, along with 14 other counties. Becausa growth within Region C will demand more water supply than the region can provide, negotiations for possible future Interbasln transfers from Region D are beginning. 3. Build an additional water treatment plant to Improve the city's ability to manage nonessential water demands during periods of supply shortages, equipment failures or related emergencies. Build the plant at the Lake Ray Roberts site with a 20 MOD (million gallons per day) capacity. 4. Build additional elevated storage over the next 20 years to accommodate future water needs. The locations should include an additional 1 MO storage tank In the upper plane area for the northwest, a 1 MO elevated tank for the upper plane area for the southwest, an additional 1 MO elevated tank in the lower plane and two, 2 MO tanks in the middle plane area, Phase the existing Peach Street tank out of service because of age, location, and limited capacity. Convert the McKenna Park standplpe to serve a ground storage role for the upper pressure plane. Regain credit for the existing elevated storage by modifying the boundaries of the upper plane In a manner that satisfies regulatory criteria for elevated storage. 5. Construct two new booster pump stations (the Hartlee Field booster pump station and the high school booster pump station) and Increase ground storage capacity to 12 MO. 8. Build a new Hartlee Field Road booster pump statlan on the north side of Hades Field Road and east of FM 428 to serve both the middle and lower planes. This facility will provide for needed expansion of ground storage and high service pumping for the lower pressure plane on the east side of Denton as well as for the upper pressure plane on the northwest side of the city. 7.

As Denton grows, the Infrastructure must be upgraded to provide for the following: a Transportation of treated water from the plant and storage facilities through the existing system into newly developed areas; and, a Proper balancing of new elevated storage tanks to the existing elevated storage tanks and allow for adequate refill rates. i 10. Develop a water conservation and drought contingency plan to help reduce per capita water use during peak summer months. The conservation plan should strongly encourage the use of drought tolerant/native species for landscaping, reduction In lawn grasses, low water-use plumbing fixtures, increase public awareness through public education, and conduct Internal and external audits. 11. The city currently operates s wastewater reuse program for supplying treated wastewater effluent for cooling tower use at the Spencer Power Plans This program should be expanded to serve other customers. The expansion of this system would extend the extsting capacity of the water supply, b oatment, and transmission systems and lower operating costs for hldh-volume water users. i ,a t I i Revised Section 8 SAAL- -A. w1figabrivater Services r For wastewater services, the city's purpose Is to provide effective collection, transmission, and treatment of wastewater generated In Denton with minimal impact to the environment Though simplistic by description, this mission is challenging In the face of a rapidly growing population and in the midst of an ever-Increasing body of environmental regulations. To meet these challenges, the city recognizes the need to modernize and expand the wastewater treatment plant, Increase the blosolids management (composting) program, enhance the Industrial pretreatment and stormwater program, expand the laboratory facilities and services, and Intensify efforts to upgrade and maintain lines and lift stations. In an effort to maximize existing water supplies for a growing population, the current beneficial use of wastewater effluent must also be expanded. 1. Polkfes A. Dovelopments will be constructed and property owners vrill maintain their properties and private infrastructure In such a manner that will not co;npromise public health, endanger the public drinking supplies, or pollute the environment. B. Wastewater facilities will be located In areas that meet engineering criteria and are compatible with adjacent properUes to the greatest extent possible. C. Oversee the development and operation of wastewater Infrastructure so that it Is safe, reliable, cost effective, environmentally sensitive, and sufficient to meet future demands In cooperation with other entities, 0. Generally, wastewater collection Infrastructure extensions to residential and commercial development will be the responsibility and expense of the developer. The city will follow development as determined by the private sector or as directed by the governing body by overslzing lines and upgrading trunk system. The city may also extend Infrastructure to certain areas targeted for growth In the growth management plan. E. The city may participate In the cost of oversizing wastewater fines to meet futum development, subject to fund availability and approval by City Council, I F. The city will promote inflowlinfiltration Infrastructure Improvements over new line extensions that expand the geographic coverage of the city's Infrastructure systems. G. The Environmental Prolecton Agency (EPA) recently Issued an administrative order requiring the elimination of Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs). An estimated cost of rehabilitation of the system Is approximately 6.2 million dollars and Is budgeted in the five- year CIP. Inf ll-Inf Rration (111) studies for Hickory Creek basin will also be conducted, and funds have been identified in the CIP to address rehabilitation in this area also, i A H.

The city reserves the right to prohibit any connection to the city sewer system when it Is determined that a line or the system Is overloaded, J. The city requires citizens utilizing failing septic systems and located within two hundred (200) feel of a city sewer main to connect with the sewer main. rl. Goals and Strategies A. GOALS Protect surface and groundwater supplies from contamination by on-site sewage systems. Expand beneficial use of wastewater effluent, reducing the demand for raw water supply and treatment while at the same time decreasing the cost of water to certain large customers. Expand on the current recycling and reuse programs by increasing compost production, Increasing the marketability of thv products, reduce the cost of managing blosolids and wood waste, and prolong the life of the landfill. B. STRATEGIES 1. Provide wholesale wastewater services to entities outside the Denton area In the Hickory Creek watershed to protect the city's drinking water intake from wastewater pollutants, 2. It Is anticipated that the rural areas and a few small communities will continue to use septic tanks beyond the year 2010. All communities In areas around Lakes Lewisville and Ray Roberts must establish effective collection and treatment systems to eilevlate potential water quality problems, Active permitting, monitoring, and enforcement will be required. 3. Because the city's Intake for drinking water is located on the Hickory Creek arm of Lake Lewisville, It Is Imperative to prevent contamination of this water supply. By providing wastewater services to entities outside of the Denton area but located In the Hickory Creek basin, the city can limit the number of wastewater discharges to Hickory Creek. I l 4. Beneficial use of treated wastewater effluent Involves using effluent as It leaves the i Pecan Creek WRP but before it enters the Pecan Creek tributary, Though this effluent Is not treated at the water treatment plant, the effluent water Is of high enough quality to be safely used for a number of purposes. An effluent reuse system Is already in place providing cooling lower water for the Spencer Power Plant, Components of this system can be utilized to further the capabilities of providing this water to the Industrial and commercial sectors of the city, In particular parks and golf courses. By using wastewater effluent, costs for treating raw water to drinking water standards can be avoided. This would make cheaper water available to large users, cut down on the amount of water treated at the water production plant, and help meet water conservation standards currently being implemented. A 5, As population continues to grow, raw water Is quickly becoming the most valuable < commodity In the North Texas area. Because treatment technology is rapidly evolving and regulatory requirements are becoming more stringent, the quality of effluent is Improving euhDW, UMCO[TMCOMPFMNCNSNIKMARMNSWone ~~onEarniaa~nawwneaw++wra aye Page 64 c• I i PANISed SecdcM S Washew6010 Services dramatically.

The secondary blosolids account for or,y one-half of the total blosolids ultimately planned for the composting operstlim Primary blosoiids are presently land applledlinjected. The composting program p:rmits citizens to participate In the city's largest recycling program xith trees and wastewater from citizens to produce compost tot citizen and consumers. 7. The city began compost-marketing activities In 1947. Customers currently pick up compost materiel In an unpackaged form at the compost alto, but plans are under way for wholesale distribution. 8. The dry may establish a tree farm. The tree farm will utilize wastewater effluent for Irrigation and Dyno Dirt for fertilizer. { r C i aW~ odvWftWC8Erft0V"SHuN" runAFCT*"WMVENawtenn+a0kywMaC*T** *APAAhe Page as r t l l I { I~ RapAsed Section 9 Stormwater Drainage The stormwaier drainage system Is responsible for conveying all runoff In the city from each storm event through a network of street inlets, underground pipes, culverts. Improved channels, and natural channels. The runoff Is eventually channeled Into Lake Lewisville. The drainage system uses a 1l0-year flood as the design storm, In the 1950s, Denton experienced a flood close to this magnitude. One-half to two-thirds of the town flooded. The lack of a devastating storm In recent history and memory has given homeowners and developers a false sense of security. Construction within the 100-year floodplain is prevalent, leaving little floodplain and floodplain fringe to absorb a significant storm. As the city has grown and watersheds have become more developed, runoff has Increased accordingly, Relatively small ten-year floods are becoming a challenge to manage, as floodplain area becomes a scarce commodity. Flooding during these events is the direct result of Inadequate designing, poor construction techniques, and lack of undeveloped floc-?plaln area. Over time we have observed the value of the floodplatn area with respect to flood control. Areas with the floodplain left In a natural state absorb flooding events and provide water quality Improvements far more successfully than areas where the floodplaln has been filled and modified. By filling and developing tloodpialn areas, protecting property during flood situations became more difficult and expenska (Figure 9.1). The city recognizes the value of keeping the lloodpiain Intact, maximlzing the city's ability to manage storm events. By promoting this basic approach to stomtwater management, the city will be able to effectively address the challenges of managing storm events In the face of significant growth. 1._ Policies A. Preserve, protect and, where possible, dedicate floodplains to the city In accordance with the city's watershed management plans and the parks and recreation pla % Floodplains should perform multiple functions for flood conveyance, transportation (trails), recreation and open space, habitat protection, and environmental preservation. B. Drainage Infrastructure for development shall conform to approved watershed management plans that address both water quality and quantity Issues, including giving guidance on where natural versus Improved channels and rural versus urban drainage systems should be located. C, Minimize erosion occurring during the physical construction of Infrastructure and private 1 Improvements of developments using adopted best management practices. These 1 practices should reduc9 the potential of erosion during and after construction. D. Implement regional de'ention ponds rather than onsite detention ponds, according to the r' ,l approved watershed management plans.

Minimize the number of channel crossings to reduce potential restrictions and safety hazards and replace the existing box culvert crossings with dear spans that will bring the roadways out of the 100-year tloodplaln. F. As inFlll and redevelopment occur Inside the developed portions of the ay, existing substandard drainage systems must be reconstnrcled In a cost-effective manner to limit Impacts on the adjacent developed properties. 0. Endeavor to protect the life and property of its citizens from the 100-year storm by requiring that all built structures be above the 100-year flood level and removing those structures in the 100-year flood level as opportunities develop. H. Provide and oversee a safe, effective drainage system that respects both the natural and urban environment within the city limits, U. Goals and Sirategles A. GOALS Prevent the addition of new structures In the Foodplaln to reduce flooding and improve water quality. Correct the deficiencies associated with street flooding, Inadequate channel capacity, and the existence of an estimated 1000 structures currently located in the 100-year Foodplain. Limit the amount of reclamation of floodplain property to protect water quality. Protect the water quality of streams and lakes from stormwater runoff through enhanced monitoring, enforcement, and public education programs. B. STReIEM 1. Revise the current ordinance to prevent any new structures from being constructed In the 100-year Floodplein. The ordinance would allow the floodplaln property to be dedicated to homeowners' associations or directly to the city as a park or open space area. The property would be dedicated as one lot, preventing Individual homeowners from constructing structures at the back of their lots in what has traditionally been floodpialn easement. 2. Promote open space and buffer zones to enhance water quality. 3. Focus on the development of an organized, systematic and documented approach to operation and maintenance through: • A focused operational objective; • A definable schedule of operation and maintenance activities; • A measure of continuous operallonal and productivity Improvements; and, • Documents that can educate the public in duties and responsibilities of the drainage operation, resources required to maintain the system, and problems I preventing efficient progress.

Acquire and develop regional versus site-specifw detention ponds. 7. Upgrade the food rr*nitoring system to provide predictive flooding condition capabilities. 8. Develop new drainage regulations that require a new or existing development to make floodplaln improvements in or adjacent to a floodplaln to meet the 100-year floodpiain restrictions. Provide drainage facilities by reserving a suf dent amount of land for landscaping, green space, or other permeable areas based on fully developed watershed conditions In developments. 9. Provide criteria with a balance among the value of multiple uses, and low maintenance fife-cycle Costs, 10. Develop methods to eliminate excess dirt, leaves and construction debris from entering the stormwater network, restrictions concerning excess water runoff, and removal of soil and leaves from construction sites. Methods of erosion control will be explained through public education programs. 11. Develop an active role in monitoring and enforcement of all construction activities, establishing the control agency for the program at the local level and requiring and enforcing pollution prevention plans for construction activity. 12. Develop an education program for citizens regarding potential problems that result from throwing grass clippings, leaves, and tree limbs into drainage channels. The program will , address the common desire of citizens to have trees and other large vegetatio^ remain In the channels as a "natural habitat," when such practice only Increases flooding problems. 13.

No modern community can remain healthy, desirable, or economically attractive witiout adequate oollecllon and disposal of its waste stream. The city approaches waste disposal with a priority towards reducing waste at its origin and recovering rocyctable materials, The city Is minimizing the amount of waste which must be landlilled by providing recycle material collection, separate collection of yard waste, composting of blosolids waste. recycling discarded appliances and bulky items, collection and d'sposal of household hazardous waste, and providing waste education programs to the public. The landfill Itself will soon collect and use methane gas generated by decomposing waste as another example of resource recovery. A well-operated solid waste management system ensures waste minimization, resource recovery, environmental protection, and disposal capabilities to meet future demands. 1_ Policies A.

Revised Section 12 Parks, Recreation & Open Space Urban open-space lands may be pu y or privately owns developed-wlth rear-eau ac rtes or a preserved natural landscape, as small as a house lot or as large as thousands of acres. While private open space and recreation facilities are Important elements of urban design, this chapter addresses onty the public system of parks, recreation facilities, and open space. Attractive, safe and well-matntalned public parks, open spaces, and recreation facilities are essential elements of Denton's Image and quality of life. If strategically placed and equitably distributed, they can provide a wide array of opportunities for both Individual and community enrichment. In addition, parks and open spaces may serve to protect environmentally sensitive lands from potentially harmful effects of urban development, while preserving tW Ir recreation and transportation benefits. Parks and open spaces are places to play, to relax, to enjoy the natural environment, and to connect socially with others In the community. They can define a neighborhood and provide a cultural and historical focal polnt, as does Fred Moore Park If properly designed and maintained, parks can enhance the economic value of nearby properties, linear open spaces can be used to knit together neighborhoods with other Important elements of the city's fabric, including schools, government service centers, and commercial developments. Such lands can also serve as an effective buffer between Incompatible land uses. In short, public parks and open spaces help to protect the social, economlc, and aesthetic qualites that Denton value. In order to preserve these qualities, the city will continue to expand its award-winning parks system as the community grows. 1_ Polkires A. A wide array of parks and recreation opportunities should be equitably distributed and accessible to all Denton residents. Park and facility locations will be determined In accordance with the parks and recreation strategic plan and the parks, recreation, and open-space master plan, B. Parks and upon spaces should be located In or adjacent to floodplalns, where possible, to aid In floodplaln conservation efforts and to enhance recreation opportunities. Such areas may be developed with recreation facilities or set aside as open space to preserve sensitive areas. i C. The city should acquiro and develop parks In combination with other public facilities to provide the most cost-effective public services. Park property could be developed jointly with new schools, storm water detention basins, drainage channels, fire and police stations, or libraries. This policy should not contradict the spatial distribution objectives of the parks and recreation strateglc plan and the parks, recreation, and open-space master plan. A D. To ensure the reasonable distribution of public parks in accordance with plan objectives, ,r residential developers should provide In their projects land for neighborhood parks sulficlent to meet the needs generated by their development or provide an alternative strategy to satisfy this demand.

