BACKGROUND Recently, the City has been approached by developers seeking to utilize Public Improvement Districts (PIDs) and Tax Increment Reinvestment Zones (TIRZs) as a financing mechanism for residential developments. A PID allows special assessments to be levied and collected in a defined area, and a TIRZ allows the incremental growth in property tax revenues to be split between a developer and the taxing authorities. As proposed, these instruments would be utilized to pay for infrastructure costs and greater amenity packages in these developments. The City first adopted PID guidelines in 2007, and they were amended in 2014. Per the guidelines, the use of a PID is intended to bring a unique, high quality desired product to the City of Denton that does not currently exist, or exists in a limited manner. While the City does not have a formal TIRZ policy, these instruments have been used only for projects that provide a significant economic impact to the community. Mr. Ocie Vest, with Stratford Land, is proposing to create a PID and TIRZ to assist with the development of the Cole Ranch project in southwest Denton. Mr. Vest has requested to meet with the City Council to discuss this development in more detail. A copy of Mr. Vest's PowerPoint presentation, and information regarding the Stratford Land development firm, is attached as Exhibit 1.

BACKGROUND On January 6, 2015, the City Council continued their consideration of this item to their next regular meeting. The City Council requested more time to review the proposed conditions and to give staff an opportunity to clarify some of the conditions. Some of the conditions were more of statements rather than conditions. The City Council requested that staff provide an explanation of how these conditions can be incorporated into the draft Plan. Refer to conditions 438 through 447 below. Staff added language (identified in blue), explaining how the subject conditions are proposed to be incorporated into the draft Plan. In addition, staff added condition 458 as a result of a City Council Mobility Committee meeting. On November 5, 2014, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing and recommended approval of the Denton Plan Update with conditions. Conditions 41 through 437 are amendments that are being proposed by staff for clarification purposes. These amendments were drafted after the draft Plan was distributed to the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council. They are considered minor and do not conflict with any proposed goal or policy outlined in the draft Plan. Refer to Exhibit 1 - Staff, Planning and Zoning Commission, and City Council Conditions. Conditions 438 through 446 are based on discussions held during multiple Planning and Zoning Commission workshops and work sessions. These conditions are what the Planning and Zoning Commission would like changed to the draft Plan and what they would like to see accomplished as part of the implementation. 38. Incorporate the National Association of City Transportation Officials ( NACTO) Urban Bikeway Design Guide in the update of the Mobility Plan. The NACTO Urban Bikeway Design Guide provides cities with design solutions that can help create complete streets that are safe and enjoyable for bicyclists. .Add tVie IMowing Action as 6,14,8- Incorporate Vie Nationa ociation cal`(" ty 'll°u:ansportation Oi`i`icia k (N (,'ll0) LJrb n Bikeway I)esign City of Denton Page 1 of 7 Printed on 1/29/2015 File #: CA1 1-0004e, Version: 1 G[iide in ffie [ipdate ol'ffie Mc: bdity Pgan, 39.

Revise the draft Action Plan by listing Council Committees, Commissions, Boards, and Citizen Committees as partners in coordinating or collaborating to implement actions that they have direct involvement with. After adoption, the Action Plan should be distributed to the various Commissions, Boards, and Committees so that they have this information to refer to. The Action Plan will be used when making decisions so that everyone is aligned with the same goals. 56. Add an action that provides a mechanism for community members to present new ideas. Add the following Action as 4.2.8: Create a mechanism for community members to present new ideas for celebrating Denton's sense of place or developing new community- driven projects by providing a streamlined and transparent process to propose projects to the City. 57.

McKinney St. Denton, Texas 76201 www.cityofdenton.com D EN'FON File #: ID 15 -082, Version: 1 Legislation Text Agenda Information Sheet DEPARTMENT: Parks and Recreation CM /ACM: John Cabrales, Jr. Date: February 3, 2015 SUBJECT Receive a report, hold a discussion, and give staff direction regarding a City sponsorship in an amount not to exceed $142,000 of in -kind services and resources for the Denton Arts and Jazz Festival to be held in Quakertown Park on April 24 - 26, 2015. BACKGROUND The Denton Arts and Jazz Festival is organized by the Denton Festival Foundation. Last year, the City Council authorized up to $123,000 of in -kind services and resources for the event, in addition, the Denton Festival Foundation received $82,820 in Hotel/Motel Occupancy Tax (HOT) funds. In 2015, the Denton Festival Foundation will receive $86,961 in HOT funds. The in -kind services and resources provided to Denton Festival Foundation include staff, equipment, supplies, and facilities. The City provided 959 hours of security and 921.5 hours of park maintenance support during the 2014 event; and the use of the Civic Center, Quakertown Park, and the Senior Center at no charge. The actual cost to support this event in 2014 was $140,503, which was $17,503 more than was authorized by Council (Exhibit 1). The increase in cost is due in part to the Denton Festival Foundation relocating the main stage from the south side of Quakertown Park to the north side of the park. This change in stage locations, and increased attendance, resulted in the Parks and Recreation staff working additional hours to clean both sides of the park simultaneously after the audience vacated the park. To support this three -day event at the current level, the 2015 cost will be approximately $142,000. The cost estimate is based on clear weather; if inclement weather occurs, the staffing and supply cost will increase dramatically as staff will need to purchase and lay down mulch in the park during the event. The Denton Arts and Jazz Festival is expected to have 260 vendors and estimates 225,000 people will attend the three -day event. The Legal Department has advised Parks and Recreation that only the City Council has the authority to give away City resources. All sponsorships where City facilities or City services are requested at a reduced rate, or for free, require Council approval. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends supporting the in -kind request up to $142,000. PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (Council, Boards, Commissions) City of Denton Page 1 of 2 Printed on 1/29/2015 File #: ID 15 -082, Version: 1 On April 1, 2014, the City Council authorized an agreement for the City's sponsorship in an amount not to exceed $123,000 under Ordinance No. 2014 -093. FISCAL INFORMATION In 2015, Denton Festival Foundation will receive $86,961 in Hotel/Motel Occupancy Tax (HOT) funds. The estimated cost to the City to provide the requested in -kind services and facilities is not to exceed $142,000. The total cost of in -kind services, facilities, and HOT Funds are $228,961 for which the City is recognized as a sponsor at the appropriate level. Including this event, in Fiscal Year 2014 -15, Council will have authorized a total of $297,808 in City support to three of the eight previously sponsored special events (Exhibit 2).

PRESENT: Mayor Pro Tem Engelbrecht, Council Member Gregory, Council Member Hawkins, Council Member Johnson, Council Member Roden, Council Member Ryan, and Mayor Watts. ABSENT: None. Citizen Comments on Consent Agenda Items There were no citizen comments on Consent Agenda items. 2. Requests for clarification of agenda items listed on the agenda for December 2, 2014. Council Member Gregory requested more information on consent agenda item G related to body cameras for the Police Department. Police Chief Lee Howell stated that they had explored body cameras for the officers. He stated that they had looked at a number of different products and recommended the one that they felt best served their needs. This contract would provide 80 cameras and be primarily worn by patrol officers, but might also be available to other units in the department and possibly Animal Services or Community Improvement Services officers. A review of a number of agencies that had this program in place had shown some good positive aspects of the camera program. The body camera did not capture everything that happened at a scene but it was one perspective that they did not have right now. He stated they had audio capabilities in some cases. They had in- car dash cams in most traffic stop cases. Gregory asked how they worked and how long the information was stored. Howell stated that the proposal was for a cloud -based storage capability on Evidence.com. They could set the parameters for how long everything was stored.