Implications of the Growth Management Strategy Denton's population Is projected to reach 183,600 by 2020, most of which wil! reside In planning subareas 39, 4a, 8, 7a, Be, 14 aid 15. Approximately 2,400 sores of neighborhood, community- wide parkland will be needed, an Increase of 1,588 acres. Growth In these areas will require public investment In the acquisition and planning of community parks, multipurpose centers, and athletic facilities primarily In the south and far-east parts of the clty. Park dedication requirements should help the city keep pace with the need for neighborhood parks as new subdivisions are platted and homes are built, Other Imputations of the growth management strategy and planning policies are: A. Park dedication may be used to acquire ownership lands along drainage corridors In order to preserve environmentally sensitive lands and recreation opportunities. However, substantial public Investment will be required to unite these lands Into the continuous greenbelt and trail system envisioned in the Growth Management, Slorm Water, Parks and Transportation elements of the Comprehensive Plan, 8. To provide efficiently for public services, the city should work with the Denton Independent School District and other school districts to consolidate lands for parks, libraries, fire stations, and school sites. To echleve the objectives of the transportation system, these facility clusters could be finked by the greenbelt system to residential areas, major commercial centers, and the universities, C. A new parks and recreaUon master plan Is needed to gulde the acquisition and Improvement of new parks, greenbelts, and other sigrificant natural and historic resources. The master plan should be completed end adopted n 1999, and should be updated at least once every fivo years, D.

During the public review process for development of the growth management strategy and plan, citizens repeatedly questioned the exlsting quality of their environment and the means the city could use to protect and manage 11. Environmental protection encompasses a host of Issues: water quality, air quality, Boll erosion, habitat preservation, public health, ccnservation, compatible development, weVends protection, retention and enhancement of urban forests, floodplain protection, open space designations, etc. Management of these Issues Is extraordinarily challenging. To successfully address all of these Issues, a holistic approach, aimed at balancing a myriad of values and Interests, must be utilized, The dry Is committed to a built environment that protects the health and safety of its citizens. The City of Denton recognlzes the need to value its environmental resources appropriately. By Identifying, protecting, and preserving those areas with significant ecological value, further loss of our natural heritage can be avoided. Minimizing environmental degradation and pollution Is an associated priority. With environmental concerns reaching out far beyond our city limits, any successful program addressing these issues must determine the value these resources hold for our local community, our regional community, and our global community. Our responsibility lies finally to this not•so-infinite planet on which nothing less than our very survival depends, 11 Polkles A. Development policies will emphasize environmental awareness, promote the ethlcal use of natural resources, and encourage the preservation of native habitat.

ECOSYSTEM MANAGEMENT Denton will be a responsible steward of the natural environment, by Improving air quaky, water quality, conserving resources (land, water, etc,), and reducing solid wastes. The city will work with regional, state and federal agencies and neighboring Jurisdictions to strive for Improvements In the quality of the city's and regions natural environment. The city will consider environmental Impacts of plans, programs, and regulations In regard to protecting the region's natural environment Denton will have strong resource conservation programs Including energy, water, natlve, and restored wildlife habitat areas, sensitive lands and urban forests. Energy canservatlon will be an important component In our management programs, Including electricity, natural gas, coal, and other forms of fossil fuels, as well as alternative sources of energy such as solar and wind. Water conservation will be promoted through education programs, Incentives, design standar6s and regulations, use of native, drought tolerant plant species, and the fee structure. Preservation and restoratlon of our sensitive lands and habitats requires strong governance and programs to enable development and administrators date relevant to sites. 1. Goals Develop conservation and development priorities by: • Providing city planners and decision makers with a method to systematically identify, evaluate, and synthesize various environmental attributes; • Using assigned ecological values to determine what type of growth Is compatible with each habitat area; • Acquiring and preserving open spaces considered to be of high value by the city; • Requiring proposed developments to protect the natural resources associated with iho, development site to the greatest extent possible; • Enec: raging'Green Builder" standards; and, • ExparOing tho public education program. 2.

Develop associated geographic information system (OIS) layers. By adding theta different criteria layers together, habitat value can be immodlately Identified for any piece of properly within Denton County. c. By utilizing this approach, development will be Integrated into the natural landscape by directing it away from sensitive natural areas and by applying Innovative planning, design and management practices, such as protection, buffering and mitigation, when such development occurs In close proximity to sensitive natural areas. The city will dovelop effective partnerships with the county, other governmental agencies, and the private soctor for the protection and preservation of Important natural areas. d. Establish values and rating criteria for various ecological functions associated with a specific area. Develop associated geografNc information system layers Indicafing different ecological values to determine ft most suitable area for development. Identify and describe ecological values as either a osystem services (financial benefits) or as ecological goods (less tangible but still has, beneficial value). Rate each habitat area based on site characteristics and value of that characteristic. I e. Make broader use of mitigation banks to facilitate market-based compensation to , landowners that choose to help protect amdronmentally sensiflve lands. ! f. Facilitate wise real estate development, especially In difficult economic limes, real estate developers and lenders know that osrtainty of approval and availability of Infrastructure, rather than speculative leapfrogging, will reduce costs and processing time, Therefore, new real-estate developments can be brought to market more qulckty and inexpensively within areas where effective consensus plans for conservatiai and development have been created. g, Relate ;oological values to the growth management and land use plan to determine what areas are appropriate for what type o'growth. h.

Urban design has become an Increasingly dominant Issue In Denton In response to growth In development and construction scQvlty. The quality of design of the built environment can have a profound effect on the economic and social health of a city. The quality of the surroundings where people work, live and play affects Denton's Image and attractiveness to developers searching for high quality business and residential locations. By contrast, a poorly designed urban environment can be a barrier to Investment and economic development. A high quality environment is a fundamental requirement to attract long-term, high-quality investment. The Issue of urban quality must be addressed rigorously If Denton is to achieve the quality of development that most citizens desire, The urban design strategy alms to substantially raise the quality of Denton's urban environment. As the twenty-first century approaches, expectations of quality will be raised. Denton will take an urban design leadership role within the region, A quality-based philosophy will be adopted and embraced. Urban design should receive equal consideration alongside concurrent objectives related to environmental quality, soclal equity, economic stability, and long-term prosperity. Community expectations of quality have risen considerably, and urban design Issues must be addressed comprehensively. The City of Denton w&should take a leading role within the metroplex in the field of urban design. A new approach will be adopted that embraces a quality- based philosophy. It Is possible to create prosperity, while also enhancing the environment, social welfare, and long-term economic performance, without compromising the prospects of future generations. G,_ Polkles Properly developed urban design policies need to acknowledge economic realities and functional necessities. Different areas In the city serve different purposes, so district-oriented urban design strategies are appropriate. Practical and reasonable expectations require that urban design efforts beare concentrated on the "public environment", a term that refers to areas that argils either physically accessible or visually prominent to members of the general public. Denton seeks to maximize both public and private benefits by Improving visual quality and perceptions of our Image. A. Visual quality objectives and a healthy business climate should not be considered mutually exclusive. Urban design concepts should be incorporated Into private development plan-, early Into the review process. Attention should be paid to des'n principles that In many cases do not increase project cost. B. The impact of public features such as signage, electric lines, valve boxes, solid waste recapt;, aes, streets, curbs and gutters, sidewalks, buildings, parking lots, and parks should be recognized as Important factors in affecting community appearance. City government will A , exert a leadership role In following the principles of good urban design. C.

D. Concern for community appearance should be addressed In a comprehensive manner. Such an approach provides the opportunity to Integrate urban design objectives with other planning mechanisms, such as land use, zoning, subdivision regulations, historic preservation, economic development, and environmental protection. E. Architectural diversity and creativity should be encouraged to avoid homogeneity and sterility. Contrast and variety contribute strongly to visual Interest and viewer perceptions of quality. Implementation of design standards by the city will pay strong attention to avoid regulations that promote sameness and stifle Individuality. F. Urban design principles should be emphasized In neighborhood revitalization plans, and residents should help to determine social and cultural values that are reflected visually. Will development should be evaluated carefully to promote compatibility with existing structures. New development can provide contrast yet complement older structures. O. Opportunities for the display of public art and practice of the petrorming arts should be provided In a variety of public property venues, including parks, street rights-of-way and public buildings. H. The unique and distinctive cultural and architectural features of Denton should be Identified, restored, preserved and maintained through a partnership between the city and private Interests, In keeping with the historic preservation plan. t. Development along major entranceways influences first Impressions and the Image of Denton, Good urban design should be encouraged and promoted to enhance the appearance and perception of quality along thoroughfare corridors. J. The City of Donlon's Image Is strongly influenced by Its universities, and efforts should be made to enhance their appearance whenever possible, The city should strive to encourage more community Interaction with the universities by link'ng physical access between these Institutions and public property. X. The value of trees and landscaping should be recognized as Important !eatures that strongly Influence the aesthetics and environmental quality of the city. This reoognltion of value will be reflected In all development standards. L. T'he city will continue to view the downtown as a unique and dominant area that merits special attention.

SAFETY & HEALTH A well-designed built environment can help to Improve safety and security. An unsafe environment can discourage human activity and render a site useless. Good fighting and proper site design are also Important factors. Efficient transportation design can contribute to reduce air pollution emissions. Strategically placed landscaping and careful architectural design can reduce energy consumption and save money. Designers will be expected to demonstrate that the health and safety of the city has been a factor in producing new development schemes. C. PERMEABILITY The number of alternative ways through an environment Is a measure of an area's permeability. New development should maximize permeability both within the site and In the neighborhood. Site design must be based on efficient use of existing paths and patterns of movement. New development should be designed to complement the existing network and maximize the choice of movement within and through the site. Paths Into a site should connect rather than forming a series of dead-ends. New development will be expected to take advantage of opportunities to Improve choice and convenience of movement. 0. DURABILITY B ENDURANCE Durability and endurance are very Important factors In achieving a sustainable built environment. The use of high-quality materials for surfaces should be a priority. The resistance of materials to wear Is Important H they are to last and not require excessive maintenance. Flexibility and adaptability in the design and layout of space are also Important factors to accommodate changing demands and a variety of activities In coming decades. E. LEGIBILITY Legibility refers to the ease with which people can understand and are comfortable with the organization of a place. Good legibility Is Important because It allows people to find their way around the city. Development schemes will be expected to complement and reinforce the urban character of: • Paths that help define proper routes for movement; • Districts that are recognized as areas of similar character, with unified features such as land use, density, architectural style, scale, or construction age . • Landmarks that provide specially recognized feature unique to the ci A • Edges that Indicate distinctions between different neighborhoods or land use districts; and • Nodes that are created at the juncture of paths or are created as special activity centers C AS eau WMCOVKCOUPRFHE NSNE►IAh fECTxau'wo~o Y4g1N 4dip11-0.11 ~b.~Ya•6 Cu~a•rnErd/Wht Page 64 L RmIsed Section 14 Urban Design F. DESIGN CONTEXT Site analysis will be considered an Important aspect during the development of design and construction proposals, and will Include, but not be limited to: -Paths In & around the site -Sunlight -Charge In levets -landmarks -Behavior pa Items In & around the site -Orientation -Urban form -Strategic qualities of the site -Views Into & out of the site -Native & existing habitats -Relationship to existing structures -The nature of boundaries -Vistas -Proximity to others -Enclosure of streets & spaces -Pubtic transportation routes -Topography in & around the site -Riparian & floodPlain protection -Diversity of use -Climate F. ARCHITECTURAL QUALITY The impact of architectural quality will strongly influence the quality of growth during the next twenty years. The following architectural principles shall be used to guide dedslons regarding strutluraI design: 1. New buildings should demonstrate thorough knowledge of historical architectural Information and context, but should not Imitate older buildings. 2. High-quaiily architectural design should be encouraged, Innovation, creativity and originality are considered to be primary Ingredients of high-quality architecture. Radical or challenging design solutions will be welcomed. Such buildings are individualistic, provide contrast and In these ways create iota! Identity and contribute to local distinctiveness. 3, Careful consideration of proportioning, detailing and context Is Important In designing buildings adjacent to landmark buildings by providing variety and defining space. 4. Architectural design will be used to Integrate the functions of buildings with public spaces, adding to Interest and vitality. The Impact of architecture on public spaces must be considered. Main frontages and comers should Include major entrances, windows, or other features to create activity and visual interest at the ground floor level. S. Design materials will be used and expressed authentically and appropriately. 6, The city will partner with developers on development projects and will actively explore the use of competitions in the development of significant publicly owned sites as a means of encouraging more distinctive design. Calls for design and programs for development related to projects that demonstrate consistency with the comprehensive plan may be explored by the city In partnership with potential developers and design professionals.