City of Denton City Council Minutes December 2, 2014 Page 2 3. Work Session Reports A. CA11 -0004c Receive a report, hold a discussion, and give staff direction regarding the update to the City of Denton's Comprehensive Plan. Ron Menguita, Development Review Committee Administrator, stated that this was the third work session regarding the Comprehensive Plan and he would present Elements 8, 9, and 10. Element 8 in the Community Vision Statement was Community Health, Safety, and Services. The character of Denton was safe and livable, a hospitable community of friends and neighbors. Denton's people, institutions, and government were both natives and newcomers and were deeply rooted in the community and actively engaged in its betterment through volunteer participation with faith - based, civic, and /or neighborhood organizations and service on local government and boards and commissions. Throughout Denton were parks, greenways, stream corridors, tree canopy and other natural resources integrating into the fabric of the community and contributing to healthy lifestyles. In the rural fringe areas of the City and the ETJ there were potential safety and compatibility impacts presented by hazardous activities, such as gas well drilling and production, mitigated to protect neighboring persons and property. Goal CHS -1 integrated planning for healthy communities and individuals into a comprehensive framework for Denton's future development which could be accomplished by establishing a comprehensive framework to promote healthy communities; enhancing public awareness for community health goals, and linking healthy community goals and policies throughout the Comprehensive Plan and to Denton's Sustainability Plan. Goal CHS -2 ensured that Denton's communities were protected from hazards and equipped for disaster preparedness which was achieved by ensuring effective disaster preparedness for natural and manmade disasters. Goal CHS -3 provided emergency services to keep the community safe and healthy and was achieved by ensuring adequate police services to protect the health and safety. Goal CHS -4 provided a variety of community programs that met the needs of key groups of need in Denton including youth, seniors, and the homeless which could be achieved by establishing a framework for the formation of programs to serve Denton's communities of need and proactively identifying and organizing volunteer opportunities within the city that would link Denton residents with opportunities to serve their fellow citizens. This Element included goals and policies for maintaining a safe and secure environment for Denton residents as well as an overall healthy population. Goals and policies focused on environmental justice, social services programming, community health, resiliency, and hazard mitigation, as well as emergency services. The Council discussed adding an action to assess services provided to community members most in need. The assessment would help determine a baseline account of what we had and what was needed. Element 9 in the Community Vision Statement was Infrastructure and Utilities. Denton was consciously green. Denton was a leader in commitment to sustainability and we had a significant tree canopy, a network of parks and greenways, stream corridors, and urban forests. In rural fringe areas of the city and the ETJ there was contiguous, staged growth which was fiscally and City of Denton City Council Minutes December 2, 2014 Page 3 environmentally sound, reduced fragmentation and sprawl, discouraged premature development, and conserved the city's future growing room. Throughout Denton there were infrastructure systems which had undergone well - planned, staged expansion to serve and guide the city's growth and environmental stewardship through water conservation, positive contributions to regional air quality, sustainable development practices, green infrastructure and renewable energy. Council discussed adding an action to aid in the development of green parking areas. Goal IU -1 provided safe, reliable, and cost - effective electric and communications utilities that applied environmental stewardship to operations and met future demands. Goal IU -2 secured and conserved raw water supplies to meet future needs with sustainable potable water infrastructure. Goal IU -3 protected surface water and groundwater from contamination from inadequately treated wastewater and expand wastewater system resource recovery. Goal N -4 protected water quality and maintained underground aquifers by managing stormwater at the watershed level. Goal IU -5 protected public and environmental health and conserved natural resources through waste minimization, materials reuse, and maximum material recovery; enhanced community appearance and control costs with efficient collection of solid waste and recycling. Element 10 in the Community Vision Statement was Implementation and Monitoring. This element directed how staff would implement the actions which achieved the policies which supported the goals of the plan. Implementation of the policies and actions consisting of four key components included: Principles to guide future development and decision making; procedures for amending, monitoring and updating progress; guidelines for small area planning and mixed use development; and an action plan — short -term, mid -term, long -term and ongoing actions. Following were the principles: Principle 1 — Plan Hierarchy — Consistency of all city plans with Denton Plan 2030. Policy reference for all subsequent plans — Mobility Plan, Capital Improvement Plan and Small Area Plans. Principle 2 — consistency of zoning and related development regulations and ordinances with Denton Plan 2030. Principle 3 — consistency of re- zonings and development approvals with Denton Plan 2030. The goals and policies in the Denton Plan 2030 should be used to evaluate all requests for rezoning and development proposals. Principle 4 — the City Council shall consider consistency with the Denton Plan 2030 as a factor in making decisions on proposed programs, projects and initiatives. Council Member Gregory asked about including metrics to measure the progress of implementing the goals of the Plan. Metrics should be reviewed by the department to make sure the goals of the Plan were being met. Menguita stated that the recommended actions to implement the Plan included the following. Planning — actions that involved additional planning or study to address specific issues. Regulation — actions that involved development of new regulations and revisions to the Development Code to include tools such as overlay districts, new zoning districts, etc. Program — actions that involved a series of steps to be carried out to accomplish an objective. Capital — actions that involved investments through the city's Capital Improvement Program, as well as potential funding mechanisms. Outreach — actions that involved outreach to the public and residents. Partnerships — actions that involved coordination or collaboration with one or more City of Denton City Council Minutes December 2, 2014 Page 4 entities to implement the action. The actions were assigned to one of four timeframes. The timeframes were: Short -term — these actions should be addressed within three years of Plan adoption. Mid -term — these actions should be addressed within a range of 3 -5 years from Plan adoption. Long -term — this included actions designated to be carried out beyond five or more years from adoption. Ongoing — these actions were currently being addressed or should be addressed on a continuing basis. Council Member Roden asked if something could be added to the Plan to explain and illustrate how the Strategic Plan would relate to the Denton Plan. Menguita stated that the Strategic Plan was developed in accordance with the City's vision, mission, and values statements and was consistent with the Denton Plan. The goals and objectives outlined in the Strategic Plan were intended to help achieve the community vision that was in the Community Vision Statement. Council Member Roden asked if it was possible for the action plan to have the Council Committees and Boards and Commissions listed as partners in coordinating or collaborating to implement actions that they have direct involvement with. The action plan would be used when making decisions so that everyone was aligned with the same goals. Menguita stated that the next steps would be for Council to hold a public hearing and an action item for approval of the Plan. Menguita stated that once the update of the Plan was approved, the final document would be prepared incorporating all the changes listed in the conditions. General consensus of the Council was to move forward with the plan. B. 14 -0770 Receive a report, hold a discussion, and give staff direction regarding the status of the 'Kings Row' electric substation expansion being part of the City of Denton's Capital Improvement Plan for its electric infrastructure. [ID S 14 -0007] Brian Daskam, DME Manager of External Affairs, updated the Council on the Kings Row substation project. He stated that this was a project to reconstruct the Kings Row Substation and was part of DME's capital improvement plan. The substation was being upgraded from 69kV to 138 W. The size of the existing Kings Row substation property was too small for the equipment needed for the upgrade and expansion of the substation would result in an unacceptable disruption to service. Multiple homes had also been built around the existing site. Daskam stated that the applicant was proposing to construct a 10 -foot decorative precast concrete security wall around the entire site as a mitigation measure to screen the proposed substation. Staff sent notices to property owners within 200 feet and 500 feet. He reviewed the public involvement process that began in 2011. Mayor Pro Tem Engelbrecht asked about the Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation. Daskam stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval subject to the following condition: a perimeter masonry screening wall should be constructed with a minimum City of Denton City Council Minutes December 2, 2014 Page 5 height of ten feet. The Development Review Committee also recommended approval of the request subject to the condition recommended by P &Z. He stated that it was the intent to decommission the existing equipment after completing construction of the proposed new substation. C. ID 14 -0813 Receive a report, hold a discussion, and give staff direction concerning proposed amendments to Ordinance 2014 -240 regarding a Specific Use Permit (SUP) granting a Wrecker Services and Impound Lots use on approximately 1.3 acres property zoned Employment Center Industrial (EC -I) to consider Akers Towing's request to modify the SUP conditions pertaining to fencing and the landscape buffer requirements. The discussion will include a report on the results of soil testing conducted by staff, to determine if contaminants are leaving the subject site. The subject property is generally located south of Smith Street, east of Dallas Drive, and north of Teasley Lane. Brian Lockley, Director of Planning and Development, stated that this request was to reconsider some conditions of approval granted for Akers Towing and their Specific Use Permit granting a Wrecker Services and Impound Lots use on approximately 1.3 acres. Lockley reviewed some of the background of the SUP. Back in August, the Council approved a Specific Use Permit to authorize operation of a wrecker services and impounds lots on the property with conditions. In September, the Council was contacted by the property owner to re- consider review of the SUP conditions specifically to amend condition 43 of the SUP pertaining to fence height and perimeter buffer. In September, staff met with the property owners on -site to discuss their concerns regarding construction of the fence. In October, the Council received an Informal Staff Report regarding an update of the status of the SUP. On October 31, the property owner officially emailed Planning staff to request a Council re- consideration of the SUP and associated conditions. On November 14, the Council received an Informal Staff Report on results of the testing conducted by staff. In approving the SUP, the Council imposed five conditions to guide operations of the SUP. 1. The site plan as submitted should guide the operation of the use of the property for wrecker services and impound lots. 2. Best management practices addressing storm water quality should not be required unless there was documented contamination. City Staff was directed to implement a monitoring program to determine whether any contamination was exiting the property and into the watershed. If City Staff documented such contamination, the Applicant should either: (1) install BMPs designed to treat hydrocarbons and attain the pollutant removal capabilities recommended for parking areas in the Integrated Storm Water Management Manual, as published by the North Central Texas Council of Governments, or similar practices consistent with low impact development approaches, so that the Applicant could be in compliance with the Denton Development Code's L(29) requirement; (2) or lose the SUP and cease doing business at the property. 3. The applicant should install an eight -foot high screening fence and a type B buffer along the perimeter of the site. The landscaping should be planted along the outside of the fence and should be irrigated and kept alive at all times. Material for the construction of the screening fence should be made of wood or other opaque materials. The applicant should construct the screening fence and type B buffer within 60 days after approval of the SUP. The screening and type B buffer should be maintained at all times for continual use of the property for wrecker services and impound lots. 5. The SUP should expire when the Applicant, Akers Towing Company, under ownership of the Akers family, ceases its business covered by this SUP. City of Denton City Council Minutes December 2, 2014 Page 6 Lockley showed Council photos of neighboring properties and some site photos. Lockley stated that what the applicant was requesting was re- consideration of condition 43 of the SUP - the perimeter fence. The height of the fence that was required was 8' tall. They were requesting that be reduced to six foot. A Type "B" buffer along the perimeter of the site was required. The applicant believed that the existing vegetation was adequate and sufficient to address the screening requirements that the Council wanted in the initial approval. Council Member Roden asked what the process was for Council to reconsider a decision it had made. Was there certain criteria that we had to have to justify that or could it be for any reason? Lockley stated that condition 42 of the SUP required city staff to implement a monitoring program to determine whether any contamination was exiting the site to nearby watershed. The results of the soil testing indicated contaminants were exiting the site. Staff was recommending that option 41 of the condition be exercised as adopted. General consensus of Council was that for staff to move forward as the ordinance was written and all the enforcement parameters that were in the ordinance. Lockley stated that staff would work with the applicant and give them a timeframe to install the BMPs. Burgess stated that the SUP could be revoked or modified after notice to the property owner and a hearing before the City Council for a reason that one or more of the conditions imposed by the permit had not been met or had been violated. D. ID 14 -0802 Receive a report, hold a discussion and give staff direction regarding the 2015 State Legislative Program of the City of Denton for the 84th Texas Legislature. Lindsey Baker, Intergovernmental Relations and Public Information Officer, stated that Council had asked for additional data regarding revenue sales tax issues at the November 18 Council meeting. The sales tax holiday represented three days in August. The State loses approximately $58 million during that 3 -day period every year. Cities across the board lose approximately $10- 11 million during that time every year. However, Denton loses about $58,000 each year during that 3 -day period. She stated that the other item related to a textbook sales tax holiday that the City would traditionally oppose. This would significantly impact the City's revenue stream based on the analysis that we used. The State would be looking at a loss of about $5 million. Denton would lose approximately $1.2 million in annual sales tax revenue. DCTA would lose approximately $400,000 in annual sales tax revenue. Council Member Roden stated that he had reservations about saying to his constituents that as a Council Member he was against tax relief for them - referring to the sales tax exemption on textbooks. Mayor Pro Tem Engelbrecht commented that basically the state was trying to do something for the students to the detriment of the community, which ultimately could affect the services that we as a city provided the students. Assistant City Manager John Cabrales stated that historically the bills that had been filed in the past addressed both state and local sales taxes. City of Denton City Council Minutes December 2, 2014 Page 7 Baker asked if Council wanted to keep the language in the program related to the sales tax items or remove them or amend them. Some council members felt that the local economy benefitted from the sales tax holiday. General consensus of Council was to remove the sales tax items out of the program. Council Member Gregory asked that legislation be drafted for vested rights as it related to the oil and gas industry to be included in the program. Council Member Roden asked if there was a way to put some space on the website relevant to gas well topics to put updates as legislation was proposed. Following the completion of the Work Session, the City Council convened in a Closed Meeting at 4:30 p.m. 1. Closed Meeting: A.

Tara Linn Hunter, 118 Bernard, asked that the City lobby to maintain the City's rights to regulate oil and gas well production. City of Denton City Council Minutes December 2, 2014 Page 12 Jorge Landivar, 165 N. Old Orchard Lane, Lewisville, stated that there was a mistake in the municipal code and that the City had banned something that the State prohibits the City from banning. He stated that the City could ban people from carrying certain weapons but that the City could not ban someone with a concealed handgun license. Michael Briggs, 2311 Houston Place, spoke in support of lobbying to increase home rule authority and to expand it to all cities and towns in Texas. Jeff McClung, 2018 Longmeadow Court, spoke in support of vested interests being added to the legislative agenda. Read King, 8901 Harvest Moon Trail, spoke regarding the section addressing legislation that restricted a City's ability to implement a photographic red light enforcement system. He stated that to make a safer community increase duration of yellow light interval. He requested that this item be removed from the legislative agenda. Todd Ellis, 3437 Crisoforo Drive, spoke in support of a municipality's rights to regulate oil and gas well production. Cindy Spoon, 2210 Westwood, asked that citizen input be part of the process for developing the legislative program in the future. She stated that she would like to see Denton lobby to decrease state subsidies for oil and gas and also for marijuana decriminalization. She stated that she would like to see lobbying to abolish the railroad commission and advocate for local control. Candice Bernd, 1018 Denton Street, spoke in support of renewable energy and clean energy jobs, felt attacks on collective bargaining seemed unnecessary, and lobby for a municipality's rights to regulate oil and gas well production. Cathy McMullen, 805 Ector, did not speak but wanted her comments read — Denton needed to lobby to maintain home rule municipality's rights to regulate oil and gas well production. Lindsey Baker, Intergovernmental Relations & Public Information Officer, stated that some changes had been made based on direction from Council during the Work Session. The Council had directed staff to remove two statements on page 15 that fell under Revenue and Taxation. Those were related to the sales tax holiday and also the potential for a textbook sales tax holiday. She also stated that Council Member Roden had asked about the success of previous bills that had been filed that were related to the textbook bills. Over the last three sessions, one bill was filed in each session and none of those times did the bill actually get out of committee. Baker stated that direction from Council related to drafting and introducing legislation related to vested rights and including it in the program. Baker stated that this program was developed by working in conjunction with the Council, other cities, Texas Municipal League, Denton Chamber of Commerce, UNT, TWU, DISD, United Way and other non - profits in the community to develop statements that were consistent with what our policies had been in the past and what we perceived might be taking place in the next legislative session that could negatively impact us. City of Denton City Council Minutes December 2, 2014 Page 13 Council Member Roden stated that this was discussed in work session but because of the comments tonight that revolved around the oil and gas provisions of this document and how we would lobby the legislature for certain home rule authority and the ability to regulate the oil and gas industry in our city, he wanted to clarify. We had mentioned it because some citizens had asked if it was possible to create a website where we could track specific types of legislation that had been introduced during the process and staff had indicated that they could do that. Baker confirmed that she would work with staff to make sure that information was available on the website. Roden asked for clarification regarding the statement about supporting legislation that protected the ability of governmental entities to maintain confidentiality of certain critical documents and activities and noted that was under the utilities section. He asked if that was because of competitive matters that dealt with business practices because we owned our own electric utility, that we have an interest in maintaining confidentiality on certain things. Baker confirmed that it was. Council Member Gregory asked if there was time sensitivity to this being approved today, would it interfere with our efforts in Austin if it was delayed a week or two. Baker stated the sooner it was approved, the better. Bills were being pre -filed right now; that started in November. She stated that we were already in a situation where they were seeing bills being filed that could be detrimental to the City. Although, we could make our position known based on what it had been in the past, we wouldn't have this policy document in place and approved. Gregory stated that we had more citizen concerns than we had seen before and he was looking at postponing approval until December 16. Council Member Johnson asked if delaying it two weeks would set us back in our work in Austin. Baker stated that it would not. The legislative session would begin January 13 and this document should be ready before then. Staff would also need to have adequate time to meet with the City's local delegation to discuss the agenda before the session began. Mayor Pro Tem Engelbrecht asked that this process be started sooner next time so there was additional time for public comment. Council Member Roden motioned, Council Member Hawkins seconded to postpone approval of this item until December 16, 2014.