TRANSPORTATION INF •STRIICTURE The design of transportation systems strongly Influences the form of the built environment and the quality of life of its users. The dry will take steps to reduce the negative Impact of motor vehicles on the quality of the urban environment Transportation Infrastructure principles Include: 1. Location Mixed-use and urban village developments of appropriate scale and compatible design are encouraged. Isolated nonresidential land uses will be discouraged If they generate excessivo vehicular travel or are not well served by public transportation. Use of transit- oriented design (TOD) is encouraged. 2, Transportation Priority and Choice integration of pedestrian and public transportation systems with new development is encouraged. This Includes consideration of the approaches and access to development, and the arrangement of spaces within the site. Developers should contribute funding for public transportation Improvements where warranted, accompanied by a reduction In off- street parking requirements. 3. Parking Standards Off-street parking requirements should reflect respect for environmental quality considerations. Parking location and associated landscaping should be carefully regulated to avoid unacceptable expanses of pavement large parking lots should be broken Into smaller sub-lots. Parking standards should be carefully set to avoid unnecessary pavement. Shared use parking facilities should be encouraged. 4. Car-Fr" Development Experimental residential developments on Inner. 1 cityluniverslty center sties, in which no car-parking provision is made should be encouraged. Where Innovative vehicles (le. electric cars, etc.) are used, this parking restriction Is lifted and parking Is allowed on the street for these vehicles. Such developments will cater to noncar owners, or as otherwise stated ahl will be In locations with good access to public transportation and to a range of facilities such as shops. It will be necessary for the occupancy to be limited to noncar owners or Innovative vehlele owners 5. Design of Bridges and Transportation Structures Qualified and creative engineering Input should be used In the design of transportation infrastructure, with Interesting structural solutions, rather than the addition of decorative detailing to a standard structure. 6. Solid Waste i Solid waste containers should be located out of public view on private property, In areas specially designed to accommodate withstand truck maneuvering. The use of innovative lechnologles to reduce the visibility of solid waste operations should be encouraged. Small area plans should contain strategies for sold waste Improvements in existing developed areas. c'kr bxumeNA1ClFtMLOM1'pE11ENDN[RAN fECTgNt,AdtD VElIdgN EdThiIMNIY.iYOn15 Capy,hµN FYn,1et Page tl8 r Revised Section 14 Uftn Design 7. 100-year Floodplaln Roadways should be located parallel to. and outside of, the 100-year floodplain limits to establish {reen space between the road and the floodplain to serve as open space, limit flood exposure, and facilitate channel maintenance, S. Street Trees and Landscap!ng Trees and landscaping will be designed as a crucial component of all roadway networks. Trees and other plantings will be properly coordinated with utilities to avoid conflicts and competition for limited underground space on city-owned properties and right-of-ways. The city will fully consider the significant value of trees and the urban forest when resolving Infrastructure conflicts; select and plant appropriate tree species on public rights-of-way that maximize planting potential while protecting the safety of the public. H. NEW NEIGHBORHOOD DISTRICTS & MIXFD~ -USE DESIGN The following principles are intended to apply to new neighborhoods and activity centers with a variety of densities. The pattern of development described has been called variously the urban village, new urbanism, neo-traditional pianning, traditional neighborhood development, and transit-oriented development. 1. The Planning Unit The basic unit of planning Is the neighborhood. 2. The Neighborhood Size A neighborhood Is limited In physical size, with well-defined edges and a focused center. The size of a neighborhood should be defined as a five minute walk or one-quarter mile from the neighborhood edge to its' center and a ten minute walk edge to edge. Human scale Is the proportional standard for all structures and accessory components. Automobiles are allowed within the neighborhood but do not take precedence over the pedestrian or human needs, particuiarly the aesthetic functions that Include a `sense of piece`. These neighborhoods will typically contain transit slops and will utilize transit oriented design. 3. Corridors and Districts Corridors form the boundaries between neighborhoods, both connecting and defining them. Corridors can incorporate natural features like streams and hillsides. They can take the form of parks, nature preserves, travel oorc',dors, or railroad lines. A neighborhood or part of a neighborhood can compose a district. Districts are made up of streets or ensembles of streets where special activities are emphasized. A corridor can aiso be a district such as a major shopping avenue that connects nelghborhoods. 4. Mixed Use and Compatibility Mixed use that meets predetermined standards may be permitted within the neighborhood and provides a variety of housing for people with various Incomes, Buildings may have a variety of functions but must be compatible with one another in size and their relatlon to the street. Uses may change within a building both vertically and horizontally. Neighborhood services should be accessible within the five-minute walk. Retail Is Integrated with r i residential, commercial and even some types of manufacturing use, though not typically on the same street In a given neighborhood. Apartments are also permitted over stores and offices. Forms of housing may Include apartments, duplex, town homes, and single-family C Ah DonnwWMCNPOCUWWHEK"PUNJECMNTWOROV[0.FgN FDrtnI1dFN MrgiaUa CarvMMgM PWdW Page 81 C+ Revised Section 14 Urban Design homes, accessoryapartments, and outbuildings. Multifamily developments typically in smaller, human-scale buildings on separate lots. 5. Definition of Public Space Buildings should be sited carefully to create to defined public space. Build-to lines should be utilized to establish a consistent series of building facades, and to promote regular alignment, The street Is an important form of public space, and the buildings that define it should be expected to reinforce and enhance the streetscape corridor. 6. Street Pattern The neighborhood street pattern should be gridded. Parks, squares, diagonals, T- Intersectlons, rotaries, landmarks, and other devices should be used to relieve the visual monotony of the grid system. The range of street type Is limited, from mixed-use neighborhood collectors to narrow lanes and alleys. Limited access highways may only exist within a corridor. Cul-do-sacs are discouraged except under extraordinary circumstances, such as cases where rugged topography requires them or large lot uses occur. 7. Civic Buildings and Open Space Civic buildings, such as city halls, churches, schools, libraries, fire and police, post offices, and museums, should be placed In prominent locations. Potential sites include the frontage of squares, In neighborhood centers, and where street vistas terminate In order to serve as landmarks and reinforce their Importance. Buildings should define parks and squares, which are distributed throughout the neighborhood end appropriately designed for a range of neighborhood functions. Design and scale should be compatible with surrounding structures. Open space Is a required component of the neighborhood. Public open space Is a necessity that links different parts of the neighborhood and establishes a sense of place for residents. S. Architecture Architectural guidelines may be required for neighborhoods to estibiish unity with respect to massing, facade details, materials, and roof pitch, although many variations would be possible. Such architectural guidelines would be neighborhood-specific and would supplement citywide design standards. 9. Street Walls and Basic Design Components In order for a street to achieve the Intimate and welcoming quality of an outdoor room, Ua buildings along it should compose a suitable street wall. Building height should be sized in proportion to the width of the street. Build-to lines should be used to determine how close buildings will stand to the street, If parking lots are necessary, they should be located behind or to the side of buildings. Additional standards may be employed to govem recess lines for upper stories, and transition lines, which denote a distimUon between ground floors used for retail and the upper story floors for offices and apartmants. r / A, f; i; twrom~taKGEnncaWrttH9N "1114 rans*MVERuoNIWVIIMMR#rarSC*TV* 4h*PWe0C Page as U U Revised Section 14 urban Design rrr-- Goals & Strategies A. URBAN DESIGN 8 $ The most significant improvement to be made regarding Denton's urban design pokcies Is to Incorporate regulatory standards Into the zoning code that address aesthetics and visual quality. 1. Goal Develop urban deslgn standards to be Included as part of the city's deveiopment code. Thr, standards may be-vary In applicatkm to different parts of the city, but In all Instances, the requirements should be tied to a legitimate public purpose and consistently applied to all propertles of similar nature. Specific attention should be paid to urban deslgn elements Including, but not limited to: a. Site Deslon • Subdi dslon design • Street layout • Site design • Compalibllity with ne!ghboring properties • Open space • Outdoor storage • Parking placement b. Architectural ,,i2 • Building height and bulk • Building placement • Building orientation • Garage orientation • Building materials a Site Elemanls • fences and screening devices • Lighting • Buffering of adjacent properties • Mechanical equipment, dumpsters, and utilitles • Landsj:aping • Signage 2. Strategist a. Revise the city development code to Include urban deslgn standards. Use land use classifications to Impose appropriate standards upon different types of development. i b. Require the consideration of destgn standards at the earilest possible stage !n the A, , development revlew process. c, c. Inoorporale deslgn standards that maybe unique to specific geographic areas, such as transportation corridors or redevelopment districts, as appropriate during the development and adoption of small area plans.

All proposed development In the city will undergo some forth of site plan and design review. Review complexity should be proportional to the potential visual Impact of the proposed project. e. Determine In advance the design standards that will apply to any given property, and differentiate between the qualitative standards that will require discretionary review and approval versus quantitative standards that can be measured and 8dFnlAeIFaI1ve;y sat administered equitably. I. Detailed design standards will be developed for new neighborhood centers. The relationships between permitted density, limited mix of uses, adequacy of services, and amenities will receive special attention. The issue of buffering between existing neighborhoods and new neighborhood centers will be also be addrassed. g. Develop street tree standards for adoption as part of the landscape ordinance once proper alignment of streetscape Infrastructure has been resolved In revisions to the city's subdivision regulations. h. Develop a design strategy Intended to coordinate public eppursenasaes Improvements such a sidewalks, signage, utility poles, utility lines, valve boxes, and solid waste receptacles. 1. Adopt specific urban deslgn review processes that apply to city and other governmental development projects. B. VARIETY& DISTINCTIVENESS New development should be allowed the opportunity for site specific design solutions, Development that complements and reinforces local distinctiveness stimulates visual Interest and enhances the urban character of an area. Replication of structural styles and detailing becomes monotonous and is less appealing than compatible variety. 1. Goal Development proposals that require discretionary review should contain site-specific design solutions, based on an understanding of the character of the surrounding area, and should reinforce and enhance Denton's distinctiveness, Developers should be encouraged to utilize and Invest In architectural design services that promote Individualistic, creative and distinctive design. The city and other governmental entities should also adopt such an approach, 2. Strategies a, Project design concepts should be Identified and explained as important criterion for consideration during discretionary review processes. The appearance of proposed development and Its relationship to its surroundings should be property A , colrr iunlceted and considered prior to project approval. Poor designs should be l 1 Improved to acceptable standards or rejected. C4Ay Eoo,nyny YCBFiMCOMRRFNf.NINi/W/ UCT NIMA)VFMON lVVI#M NowAft two# '*a.,.e: Page 00 4 Rwised Section 14 Urban Design ` b. The city will undertake urban design studies and analyses, er er ndspe envy -x as part the small area planning program, to develop guidelines that promote variety and distinctiveness. Different character areas within the city should be specifically Identified, and a broad based urban design approach that treats all properties the same should be avoided. c. Design review processes shall be structured to provide opportunities to demonstrate alternative compliance within a reasonable period of time. C. VISUALLY SENSITIVE LOCATIONS Visually sensitive locations include unique natural or manmade areas considered to be Important community places, historic areas, special open spaces, key entryways Into the clty, or other locations that merit special consideration due to public visibility. 1. Goals In sensitive locations, new development will be expected to demonstrate high standards of architectural and urban design in a manner that complements or enhances the urban context. Architectural style, site design, and impact on surrounding properties should be carefully examined when development Is proposed In a sensitive location. Demolition In sensitive locations should also be reviewed to determine the Impact of both removal and replacement features. 2. Strategies 1 a. Visually sensitive locations should be Identified, geographically defined, and J protected through formal Council action. b. Development and demolition review anei approval will be required for vlsually sensitive locations, and will require discretionary review based on predetermined standards. c. The Impact of sensitive location designation on private property should be assessed and evaluated to determine the ppropriate use for of the site. 0. PUBLIC ART Public art provides a number of benefits to the city. It can creato interest, create local distinctiveness, provide a memorable image associated with the city or certain districts within the city, lend character to urban spaces, and make the urban environment more attractive. 1. Goals The provision of public art will normally be expected as part of any large development schemes. Public art should be considered as an Integral part of the design of spaces In and around development. Encouragement is given to the Involvement of commissioning expe4 so that opportunities are avallable to a wide range of artistic talent c w, oa ow uwcer r nco+aon¢HCws ~t wn eECr a,rvro~m viASaM rarni raa►o wire n COTOre as rw eoe Page 01 t Revised Section 14 Urban Design 2, Strategies a. Public art should be encouraged as part of public and private projects. b. Potential funding mechanisms should be explored to develop a public art program. a Temporary displays of public art should be encouraged to Increase awareness of Its effect and benefits. d. Public art should be located In suitable locations that Include city entryways, gateways, urban open spaces, areas of high vlsllalion, pedestrian areas, and other locations. Public art should be used in strategic locations to provide emphasis to places that should be memorable. e. Public art should be used to complement design features of the specific location In which it is placed. f. Practical Issues should be considered in the design of public art such as maintenance, durability, and safety. E. URBAN DESIGN PLAN 1. Goal A citywide urban design plan shwWwill be developed that describes the Denton community's approach to visual quality and Image. The plan should be used as Polley document to describe ongoing efforts to coordinate urban design objectives with other public concerns such as utilities, streets, environmental management, or parks, and should be used to critically examine areas In need of Improvement or protection. 2. Strategies a, The urban design plan should be used to formally Identify visually sensitive sites and locations. b. The urban design plan should be used to identify and map the city's character areas that will be treated separately. Features that are significant, such as transportation corridors, waterways, activity and mixed-use centers, large open spaces, major development sites, historic areas, or conservation areas should be considered In terms of visual Impact and attractiveness. c. The urban design plan should be used to rate and prioritize the sensitivity of different sites. The development of priorities will allow the allocation of limited resources where they are needed most. d. The city should develop the ability to prepare and use visual simulation techniques f as a way to evaluate specially designated projects. Private developers should be A, r required to provide renderings, computer simulation, or vidaotaps simulation to alkwv proper assessment of projects considered to be of significant visual impact. cwrD~WKB[Tn OMMEHN OtANK O&WOwvrRec 1DnV1-W%ReY%nac«roa**"IMMON Page 92 4 0 , Rwised Sectlon 14 Urhi rt; DodW e, The urban design n e used a device that ens nat private and public Improvements that are designed to be visually compatible, f.

Revised Section 16 The 9b let he street can be defined as the most Important enduring public space that etermines our urban environment. The street should be comfortable and enjoyable, as well as provide efficient movement of people and goods, • The street is the single largest public space in the City and should be acknowledged on that level. • The street should complement the dislinctIve character of the neighborhood or district while providing connections to adjoining neighborhoods. • Formation of the street will Include prescriptive standards, which specify exactly how a facility Is to be built, and performance standards that describe the objectives a facility will meet Our streets need to be aesthetically and environmentally pleasing and sensitive to local situations and needs. • Costs should be based on oonslderation of life cycle costs, level of service, and level of risk and impact of facility failure. • The street has a major Impact on creating development that Is sustainable, facilitating a walkable community, and creating a pleasant and nurturing environment for our citizens. lFieFeaead dom4iise, the see 4owe-lhan -0-1-GANG-01 JOYS 19PFA On!

In recent history, Denton has developed exclusively on the back of the single occupant vehicle. Suburban sprawl has Impacted our hlghways and city roadways as people find their way s through Denton on regional trips or Into Denton from outlying areas. The largest single Issue we face Is reducing the need to continually expand the transportation roadway system. The best available solution is to embrace development concepts, where trips are satisfied Internally using a variety of transportation modes. Street Development ~ A Streets are generally classified into freeways, major arterials, secondary arterials, collectors and residential streets. Each of these roadway classifications has unique street sections, amenities and associated Infrastructure. The development of these sections needs to provide the baals for sustainable development.

NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS AND ALLEY Neighborhood streets should be designed In an interconnected or grid system with smaller blocks and more dense development (Figure 16, 1). The interconnected system provides multiple routes that diffuse automobile traffic and shorten walking distances. The pattem keeps local traffic off of regional roads and regional traffic off of local streets. The streets In a nelghborhood need to be designed to provide equitably for pedestrian comfort and automobile movement. Slowing the automobile and Increasing pedestrian activity encourages the casual meetings that form the bonds of a community. Traffic calming as referenced In the traffic calming policy should be designed Into new subdivislons This proposal addresses the separation caused by the conventional ranch home' of 'estate lot" concept by moving the home toward the street using build-to lines from the right-of-way. Build-to lines require structures to 153 set at a specific line parallel to the street. The existing setback criterla are not compatible with the creation of interaction because of the separation of the home from the street. Special residential lot conditions at block ends may not require street frontages where the front yard faces onto a green or community space and there is alley access to the property. Supplemental parking Is required In this instance within the block. 1. Residential Alley New neighborhoods and districts with lots less than 10,000 square feet can use public alleys for primary access (Figure 16.2). The alley will be dedicated to the public. Solid waste service will work to serve from the alley. The alley also serves as fire prolectlon access. 2. Residential Lane This street Is designed to reduce the Impermeable area from current standards while providing for basic access needs (Figure 16.3). This street section or the residential street may be used at the discretion of the designer. • Alleys required • Use with lots less than 10,000 SF • Access from rear lot lines • Parking allowed one side • Recreational vehicle should be stored off-street In rear yards or within separate recreational vehicle storage facilities • Supplemental parking Insets within the block or block ends 3. Residential Street This street is designed to reduce the Impermeable area from current standards while providing for basic access needs (Figure 16.4). This section has a wider right-cf-way requirement and a narrow pavement section to allow all utilities within this right-of-way.