S14-0007 Hold a public hearing and consider adoption of an ordinance providing a Specific Use Permit (SUP) to allow a "Basic Utility;" a Denton Municipal Electric (DME) electrical substation, on approximately 10.45 acres of land within a Neighborhood Residential 3 (NR -3) and a Neighborhood Residential 4 (NR -4) zoning district. The subject property is generally located at the northwest corner of Kings Row Drive and N. Loop 288, in the City of Denton, Denton County, Texas; and providing for a penalty in the maximum of $2,000.00 for violations thereof, severability, and an effective date (S14- 0007). The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval of this request with conditions (6 -1). Brian Lockley, Director of Planning and Development, stated that this was a request for a Specific Use Permit to allow for a DME substation on approximately 10.45 acres. The property was located on the northwest corner of Kings Row and N. Loop 288. The existing substation was approximately 1600 feet to the west of the proposed substation. Some of the surrounding uses were: to the north - Farm and Ranch Improvements, to the west - undeveloped, Single Family; to the south — Single Family, and to the east — Loop 288 / Farm and Ranch Improvements. The zoning map for this property was a combination of Neighborhood Residential (NR -3) and Neighborhood Residential (NR -4). The site plan that was being proposed showed the layout and some landscaping buffering. The substation site would be centrally located along the frontage of Loop 288. Access to the site was shown along Kings Row and 2 other locations. The following conditions were recommended. A perimeter masonry screening wall should be constructed with a minimum height of ten feet. The substation should be subject to the attached site plan and landscape plan. Upon construction of the N. Loop 288 "backage" road, the eastern driveway should be closed and moved to the location shown in the future site plan. Upon construction of the new driveway along N. Loop 288, a minimum ten feet high masonry wall should replace the existing gate opening and new tree and landscape plantings should be used to screen the wall. City of Denton City Council Minutes December 2, 2014 Page 15 Notification was sent to property owners within 200 feet of the property and to property owners within 500 feet of the property. Staff received five notices in opposition and one neutral. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval (6 -1) with the condition that a perimeter masonry screening wall should be constructed with a minimum height of ten feet. The Development Review Committee recommended approval with the four conditions mentioned earlier. Council Member Gregory asked about the landscape plan and what type of buffer this was. Lockley stated that in anticipation of the property to the west being developed, an ESA buffer was proposed which was more of a buffer than was typically required. Council Member Ryan asked if the landscape plan included any road dedication for the future widening of Kings Row. Lockley stated that the buffer accounted for the road dedication. The distance between the fence and Kings Row was approximately 40 feet. Council Member Hawkins asked which access point would go away. Lockley stated that the one to the west would go away. Hawkins asked how long construction would take. Lockley stated that construction should be completed within eight months. The Mayor opened the public hearing. The following individuals spoke during the public hearing. Christiana Harris, 3500 Cooper Branch West, spoke in opposition Russ Campbell, 2509 Quail Ridge Drive, spoke in opposition Linda Carrasco, 3705 Cooper Branch East, spoke in opposition Elicia Hilborn, 3513 Cooper Branch East, spoke in opposition Shelley Totter, 3701 Cooper Branch East, spoke in opposition Jeffery Totter, 3701 Cooper Branch East, spoke in opposition Council Member Gregory asked Mr. Todder if he or any of his neighbors attended any of the public meetings in 2011. Mr. Todder stated the letter they received in 2011 was related to the proposed routes for the transmission line. Peter Hilborn, 3513 Cooper Branch East, spoke in opposition Comment cards were received from the following individuals: Allison Leath, 2301 High Meadow, opposition Greg Hudy, 2205 High Meadow, opposition Jordon Cecil, 2512 Chaparral Court, opposition Feliciana Martinez, 2521 Quail Ridge Drive, opposition City of Denton City Council Minutes December 2, 2014 Page 16 Amber Hathcock, 2501 Chaparral Court, opposition Kristy Hathcock, 2501 Chaparral Court, opposition Susan Leath, 2301 High Meadow, opposition Joe Carrasco, 3705 Cooper Branch East, opposition Keely Briggs, 3108 Broken Bow, opposition Camille Hilborn, 3513 Cooper Branch East, opposition Caroline Hilborn, 3513 Cooper Branch East, opposition Riley Briggs, 3108 Broken Bow, opposition The Mayor closed the public hearing. Council Member Roden asked the applicant how planning substations with transmission lines worked. Phil Williams, General Manager of DME, stated that the Kings Row substation needed to be upgraded along with the transmission line that attached to it. This required a wider easement for routing the transmission line from Southeast Denton to Northeast Denton. Council Member Gregory confirmed that the City had purchase 10 acres. He stated that there was a perception that we were going to allow tree clearing. Phil Williams stated that the actual site was 3.8 acres. The ESA area was what was left. Council Member Gregory asked about notification and the methods used for notification for meetings on July 2011, August 2011 and October 2011. Brian Daskam, DME Manager of External Affairs, stated that they had sent out courtesy notices to everyone within 500 feet of any of the proposed routes and sites. Daskam stated that the methods used for notification included the U.S. mail, the City website, phones, social media, press releases, advertisements in the newspaper, and signs on the sites. Council Member Hawkins asked Daskam to review the gap in time from 2011 to 2014. Daskam stated that the main reason for the gap was that staff came before Council for site selection and then for site acquisition. A large amount of time was spent on property acquisitions. Council Member Johnson asked about the size of the proposed site and the existing Kings Row substation site. Williams stated that the existing Kings Row substation was 1.4 acres. Williams stated that the proposed location was as close to the existing substation as possible. It could not be moved further away because of eight distribution feeders and two transmission lines would have to be moved. Johnson asked if there were examples of other substations that were in close proximity of neighborhoods. City of Denton City Council Minutes December 2, 2014 Page 17 Williams stated that there was an existing substation on Teasley Lane. The Cooper Creek substation was built behind a neighborhood. Johnson asked if there was any data that would suggest negative property values or health issues. Williams stated that they had never received complaints related to substations. They had reviewed several studies and they could not find a correlation between this and negative health issues. Council Member Gregory motioned, Council Member Roden seconded to adopt the ordinance with all the conditions recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission. On roll call vote, Mayor Pro Tem Engelbrecht "aye ", Council Member Gregory "aye ", Council Member Hawkins "aye ", Council Member Johnson "aye ", Council Member Roden "aye ", Council Member Ryan "aye ", and Mayor Watts "aye ".

ID 14 -0764 Hold a public hearing and consider approval of a resolution approving a site for the reconstruction, expansion, and replacement of the Hickory Substation in the general area south of Scripture St., east of Bonnie Brae St., north of West Prairie St., and west of North Texas Blvd., in the City of Denton, Denton County, Texas. Brent Heath, Executive Manager for Electric Delivery, stated that the DME Capital Improvement Plan included a project to reconstruct the Hickory substation. The project included reconstruction of the existing Hickory substation to accommodate upgrades from a 69kV to 138kV substation, rerouting of transmission and distribution lines into the new substation, and retiring and removal of the equipment in the existing substation. Staff worked with engineering consultants and considered numerous substation sites with a goal to minimize the impact to citizens by keeping the new substation site as close to the existing site as possible to keep from having to impact more people with transmission line and distribution line relocations and not to displace residents from their homes if at all possible. Heath reviewed the options under consideration. The purple site was directly east of the existing substation and the only property that was vacant. It was east of Bonnie Brae and south of W. Oak Street. The orange option was east of Bonnie Brae and north of W. Oak Street and included several single- family residences and a commercial business. The green option was east of Bonnie Brae and south of W. Oak Street and included several existing multi - family complexes and an open site. The blue option was east of Bonnie Brae and south of W. Hickory Street and included existing multi - family complexes and an open site under construction. The yellow option was east of Bonnie Brae and south of Stella Street. Public involvement included an open house on September 30. The Public Utilities Board held a public hearing on November 10. DME used an online survey to receive input from citizens. They received 43 comment forms back with the survey results. The majority of the people preferred the yellow option. The least preferred option was the green option. They ranked the sites based on the number of people that would be displaced — from the purple option with 5 people to the green option with 88 people. They ranked the sites based on estimated acquisition costs — from the purple option being the least expensive to the green option being the most expensive. The Public Utilities Board recommended the purple site. The Public Utilities Board recommended a committee to advise on aesthetic treatment of the substation exterior. DME concurred with the PUB recommendations. The Mayor opened the public hearing. Lori Lott, stated she was the sister of John Lott, who was the owner of the property designated as the purple option. Mike Sherwood, 116 Bonnie Brae, does not oppose and not sure he supports — has rental property and wants to make sure he is kept in the loop. Michael Briggs, 2311 Houston Place, spoke in support Paul Metzler, 1914 W.

CITY SECRETARY CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS CITY OF DENTON CITY COUNCIL MINUTES December 9, 2014 After determining that a quorum was present, the City Council convened in a Work Session on Tuesday, December 9, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. in the Council Work Session Room at City Hall. PRESENT: Mayor Pro Tem Engelbrecht, Council Member Gregory, Council Member Hawkins, Council Member Johnson, Council Member Roden, Council Member Ryan, and Mayor Watts. ABSENT: None. Work Session Reports A. ID 14 -0804 Receive a report, hold a discussion, with staff and Red Development, and provide direction concerning development at Rayzor Ranch. City Manager Campbell stated that the original plan for Rayzor Ranch was approved in 2007 and since that time there had been a number of changes. This was a dynamic process and a project in the works. RED Development had presented to the City Council a vision of what the project was now. There was a need to be certain that the plan reflected the desires of the Council to continue to proceed with the project. Scott Wagner, RED Development, presented the details of updated project for the Town Center retail project with other land uses around it. He stated that the project had been broken up in different ways for several years. There was retail, medical/office, single and multi family and entertainment. The Market Place was the start of the project on the north side of University and was about 90% occupied. The time frame of 2004 -2007 was a large economic period of expansion and growth and tenants pushed to open as many stores as possible to meet Wall Street growth expectations. In 2008 -2011 the bottom fell out of the market which resulted in stalled or failed projects. There were incomplete and vacant projects, with retail and housing projects remaining flat. In 2012 -2014 there was an economic recovery period which provided new life into old projects. Banks were slowly turning out new loans with much stricter underwriting. Developers and owners must compete for tenants and schedules. The Overlay 2012 -158 specifically amended the prior master plans and guidelines to reflect current market and tenant demand. Flexibility was critical to attracting and retaining tenants. The consistent message across the tenant presence was critical to tenant objectives. Phased development was not only anticipated but required for strength of market and financing. He was requesting Council support on the unique and creative process of the proposed design by focusing on life - safety issues and allowing flexibility for aesthetic interpretations to be handled administratively. Jack O'Brien reviewed the overall master plan with a focus on the Town Center retail portion, pedestrian connectivity between the various land uses within the Town Center, architectural design, vision guidelines and resulting images. O'Brien reviewed other projects which his firm had completed similar to Rayzor Ranch. He reviewed the different types of retail such as convenience, neighborhood center, community center, town center, specialty center, mixed use, and power town. He noted that there were different types of shoppers such as a direct shopper, leisure shopper, lounger shopper, and prisoner shopper. City of Denton City Council Minutes December 9, 2014 Page 2 The original and current master plans were shown. Different types of retail would be contained in the Town Center. The pedestrian connectivity plan for the development was presented along with the Town Center Courtyard Plan. The design elements of the project were noted that included the rustic simple nature of Texas Hill County environment. Council Member Gregory felt that this presentation was not the same ones they had received in the past. The developer had been released from the old detailed master plan to a bubble plan with the south side of the development to be more upscale. At this meeting, the statement had been made that the south side would be consistent and complimentary to the north side. He was looking at the elevations in this power point to find elements to convince him that the materials and amount of materials was more upscale than the north side. O'Brien stated that the south side would be a much nicer design than the north. The project on the south would have more refined materials such as copper, painted redwood or some other type of wood along with some brick. Wagner stated that the Town Center was more refined with more glass and national tenants. Council Member Hawkins felt that this was comparing aesthetics with the projects but did not get that feeling for the south side project. O'Brien stated that there was a need to consider the ambiance rather than the visual presentations of the buildings such as the quality of lighting, and that the finishes of the buildings were not as important. The finishes would be more of a backdrop than the main features. Council Member Gregory stated that there was a certain amount of personal preference and style but when he looked at the original plan to current plan, one of the things he remembered that was said was that it was not just about the materials, that it was about the whole Town Center. The Town Center was to be a power center and it should look like a power center. The walkable pedestrian area was significantly smaller from the original plan. O'Brien stated that he was involved with the original design and felt that the original walkable area was too long for the average pedestrian. Council Member Gregory stated that the point he trying to make was when the plan moved from the detailed plan to the bubble plan, Council was assured that the high quality on the southern side would be maintained through the materials and not in the ambiance. O'Brien stated that the quality would be better than the development in Highland Village. Council Member Gregory stated that he was not interested in Highland Village. He was talking about the original agreement. Wagner stated that the distance was shorter today than the original project. He did not know what other portions of the project looked like. City of Denton City Council Minutes December 9, 2014 Page 3 Council Member Johnson stated that his firm had met with the original developer a long time ago to talk about leasing at the Town Center. As the City went through the project, there was a need to remember that there might not be that amount of business. This was a huge plan with so much land. At the end of day the developer needed to have a tenant and he felt it was unfair to compare the two drawings because the developers would not lease all of the property in the original drawings. He felt the building materials were significantly better than on the north side. Mayor Watts stated that the original design had not been around for a long time and was overpromised and not deliverable. The incentive was a performance based incentive and if the developer did not perform, they would not get their funding for infrastructure back. When he looked at the two versions, he felt the south side probably would not look like the north side. Different landscapes and light fixtures brought in quality. He felt the project would be consistent with the offered incentives. Council Member Gregory stated that he voted in favor of moving to the bubble plan and for more flexibility to the developer. He felt that from time to time when the developer came back for flexibility, what was asked for was concessions for quality. The south side was supposed to be significantly upscale and higher quality than the north side and not comparable and in tune with the north side. He questioned what kinds of amenities were going to be added to replace the scale going smaller and what other things would be done to make up for the smaller scale of the Center. Nothing had been said about what percentage of the building materials would be used as shown and he was not seeing a lot of the materials on the drawings. He questioned what the statement "consistent with the north" meant. Wagner stated that the Market Place was a unified project with similar components on the south side but added to it from the north side. There would be some consistence between the two areas but also some compliments. The areas along University would be similar but moving into the core, the development would became more upscale with more glass, lighting and open space. Council discussed the feel of the project and how it would be different/complimentary with the north project. Council Member Hawkins questioned that when the first leases were finished, what would be the presentation of the area so as to not lose its draw. Wagner stated that the style lent the store fronts of the tenant expression. As new tenants evolved, the fronts of the stores would be updated. Council Member Roden asked about the preparations for walkability in the development. Wagner reviewed the types of walkable areas in the project. Council Member Roden suggested that the plan be inviting for walking. He questioned the value of the inner parking and whether it would take away from walkability. O'Brien stated that the inner parking was known as "teaser parking" that gave shoppers the ability to park by the stores and go into the center of the development. If there was no teaser parking, there were percentages of people who would not go to the center of the development. City of Denton City Council Minutes December 9, 2014 Page 4 Council Member Ryan stated that he liked the new design with the shape of the green space to maintain good driving and walkability in the area. Council Member Gregory asked about the differences between the staff and the developer in terms of materials, etc. with the plans. City Manager Campbell stated that staff was in the process of reviewing the project. They would like to finish the review and come back to Council with a report. If what the developer was proposing and what the Council felt was appropriate, there might have to be changes to the ordinance or codes to implement what was being proposed. Council Member Gregory stated that he would like to hear from staff assurances that the materials maintain in the store fronts. He questioned if there were any percentages from staff for the design of the buildings which would assist the developer when bringing projects to the Council. City Manager Campbell stated that it would be helpful for staff to make sure the recommendations and development proceeded in terms of what Council was desiring. Mayor Pro Tem Engelbrecht stated that most of the photos showed multi -story buildings with mixed residential on the top. With this plan, the mixed use to the east would be looking at the backside of the life style center. He felt it was important to have people living in the development and asked if that type of view had been taken into account. Wagner stated that the multi - family was planned horizontally and centered around the green space. Mayor Pro Tem Engelbrecht stated that another feature he was concerned about was the water feature which was not in the center of the development. O'Brien stated that they were still working on the plans for the water feature but that there would be one in the development. Mayor Pro Tem Engelbrecht stated that the tenants would set the tone for the development. He had heard that a tenant was coming which advertised prices lower than Walmart. That did not set the tone he wanted for the south side. He also was nervous having flexibility for aesthetic interpretation. Wagner stated that they did take out some of the percentages out of the ordinances for "what if' scenarios in that area instead of "have to ". Flexibility was needed to be able to work with unique situations. They would like to work with staff instead of having everything detailed out in an ordinance. Council Member Roden stated that the grocery store possibly going in the development was a Winco which stated that they were the low cost leader. He questioned how that would fit into the overall project. City of Denton City Council Minutes December 9, 2014 Page 5 Wagner stated that was not a done deal and they were still going through the process with the City. Council Member Roden asked about the demographics on what type of people the store would be serving. The shoppers had to sack the own groceries similar to a Sack N Save. Wagner stated that type of demographics would have to come from the owners. They had talked with a dozen grocers over time. Mayor Watts stated that it made him nervous when talking about what kind of shopper and make that equal to quality. Across the street there was a Walmart and Sams. Just because the store claimed to be the low cost leader did not mean that there would not be high end shoppers at the store. Council Member Roden stated that if a Sack N Save were built there, he questioned what other type of quality shops would want to build next to such a store. Mayor Watts stated that there were a lot of assumptions in that type of analysis. He did not want to build the north side on the south side. Council Member Roden stated that grocery stores were important to people and a grocery store did not exclude high quality anchors. However, he struggled with a grocery store that presented itself in that fashion and whether it would attract the high quality retail they wanted. Council Member Gregory stated that he did not think of a discount grocery as being upscale. The reason for this discussion was because of an earlier discussion about attracting other types of stores. Council Member Johnson asked about modification to the incentive plan for the infrastructure that was installed. Mayor Watts stated that this was not to modify the incentive but whether the Council was comfortable with the vision of the development. Council Member Johnson stated that if there was no incentive and the property was zoned properly, the developer could have built whatever he wanted. The reason he was talking about modification was because the overlay was reimbursement for infrastructure based on the vision. As a developer he wanted to attract the highest quality tenants he could find to pay the most rent and have staying power. The quality stores were not here because they don't believe the demographics would support their stores. He wanted to stay away from saying what types of tenants to go get. The overlay was about construction materials and styles and not tenants. This was not the place for talk about tenants. Council Member Roden questioned if the Council would have done the economic incentive with the project if it had been said that the developer was going to put in a Sack N Save type of grocery store. That would be an average look but nothing other than what Denton had in other places in town. That was why this discussion as to why this was relevant. If the picture was different than what the earlier Council had seen that made it relevant. City of Denton City Council Minutes December 9, 2014 Page 6 Mayor Watts stated that it was performance based and that the incentive was based on nothing on the ground and was split between the two portions of the development. Wagner stated that the development would be a higher quality operation in look and feel but that the shopper demographics would not change. Council Member Gregory stated that the demographics did not reflect Denton due to the large number of students who brought the numbers down as many did not work. Council Member Hawkins felt that a focus on some of the details would ensure the longevity of the project and that Denton residents wanted something different. Mayor Pro Tem Engelbrecht stated that he would want to hear from staff on the issues before making a decision. Consensus of the Council was to receive a staff report at the next meeting with clear direction on the project. Wagner stated that they had expressed a desire to present the current vision on the project which they were still reviewing and would like to react to the discussion before Council gave clear direction. If they were all in agreement with the vision, he would like to make sure it would happen as soon as possible and not have to come to Council on every issue. Amy Bissett, Director of Economic Development, presented direct revenues to the City and Return on Investment for the incentive. The development was consistently outperforming projections. Council Member Roden expressed a concern that the sales tax increases were a direct result of the development or how much was coming from other places in the city as opposed to new sales tax. Bissett stated that they tracked the track sales tax aggregate over time and had seen that each of those continued to perform on base level. There was no decline as this project was ramped up. Mayor Watts asked for a staff report on the issue and Council could pick up the conversation at that point in time. B. ID 14 -0840 Receive a report and hold a discussion regarding the joint meeting of the City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission on December 16, 2014. City Manager Campbell stated that staff was proposing a joint meeting with the Planning and Zoning Commission as the worked through a process and agenda to try and save time on the gas well ordinance issue. The intent was to hold the Council meeting in the regular session including Closed Session, go through the entire agenda and at the end convene a joint public hearing as close to 6:30 as possible. Then after the public hearing, Council would adjourn and the Commission convene among themselves, deliberate and possibly make a recommendation. City of Denton City Council Minutes December 9, 2014 Page 7 Assuming that there would a large number of people to speak at the public hearing, staff would issue numbers similar to the process done at other large public hearings. City Attorney Burgess stated that a joint Closed Session could also be held if needed. Council discussed the extension of the moratorium and starting the process at the same time to have in place if needed. The logistics on the joint meeting was reviewed. City Attorney Burgess stated that there would be flexibility and contingency plans built in to provide full parameters on the issues. C. Under Section 551.042 of the Texas Open Meetings Act, respond to inquiries from the City Council or the public with specific factual information or recitation of policy, or accept a proposal to place the matter on the agenda for an upcoming meeting AND Under Section 551.0415 of the Texas Open Meetings Act, provide reports about items of community interest regarding which no action will be taken, to include: expressions of thanks, congratulations, or condolence; information regarding holiday schedules; an honorary or salutary recognition of a public official, public employee, or other citizen; a reminder about an upcoming event organized or sponsored by the governing body; information regarding a social, ceremonial, or community event organized or sponsored by an entity other than the governing body that was attended or is scheduled to be attended by a member of the governing body or an official or employee of the municipality; or an announcement involving an imminent threat to the public health and safety of people in the municipality that has arisen after the posting of the agenda. Council Member Johnson asked for a follow -up on the Kiwanis fireworks funding and whether HOT funds would be available for that. Council Member Gregory asked for a Work Session on those items below target on the performance measures such as public safety response times. Council Member Hawkins requested a report on the history of the bike lane in Forrestridge and what would need to happen to change it. The Council did not meet in a Closed Meeting following the completion of the 2nd Tuesday Session. With no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:18 p.m. CHRIS WATTS JENNIFER WALTERS MAYOR CITY SECRETARY CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS CITY OF DENTON CITY COUNCIL MINUTES December 16, 2014 After determining that a quorum was present, the City Council convened in a Work Session on Tuesday, December 16, 2014 at 1:00 p.m. in the Council Work Session Room at City Hall. PRESENT: Mayor Pro Tem Engelbrecht, Council Member Gregory, Council Member Hawkins, Council Member Johnson, Council Member Roden, Council Member Ryan, and Mayor Watts. ABSENT: None. 1. Citizen Comments on Consent Agenda Items There were no citizen comments on Consent Agenda Items. 2. Requests for clarification of agenda items listed on the agenda for December 16, 2014. Council Member Ryan asked for an explanation of Item I in terms of cost and how the agreement worked. Jim Coulter, General Manager -Water Administration, stated that there was an individual with a problem with septic service in the area. The agreement was with the individual and the Fresh Water Supply District to treat the water but the service was still Denton's line and fresh water area. The individual paid the full cost of the line and the agreement would reimburse him from others who may want to tie into the line in the future. Council Member Johnson asked about Consent Agenda Item B which dealt with TWU ticket writer devices and whether they administered traffic citations in that area. City Manager Campbell replied yes and that the citations went to Municipal Court. Using the ticket writer devices would be more efficient for Municipal Court. Mayor Watts questioned the increase in price for Consent Agenda Item D and asked for an explanation on the price was determined. Phil Williams, DME General Manager, stated that this was an amendment the contract. The contract was completed before knowing what sites would be used and now that those were determined, there was more work at two of the sites than anticipated such as more fill work, etc. 3. Work Session Reports A. ID 14 -0830 Receive a report, hold a discussion and give staff direction regarding the 2015 State Legislative Program of the City of Denton for the 84th Texas Legislature. Lindsay Baker, IGR/PIO, presented updated information on the program. She was requesting feedback on Council on how they wanted to move forward on the program. Council Member Gregory asked about the statement of goals. City of Denton City Council Minutes December 16, 2014 Page 2 Baker stated that the focus was to look at the organization and how to operate as a full service city. The key was to maintain the services provided and protect the quality of life for citizens. City Manager Campbell asked if the issue concerning sanitary sewer overflows was amended. Baker stated that a statement was added under the utilities area. Council Member Roden stated that there were public comments made concerning the fracking issue and questioned what was on -line for that issue. Baker stated that staff was moving forward with legislation in terms of vested rights and protecting the city's zoning authority in terms of gas wells and where they were located. Council Member Roden asked where citizens could get more information on that. Baker stated that the information was on the gas well webpage which would be updated for any bills filed in the Legislature. Council Member Roden asked about the drafting on the legislation and where they were in the process. City Attorney Burgess stated that she had spoken with Snapper Carr and there was preliminary language on paper. They were working on that draft. Mayor Watts asked about the posting of legal filings. Baker stated that those were posted on the gas well website page under litigation. Council Member Ryan asked about red light camera information and the yellow lights setup. Chief Howell stated that the enforced intersections chosen for the cameras were done so because of the hazards involved to enforce with a physical presence and the difficulty to enforce them. It would require multiple officers at any time to effectively work the intersections. The camera did what the physical officers would do which was a cost saver. An officer would have to run the red light similar to a citizen to enforce the violation. B. ID 14 -0834 Receive a report, hold a discussion, and give staff direction regarding the use of economic development incentives in residential development projects. Bryan Langley, Assistant City Manager, stated that item was about potential residential incentives. The Overview and Purpose of the presentation was to evaluate housing values in Denton and surrounding communities, discuss the Strategic Plan and Council retreat comments concerning housing goals, review recent development inquiries that had been received by staff, discuss current development policies and guidelines and consider whether Council was interested in pursuing incentives for residential development, and if so, discuss what factors were most desirable. He presented information on area housing statistics. City of Denton City Council Minutes December 16, 2014 Page 3 Strategic Plan/Retreat Connections — The Strategic Plan highlighted Key Focus Area 3 in terms of Goal 1 and Goal 3. The Council retreat discussions also focused on the need to improve housing value and options in the community. Development Inquiries — staff recently had several residential developers inquire about the possibility of using incentive /financing mechanisms such as a Public Improvement District or Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone. Examples of the PID /TIRZ development in terms of infrastructure costs to be funded and the associated costs for those in terms of a home value were demonstrated. Similar metroplex developments that had used these types of incentives were reviewed. Current policy — the City had adopted PID guidelines in 2007 which were amended in 2014. The guidelines for that policy were reviewed. It was noted that the City did not have a TIRZ policy but generally the tool had been restricted to significant projects with major economic development impact, the containment of multiple tracts of land that the city desired to be developed or redeveloped, Downtown TIRZ 41, Westpark Industrial TIRZ 42, and Convention Center TIRZ 43. Questions to consider — did the Council want to consider incentives to residential housing developments? If so, adoption of incentives would depend on a variety of factors such as value of homes versus existing developments in Denton, amenity packages offered to development residents and overall City, size of developments, infrastructure provided public benefit and enabled future growth in the City, and development alternatives without incentives may be less desirable for City. Staff recommended that development incentives of a PID/TIRZ be considered if. (1) homes prices would significantly exceed current market offerings in Denton, (2) amenity packages offered substantial value to the community, (3) public infrastructure provided public benefit and enabled future development in the City, (4) TIRZ only "incentivizes" development that exceeded a specific target for home values, (5) TIRZ incentive represents only the O &M portion of the tax rate (e.g. excludes debt service rate), and (6) development furthered other City strategic goals (e.g. comprehensive plan, compact development, rehabilitation of blighted areas, etc.). If directed by Council, staff would engage developers to negotiate specific terms and conditions for consideration. Council discussion centered on how an incentive changed a housing market, could Denton support incentives based on current housing values, what older residents would get out of the amenity packages offered from the new developments, the opportunities associated with larger developments, and the need to create the need for the demand. Amenity planning would have to be reviewed very carefully as well as amenity access. Langley stated that the next steps, if directed to proceed, would be to work to create a term sheet for consideration by Council and potential developers. Council discussed that this was not a mindset that if done for one would have to be done for all, consider the amount of money /debt a developer had to build large residential area, the term sheet would need clarity such as what would happen if the developer changed, guarantees of quality City of Denton City Council Minutes December 16, 2014 Page 4 and defining quality so that those did not become arguments in the future. Another suggestion was to look at incentives with older neighborhoods for revitalization of those areas. Langley stated that in order to provide the frame work for a future conversation, staff needed to know what would be important for the Council to consider. Mayor Watts suggested taking out the TIRZ from the equation as that could be done with a specific development as needed. Council Member Hawkins suggested having a term sheet available for developers who might not know of them. Council Member Johnson stated that there would be the need to have a lot of flexibility and to put as few hard fast guardrails as possible in order to have the flexibility to work with different types of developments. Mayor Watts stated that the consensus of the Council was to have staff engage developers to negotiate specific terms and conditions for consideration. No term sheet should be developed. From the list of bullet points presented, Items 41 and 42 would remain and Items 43, 44 and 45 would be removed. Council Member Gregory stated that another aspect of development was to encourage homes that exceeded the current standards in terms of sustainability and those types of homes should be considered in the mix of incentives. C. ID 14 -0807 Receive a report and hold a discussion regarding billboards impacted by the I- 35E widening project. This item was not considered.