Use of pervious materials for private-car storage and shared driveways Is favorabis. • Similar to current residential street section • No alleys • Access from shared driveways • Parking allowed both sides of the street 5. Rural/Suburban Street On the outskirts of the city's urbanizing area, this street section will be used for properties subdivided Into one acre or more. This section will remain the same with 24 feel of pavement and borrow ditches along either side of the pavement. 6, Courtyard Street The courtyard street Is designed for use wM either small or large-lot development (Figure 16.6). The courtyard street block length is no more then 150 feet to facilitate fire service. No lots will have frontage at the ends of the courtyard so that clear pedestrian passage and view corMors can be used to conned to these systems. • One-way street section • Alley used for small tots • ingress 6 egress from shared driveways at large lots • Supplemental parking required • Access to path system required at courtyard end • No private lot frontage at the end of a courtyard will prevent pedestrian linkage 7.

Street trees will be placed in We area along with other Ili neighborhood specific landscaping to establish the character or theme of that district. Corner clips for residential streets will be 15 feet. B. COLLECTOR STREETS Collector streets will have multiple functions, all of which are different than residential streets, Collectors have to play a major part In establishing coordinated transportation systems. The collector has to provide equal or better aesthetic features to maintaln the character established In the residential areas. Larger corner clips of 26' to 60' will be provided at Intersections to encourage lines of sight, landscaping, and adequate room for utility transitions. The residential collector collects the traffic from residential streets and takes it to minor destinations or to arterial streets. The lane width will beat the minimum allowed to promote slower speeds. The colle-cior streets complete the overall system connections of the grld patterns (Figure 15.1) defined In the residential streets.

The right-of-way should be expanded to provide adequate space for right-turn lanes on and off the arterial. Alleys will be utilized for servicing, parking access, and to separate truck traffic from the typical user. • 2 travel lanes with parking or 4 lanes with no parking allowed • Single family residential lots front and rear yard frontages not allowed • Ingress and egress from the rear at the alley S. Miscellaneous Collector Issues Sidewalks will be 8' feet wide, placed on both sides to create class II paths that would blend pedestrians and bicycle traffic (Figure 18.15), Since one of the functions of the class II paths Is to carry bicycle traffic, the main surface of the walk should be concrete. Concrete pavers or other like surface materials may be used when commerciallmixed use structures abut the right-of-way line In neighborhood or commercial mixed-use centers. Pavers, other similar paving materials, and those with rough textures that cause tire vibration will be used to enhance the aesthetic features at intersections, areas of Interest, special nodes and corridors, al crosswalks, at parks, and traneit areas, to alert the driver that the vehicle is In an Intersection, warning drivers to slow their vehicles (Figure 16.16), Transit-oriented design will be Incorporated Into the overall design of collectors.

AFITERIALS Arterials are classified Into primary (major) and secondary. Arterials are designed to carry traffic across a district of town (secondary) or to provide major north-south or east-west routes across the city (major). All arterial streets should be divided with a median. (Figure 18.18) • Nn parking allowed • Reserved planting In the median and along both sides of paved lanes • Limited Ingress and egress through shares drives and connecting streets • OH-street parking to side or rear or structures • No residential front or rear yards adjacent to arterials • Bike lanes required • Transit nodes and bus queue jumpers • Special features 1.

Trio lanes shall be standard width except the outside lane on each side will provide an Integrated bike lane. The design of the Intersection will blend the various nodes so that transfers and Interactions occur safely and efficiently. Access management tools will serve to direct the traffic at collector connections with arterials and some minimized shared drlveway connections. D. RETROFIT AND RECONSTRUCTION When Improvements,,Rrepalr, or reconstruction of streets are planned, every effort will be made to reduce these amount of pavement, use traffic calming devices to slow traffic, update sidewalks or build new ones, and fumish landscaping where applicable. Sidewalks and planting areas may be established in the Interim taking Into account future plans that include such featuresar►tboaalure. Traffic calming devices in the Interim may be used to reduce traffic speeds with techniques such as reduced travel lane stripping or marking, and rough pavement texture insets at IntersecUons and along the street, Use of new street standards Is Implicit where redevelopment, retrofit of existing neighborhoods, or reconstruction occurs and It will not have an adverse impact on an existing neighborhood or historically sensitive area. tr. Utilities In the Street and Alley All utility systems will be designed with the original sub.Ivlslon so that they can be Constructed prior to placing the paving course on the street or alley. A. NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS rr, lA!• ~ r. New neighborhoods with alleys allow the design of wet utilities under the street and dry utilities under th o alley.

Encourage the placement of water on the north and east sides where possible. Gas would be placed under the sidewalk on the north or east side. 2, Dry Utilities Electric, telephone, cable TV, fiber optlcs, and other similar utilities may be placed In a duct system where some reserves are made for future expansions by new companies or reworkslupgrades by existing companies. Service connections may be consolidated except In extreme circumstances or where there Isere an odd number of structures being ear, 4d. This may requires use of joint trenches and placing lines w[Wn a set prescribed area Instead of the continuous separation across the entire lot. This Is parUcularfy critical for small-lot, attached housing, clustered, and compact developments. Street lights will be coordinated with all other utilities and construction, 3, Special Lot Conditions Large-lot districts and neighborhoods will have all utilities In the front right-of-way. The wet utilities will be placed like the small lot blocks and neighborhoods. The dry utilities will be placed In a duct bank (with expansion room) under the sidewalk opposite the gas line. Service lines will be consolidated as much as possible to maximize the area for undisturbed landscaping and aesthetic Improvements. All utilities, other than transmission and feeder lines, will be underground, B.

Utilities are not to be placed in the landscape or planting area. Ali utilities, other than transmission and feeder lines, will be underground. C. ARTERIALS Many arterials will have to provide adequate room for transmission or feeder lines. A specific location will be provided for these on major and secondary arteriats. The right-of-way will contain the landscape reserve and sidewalk reserve on each side and additional landscape reserve within the median. The variable width will be based on the need for turn lanes and for placement of utility transmission lines. Utilities are not to be placed In the landscape reserve area. All utilities, other than transmission and feeder lines, will be underground. D. SHARED DUCT BANKS f Developers will be responsible for working with all utility companies providing service to the neighborhood In order to address technical Issues for shared dry utility dud banks, Specific - routings, termination points, and methods must be Identified to accommodate utilities, Duct r 1 banks will provide a minimum of four reserved ducts for future expansion, upgrades, or replacement and will be provided by the developer.

Street Aesthetics The 'Street' Is more than just a place to move people and stow utilities. As the most intensively used public space In the urban landscape, the street should also be recognized as a social space, a thread that can knit together neighborhoods, Institutions and business. It's design and appearance should reBect the Importance of this space and the desired Image of the community. Elements of this aesthetic image include street trees and other plants, colors and textures used on paved surfaces, lighting, signage, public art, and site furniture. These elements can be woven together to create a comfortable and pleasing apace through which peoplo In vehicles, on bicycles, on skates, on fool or in strollers, and the handicepl ed may travel. A. MATERIALS Require the use of alternative paving materials, including the use of different textures, patterns, colors and permeability, to delineate pedestrian and bicycle paths, crosswalks, trensit stops, other non•vehlcle spaces, and at major Intersections (Figure 18.22 & 23). B. LIOHTINO Adopt standards for street and security lighting that are consistent with urban desittn, environmental, public safety and transit objectives (Figure 18,24). C.

A period of rapid growth is projected, and significant challenges will be faced regarding Denton's edges during the next 20 years. The city currently holds about 75,()00 people. By contrast, areas on the perimeter of Denlon will acoommodate 110,000 additional persons by the year 2020. Not all of the areas that will grow are Inside the city at this time. A 3- 112 mile extraterritorial jurisdiction, or ETJ, extends outward from the city limits, which can be annexed and made part of the city if municipal services are made available to the annexed properties. Another boundary hat is important at the city's edges Is the CCN, or certificate of convenience and necessity, is an area certified by the Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission (TNRCC) for water, wastewater, or other utility services. The city water and wastewater CCN's grant exclusive authority to provide these services within specific boundaries, Many cities grow from the center outward, through annexation, by extending utilities and services incrementally from existing points of service. As a member of the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex region, extending wafer and sewer lines is very expensive and a'leapfrog-effect" occurs when thousands of acres cf undeveloped land are bypassed. Police and fire protection, solid waste collection, and other services likewise experience stress when'urban sprawl" occurs. Should the City of Denton decline requests to provide services to properties within its ETJ, particularly for water and wastewater services, other providers such as Municipal Utility Districts could serve ETJ areas In place of city government. Development would then be exempt from zoning and building code requirements, creating an environment of uncertain density, land use patterns, and unmanaged growth. As a member of the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex, Denton must also consider the impact of edge development on neighboring municipalities. Several interlocai agreements have been made with other cities such as Argyle, Corinth, and Shady Shores, and help to define boundaries between municipalities to the benefit of property owners near city borders, When Denton's population surpasses 100,000, the ETJ will extend 5 miles from city borders. This would raise Denton's ETJ from 165 square miles to 197 square miles. State annexation statutes will be reflected In any annexation plans for the city. 1. General Policles I Proacti-,e planning is considered the preferable approach, and proper edge planning Is Important to define a growth management str, ifegy that will benefit the most people. Proactive ptanring requires preparation and an Investrre, it of resources In anticipation of growth. Public involvement is critical to plan success. Anticipr bon of potential adverse Impacts of unmanaged growth is a key objective. The less preferable alternative Is to react to growth and its impacts as they happen. Adverse impacts are typically r core expensive to fix than to prevent. Proactive planning Is staying a'step ahead" of growth; reactions to growth are always a step behind. The edge policies are intended to keep Denton a step ahead. r r Denton should endeavor to set finite boundaries that make sense, rather than allowing annexations to set arbitrary ETJ edges. ETJ edge areas that are isolated or pose accessibility problems should be carefully evaluated to determine of service provision can occur on a cost effective basis. Political bubdivislons adjacent to Denton, such as Argyle or Corinth, are obvious hard edges to Den[on's jurisdiction. Geographic boundaries can also be used advantageously - C` ,Oon,m WMCMTKCOMPAIHENUnPLANM IGNAmW noVERSONear~neawn~we~aco'v~«wwra'.az Page 105 t Revised Section 17 The Edge water bodies such as Lewisville Lake and Lake Ray Roberts represent natural barriers that define Denton's current edges. Watershed delineation is another method useful to determine the feasibility of jurisdiction extensions, because watersheds define directional gravity flow for sewerage and drainage systems to a common point, and vater quality objectives can be addressed within Individual basins. The Hickory Creek watershed (to the west) and Clear Creek watershed (to the north) represent two edge basins that may help to define jurisdiction expansion objectives. Proactive planning should be utilized to perform cost-benefit analyses whenever edge expansions are considered. Specific Polkles A. Essential services provided by government must be maintained at the highest levels of quality possible. City services Intended to protect and preserve public health and safety must be provided to all existing and future Denton stakeholders. B. The growth management strategy should support the coordination of public services with private development. Development patterns that make the most effick.nt use of public services and Infrastructure should be promoted. The true impact of private development should be accurately Identified and assessed In proportion to public costs and benefits. C. The community should establish development rules that are dearly stated, administered efficiently, and enforeld oonsistenUy. If development Is proposed that does not satisfy all the rules, it should not be 0 owed. 0. Land uses should be bala ced to maintain a diverse economy and a well-proportioned tax base. Th(% city will provide ipportunities for the development of a full array of land uses within the city. E. Areas of tiie city susceptible to environmental damage, or where infrastructure systems are stressed, or where devolopment would contradict city planning objectives should be Identified and protected. F. Zoning should be used as originally intended, to address extreme incompatibilities between land uses. Zoning should be used to identify performance standards that allow land uses in defined districts based on their ability to mitigate potential negative Impacts on neighboring properties. A reexamination of the use of zoning as a planning tool should be conducted to j reflect community values successfully. G. Development guidelines should be established to allow a wider range of land uses to coexist within close proximity to each other. Site design principles, aesthetic guidelines, and construction standards should be Investigated as possible tools to promote land use compatibility and encourage developmental diversity. H. The location, placement, and design of public facilities such as parks, schools, fire stations, r libraries, or human services facilities should be used to create neighborhood activity centers. rf., 1. Coordination of planning efforts between different units of local government should be i encouraged to save money and yield greater benefits to residents.

J. The city should be designed to accommodate people rather than automobiles. As growth occurs, a variety of mobility systems should be given space to connect people to destinations that are important to daily functions. Transit, bicycle, and pedestrian linkages should be planned and implemented to serve daily transpo tation needs safely and conveniently. K. Denton's ability to grow and expand should be Identified in the city's annexation strategy. City limits and extraterritorial )urlsdiction (ETJ) boundaries should be clearly established, and relationships with other jurisdictions should be determined through Interiocal agreements. The annexation strategy should also reflect the costs of service provision and external environmental impacts associated with land located In the ETJ. E. Denton will endeavor to protect the Integrity of neighboring communities where development In Denton occurs adjacent to those communities, A Strategies A. The city will prepare an annexation plan, In accordance with state legislation and with a minimum 3-year time horizon, to coordinate the availability of municipal services with areas likely to experience development pressure at urban densities. The city annexation plan wiil be considered a master plan that requires coordination with other master plans that address water, wastewater, drainage, transportation, parks, libraries, capital Improvements programs-, and other improvements, B. The city will not encourage development at the edges of its ETJ, In recognition of the higher costs of 'leapfrog' development and haphazard urban sprawl. An estimated 60 percent of the land area within the city remains undeveloped, and services are for the most part reasonably available to vacant land inside Denton. Incentives encouraging InAIt development will be Implemented, particularly within existing city emits. C. The city will proactivety annex land within its southern ETJ and other urbanizing areas that 'b9come attractive for urban development due to availability of municipal utilities, and due to lot.stion within dose proximity to areas being subdivided and developed. Proper ma iagement of development in the urbanizing areas depends upon annexation and apptica!ion of zoning regulations that support the recommended land use plan. Pending anticipated changes in state law regarding munldpal annexation authority and the vested rights statute, the city annexation plan will Identify areas that should be annexed, by priority, to a lsure that zoning reguations will govern proposed subdivision plats and subsequent development. D. The city will work with adjacen' municipalities to determine shared boundaries, and will execute interlocal agreements based upon mutual agreement that will benefit affected t ' property owners. The municipalities along the western edge of the ETJ - Northlake, Ponder, f E and Sanger- will be approached to determine 9jurisdictional boundaries can be determined through the negotiation ul Inledocal agreements.