Special Called Session of the City of Denton City Council on December 16, 2014 at 6:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers located at City Hall, 215 E. McKinney Street, Denton, Texas. 1. PUBLIC HEARINGS A. DCA14 -0009 Hold a Joint City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission Public Hearing to receive public input, consider, make recommendations and /or take appropriate action, including adoption, concerning an ordinance amending Subchapters 5, 7, 16 and 22 of the Denton Development Code, relating to Gas Well Drilling and Production, Definitions and Procedures; amending Ordinance No. 2013- 248, relating to planning and development fees and road damage remediation fees relating to gas well drilling and production activities; adding new Subchapter 22A to the Denton Development Code, relating to Oil and Gas Pipelines, Definitions, Procedures; providing a cumulative clause; providing a severability clause; providing for a penalty; and providing for an effective date. Mayor Watts opened the public hearing for the Council and Chairman Thom Reece opened the public hearing for the Planning and Zoning Commission. Darren Groth, Gas Well Administrator, presented an update on the gas well ordinance. The meeting agenda would include background information, information on the Inspections Division, Ordinance Revisions and Project Timelines. Background — this section provided an understanding that a problem moving forward involved how to effectively regulate new activity at existing sites in the City. Note that nothing contained in these proposed ordinance amendments was intended to supersede the hydraulic fracturing ban ordinance adopted by the voters on November 4, 2014. He reviewed the underpinnings of the revisions from various articles regarding vertical wells and horizontal wells. Guiding Principles — these principles showed that impacts were minimized by co- locating multiple wells on a single site, the Barnett Shale field rules allowed one gas well per 20 leased acres, mineral owners were allowed access to their minerals from within the leased property and good regulation of gas well activities must address more than setbacks and limit occupation of critical city open space for surface development. Inspections Division — the Inspections Division was founded in 2011 with a task to review and approve drilling site applications; permit and inspect gas, oil, and injection wells, and maintain maps and data for every well. The Gas Well Inspections Division created a quick reference code for simple access to their website from any Smartphone. The Division website had a user friendly main page with simple icons for ease of use and contact information, contained news and litigation links to provide information related to the City's gas drilling oversight program and pending litigation. The locator application allowed easy search to view detailed gas well City of Denton City Council Minutes December 16, 2014 Page 11 location information and contained interactive maps that were accessible on multiple platforms. There were data pages available for in -depth research of gas wells located within Denton's jurisdictional areas. Ordinance revisions - Chapter 22 reorganization — The objective of the reorganization was to facilitate the use and understanding of the procedures and to organize substantive standards by subject matter. Two version of the ordinance were available on line for review. The redlined version showed the language changes and a clean copy of the new language. Some sections were deleted and others were added. Production monitoring — this was a new program with inspections by a 3rd party retained by the City at the cost to the operator to determine if equipment was properly functioning. Frequency of pad site inspections - this provision would allow for inspections depending on a priority based on distance from a protected use. Pipeline regulations — this was a new program that fulfilled the objective to capture all authority allowed under state law in order to map gas pipelines within the city of Denton and the ETJ. Gas well Notification Disclosure — this was a new program in which surface plats would note the location of the pad site, the existence of wells, the possibility of new wells, the possibility of more drilling and fracturing, and the possibility of re- working. The disclosure would also have a Declaration of Restrictive covenant to advise purchasers of the existence of wells. This notice document would be recorded in County Clerk's Office. Council Member Roden questioned when the average home buyer would see the notices. Aaron Leal, Deputy City Attorney, stated that most home buyers do not purchase outright with cash. They get a home loan and the information would be part of the financing mortgage title. That information would also be available for any subsequent buyer. Council Member Gregory noted that someone driving through neighborhood and saw a structure with no sign on it might not know what it was. He asked if there was anything in the ordinance regarding physical signage of the property. Groth stated that a notice would be required in the form of a sign at the well site identifying who operated it, how to access the operator and the wording of the larger paragraph wording. Council Member Roden asked for a report on why the other options were not chosen for notification. Mayor Watts asked how information was being provided about the website, maps and well site designations. Groth stated that they were addressing ways to do that through social media. Staff would formally adopt a program to get the word out regarding the website. City of Denton City Council Minutes December 16, 2014 Page 12 Mayor Watts stated that there may be an opportunity to lobby the Texas Real Estate Association and to put the information on the seller's disclosure form. Commissioner Connor stated that realtors were obligated to report prior problems with the homes and questioned if they were obligated to report gas wells. Groth indicated that he would research that issue. He continued with Co- Location. The objectives of co- location were to minimize surface impacts, select optimum surface site location within leased acreage, capitalize on technological advances to require co- location of multiple wells on a single site, open land for surface development and restrict leased acreage from future gas well development. Co- Location Proposal - new wells would require a consolidated site with a consolidated permit required for existing sites and combining district for new sites. One site would be selected for all new gas wells. There were acreage restrictions under both scenarios. New Site Co- location — required legislative approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council. For new sites, an optimum site would be selected based on multiple factors. An overlay zoning district would impose restricting the entire leased acreage with the possibility of mitigating conditions being imposed. A Combining District could be used for new sites within acreage containing an existing site or for existing sites at the operator's option. The proposal for existing sites co- location would require administrative approval by the Gas Well Administrator. Step 1 included all continuous leased acreage would be considered in a review with the operator having an opportunity to present impediments to the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Step 2 involved one site approved for additional wells based on the largest setback. The entire remaining acreage would be restricted from future drilling. Council Member Roden asked what would be the avenue for a developer of a new site to know the administrative process. Groth stated that there would be a similar process to what currently existed. Any new site would need administrative approval. The application required the ability to locate the site on the property with cooperation between the developer and owner of the property. Council Member Roden questioned what would trigger the surface developer into the discussion. Groth stated that the operating lease would have to be re- negotiated with the owner of the property. The applicant would be required to sign and attest to have notices of the surface owner and the ability to submit it on behalf of the surface owners. Council Member Gregory questioned if there was a step where the surface owner had an opportunity to weigh in on the location of the sites. Groth stated that Step 1 could have the surface owner sign the application but staff would look at when to have that step included in the process. City of Denton City Council Minutes December 16, 2014 Page 13 Mayor Watts stated that in zoning tract hearings, notifications were sent out and in that case, the surface owner would be notified. Groth stated that if the proposal were in a public hearing process the notice area would be quite large and the adjoining property owners would also be notified. Terry Morgan, Attorney Consultant, stated that a requirement could be added to notify each surface owner which would not be the same as an administrative review. City Attorney Burgess stated that an applicant had to provide proof of the surface uses which could be an easy addition to the administrative portion. Morgan stated that this would not be to require consent but rather just a notification. Groth continued with limits on administrative approval for existing site. The objectives were to seek the greatest setback distance, identify the drill site that would have the least impact to the greatest number of surface uses, minimize the number of drill sites by restricting a greater amount of acreage, and open additional acreage in the interest of the general public and future development. Mayor Watts questioned what the second objective was being used for and if that would be a place where the surface owner would have some impact on the selection. Groth stated that it could be used for that depending on whether the lots were platted or if there were homes already near the site. Commissioner Connor stated that based on the footage, the surface use would be limited because with setbacks as a radius there would be 1000 -2000 feet in setbacks. Using such a radius, half of the land could not be used for surface structures. Groth stated that was not the intent as that would fall under reverse setbacks with two different criteria. He continued with limits on administrative approval for existing sites. For leased acreage less than or equal to 160 acres, the minimum setback would be 1000 feet. Over 160 acres, the minimum setback would be 800 feet. Reverse setback for an existing site was a 300 foot radius from the pad site to the structure. If the site were co- located, the distance would be a 600 foot radius. Council Member Johnson asked whether the distance was from the edge of the pad site based on how the pad site boundaries were designed. Groth stated that it would be by definition on the plat. Some were not clearly defined but a standard pad site definition would be used. The 100 foot offset would be before the 300 foot setback. Council Member Johnson asked what impact that would have to surface development. City of Denton City Council Minutes December 16, 2014 Page 14 Groth stated that it would be an opportunity to limit the number of sites. It would allow for additional development and open the land for development with restrictions from future development of pad site. Council Member Roden stated that the scenarios assumed that the operator had come to table first and identified which sites to co- locate and which sites were regular sites. In the scenario where there was development of the surface before the operator made the decision, the default setback would be 300 feet and the operator would be out of luck for those sites. Groth stated that a consideration for a regular site was that there could be several applications of co- located sites before development. If development occurred, the limit was 300 feet with no mechanism to get to a 300 setback distance. The developer would have to look for a new site for a well from the development but not at the existing location. Groth continued with the insurance provisions. The provisions were reviewed by expert coverage attorney. A certificate of insurance would be required and a copy of endorsements adding the City as an additional insured. The permit would be suspended if the insurance was cancelled. The insurance would have to be issued by a financially sound company. The provisions for the general liability, environmental impairment and auto liability provisions were noted. Provisions would also be provided for worker's compensation, an umbrella liability and control of the well. He presented the project timelines reviewing the current requirements and the proposed timeline. Commissioner Briggle asked about the production monitoring and what that included. Groth stated that it would be a third party monitoring to make sure the equipment on site was properly functioning. The goal was to check for equipment that was maintained, inspected and tested to assure proper operating integrity and reliability. It was not sampling of the air, water, etc. Commissioner Briggle asked if there would be surprise inspections. Groth stated that the inspection might vary but that there would have to be coordination on the location. Some inspections could be done at any time but other sites wanted someone there when doing the inspection. There might not be activity on some of the sites depending on they were in the process. Commission Briggle stated that she would hope that the inspections would not be announced in order to get the best type of inspection. The following individuals spoke during the public hearing: Ed Ireland, Executive Director of Barnett Shale Energy Education Center, felt that more time was needed for input into the process. He spoke on a number of the items in the proposed ordinance. City of Denton City Council Minutes December 16, 2014 Page 15 Council Member Gregory stated that Mr. Ireland was asking to consider an extended period of time over 90 days. The current moratorium was scheduled to end January 20th and he questioned Mr. Ireland if he was in favor of an extension of the moratorium. Ireland stated that it would be better to extend the moratorium than to enact an improper ordinance. Cathy McMullen, 805 Ector, Denton - requested further revisions for health, safety and quality of life for Denton's residents. Among her suggestions were no flaring or venting, vapor recovery units on all equipment, no open pits, use a closed mud loop system, air monitoring through all phases through production, and no lift system. If the ban was overturned all flowback include pressured flowback tanks and final approval for variances go to Council. Jeff McClung, 2018 Longmeadow, Denton - provided suggestions for vapor recovery units to be mandatory for all sites, air sample and water samples should be taken. Adam Briggle, 1315 Dartmouth, Denton - in favor of the co- location idea, reverse setback distances were still minimal, audience for this disclosure for renters, agreed that there needed to be a way to encourage ongoing compliance, how to respond to complaints, and air and water monitoring in addition to equipment monitoring. Jonathan Adams, 2210 West Woodrow, Denton, felt that the industry did not need to be self - regulated. Cindy Spoon, 2210 Westwood — among her suggestions were that the moratorium should be extended, monitor air and water, inspections should be a surprise, vapor recovery units, increase distances in reverse setbacks, and enforcement plan for the ban. Guy Claussner, 4124 Selene, Denton — concerned about third party inspections instead of the City doing the inspections and agreed with air, water and soil testing. Comment cards were submitted by the following: Betty Farmer, 947 Hilltop Road, Argyle - opposed to the ordinance Ken Gold, 2512 Natchez Trace, Denton, 76210 — in favor Additional speakers included: Ed Soph, 1620 Victoria, Denton — spoke on insurance requirements, the need for precautionary measures, the need for monitory and baseline studies, protection for health and safety of residents, and meaningful signage around wells. Angie Holliday, 419 Fulton, Denton — requested various measures some of which included monitoring of air, water and soil, surprise inspections, extension of the moratorium, vapor recover units, no flaring in city limits, no open pits and an enforcement plan for the ban. City of Denton City Council Minutes December 16, 2014 Page 16 Taralynn Hunter, 118 Bernard, Denton — suggested various measures some of which included quarterly inspections for all well sites, surprise inspections, air, water and soil testing done by a 3rd party at the industry expense, no flaring or venting, vapor recovery units, no open pits and no compressor stations. Taylor Breckenridge, 904 West Hickory, Denton — commented on the same concerns as those before him. Council Member Ryan motioned, Mayor Pro Tem Engelbrecht seconded to continue the public hearing to the January 6, 2015 Council meeting. Council Member Hawkins requested additional information on the Ireland scenario. Commissioner Connor asked what kind of vehicle could be put in place so that when changes were made to the ordinance, there wouldn't have to be a public hearing every time or was that a requirement. City Attorney Burgess stated that the objective was to encourage as much information into a public hearing to make decisions. Council would have an opportunity after receiving a Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation to consider additional comments so that would be handled just a bit different. Commissioner Connor questioned that as the law changed and the ordinance would have to change would it have to come back to the Commission every time. City Attorney Burgess replied no that after the Commission made a recommendation it would come to Council and Council would consider it on January 6a'. Council Member Gregory requested that staff provide the Commission and Council a list of the concerns from citizens and the industry for consideration. He questioned what type of enforcement provision was included in the fracking ban passed by the citizens and how that guided staff. City Attorney Burgess stated that the initiative ordinance passed by the citizens included a penalty provision which included a fine only penalty Class C misdemeanor. It did not involve arrest or jail time. However, there were other provisions of the Code of Ordinance that allowed for injunctive relief that was the possibility for all city ordinances. Staff could look at the initiative ordinance or other code provisions for relief. Council Member Gregory asked for a definition of injunctive relief. City Attorney Burgess stated that it was a process where a party could go into Court to stop an activity such as temporary restraining order. Council Member Roden suggested adding to the list the idea to explore with the TCEQ and the Railroad Commission to work in partnership with cities for items such as monitoring. He City of Denton City Council Minutes December 16, 2014 Page 17 requested information on pending applications and implications to the ordinance, educational information be put on the website regarding monitoring and production monitoring. On roll vote to continue the public hearing to the January 6, 2015 Council meeting, Mayor Pro Tem Engelbrecht "aye ", Council Member Gregory "aye ", Council Member Hawkins "aye ", Council Member Johnson "aye ", Council Member Roden "aye ", Council Member Ryan "aye ", and Mayor Watts "aye ". Motion carried unanimously. Following the completion of the public hearing, Council did not meet in a joint Closed Meeting. With no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:25 p.m. CHRIS WATTS MAYOR CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS JENNIFER WALTERS CITY SECRETARY CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS City Hall City of Denton 215 E. McKinney St. Denton, Texas 76201 www.cityofdenton.com D EN'FON File #: ID 15 -034, Version: 1 Legislation Text AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET DEPARTMENT: Materials Management ACM: Bryan Langley AGENDA DATE: February 3, 2015 SUBJECT Consider approval of a resolution adopting Texas Business Code, Subtitle B, Chapter 322, "The Uniform Electronic Transactions Act" to permit electronic signatures on certain documents entered into by and between the City and other parties as a city policy; a resolution adopting the provisions of Texas Local Government Code, Section 252.0415, establishing a city policy regarding procedures for the receipt of electronic bids and proposals; providing that all bonds and negotiable instruments tendered to the City, or by the City in satisfaction of or as evidence of obligations shall bear original signatures; and providing that the City Council in its sound discretion, may require original signatures on certain other documents in the best interests of the City; providing for the later modification of the policies by the City Manager as deemed necessary; and declaring an effective date. BACKGROUND It is the objective of this policy to authorize the use of electronic signatures on certain documents and allow for the acceptance of electronic bids and proposals. Currently, the City requires hand written original signatures on contracts and hard copy receipt of bids and proposals. This process can be cumbersome and add processing time to procurement transactions. This new process will create efficiencies and cost savings in receipt of contracts and bids and proposals. The State of Texas and many governmental agencies have adopted the "Texas Uniform Electronic Transaction Act" (Texas Business & Commerce Code, Subtitle B, Chapter 322). This Act permits the acceptance of electronic signatures in lieu of original signatures on certain documents. The Act recommends that agencies adopt their open policies in the use, storage, and security of the signatures and documents. It is the intent of staff to utilize a third party software to capture, secure, and receive electronic signatures. The software will be of no cost to the supplier or contractor. The final documents will then be stored to meet records retention requirements in an approved format. Texas Local Government Code 252.0415 authorizes municipalities to receive electronic bids and proposals. The code requires that City Council approve a policy that ensures the identification, security, and confidentiality of the electronic bids or proposals and to ensure that the electronic bids or proposals effectively remain unopened until the proper time. The administrative procedures of the attached resolution (Exhibit 1) were drafted to protect the confidentiality and to ensure that electronic bids and proposals remain unopened until the proper time. City of Denton Page 1 of 2 Printed on 1/29/2015 File #: ID 15 -034, Version: 1 These procedures will allow members of the City's community to do business electronically and to conduct certain City transactions electronically that currently require handwritten signatures on paper documents. There will be no cost passed to the suppliers or contractors and the approval of this resolution does not prohibit the use of handwritten signatures or hard copy bid or proposal submissions. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the resolution adopting Texas Business Code, Subtitle B, Chapter 322, "The Uniform Electronic Transactions Act" to permit electronic signatures on certain documents and the associated "Electronic Signature Policy" and the "Materials Management Division Electronic Receipt of Bids and Proposals Policy" be forwarded to the City Council for review and approval.

SECTION 4. This Resolution shall become effective immediately upon its passage and approval. PASSED AND APPROVED this the day of 12015. ATTEST: JENNIFER WALTERS, CITY SECRETARY ma Page 2 CHRIS WATTS, MAYOR APPROVED AS TO LEGAL FORM: ANITA BURGESS, CITY ATTORNEY T5, Page 3 ATTACHMENT A City of Denton Electronic Signature Policy I. POLICY STATEMENT It is the objective of this policy to authorize electronic signatures on documents for certain City transactions. This policy identifies the City of Denton's requirements for the use of electronic signatures, electronic transactions, and electronic records in conducting the City's business and service operations. This procedure will allow members of the City's community do business electronically and use e- signatures to conduct City transactions that previously required handwritten signatures and approvals on paper documents. This procedure establishes the process for designating transactions requiring e- signatures and how the City accepts and verifies e- signatures. This policy doesn't prohibit the use of handwritten signatures and approvals on paper documents. IL ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES To increase the efficiency of City operations that require authorization and /or signature, the City may allow the use of electronic signatures to conduct certain transactions that previously required handwritten signatures and approvals on paper documents. State and Federal Regulations eliminate legal barriers to using technology to create and sign contracts and other records, collect and store electronic records, and conduct everyday transactions electronically. When using electronic signatures, City staff needs to be aware that signatures and the associated data to validate the signature are an integral part of a record. The signature and all necessary verification records shall be maintained for the full records life cycle. The records life cycle is the life span of the record from its creation or receipt to its final disposition. It is usually described in three stages: creation, maintenance and use, and final disposition. Final disposition can mean permanent deletion or destruction. Therefore, the electronic signature documentation must remain accessible for the full retention period of the record to which it is associated. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the City accepts e- signatures as legally binding and equivalent to handwritten signatures to signify an agreement. III. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Texas governmental agencies have implemented systems that include the electronic interchange of information between agencies and the public. These systems have saved time and money and improved the overall efficiency of government operations. The legal basis of these transactions were generally established by means of traditional contract law or by administrative rules to establish the procedures and legal consequences for the transactions. Texas state law, Texas Business & Commerce Code, Subtitle B, Chapter 322, allows government agencies to take advantage of additional electronic exchanges over the internet and other networks where authentication is required. City of Denton Electronic Signature Policy IV. DEFINITIONS The Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) was enacted into law in Texas by the 77th Legislature (Senate Bill 393) in May 2001, and became effective on January 1, 2002. UETA provides definitions for several key terms that pertain to this Guide. Some of those definitions are set out below. "Electronic" means relating to technology having electrical, digital, magnetic, wireless, optical, electromagnetic, or similar capabilities. "Electronic record" means a record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means. "Record" means information that is inscribed on a tangible medium or that is stored in an electronic or other medium and is retrievable in perceivable form. "Transaction" means an action or set of actions occurring between two or more persons relating to the conduct of business, commercial, or governmental affairs. (Note: the term "transaction" is intended to refer to the sending or acceptance of electronic records and electronic signatures by state agencies, to and from other persons. "Electronic signature (hereafter e- signature) " means an electronic sound, symbol, or process attached to or logically associated with a record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record. V. ACCEPTANCE OF E- SIGNATURES The City may elect not to use e- signatures for certain contracts and documents. As of implementation date of this policy, e- signatures may not be used for bonds, negotiable instruments and conveyances of real estate. VI. IMPLEMENTATION OF E- SIGNATURE PROCESS The acceptance of an e- signature transaction should meet the following principles: • Signer must consent to utilize e- signatures in lieu of handwritten signatures by accepting terms of use through the City provided third party document management software. This consent shall be stored with each e- signed document. • Signer may only enter their signature in the designated signature block and not enter their signature in other signature blocks. • Signer must input full name below e- signature if prompted. • The time and date of the e- signature must be captured, stored, and available for retrieval. • The contents of the document, the "I agree" check box, typed full name, time, and date of the transaction must be bound to the electronic record in perpetuity. Page 2 of 3 City of Denton Electronic Signature Policy • The stored document must indicate that it was electronically signed. • After signing, the document must be transmitted to all parties in a format acceptable to the applicable City system (e.g., a document management system or database) • The document and audit information must be available for retrieval by appropriate City staff. • The signature shall remain with the document through the appropriate retention period. • Third party document management software shall be encrypted to a minimum of 256 bit encryption.