The ETJ area that extends south from Hickory Hill Road, tows rlon e a r Canyon, will not be annexed by the city. The city will provide wastewater services in this area, and will relinquish its ETJ authority to other interested municipalities that are prepared to provide fun services required by state annexation law. Hickory Hill Road will be considered the southemmost boundary of ETJ that will be eventually considered for annexation. F. The ETJ area that extends east from Hickory HIII Road, toward Lewisville Lake between Highland Village and Corinth, will not be relinquished by the city unless all water quality concerns are addressed with respect to Denton's raw water supply, stomnvater quality, and other environmental objectives. This area Is not likely to be annexed due to the extent of floodplaln land under the Jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. 0. The extent of westward ETJ expansion w€n be analyzed In the upcoming city annexation plan. Consideration will be given to the environmental management objectives being formulated for the Hickory Creek watershed, and the feasibility of extending ETJ Jurisdiction Into other watersheds. Additional research will be devoted to the policy chokes Involved in extending ETJ boundaries to the west side of Krum, Justin, Northlake, and Fort Worth, where access to ETJ areas wilt prove difficult H. The northern edge of Denton ETJ will be determined through examination of the extent of the Clear Creek watershed, the Jurisdiction governed by Sanger, and the Impact of Highway 1-35N. Lake Ray Roberts Is a significant resource and geographic barrier to the northeast. The Lake Ray Roberts district plan will contain analyses as needed to prepare edge recommendations In the northeast comer of the dVs ETJ.

The City of Denton Is fortunate to be served by several comprehensive and Innovative Independent school districts. The school districts are challenged with continuing their level of service to area students In a climate of population growth and Increasing responsibility mandated by the State of Texas. Recent residential development activity within the City of Denton planning area has been located primarily within the Argyle and Denton Independent School DisWAs. These two districts contain almost all of the urbanizing areas and are expected to experience most of the projected residential growth over the next several years. As development continues to move from the southern portion of the pfanning area to the north, the remaining districts are also expected to receive a share of this significant residential activity. 1. Needs Assessment The estimated addition of 35,888 single family and 18,430 muitl-family dwelling units over the next 20 years will have a significant Impact on the districts located within the study area. This residential development Is projected to add another 28,800 students to area schools -15,300 elementary, 6,500 middle, and 7,000 high school students. The urbanizing subareas are expected to generate 85 percent of the projected student growth, a total of 24,500 school-age children -13,000 elementary, 6,500 middle, and 6,000 high school students. H. School Siting Guidelines + The establishment of school siting guidelines will help ensure that future elementary and secondary campuses are located, designed, and built to the most efficient manner possible. They will also enable the city to work more closely with all Its school districts for the reservation and acquisition of adequate school sites and the integration of future schools with other city services, such as transit systems and parks facilities. Requirements for each school site will vary by the Intended use and physical characteristics of the property being analyzed. The specifications outlined here are Intended as general guidelines for the Identification, evaluation, and acquisition of appropriate school property. Siting guidelines may be expressed in three categories - physical characteristics, service area, and locabonal criteria. A. PYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS The following are general guidelines to develop schools in Denton. Each school district has it's own standards for development. 1. Acreage r A, r et1xe;+eaed4ohaats anA ( ! The types of proposed schools and their planned capacities will determine minimum acreage requirements.

Topography School sites should not have any slope less than 2 percent nor greater than 10 percent. Furthermore, the grade should not exceed 5 percent at all building and paving areas. 3. Drainage and Easements Preferred sites should be primarily free from flood plain and drainage areas. Outdoor play areas may be located within flood plain areas pending city approval of site plans; however, all permanent structures will be located well outside flood plain areas. The Interiors of proposed sites should be clear of easements. Utility easements may be located along the perimeter of a site. B. SERVICE AREA Service areas vary by the type of educational facility and the density of the residential area served. Service area guidelines help ensure an equitable disWbuuon of school facilities throughout the planning area. Service Area Guidelines Type Maximum Maximum Maximum Facility Service Area Walkin Distance Commute Time' Elementary 4.0-mile radius 2 roles 30 minutes Middle 8.5-mile radius 2 miles 45 minutes High 9.5-mile radius 2 miles 60 minutes ' The maximum time a student should spend on a district school bus. C. LOCATIONAL CRITERIA Educational facilities shouic he $ocated appropriately according to their Intended uses and anticipated Impacts or r dja~ent property. Elementary, middle, and high schools each serve significantly different ix~ulauons and provide significantly different services and should be located accordingly. 1. Elementary Schools r A a. Neighborhood Schools Elementary schools are Intended as neighborhood-oriented facilities and should be ciosety tied and immediately adjacent to the residential areas they serve. Every ev+Vn~W'W-NJt tauPXE HEN"" UCT NVWMVMSCN TV01e6-wa WOO Ca nn""PWdW Page 110 r I i I ReVised Section 18 Schools effort should be made to Incorporate them with neighborhood facilities each as j neighborhood parks and community centers. I b. Land Use Relationships 1) Elementary schools should be Immediately abutting and/or within residential developments. 2) Primary access to each elementary site should be from a residential collector. 3) Bus service access should be separated from primary access - preferably from a secondary site access (.e. slde street). 2. Middle Schools a. Community Schools Middle schools are Intended as community-oriented facilities since they are Intended to serve several neighborhood areas. Middle school sites also contain outdoor facilities - tracks, football/soocer fields, baseball diamonds, and tennis courts - that may be Incompatible with lower density residential land uses. i b. Land Use Relationshtos 1) Adequate buffers are recommended between Immediately adjacent single-family land uses. Appropriate buffers Include parkland, green belts, streets, etc. 2) Primary access to each middle school should be from a residential or commercial collector. 3) Adequate separation is recommended between primary and secondary access - j preferably from a secondary site access (i.e. side street), I 3. High Schools a. Regional School High schools are located centrally to a region of the district in which they are located. They should be Incorporated with community or regional facilities like community parks, regional parks, or university facilities. b. Land Use Relationships 1) Due to noise, traffic, odor, light, and other simlar Impacts, high schools are typically considered less compatible with single-family land uses. 2) High schools should be generally located at the fringe of commercial centers with direct connectivity to the residential areas they serve, via the thoroughfare network, transit connections, and/or bicyclelpedesWan systems. 3) Primary access should be from commercial collectors. 4) Adequate spacing should be provided between primary and secondary access - preferably from a secondary site access (i.e. side street). Policies A.

Intergovernmental coordination should be facilitated to the maximum extent possi , regardless of jurisdiction or service responsibilities. Efforts should be made to share resources whenever possible, and redundancies or duplication of effort should be eliminated. C. Local government projects should comply with the same regulations that are imposed on private development within the community. Every effort should be made to ensure compliance on the part of city, school district, and county projects. D. The impact of re, ~Jentlal development on school district facilities shall be evaluated to measure anticipated student enrollment impact; to facilitate the reservation and donation of adequate sites for future educational facilities; and to Integrate school sites with other public facilities including, but not limited to, neighborhood parks, pedestrian/bicycle systems, and transit systems. Municipal development decisions should consider the adequacy of school facilities as an important criterion during the evaluation of infrastructure capacity. IV, Public School Goals 6 Strategies A. ADEQUATE SCHOOL FACII ITIEWO 1. Goal Adequate school facilities should be planned and constructed to accommodate anticipated student growth. 2. Strategies a. The city should share development proposal information at the earliest possible stage to allow school districts to facilitate school district-developer contact and allow %ine for discussion and mitigation of school Impacts, and develop a process to expedite Implementation of this strategy. School districts may provide their specific , standards at the time of development proposals. b. The city and the school districts will mutually analyze student impacts of proposed residential developmenh at the pre-design, zoning, and plat phases. Assess and determine the adequacy of schools as an important Infrastructure oomponent necessary to serve a proposed development. Develop a consistent approach to evaluate the Impact of proposed development. c. Encourage developers to donate and reserve adequate school sites. d. Partner with school districts to support state legislation that would allocate adequate funding for mandated programs. e. Promote economic diversification in the form of commercial and industrial tax base to Increase available funding for future school facilities. 0, \ i r% 4D~!aWWnr4owo KNSV1KOSE raWWORuvcnsroeean&11oaxftMkr^ arowrwrr+ex Page 112 r.

Cities have traditionally shown a tendency to concentrate efforts on notification and participation. As Is true in many areas of specialization, city planning and development issues have become increasingly complex. Education has recently been recognized as a very important process If citizens are to be empowered to make well-informed comments and decisions. Determining the appropriate level of public Involvement for different planning processes Is not always easy. State law requires the city to post meeting agendas, notify adjacent property owners, and hold public hearings to hear public comments before decisions are made. A legalistic view of public Involvement Is often too narrow to Involve those affected by planning decisions. Local procedures that extend beyond the minimums set by state law need to be considered to meet citizen expectations. For example, the city recently improved the process of notification for zoning-related public hearings. The law roqulres notification for zone changes and other similar matters to property owners within 200 feet of the subject property. The city has gone beyond this by notifying residents outside the required area as a courtesy and by posting sign: on the property In question. This was done after evaluations of the benefits of improving the notification were in line with the cost of providing the notice. Other opportunities to Improve public notification, education, and participation should be explored and developed Polices A. City of Denton stakeholders should be Invited to participate In all stages of city planning processes. City staff will develop procedures that actively engage stakeholders in city planning. This approach should extend beyond planning Into design and project-specific activities. Chareltes, which are used to involve groups of people in project design, and demonstration projects should be considered to obtain citizen Input before major projects are Implemented or to Introduce Innovative design concepts. B. Public Involvement should serve the planning process as an educational tool. The comprehcnslve plan is of only limited value if members of the community don't understand what It means. Development concepts can be highly technical and complex, and plan should explain unusual concepts that may not be easily understood. C. The city should find out which types of media will engage as many stakeholders in the planning process as possible. Telovtsion, newspapers, newsletters, meetings, speaking engagements, publications, resource centers, and other options should be used as appropriate to communicate with a 3 many stakeholders as possible. D. The city must coordinate these efforts to avoid communication over-saturation, r C cry DawrwuYClETIfL0A1PRENENlN1 MNlELTgNSV.oNC YFJtlgN ED~iP11#h MMV,~a CMpNWN hn.Ooe Page 11 Is c R R+ev sW Section ZO PLMIC Ir1VOIv~BtttlArl! Il. Goals and Strategies A. GOALS Public participation In planning Involves people who are not professlonal planners or government officials. These citizens and other stakeholders review, discuss, debate, and Influence the development of public plans, regulations, and development projects, Citizens in Denton do take part In planning and declslon-making. They have consistently shown interest In many community Issues. Public involvement brings In Individuals, Interest groups, organizations, government agencies, and corporations. Citizens are Invited to take part In planning for several reasons: s Democratic government guarantees citizens the right to have a etrong voice In all makers of public policy. s Citizens often provide needed Information to develop, maintain, and cagy out a°ective public policies. P Local officials need comments and Woes from those who will be directly affected by proposed policies, s Citizen involvement educates the public about governmental issues. It creates an Informed community which, In turn, leads to better decislon-making, s Giving citizens a sense of empowerment and ownership In the development of policies, i plans, and projects create a higher level of public participation and consensus In making government decisions, s Citizen Involvement Is an Important means of enforcing our land-use laws. Having citizens Informed about laws that affect them and acknowledging their right of access to governmental processes ensures that the laws are applied properly. B. STRATEGIES 11. Planning The best way to have strong citizen Involvement Is to have strong planning for citizen Involvement. A successful public participation procedure must be carefully designed and managed, a, Manage public Involvement as a major element of planning. b. Provide a way for the public to take part in each major action and to address Important community Issues in land-use decisions, c. Develop and use formal procedures to make sure the public Is notified and Involved. d. Provide timely and accurate Information to members of boards and oommisslons to ! Improve the quality of public declslon-making. f A e. Maintain a registry of stakeholders, Interest groups, and Individuals with expertise or Interests in specific processes or areas. Make sure appropriate Information Is j continually distributed regarding projects, plans and development codes.

In recognition of the cost of public notification, education, or participation, the city should provide resources (stall and funds) to support new public involvement processes. g. The city should continue to recruit residents who express interest in serving as board or commission members. II should Improve the process if needed. Such volunteers should continue to be recognized for their contribution of lime and expertise. 2. Public Notification The moil common complaint from citizens about Eovem meat is 'Nobody told usl' In spite of city efforts, people do not always get the Information they want. Stale law requires some forms of media, but these don't always do a good job of getting the word out to the public, We should add to traditional notice and hearing procedures to let everybody in the community know about Important matters. The following may make the message heard more widely, a. Information should be sent to the people most likely to be affected. This shouldn't be limited to the minimum requirements of state law. b. Notices should be posted in conspicuous Wooes such as public buildings, community centers, public gathering places, the affected property, or any other location where many people can see them. c, Public Information messages should be clear, simply stated, and supported with photos or Illustrations when appropriate. d. Newsletters could be distributed regularly to report on community planning Issues, major projects, upcoming meetings, and other matters of public Interest. e. A speaker's bureau should be developed, listing city officials and other well-informed persons available to speak before service groups, clubs, and school classes. f. Newcomers to the city should loam Immediately about how they can take part in public city activities. They could be reached by notices placed In highrvlsibllity ettes In high-traffic areas. g. City staff members should work actively to provide news media with Information for the public 3, Public Education When major planning tasks arise, the city could create a special took force or advisory committee should be considered. Resources should be adequate for the job, Including city staff support. The following are ways to educate the public; A a, Briefings or roundtable discussions with key community leaders and stakeholders. ewro« .u~ceenrceMOacrcnshc"UCT"rwamwuaN[Wei ic►r~.wawwror rweac Page 120 c. i I~ Devised Section 20 Puhlic I5511%V11rernelnt " b. Summaries new poll es a regulations or the people and groups who participate or testify In development process. Explanations of the findings made by decision-makers to help people understand conclusions, c. Ask schools and teachers to help get students Involved In planning and participation on government. Many very successful curriculum modules have been developed for use in classrooms of all ages and sizes. d. Develop specific materials, using a wide variety of media to let citizens know more about planning and development. Use of the publi"ocess cable channel for Informational tapes on growth and development Issues. 4. Public Participation A common criticism of government Is `You didn't nsten to our concerns Strategies should be used to get public comments so that we have clear communication and constructive use of the public's Ideas. a. Public meetings in nelghborhoods should be a requirement before scheduled public hearings for zoning changes. b. The public should be Invited to meet in places that are dean, safe and secure, are handicapped ooeesslble, and have plenty of off-street parking. c. Times of public hearings and neighborhood meetings should be chosen to keep from conflicting with other events as much as possible, d. Telephone surveys, mail surveys, or door-to-door interviews should be considered when community views are needed to gauge feelings about significant Issues. e. Speakers from Interest groups or other agencies should be Invited to make presentations to the planning staff, public officials, council, boards, committees and commisslons. I. Town hall meetings, workshops, charettes, and brainelormIng sessions should be considered as alternatives to audience meetings when appropriate, 1 g. Written records of public comments should be made part of the public record, and city staff should Indicate a response to each comment. euo~..mawce~nr~owvaewtarEruM~efaNSVae~nerorniiaw~.rw+eenw+u+rwr~.e,e NO* 121 Mail 1 I Revised Section 21 1111111 RecommendalUons Land Use Rseomrra.irdaUon ' t Implementation Ac9on ' Primary t ; t tlupgealed budget J.I { RNponelbiilty „lcheduls source 1.

BENCHMARKS & INDiCATQRS Benchmarks and Indicators tell us where the comprehensF~e plan is, has been and what direction it is taking the city. For example, these Indicators may come from assessments of growth trends, built environments In the recent past, taxing abilities & ratios, and how often the plan Is amended. Typically, a maJor assessment of the comprehensive plan will take place every b to 7 years. Where essetsments Indicate failures within the plan or changes In direction from the Adopted comprehonsfvo plan, a potential update of the plan is foreseen. In an effort to track the comprehonsive plan's performance, an annual report will be prepared wllh updates of all statistical data and recommendations for revisions to the plan if necessary. The recommendations within the plan gulds the development of Impiemontation tools, As these look are produced, this will be updated and amended where new Implementation priorities or tools are recommended, B. OMPREHENSiVE PLAN AMENDMENTS The comprehensive plan amendment process Is a new tool to track the viability of the comprehensive plan and allow the city to review potential amendments to the plan, whether the amendment is viable or not. The process is established to protect the plan from misuse, keep the plan a living document, protect the will of our citizenry, and potentially allow change to the comprehensive plan where the viability or that proposed amendment meets the Intent of the plan. The amendment process will be part of the zone change process within the development regulations. An amendment to the comprehensive plan will require public review and City ftll~ Council approval prior to any zone change action. In this way, the city can track changes to the comprehensive plan and note potential problem areas or areas of the plan that may need to be c+ho ma ors KwcrunrKranrwoaDAP"NtbMt4lwa~oncow+w rWex Pogo 142 Cr , t U 1 ftvlsed Sectlon 21 t i amended by the city.

Morgan Terry Morgan & Associates it Date: November 2, 1999 E Re: Comprehensive Plan Review Staff Meeting in preparation for the staff meeting on 11.3-99,1 have the following observations on the plan, some of which raise questions about what is at issue, The analysis is based upon the October 26 draft (version 3), with some amendments prepared by Councilman Cochran. The issues presented should be discussed when we meet with the staff on Wednesday. If you have 1 questions, please let me know. Part L Plan Format and Implementation Measures A. Orientation I General structure a plan sections, It appears from the revised plan that each section is introduced with "policies" that are quite general. (The exceptions are the "fact" sections, vtr., secs. I & 2, which contain none; the implementation section, sec. 21 and, for unknown reasons, section 16 "t1,e Street."). The policies are followed (somewhat inconsistently) by (sometimes) speci6e strategies, planning principles, and-usually under specific sub•beadings-goals and strategies. Section 3 on growth management, for example, contains all of these designations. By way of contrast, section 4 on Housing eonlalns no ap"c strategies following the policies, nor planning principles, but identifies "issues" and concludes with general goals and nd tee strategies. as Succeeding sections S through 13 state policies, Immediately followed by gsale a under subheadings. Section 14 on urban design returns to policies, followed by ptawdng principles, then goals and strategies under sub-headings. Section 1S, historic preservation, returns to the simplified format of policies (brie[), followed by goals and strategies. As noted above, section 16 contains none of the above, Section 17, the edge, has both general and specific policies, followed by strategies (no goals). Section 18, schools, begins with a statement of school siting guidelines, which are not identified as policies, followed by policies and the familiar gesls { and strategies under sub-headings. Sections 19 and 20 follow the simplified format. I EXHIBIT C I a i K- / 2. 1-01Cymen111600 section. ~I Section 21, implenuxnation, has no introduction whatever, but ls contained in chart format entitled "recommendations" under headings that conwpond to the following section headings: land use, economic diversification, transportation. water services, wastewater services. storm drainage, solid waste, parks and open space. evviramneatai management, urban deiV4 historic preservation, the street, schools and maintenance and enforcement. This covers moat of the for each section describes the recommend Con, of other Items for which the Implementation actionIs no tod. . the resPonsVe agency and a schedule and budget. It is unclear on first reading f}om where the statement of the recommendations and implementation actions are derived, Le, from policies, goals, strategles, etc? On closer Inspection. the "recommendations"apparently correspond variously to all of these ciusiftwons Thus under "Land Use" (addressing sections 3 and 4), the "recommendationO correspond neither to he fact, stated policies nor to the specific stategies listed under "growth managemea ( p• ) for section 3,1 could determine the origin of the recommendations only for the "commercial" and "industrial" land use categories, where the stated recommendstlons derive from the headings accompanying the goals and strategies on pp. 22-23, and 27.28 of the plan respectively. For the housing section (sec. 4), the recommandstioas again track the headings accompanying the goals and strategies on pp. 4142 of the plan. For other sections, on first Inspection, I could not determine the origin of the recommendations for economic diversification (sec, 5) or transportation (W. 6) (the closest correspondence appears to be with the policies stated at the beginning of the section). For public facilities sections and historic preservation, it appears that the recommendation roughly cif the corresponds to the statement of goals in text of owl section. I could not discern the origin recommendations for urban design (no, 14), the edge (sea 17), or schools (Sec. IS). Because of the difficult in ldenthW& the source of the recommendadof% I have not analyud the implementation actions to determine their source. Presumably, they derive from the strategies attached to the gods, at least for those sections where the recommendations parallel the ! statements of the gods. ! B. Analysis of Format and Implementation Issues. The organization of the draft plan raises some important leans roughly clustered around the concept of plan implementation The following andysb is intended to fi odWe Implementation of the plan by pointing out changed or additions that win rid fixture rata"rotation. The first comment Is directed to the A-ndameotd question, what Is to be Implemented. A r logically prior question Is how does one get from the various typed of plsn statements In the ' policies, goals and strategies to the implementation of either the policies, the goals or something l t'. ~ < 2 1 I e I ' also. How ere the various statements related to one scathed Do polities have priority over goals. Do goals reAoe policies? Onoe these questions ate answered and a consisted format developed, then it should be possible to surnmorim the hnplenredation actions recommended in the implementation section of the plan The introductory chapter contdoa a std=-w of purpose and a more specift"Vislon land use statement"for the community. The tact under the statement of purpose state: The plan is intented u a guide to laad-use dacWon mating by public ot3iciafa, residents and potential property owners." One of the enumerated purposes to follow is that: Otha plan will be implemented by adopting zoning and lend development regulatlotu" Other than thine statements, nothing appears In section 1 to explain how the plan is organized to f wltate hnplememtation. This section should (t) explain the geneal Format of the putt, both the organization into different sections and the internal organization of each section; (1) dif7brentiate between policies, goals and strateglm and deuce the significaace and later-relationship of each, and (3) give a general indication of how the plan will be Implemented, referencing the implementation section. While the labels attached to the statements In the ptsn""polities," "goals" or "stretegleO-are in themselves unimportant, what is to be implemented must be stated with precision, Right now, the adopting ordinance only refers to Implementation of "policies," which certainly is less than all of which is to be Implemented through the development code he other a be measures to follow the plan. Consequently, it will be necessity to lhcus on exactly Implemented and how. One suggested method is to substitute for the term "it. ,,=tndstion" In the implementation section either the statement of the policy or goal, u may be Intended, that is to be ue implemented. The recommended action might then derivedi b e asfrom the sisted if the strategies was discussed under tub goal In the text. The organization identified with specific sections of the plan. While I realize that reformatting the plan does not shears implementation ofthe ms to substantive matte's contained in the plan, it should assist the City In detemrWng truly goals to t assure that each reflec the objective" (to use tthe erms no contained In the plan) obe k served. G Once the Implementation matrix Is crested, as suggested above, the remaining sections of the implementat:on section can be rued to Integrate some of the action Qtly mltipllee objectives. Thus, there maybe a discussion of the principles that guid comprehen revisions to the land development regulations (see proposed subsection V) based upon the anticipated Implementation measure In the chart. One 13nal note: the format comeldstations addressed above, u they bear on r . { 3 ` I I C• c, I I t i Implementation, also should be applied to this doomem b that baw been adopted Prla to the curtest drab, e.g., Growth Manspowid Plan and Strategy, sod *Uch are to be iooorportlt d by retbrence In the adopting ordinance (see section III t wwO. In this regud, I do not bave a bmd use plan map. I recall that the Growth Managemeat Plea oodalbOd Rich a document It wed! be important to relate the map to the poudo in the text of the"plan. To a nwre substantive win, the Plea should spelidany act*&W any Werim land use regu' as that may be adopted to address deaslty, actions on developmact propode, etc. whu the fogy implementation mumm are being developed.

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 document is produced to address area ( 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 rtati frsm work of recommendations on future land use, transportation, ( stakeholders in a specific area, a e ~ ~ or4 and public improvements are formulated. This framework will assist decision-makers In making { decisions and will guide the case-by-case development of an area. A small area plan may be for a neighborhood, a 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 citiznut. 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 atrengths 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 commissions. The development of small ( area plans allows the public an opportunity to become better educated abwt the planning process. ( Because small sea planning Is an inierdiscipl"y approach to planning, it also relies on the ( cooperation of all city of Denton departments and other governmental entities. However, the success t of any small area plan depends on the involvement of residernts, business owners, landowners and other stakeholders. Rejer to Figure 1, p 1. t , Project Goals and Objeedves There are a number of goals and objectives for the rmall area planning process. The goals and objectives relate to the planning process and not the actual plan. They Are; ( • Assist residents and businesses in developing priorities and stratetoes to stimulate revitalization and reinvestment in the area t a Involve citizens in a community planning process that foster active participation and leadership • Present existing conditions and trends to provide a picture of the planning area a Identify strengths and concerns of residents, merchan,s and other stakeholders within the area • Enable stakeholders to share ideas and suggestions abut tt,eir co rununity a Promote understanding of the process and enthusiasm for further participation in later stages of problem solving and plan Implementation r l ( i t, I II FIGURE 1: FRY STREET SMALL AREA PLAN PLANNING PROCESS RyRrect Shall Area Plan c !

The comprehensive plan sets a ( 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 l 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 patrons, property owners, visitors and business people shared their evenings and afternoons to help 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 it determination to pursue goals and visions established by and for the Fry Street study area. The goals lay the foundation for t achleving the kind of community this plan envisions. This plan contains 19 goal statements, which deal with solid waste services, transportation, safety, community aesthetics and character, culture and ( the neigaborhood. Theae goal statements Identify what the community wants to achieve. Because gonls 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 :gas been assigned responsibility and is identified in the implementation section of this document. i 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 positively affect its sustainability. r This plan includes: • A brief history of the Fry Street area's development • A review of existing conditions in the Fry Street area • Recommendations to facilitate area improvements • An "action plan" identifying specific prefects 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 Nntou citizens is critical. All Denton residents must know that the concerns and issues addressed in this plan are not solely eoncents and problems of the Fry Street area, separable from the rest of Denton. They are everyone's concern. The Fry Street plan is designed to provide realistic and feasible recommendations for the revitalization of the area. However, to be realistic, the plan recognizes the limitations of public financing resources utd the need for new partnerships between public agencies and the community, in which the community takes a A, greater responsibility for its revitalization. l' r r ( 3 ( 1 11, AREA BOUNDARIES AND OVERVIEW { Location The initial stage of the plan's development involved a survey created by the Small Area Planning staff that asked merchants, residents, property owners and customers to identify the Fry Street study area boundary. The results of the boundary survey indicated that the Fry Street Development Corporation's boundary would be the plan's study area. Staff agreed that a larger area covering Census Tracts 297 and 210, both block groups 1 and 2 would be designated as the area impacted by the small area plan recommendations. This impact area is also the notification area and includes the Oa"ickory Historic District and UNT. Refer to Figure 2-4, M 4-6. i For purposes of this study, the Fry Street planning area is defined as the area bounded by Welch Stred 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 'A mile from downtown Denton, ( } Texas and this area contains approximately 12.42 acres. Geographically, the terrain of the plan area slopes to the southeast to Garry-Little Elm Reservoir. Refer to Fkxre 4, pg. 6.

N Fry Street Study Area r npinNrl 6 7►uMpoldtlOn 3.L 10 010 !w1 1~Y C c ( 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 Normal 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 east. ( There were nearly 185 students attending at this time. ( Residential development in the Fry Street arcs (mainly Oak and Hickory Streets) is significant to Denton's history and was impacted by the University of North Texas campus. The fast major ( residential area of Denton is believed to have been south of the square. The second, during the 188016 ( 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 Strom area. A few elaborate houses and churches existed in the area, however by the 1900s and after, the most attractive new residential area, which included the more elaborate houses In Denton, was weal of the square and around the Fry Street area. Another influence on the attractive residential development of this area was the Denton Fair Association, which was P; ganized on May 16, 1895. The Fair Association acquired a tract of land for the fair grounds which occupied roughly the area between Welch Street and Avenue A and extended ( southward from West Hickory Street to Mill Street. There were almost no homes weal and south of ( the fair grounds before 1900. After 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 Strata had become the favorite area for ( tine palatial homes and soon thereafter had more residences than the older parts of the town. This area i of posh homes along West Oak and Hickory Streets is referred to as the Oak-Hickory Historic District. t While influencing upscale residential development in the area surrounding the college and west of the r square, lrNT'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 Stred area were torn 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 order to meet this demand, business houses for college trade were established along Avenue A and Hickory Streets in what would later be referred to as the Fry Street Area This area consisted mostly of commercial development between Oak and Hickory from Welch to Avenue C, and intensive, privately owned, student apartment developments. Today, the Fry Street area is primarily commercial, r , ~ 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. Voertman's and the Eagle Drugstore, located near the comer of Avenue A and Hickory were popular student hangouts in the 1940s. Today, f ( ( 7 G t E Voerlnnan's is a well-established comtnrcial anchor operating in the area as a college f ' hookstorc. Undeveloped lots were . .

EXISTING CONDITIONS ; t IMPACT AREA Demographics and Socioeconomic Profile ' With any planning 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 1 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 (SMSA) block numbering areas (BNA), and census tracts group census data. Census tract data is fwther aggregated to a block group level. The Fry Street study area is located west of downtown Denton and is partially located in Census Tract G 207, block group 2 and Census Tract I10, block group 1. Since block group data Is the most aggregated data available from the Bureau of Census Enumeration, a demographic socioeconomic profile of just the Fry Street study area is not possible. , a profile Impact area is possible. The impact area includes block However, a p of the .ter to Figure d GPs I and 2 from both Cesare Tract 207 and Census Tract 210. Re pg. S.

Demographic and socio-economic information presented in this plan only includes selected 1990 block group data and as i tool for comparison, 1990 City of Denton census statistics are also provided. Retlerto Table i ( , pg. !I. i Population Population is constantly changing and statistics covering a spot of 10 years are not generally up to date, especially in the latter pan of the decade. However, the impact area has been mostly a college area since the 70's and while students tend to be transitional to this area, same that the demographic composition and makeup of the student population remains rela reasonably vely the same argued The composition of the impact area mirrors the City's ~n~~ make. In 1l940a6tively the population totaled 6,201. The majority of the population ' the impact area hi ages of 18.34 (84,5°0).