Fleet standardization minimizes costs and improves efficiencies relating to technician training, diagnostic software, required specialty tools and stocking of replacement parts.

As an approved warranty provider, we perform repairs that are covered under warranty, reducing downtime and costs associated with transportation of these trucks to the Rush shop. I believe the purchase of the appropriate Peterbilt Truck Chassis is the best value and I am requesting authorization to make this purchase based on fleet standardization.

No 8uurunV:o was muJc that u specific amount oftbcmc fuels would be purchased. Unleaded and diesel fuel will hc used byvarious City departments, The Tot—A aviation fuel will hc used hythe Police Department. EXHIBIT 2 The City previously awarded separate Agreements for unleaded fuels and diesel fuels on November 10, 2009 (M&C P- 11056) and for Jet—A aviation fuel on June 7, 2011 (M&C P- 11241). The previous Agreements were competitively bid. During the previous year, the City purchased approximately $5,831,859.00 of motor fuels and approximately $118,000.00 of Jet—A aviation fuels. The additional estimated annual amount listed in this action is requested to cover potential increases in prices and volumes over the five year term of the Agreement. A price change of 50 cents per gallon can impact the annual expenditures by $100,000.00. Other public agencies participating in the previous Agreements have purchased approximately 21,000,000 gallons of motor fuels. Based on the new Motor Fuel Agreement, the City of Fort Worth will save approximately $38,000.00 annually over previous Motor Fuel Agreements as a direct result of the increased volume by participation of the other public agencies. Under the Rebate to Principal Procurement Agency Agreement, the City of Fort Worth will receive 8.333 percent of a one—cent administration fee to be paid to National Intergovernmental Purchasing Alliance (National IPA) by the petroleum vendors for each gallon of fuel sold under these national cooperative contracts. This rebate could generate approximately $42,000.00 annually in revenue to the City. The City will have no liability or responsibility for purchases by other public agencies. This Motor Fuel and Aviation Fuel Non—Exclusive Purchase Agreement was bid as a National Cooperative Purchasing Request for Proposals (RFP) to develop and encourage cooperative purchasing efforts to reduce the cost of motor and aviation fuel to the City and other public agencies. The RFP included estimated annual quantities from current public agencies using the contract and allowed for quantities additional new agencies may have under the contract with a total estimated quantity of 50 million gallons. The RFP evaluation factors included responsiveness and clarity of proposal, ability to meet City of Fort Worth specifications, the National Program, vendor qualifications and contract cost. Representatives of the City's Equipment Services, Fire, Police, Transportation and Public Works and Water Departments evaluated the proposals received and found Mansfield Oil Company, Martin Eagle Oil Company, Inc,, and Truman Arnold Oil Companies to be the best evaluated firms for awards of the Agreements. BID ADVERTISEMENT — This bid was advertised in the Fort Worth Star —Tele ram every Wednesday starting on June 4, 2014 through July 9, 2014. Eighty—eight vendors were solicited from the purchasing database; seven responses were received, M/WBE OFFICE — A waiver of the goal for MBE/SBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the Purchasing Division and approved by the M/WBE Office, in accordance with EXHIBIT 2 the BDE Ordinance, because the purchase of goods or services is from sources where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible. ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE ORDER — An administrative change order or increase may be made by the City Manager in the amount up to $50,000.00 and does not require specific City Council approval as long as sufficient funds have been appropriated. AGREEMENT TERM — Upon City Council approval, these Agreements shall have an initial term of five years beginning on November 19, 2014 and ending on November 18, 2019. RENEWAL OPTIONS — These Agreements may be renewed for up to four successive one—year terms at the City's option. This action does not require specific City Council approval, provided the City Council has appropriated sufficient funds to satisfy the City's obligation during the renewal term. FISCAL INFORMATION: The Financial Management Services Director certifies that funds are available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of the Equipment Services Fund.

The Public Utilities Board recommends approval (5 -0). FILE INFORMATION Zebra Mussels were found in Lake Ray Roberts in July 2012 and within the Lake Ray Roberts Water Treatment Plant and raw water piping system in 2013. Based on the reproduction rate, it is likely that Lake Lewisville will be infested in a relatively short time, placing the Lake Lewisville raw water intake structure and pipelines in jeopardy in addition to the Lake Ray Roberts facilities. The City of Denton Water Utility's goal is to avoid degradation of the drinking water supply by minimizing the impact of the spread and growth of Zebra Mussels through cost effective and environmentally sensitive methods. In order to address the Zebra Mussel issue, staff issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ 5643). Standard City of Denton purchasing procedures were utilized. RFQ notices were advertised in the local paper, posted on the internet, and emailed to 138 prospective vendors including five (5) consulting firms that that have prior Zebra Mussel experience. Proposals were received from two firms. A staff screening and selection committee evaluated the qualifications of the two firms and scored ARCADIS -US, Inc. (ARCADIS) the highest based on the evaluation criteria (Exhibit 1). ARCADIS is currently working on a similar study for the City of Dallas and is familiar with the Lake Lewisville Water Treatment Plant since they were the firm that designed and performed the construction phase services for the Plant's recent rehabilitation. In accordance with the provisions of the State of Texas Government Code 2254, ARCADIS then submitted proposal pricing in the amount $200,074 based on a formalized scope of work provided by staff. Staff negotiated some minor modifications to the scope of work which resulted in ARCADIS lowering their proposed amount to $148,623. The attached Professional Services Agreement (Exhibit 4) includes the following services to be performed by ARCADIS: City of Denton Page 1 of 2 Printed on 1/29/2015 File #: ID 15 -089, Version: 1 Site Survey and Analysis • Identifying and Evaluating Site Specific Control Measures • Estimating the Cost of Implementation and Maintenance • Recommending the Best Control Measure(s) based on Zebra Mussel Infestation • Issuance of a Draft Report and a Final Report for both treatment facilities which includes the intake structures, raw water pump stations, raw water transmission lines and the treatment plants RECOMMENDATION Approve a Professional Services Agreement with ARCADIS -US, Inc. in the amount of $148,623.

The Public Utilities Board recommends approval (5 -0). CHANGE ORDER INFORMATION The Wastewater Collection System Improvements for the Sherman Drive /Holiday Park/ Longfellow project consists primarily of the replacement of approximately 12,600 feet of existing 6 inch clay gravity sanitary sewer with new 8 inch PVC or HDPE sanitary sewer. The project is required due to the poor structural condition of the existing clay lines which need to be replaced. This bid was approved by City Council on July 15, 2014. The approved contract was for 5,892 feet of sanitary sewer. At the preconstruction meeting for the project on November 5, 2014, it was discovered that the bid tabulation sheets had underestimated the sanitary sewer footage by 631 feet. Without the additional footage, the project cannot be completed as shown on the plans and at least one sanitary sewer line will need to be left in a state of disrepair. The proposed contract modification adjusts the total footage of sewer to 6,523 feet which matches the work shown on the construction plans. The additional sewer footage will be paid at the same rate as the existing contract unit price. PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (COUNCIL, BOARDS, COMMISSIONS) On January 26, 2015, the Public Utilities Board recommended approval to forward this item to the City Council for consideration.