The unemployment rate for the entire City of Denton in 1990 was 6.16,16. t i FRY STREET STUDY AREA Land Use t The pattern of land use in the Fry Street study area is an array that resembles older parts of many cities. It contains bout non-residential and residential development that is an eclectic mix of homes, t businesses and services. Refer to Figure S, pg. 13. l The Fry Street study area's residential population is comprised mostly of tenants and renters, with only l one owner-occupied home remaining. The Fry Street area's residential development consists t 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 r immediately outside the Fry Street study area in the area identified as the impact area. The majorityof the multi-family dwellings in the Fry Street and surrounding areas were originally built as single- family owner-occupied homes. However, many of them are currently leased. The Oak-Hickory historic district is immediately east of the Fry Street study area and the University of North Texas campus is immediately south. Most of the Fry Street area is composed of non-residential, commercial development. Commercial/retail uses in the Fry Street area are directed towards the University market and include uses such as bookstores, restaurants bars, and general merchandiselservice retail (barber shops, dry cleaners, eta). There is relatively little office development within the Fry Street area. The existing office uses (First State Bank and The Associates) co-exist with retail and can be considered another form of retail 'commercial use. Institutional uses fall within the study and impact areas and are affiliated with religious organizations 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 and is currently owned by the Delta Lodge organization. The previous structure, occupied by ( A, „ Delta Lodge members, burned several years ago. At the time of this report, there t are four vacant businesses and one vacant residential dwelling. The vacant buildings are located at 103 Welch, 105 Welch, I I 1 Welch and 1109 W. Oak. The vacant residential dwelling is being used as storage for the auto repair station located on the corner of Hickory and Welch. 12 - - - - ' - OAK 171, r rs r HICKORY - I 7 SFiSF R ~t IT ~l I ~ IIFF~~ggq - - - _ _ - _ MULBERRY _ Mt~LBERR !'I) S;reer Study Area Exisling Land Use Map A Lopmd vto" loa~1'•en 015 JV.Y:its a.v_rauw G:1 tew•r..

Zoning The Fry Street study area's pattern of land use development is not necessarily representative of its t zoning pattern. There are four zoning districts in the Fry Stmt area that cover both residential and t non-residential development. Refer to Figure 6, pg. JS. f MF-2/Multi-Family Res;dential - The MF-2 district is located in the southeastern corner of the Fry Street area at Mulbeny and Welch Streets. This district contains thm lots, which includes one multi- unit residential dwelling and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The University of North { Texas campus, which falls in the impact area, also falls in the MF-2 District. The MF-2 District also allows certain educational, institutional and special uses. S t N&Neighborhood Service - The NS district is immediately north of the NF-2 district at the southwest comer 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 muld-family t dwelling and a four unit multi-family dwelling. The NS zoning on these properties was meant to i provide an adequate transition between the existing retail uses on Hickory and the properties to the t south and east. Originally, the request to change the zoning to NS was to accommodate an antique shop in the single-family dwelling. The antique shop was never loc+tted in the NS district. { P/Parking - The P district Is located in the southern block of the Fry Street ou and is directly i adjacent to the NF-2 district. The lot was originally zoned MF-1, but in 1%9 the property was { 1 rezoned to P. Research of the zoning case his not produced sufficient information explaining why the property was rezoned to P. At present, there is it multi-unit residential dwelling occupying the property. t I GR/General 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 majority of the area is developed with business uses. Building and Development Activity The normal process of continuous investment, to maintain the strength of the area's neighborhoods, has been constrained and limited in much of this area for a number of yeah. There appears to be a backlog of deferred maintenance, both private and public. Restored investment is needed. Since the area is essentially land locked, vacant buildings and undeveloped land are few and parking is very limited, growth and expansion are contained. There are no large tracts of land to be developed, urban t services already exist. Investment opportunity in this area is mostly for rouse of land or buildings and A. in a few cases for redevelopment. The recent repaving of one of the two public off-street parking lots < in the area t r; 14 i ~lkj!'~S ..bb ,i R ,j dd 4 ~ r y4 c~ r I SF•7+, MF•2 NS RFky 1. i.'

Street and utility work and other capital infrastructure t im estment, public'private redevelopment ventures, renewed UNT interest in its community setting, and community 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, stimulate site and building cleanup and prompt restoration work for existing { uses. i I Parking j 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 t ' 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 of -street parking by leasing parking spaces on adjacent properties. A review of previous requests by business and property owners in this area for variances from parking regulations reveals the site-specific parking problems that have arisen because the Fry Street area has developed as a businesslcustomer retail area adjacent to the University of North Texas. j Dating back to the early 1970s, there are thirteen (13) varirnce requests within the Fry Street area in ( I the Zoning Board of Adjustments (ZBA) files. Eight (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 t reconsidered and one contains no record of a 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 UNT, is an extremely congested area. Furthermore, most of the establishments in this area are not in compliance with the City's parking regulations because they are legally nonconforming uses. Off-street parking opportunities for existing or new businesses do not exist in the Fry Street area and on-street parking is limited during peak times. During the morning and noon hours, LINT 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•strect parking consists primarily of perpendicular and angled head-in metered spaces. There are approximately I06 metered on-street parking spaces. The metered on-street parking Is regulated for 1- 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 do have "No Parking" restrictions. Throughout the Fry Street area, there are over 400 parking spaces. { 7 ! A~ , Generally, off-street parking is dedicated and signed for private commercial/retail or residential development. Off-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 two privately { owned off-street parking lots are available for public use at a premium, offering a total of 214 off- } I6 ' c t t ( ( 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 leased to shop owners for customer use. There Is a ( charge per day depending on the time of day. Contract parking is also offered. There Is a 22-space lot ( for Teacher's World employees and residents of the multi-famrTy dwelling on Hickory Street. Other 4 parking lots include two 10-space lots in the front and back of Joe's Copies, a 45-space lot behind Vocriman'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 ofcommerc'ml ( customers or members of area churches. Towing Is strictly enforced In these areas.

AREA ISSUES AND FINDINGS IDENTIFIED t Citizen Participation Review In the winter and spring of 1998, 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 ntc.-cting set the tone on how the issues would be established and the necessary City resottrces available. As mentioned earlier in this report, part of the planning process involved a survey that { j asked merchants, residents, property owners and customers to identify the strengths { the Fry Street Area and to Identify the Fry Street study area boundwy. y Suretand concpme t Corporation's (FSDC) boundary, a non-profl merchant's association in the Fry StreetNally the plan's study area. Two separate surveys were designed, one for area residents, merchants and property C another for area customers. There were a total of 900 Surveys mai led and/or hand delivered a Of this total, 800 were resident/merchant surveys and 100 were customer surveys. A total of 55 surveys (6.11 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 (10%) were returned.

The lop concerns, three tied for fourth place, nre sanitation, parking, social offenses and safety, alcohol and drugs, property maintenance and traffic. The top strengths are safety, diversity, amenities, proximity, retail/service acid cultural identity. Round table discussions with area stakeholders were held to discuss the concerns and strengths. The community meetings served to gather information about the "health status" of the community. Residents and business people discussed facts and perceptions oreommunity conditions. thew insights proved vital in developing strategies to revitalize the Fry Street area. Doting the discussions, common themes became apparent.

Among the most fr equent items noted by residents we physical appearance and condition of facilities and streets in the area. Profound blight Is absent from the Fry Street area. This is not an ants of desperate deterioration, but one of stubbom and persistent pride. There are, however, many examples of unappealing physical conditions In the Fry Street oars { surrounding vicinity, including boarded up sbmchues, graffiti, litter, furniture In yards and poor { dumpster maintenance, Many of the mating participants believe that neighborhood cleanup, stronger code enforcement and better tenant screening are &Wow needed for positive change in the area. Odw issues include traffic hazards, street lights for security in addition to traffic movement, sidewalk repairs and protection of naturel and cultural resources. Reforgo Fldrrre 10, pg. 21 Social conditions include concerns of crime, delivery of social services and oommibnent of community resources. Better control of vandalism, public intoxication and drug canes were high on the list of public concerns, with the participants assigning a high priority to entro control. Many sm residents at sensitive about widespread perceptions of the community As one of crime, transience and disinvestment. There is widespread belief that future investments will be euppreased by such eti Suggestions include increased police presance end groater sensitivity in police-community relations. A few area staksinolders called also for a need for neighborhood-orientod private Inveabaent and for development of the vacant lot at Fry and Oak Strata. { . A significant finding during the entire small area planning process was the lack ofcomrovniatiori { among individuals, groups and agencies.

The solid waste containers are nol shielded from street view which Is not only a heahh Issue when they are over filled, but can cause tra0k problems by decreasing visibility. Pedestrians often have to go around dumpsters on the sidewalks. , Alftiugh solid waste users determine the collection schedule, the infrequency of the dumpster colkrtlnn concerns area stakehwklem.

The problem orstudcnts parking in m rchant-custonxr spaces during the day, ik lack of handicap parking, and metered parking all top the list or parking concerns. Parking in the area is furtier aggravatcd by the I-hour meter = + limits. ]'he I-hour mclers appeal to many LINT { students who would rather park closer to classmoms than in designated UNT parking lbeiliOws. Often, UNT facllhies are mom esperrive a xl are more removed from classes and tlk campus than the metered and non-metered spaces. City enforcement of the meters is limited and students are very much aware oI'this. In neuty cases students have been observed parking t. in in tend spaces well in cxass orthe 1-hour ( J limit withoul being lined. r, aprws wi r«„er r r,r✓;!: r;ti;: F,9y 4 ( 1 I landicap parking is limited in the area. There are a total of two handicap-parking spaces. Both of these spaces are located in front of the businesses on Ave. A. The spaces, while identified as handicap, are not very mareuvcrab4e and movement in and out of these spaces is difficult am] restrictive, I In additkin to parking problems associated with UNT students, according to some merchants, the City's t i present parking requirements prevent the expansion orexisting businesses, Parking requirements also inhibit many opportunities for new and different kinds of businesses to locate in the area. The City requires a specified number oroff-street parking spaces ror certain commercially zoned properties. Ira proposed new use is more intensive than the existing legally non-conforming use, additional parking is r required. liowever, as mentioned earlier, off-streci parking opportunities simply do not exist in the Fry Strcel area. Refer ro F7gures 7A g, M IS & 19. In addition, stakeholders indicated that the need for designated traffic areas, including bicycle corridors, and the proliferation ordelivcry trucks blocking streets In the area are key traffic concerns. The narrow ( rr A tratlie lanes on Pry St/Ave. A are the most visible concerns regarding traffic. Traffic conges4ion in this t;. area includes large akohol delivery trucks blocking trade Lim at pr ak circulation periods, automobiles entering and exiting the angled metered parking spaces (this parking strip is best I 30 J U r . lr yt,Y i"pp,..,J a .d ~✓.aCS~~r.. suited to serve traffic flowing f r ( northbound), and jaywalking to and " ( rrom the UNT campus. The distinction bctw.rn pctksirian and ' P I ( automobile ?,ones is kss apparent In this area and makes ror a dangerous f' ( environment. Increased spreading along Ilickory, Ave. A and Fry Streets also µ { contributes to traffic congestion in { the area. The lack of warnings or w a a other visual Endicalors to ak%rt + 31 { molorists that the area is highly ( pedtsirian-oriented is also a •o - ( rvrceivod Ira Ilk concern. 7 a Sidewalks In the area are not user-rricndly. ( Many of the sidewalks are cracking and are a uneven. Handicap accessibility is Inadequate and is further impeded by the poorly maintained sidewalks. People are also ( spending more time on the sidewalks 5 ( y fraternizing, relaxing, entertaining and ' lingering aimlessly than is considemd v ra desirable. r s„ Parking and traffic strategies Include or, way ( • " 3~ designation of some key two-way streets, the titration of loading zones limiting parking, t , Y ,T • na r.•<rwaarr' requiring parking permits for all UNT students, parking var'ianccs and limited parking inside the Fry Simi area. Increased communkalion i and inter"actkrn with f1N'f is crucial. l r 3l r 'I c> . t! Social OffrnsevSafuy { Ig~ues: i. l Loitering Vagrancy/Panhandling ( 7 Vandalism Juvenile delinquency Attraction of "bad crowd" element Increased protection against crime l Stakeholder Sentimerds: , As observations of the area indicate, the Fry Street area is not only a "hangout" 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 specifically 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. ( 1 According to Denton police,juvenile delinquency has seen a marked decline since the community office was located on Fry Street. However, there arc 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, them 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. Additional safety strategy recommendations include UNT police assistance with patrolling the area and a commitment by the City to provide additional lighting in dark condors. Alcohol and Drugs Issues: 1 Public drinkinglintoxication Underage drinking Illicit drug use and distribution Stakeholder Sentiments: 1 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 t ~ 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 ( t difficult to contrul because there is such a high demand for drugs, one of the objectives of the two r it , full-time officers that work the Fry Street area is to maintain continued pressure on the supply end. There have been occasional "stings" and drug busts. According to area Stakeholders, these activities must continue and must be increased. f ) 32 a u C c' ( 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 rtternorial in the Fry ( Street area of victims who have succumb to the detrimental effects of drug use and distribution and ( expanding the "taud service" concept offered by the owners of Cool Beans and Dicky Lou's. j Property Maintenance ( issues. ( Poor property maintenance ( Dilapidated buildings ( Stakeholder Sentiments: Graffiti and dilapidated structures are the mein issues related to property maintenance concern Upkeep by property owners and renters and communication between neighbors, tenants, merchants, etc. is severely lacking. Some renter-occupied ( asrs a[±asaan~ana~er.ai properties in the area are identified as not being ( particularly well maintained. Trash and debris F removal, painting and sonic structural repairs are needed to improve these properties. Poor property maintenance lessens the appeal of the Fry Street area and it also selves to reinforce the negative images and perceptions held by the Vin.. ~ . ( 3. lY...may ' ~y•.♦ general populace. In addition to residential dwellings, ( there are also a numbar of shops in the area that are in , s _l need of cleaning and painting. i r The undeveloped property owned by Delta Lodge on the . :t rrr`: I corner 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 and vagrancy. Stakeholders suggest the adoption of an "Ugly Spot Of The Month" and a "Most Beautiful Spot Of The Month" within the Fry Street study area to encourage better property maintenance and upkeep. I r Af f rJ •ttr~l 33 t• 1 I I 1 I ( ' ( I ( I ( society, to the eclectic, the student, the professional and even the elite, f:x people whu 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 ws,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 character of the Fry Street area during the day and ( the night. During the day, the area is a meeting place for 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 night, the Fry Street area transforms and becomes ( a large arena for partying and celebrating. It is a place 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 stakeholders, ways to address and improve on Citywide perceptions and reservations about the Fry Street image include keeping the community center open to serve as vt information center for visitors, fostering cultural diversity with additional music venues and artistic impressions ( and reinforcing that the Fry Street area is not just a night-time area. Ameniries/proxlmlo? tr n hs: ! Walkable Convenience of food, fun and relaxation Variety of shops, services and activities Short distance to UNT Campus ShopvStores for basic essentials within a few yards of each other Stakeholder Sentiments: 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 and 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 convenience in the Fry Street area is within walking distance. Fry Street denizens, college students and visitors are not forced to travel to outside of the area to shop, drink, and eat or for entertainment. Because there is a diverse mix of uses (businesses, housing and a state institution) in the Fry Street area, there is little need to rely so heavily on automobiles for daily needs. r 35 t.c+ i ~ I l ~I 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. I Recommended enhancements to the Fry Street area include passing a handbill ordinance to address the i posting of signs on telephone poles, more handicap accessibility along sidewalks, underground utilities, and landscaping along Ave. A. t i 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 wid thereby decrease the potential for accidents. Improving sidewalk conditions, making pedestrian crossings more visible by repainting or installing { flashing lights slung 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. Retail Semice Stren hs: Unique Local Stakeholder Sentiments: The Fry Street area is an artsbusiness district, which contains a cluster of unique and local shops. The area contains a menagerie of popular dance clubs, live music venues, bookstores, cafdhestaurants, hair salons, pool halls, tattoo shops, dry cleaners, a local convenience store, etc. 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 a ea have survived over the years due to the unique items sold, the locality and because the businesses provide consistent and affordable prices. Fry Street area clubs, bars and stores are 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 r various other patrons as well. Patronage of the Fry Street nightclub life is further aided by extended , alcohol sales hours. Entertainment seeker; are not forced to choose Dallas, Fort Worth and other (1 A0 r surrounding areas over Denton. Many of the college stakeholders indicate that the entertainment f l' atmosphere provided by the Fry Street area promotes safety and responsibility because people stay in (1 j Denton rather than traveling the dangerous interstates after a few drinks late at night. Popular musical r acts perform in the Fry Street area and are more than likely attracted to the area because the 36 a . E 0 C ( entertainment does not end too early. Cultural Idenft strengths: ( Sub-Culture ( Originality ( Freedom of Expression Eclectic Atmosphere/Environment ( Stakeholder Sentiments: A sub-cuitur: exists in the Fry Street area. While City-wide appreciation, understanding and support of this subculture 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 agree that ( this 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 nonjudgmental area where everyone is free to be himself or herself. With university ties, fringe appeal, afler•work and after-school attraction for students, professors and young professionals, the ambience and clientele changes constantly. Clubs, earthy businesses 1L-A t colorful regulars dot the Fry Street area canvass. It is the one area of town where a college party place with fraternity',ar gouts is successfully intertwined with tattooed, tie-dyed, new age and hippied sub. culture hangouts.

The necessary means to realize the goals identified 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 i 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.

Solutions will not come easily or quickly. Obstacles include deep-rooted skept!cism, limited resources available ( for remedial efforts and limited participation and interest by arcs resid mts. ( 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 North Texas (UNT) can initiate. These actions include solid waste services, parking and traffic circulation, f, property 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 sctions are based on detailed analyses provided by city staff. All of the actions correspond to one or more of the stakeholder strategies previously identifiyd. Where there is more ( than one option available, the preferred recommendation is identified by V . { ( ORGANIZATIONAL ( Recommended Actions: ( First, the plan recommends a public-private partnership between the City of Denton, the University of ( North Texas and the Fry Street Development Corporation. The City will be tix:.atalyst by initiating ( the Fry Street area improvements. Specifics of this recommendation are discussed under the Puking and Traffic recommendations, PT-14/PT-I S. { ( 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-4lPT-5 and PT-6. i LITTER, BEAUTIFICATION AND SOLID WASTE COLLECTION The most apparent actions involve solid waste services and include keeping trash, debris and glass l r containers out of the area, removal of the dumpsters off the streets and sidewalks to a centralized i location, screening of area containers and/or replacement of the dumpsten 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: ( Sk%'-Ib A "no glass" container ordinance for the Fry Street Area should be adopted to prevent and eliminate the proliferation of litter 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: / 0/1. SW-21SN'•3 The City Solid Waste Department will contact area merchants and property owners to { ( 41 I relocate the refuse containers to more centralized areas. Customers who are clustered together (by { blocky should agree to share solid waste containers and services to enable use of one or two S sr ategically placed single large units for a number of users. Generators would further benefit from c , on-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 t Department regarding this item is needed to determine service details and monthly collection rates, or t I 2. SW-4 Solid Waste will replace dumpsters with centrally located compactors. This is a strategy t that City Solid Waste representatives presented to area stakeholders. Use of compactors would t significantly reduce the number of pick-ups required since compaction allows the containment of more S trash. Solid waste 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%-1055: for all generators. Since the recommendation was first made, t the Solid Waste Department has re-evaluated this issue, finding that while compactors are designed to t hold more trash, minimize collection frequency and reduce the number of containers in the area, there { . are 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 service may result. Concrete reinforcement of driveways for the service trucks, { ) security lighting and electric utility connections to the compactors are additional costs. If centralized { compactors are selected, the Solid Waste Department will analyze creative financing strategies and alternatives to pay for the up-front coats and other associated coats. 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 are provided. Refer to Table 1, pg. The strategic grouping of the containers will reduce the number of containers in the area and will reduce the cost of service to many area merchants, but not every merchant. Refer to Figure 13, P8.47. Design, specifications and actual location of the containers (either dumpsters or compactors) will { include access points, concrete drives, concrete pads, revetments, security lighting, etc. and will need to be discussed and coordinated in greater detail with the City Solid Waste and Planning Departments, FSDC/FSPID, and UNT. Whichever option is chosen, the Solid Waste Department will provide up to $20,000 in fiutds, to cover part of the costs for screening revetments, a concrete drive and a concrete slab and apron for the containers to be placed on. This is above and beyond the basic solid waste services that the City r provides. Generators will be responsible for additional funding costs and future maintenance. ti Furthermore, if a consensus is reached reg-t ding centralized containers, implementation will occur on ( r r a block by block basis. Removal of grease refuse containers from the curb and right-of-way will also { t be required. Grease refuse containers may be located In revetments if separate access is provided. 1 f 1 However, the Solid Waste Department will not be responsible for providing service to grease refuse { t containers. (An increase in solid waste rates will result if Solid Waste has to clean revetments due to ~I 42 l i. f ( ( grease refuse.) L SW-7 UNT empty area trashcans in exchange for the authority to regulate the parking of vehicles on C public sirects 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 FSDC/FSPID. 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 ( enforcement, hang-lags that al low only area residents to park along residential streets are also recommended. ( SW-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-private partnership recommended earlier. The crcition of a special Fry Street Zoning Overlay District (PT-4 PT-5) and a Fry Street Public Improvement District (PT-6) is recommended. ( ( I. PT-4/PT-5 Create 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 remote off- s4e parking and loading requirements, transit and traffic operations; public improvements; and aesthetic regulations, including glass container and encampment restrictions and dumpster location requirements. The zoning district and regulations will only be applicable to the Fry Street area. Specific requirements related to parking and density include the following options: j a. Reduce the parking requirements for restaurants and ban in the Fry Street ores to one space for each 200 square feet of floor ores 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 into the area. In this scenario, existing business owners have two options. First, business owners can retain the current leases for parking, which allows for future expansion. The second option allows the business owner to cut costs by renrgotialing the parking leases and reducing the number of spaces leased. This option impacts parking availability in the two major parking lots as follows: .Lot south of itickoryirast of Ave. A- this option would make available between A. 7 and 43 spaces on this lot. r i -Lot north of Hickory/East of Fry Street- this option would make available approximately 50 spaces on this lot. 43 --I F c I ik 1 ~I II 1 I I II I TABLE 2; SOLID WASTE SERVICE, CENTRALIZED CONTAINER COMPARISONS OAK/FRWHICKORY (BLOCK Addrm Name Cortese Correal8ervle Proposed Dumpster Compactor Rate 9wmbalvea~nnydJma Cestralired Option OpdoaRaee• inpe1id 8ervie Raw 1•30yd'11x 1•Byd'I`x 1120 W.

Spaces could also be used for a limited amount of new construction. However, the Building Inspections i Division would review 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 t owners control the majority of the available par+tng in the Fry Street area It also does not address the problems with variances, illegally rn,n-conforming uses, and legally non-conforming uses. 1 I or I b. A Fry Street Zoning District is created (PT4/PT-5) and all parking requirements In the O Fry Street area will be eliminated and density requirements will be established. Density i, recommendation: Mowing guidelines and Floor to Area (FAR) minimums for new and existing construction will be developed. Anyone attempting to rezone properties outside i the established Fry Street Area boundary for purposes of expanding the district will be subject to dental by the Board of Zooing Appeals and the City Council. Any residential i property rezoned and converted for any use other than residential, will be required to ( f increase parking In the District at a ratio of one space for each 200 sq. ft. of floor area to i 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 for O redevelopment in the area. A Fry Street Zoning Overlay District will also eliminate the r",;.-ms with variances, illegally non-conforming uses, and legally non-conforming uses. Also, t by sating density restrictions, the likelihood of uncontrolled growth in the area is lessened. As is the case with the first option, the Building Inspections Division would review any new construction in the Fry Street area on a can by ease basis. ( E~ 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 goare footage of all businesses within the boundaries of the area to the total number of parking spaces ava labk In the area. The number of spaces required would be based on a ratio of out space for each 200 g. ft of I floor area for restsurant/bars and retail uses and one apace for each 300 sq. ft. of floor area for office uses. This option allows for the expansion of existing businesses and paves the way for new businesses to locate in ,he area. It also eliminates the current problems with illegally non-conforming uses and brgally non-conforming uses by making atl uses conforming. Also, by setting parking requirements based on certain uses, the likelihood of uncontrolled t growth in the area is lessened. This option also alleviates the problems associated with the fad that two property owners control the majority of the parking h. the area. As is the case with the A, first two options, the Building inspections Division would review any new construction in the r ! ' Fry Street area on a case by case basis. Also, in instances where new construction or the conversion of existing structures creates a need for additional parking spaces, the individual nr entity responsible for the increase will work together with the Fry Street District and the City to I r I so l` ( C ( ( ( seek more joint parking. l ( Current Zoning Use Breakdown or the Fry Street Area (Figures estimated using Are Explorer) ( Square footage Par king Required ( ( Restaurant/Bar 43,000 215 i ( Retail/Service 65,500 327 ( ( Office/Other 27,500 91 ( Residential 25,000 N/A Total Square Footage 161,000 Total Parking Required 633 l There are currently 600 parking spaces in the Fry Street area.

A PID is a tool, which allows a local government to levy and collect special i assessrr.ents on property to finance needed public improvements. Area property owners are assessed additional taxes based on property values for a specified period of time. The additional taxes are channeled to a Special 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 and expanding on the special character of a neighborhood; enhancing the identity and visual experience of a neighborhood and assuring the longevity and maintenance of aesthetic improvements. A preliminary assessment of the possible proceeds generated from a Fry Street PID (FSPID) indicates approximately 113,000-$4,000/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 Division will provide organizational assistance. However, It Is additionally recommended that over the next 34 years, the FSPID foods are offset with additional fund rating , r activities to raise at least 11115,000 per year. This averages $375 per year for each of the 40+ A businesses in the area. i r ~ c 51 u c~ it a l? In addition, building owners could also epee to require, of tenants anf le3sees, duos for services ~ and needed improvements in the area, UNT provide additional capital Investment assistance for street improvements in the Fry Street ( i area. PT-1 1/PT-15 The City Engineering and Transportation Department develop a traffic improNemeni plan for the Fry Street area. Reamfigure 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 t Avenue A is offset from Fry Street, change the existing configuration change to Include a pedestrian pavilion/mall. Also include sidewalk replacement and expansion; new angled head-in ( l parking; additional meter parking on Oak Street; additional handicap parking spaces, and new f ? loading zones. To initiate the recommended public-private partnership, the City program 5200,0004750,000 into the 2000 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget towards these t improvements. iFSDC, FSPID and UNT provide streetscape and landscape improvements in the area. Refer lo Figure 15, pg. 59. Additional one-way options an also identified. The "pros" and "bona" of each of these options ( 1 including the recommended option (option 3) Is explained in a cursury analysts on am following I pages. Refer to Table 3, pg. 54. Of the six options, the Engineering and Transportation Department would prefer either option one or three.

Implementation of these strategies and the remaining strategies and recommendations, which are mote long-term { 59 0 l Ilk t and require a greato detail of public-private cooperation, are presented In the Fry Street Small ( 1 Area Plan Zoning and Implementation Actions. Refer to Table I, pg. 61. 0 VI. CONCLUSION O The Fry Street area requires immediate attention. It is time for more action and less talk, time to transform renewed enthusiasm and energy 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 Q only lead to further deterioration and Instability In the Fry Street area. Improvements will be costly and will require a considerable financlal commitment not only from the City of Denton, 0 but the University of North Texas, The Fry Street Development Corpmdon, residents merchants, business and property owners in the Fry Street area. The distribution of the financial n commitment does not necessarily have to be equal, however it does have to be shared. All of Denton neighborhoods are interconnected and Interdependent. Harm to a part damages Q 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 L) coi,cerns 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, there can be no lasting gains, Self-reliance and personal initiative must playa much Fester role U than they have In the Past. ) U O (1 (1 r ~l 60 (t I t (((l ~ l t < < t 1 ~ r ~ r ~ ~ ~ C r(:~,r~t~i,(,~(~ (1(,,,(?i)I)I,tt1.)l)i i TABLE 4: FRY STREET SMALL AREA PLAN ZONING AND IMPLEMENTATION ACTIONS ORGANIZATIONAL Recousismaded Ac eas Pap om~r na■b or oefscl Prkdty oat m em■■h ■ Projoded eIN■htb■ Date Com do■ Dose -TV Establish public-private bwill omem a voaor partnership; dw Fry ltrm Ana by popu"InS s200,0MI230.000 m dw 20M CIP badaal Rw era Wk (100,000• mywveman. 11150,000 s Create special F Lonlaov CIF Fry d .rtr aleMn r,ta Street Zoning ~D eaaoodw aonlns rpulelon% District, ellmmw pgakems "hmenti In dwarea,detam1" apptoprleefond uws ad ae6M6h mWmum and m W mum no& Ara Rana (FAR) re arw and W alms twurro dom s Create ■ Fry Street •m cede to Rnrwv rpetal c y of °am° Cowco P1W5DC 6nprovomento ouch w sldewattu, 1'tannms A Cay Mk DI tats It pnerw w Public Improvement so"naandlwdocapmsand Drvampmed Oadnllyland tart Distri ct (PI D) under t ftLmwmmawo,medwtsand F9DCPoponyDwwn BWllana6uree l1dA00yrm the direction of the at" pro poly awmn(aute aMw Ecanamk Dawkonwa 2utla 01ovw t dw wbf•s 2000 2001-)M "Ruh$MoeAms0%aarse LNT Frail POW YaeRom Fry' Street proprgowmen)nadmoq IN Dehrtodae ToddKaauwd Ra~o6an Development yl and trAon utopwea Corporation FSDC row,udonaadmsIFySawMD.