CHRIS WATTS, MAYOR ATTEST: JENNIFER WALTERS, CITY SECRETARY ffla APPROVED AS TO LEGAL FORM: ANITA BURGESS, CITY ATTORNEY m BY: City Hall City of Denton 215 E. McKinney St. Denton, Texas 76201 www.cityofdenton.com D EN'FON File #: ID 15 -104, Version: 1 DEPARTMENT: CM/ ACM: Date: Transportation Jon Fortune February 3, 2015 Legislation Text Agenda Information Sheet SUBJECT Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, Texas, approving the Real Property conveyance of the Downtown Denton Transit Center from the City to the Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) in accordance with the terms of the Interlocal Cooperation Agreement between the City and DCTA (Ordinance No. 2008 -098); and providing an effective date. BACKGROUND The City of Denton and DCTA entered into an Interlocal Agreement as part of the design and construction of the Euline Brock Downtown Denton Transit Center (DDTC) in May 6, 2008 (Ordinance 2008 -098). The Agreement states that the City of Denton will facilitate the construction of the DDTC through the use of a Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grant and convey the facility to DCTA at a later date. The City of Denton currently owns the property where the DDTC was constructed and has applied the value of the real estate, appraised at $750,000, as part of the 20- percent local match to leverage $3.1M in FTA funds. The May 2008 agreement contemplated that the facility, once completed, will be conveyed to DCTA for the amount not to exceed of $777,423, the local match of 20- percent. The May 6, 2008 Agreement also called for DCTA to provide $388,712 or 50- percent of the $777,423 to serve as earnest money and allow for working capital in the relocation of the City of Denton Facilities Management operation that once occupied the DDTC prior to renovation. The remaining amount of the local share, $388,711, would be submitted to the City upon completion of the project and grant close out. The facility was substantially completed in May 2011 and occupied by DCTA in June 2011. On May 3, 2011, DCTA and the City entered into a Right of Entry and Possession (ROE) agreement authorizing DCTA to formally occupy the facility upon the issuance of a certificate of occupancy by the City of Denton. The ROE entry has been extended to permit access to DCTA until final punch list items were completed and close out of the grant with the FTA. The DDTC has enhanced the DCTA public transit system providing a safe and secure place to make transit connections. Public transportation is essential for the attraction of new business to Denton and has promoted economic development and commercial activity in the downtown area. The 2008 Agreement contemplated the real property conveyance of the DDTC to DCTA after the completion of improvements thereon. The conveyance of the Transit Center to DCTA is the final component of the Agreement. The Grant was formally closed in May 2014 and final submittal and review of asset transfer is underway with the FTA. City of Denton Page 1 of 2 Printed on 1/29/2015 File #: ID 15 -104, Version: 1 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the ordinance. ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT Staff anticipates FTA will complete their review and approval of the DDTC conveyance by May 2015, prior to the termination of the current ROE. PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (Council, Boards, Commissions) The DCTA Board will consider a resolution at their February 26, 2015, meeting to demonstrate to the FTA their interest to acquire and procure the assets from the City including any FTA funding or grant interests. FISCAL INFORMATION Ordinance 2008 -098 calls for DCTA to provide a final payment of $388,711 for a total amount of $777,423 representing the local 20- percent share of the 80:20 Federal grant. Staff is recommending a final payment of 368,711, $20,000 less than the original amount to cover additional construction efforts advanced by DCTA. EXHIBITS 1. Location Map 2. Ordinance 3.

McKinney St. Denton, Texas 76201 www.cityofdenton.com D EN'FON File #: ID 15 -105, Version: 1 Legislation Text Agenda Information Sheet DEPARTMENT: Denton Municipal Electric CM/ ACM: Howard Martin Date: February 3. 2015 SUBJECT Consider adoption of an ordinance authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute a Contract of Sale, by and between the City of Denton, Texas ( "CITY "), as Buyer, and Linda Maria Casias Roth (the "OWNER "), as Seller, to acquire fee simple to a 0.2714 acre tract situated in the Robert Beaumont Survey, Abstract No. 31, located in the City of Denton, Denton County, Texas, and being generally located at 1224 North Bonnie Brae Street; for the purchase price of one hundred thirty seven thousand five hundred dollars and no cents ($137,500.00), and other consideration, as prescribed in the Contract of Sale (the "AGREEMENT "), as attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit "A "; authorizing the expenditure of funds therefor; and providing an effective date. (future Hickory to U.S. 380 Transmission Line Upgrade Project). BACKGROUND The subject property tract purchase is intended to be a settlement in regard to a litigant, Linda Roth, in the inverse condemnation suit filed against the City in June of 2012. In 1962, the City of Denton constructed a 69kV transmission power line circuit, connecting the Hickory Street substation to the Riney Road substation, by means of wooden poles. In 2010, those wooden poles were replaced with steel poles, along with new wire line conductors. That circuit continues to be energized at 69kV. That transmission line rebuild project, coupled with a neighborhood rallying initiative, manifested into the present lawsuit. The litigants claimed that a taking of property rights had occurred because of the rebuild project. Thereafter, staff gathered information and the field survey data necessary to counter any claims made. The matter at hand presented itself as a settlement solution to a future project initiative, a planned upgrade to the system from 69kV to 138kV. It is optimal that a 138kV electric transmission power line be operated and maintained in a corridor with a 35' pole centerline setback from any vertical structures. To date, most of the individual litigants in the case at hand have settled or are in agreement to settle their claims by way of the sale of electric power line easements to the City, in which a 35' setback is established. In the case of the subject property tract, a significant portion of the garage improvements exist within the overlay of an optimal 35' pole centerline setback, an approximate 14 foot projection. This is considered as a "bi- section" in the parlance of land rights acquisition for projects. Typically, a bi- section results in the complete removal of the bisected improvements as part of the acquisition, a bisected improvement having no contributory value in the after condition. In the case at hand, it is believed that a modification to the garage portion of the structure would be viable to pursue. City of Denton Page 1 of 3 Printed on 1/29/2015 File #: ID 15 -105, Version: 1 A best practices solution when there needs to be modifications to residential structures to provide clearance for public works projects, the entity may purchase the whole property tract in an arm's length transaction, in this case as settlement. Thereafter, the City could facilitate whatever modifications to the structure necessary to accommodate the project, and then submit the tract to auction, recouping a portion of the outlay and retaining whatever land rights that are necessary for the project. The residence in currently occupied with the three (3) discrete tenant leases at month -to- month. As a condition to close and fund the transaction, those are tenants will be duly noticed by the Seller of lease terminations, so that the property is vacant at the time of purchase by the City. OPTIONS 1. Recommend approval of the proposed Ordinance. 2. Recommend to decline to approve the proposed Ordinance. 3. Table for future consideration.

McKinney St. Denton, Texas 76201 www.cityofdenton.com D EN'FON Legislation Text File #: ID 15 -114, Version: 1 Agenda Information Sheet DEPARTMENT: Municipal Judge CM/ ACM: Robin A. Ramsay, Denton Municipal Judge Date: February 3, 2015 SUBJECT Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, Texas, appointing Gregory L. Bertrand as Assistant Judge for the City of Denton Municipal Court of Record; appointing Dennis Engler as Assistant Judge for the City of Denton Municipal Court of Record; appointing Alison J. Grant as Assistant Judge for the City of Denton Municipal Court of Record; appointing Brian S. Holman as Assistant Judge for the City of Denton Municipal Court of Record appointing James Horton as Assistant Judge for the City of Denton Municipal Court of Record; establishing terms of office for municipal judges in accordance with applicable state statutes; providing for renewal and extension of terms absent specific action by Council; authorizing the Mayor to execute a contract for term of office; ratifying terms of contract; and declaring an effective date. BACKGROUND The Denton Municipal Court has experienced several changes over the last few years, both as to complexity and type of cases heard, as well as new processes for disposition. While the total number of cases filed has remained somewhat constant, the type and complexity of cases heard and hearings held has changed somewhat as new areas of civil enforcement and magisterial authority has expanded under both state law and city ordinance. Prior to the tenure of the current Presiding Judge, the Judge's Office was staffed by a full -time Presiding Judge, one (1) additional appointed permanent "part- time" (twenty -hour) judicial position and an additional twenty (20) hours allocated for assignment to other assistant judges. In essence, prior to 1996, the Judge's Office was staffed and supported by the equivalent of two (2) full time judicial positions scheduled during the court's traditional work week. In February of 1996, upon taking office, the current Presiding Judge chose to forego filling the part -time judicial position, and by subsequent years, the full -time position of Assistant Judge had been effectively eliminated. In place of the forty (40) total hours of time assigned to part -time or assistant judges, the Presiding Judge assumed many of those hours previously performed by his assistants. In order to meet the weekday operations of the Court, the Judge's Office reduced the number of hours assigned to assistant judges to a total of one thousand forty (1040) hours annually. This budgeted amount provided for coverage of any dockets, or other judicial/ magisterial duties during the normal work week that must be performed in the absence or illness of the Presiding Judge. This restructuring eliminated a need for benefit costs, and allowed for a flexibility in budgeting which could be City of Denton Page 1 of 4 Printed on 1/29/2015 File #: ID 15 -114, Version: 1 adjusted on a weekly basis according to the needs of the office. While assistant judges could be called upon to perform duties when necessary, Assistant Judges were not guaranteed any minimum number of hours. Through this process, the Judge's Office greatly reduced the total number of hours required for operation of the Court. What had been budgeted for a total annual expenditure of approximately 4,600 hours of judicial hours (including weekend jail magistrations), has been reduced to a total annual expenditure of approximately 3,600 total hours (including weekend jail magistrations.) Importantly, this "hours by assignment only" approach allows for even greater ability to conserve financial resources when necessary. By this process, the Court has, in every budget year since 1996, been able to spend less than budgeted for personnel costs, eliminated additional benefit expenses, and reduced the total number of judicial hours assigned to assistant judges to less than ten (10) hours during the average work week. While this "hours by assignment only" approach greatly reduces the funding necessary to meet the needs of the Court, the assistant judges who have been appointed to serve the Court are somewhat at a disadvantage. As they must maintain a separate professional source of income, and cannot count on their appointment as a sole or dependable source of income, the Court does not expect them to always be available for assignment on short notice. In order to address both the needs of the office and to be fair to the Assistant Judges, the Judge's Office has developed a "pool" of judges from which to draw. By maintaining a pool of qualified judges, should one judge be unavailable on short notice, any one of the other judges might be available in their place. In this way, while the assistant judges are not guaranteed any hours or dockets, and while they receive no direct benefits, the ability to decline assignments allows each judge to serve when available, without imposing unfairly on their individual law practices or schedules. Over the past five years, the Court has lost the services of several of the appointed Assistant Judges. In 2010, Judge Earleen Murphy (first appointed as a Judge in 2002), passed away after a courageous fight against cancer. In 2011, Judge Ann Poston accepted a position as a teacher for the Denton independent School District at the Denton County Juvenile Detention Facility. In 2010, Judge Bertrand accepted an appointment as Presiding Judge for the City of Flower Mound, as well as the City of Corinth in 2012. In 2013, Judge Kimberly McCary was elected to the bench as Judge of Denton County Court of Law Number 1 (Designated Juvenile Court.) While the Court mourns the loss of Judge Murphy, and is quite proud of the accomplishments of Judge McCary and the other judges, these changes have limited the availability of the current pool of judges available to serve the City of Denton Municipal Court. The City of Denton Code of Ordinances and Denton City Charter (Sec. 19 -36) provides for the appointment of Assistant Judges in Odd - numbered years, for two (2) year terms of office. As of January, 2015, the Denton Municipal Judge's Office has a total of three (3) licensed attorneys appointed as Assistant Municipal Judges: the Honorable Greg Bertrand, the Honorable Dennis Engler, and the Honorable James Horton. Request for Re- Appointment of Currently Serving Assistant Judges The Judge's Office is now asking that Judge Bertrand, Judge Engler and Judge Horton be re- appointed by Council. Their Term of Office (as required by state law and City ordinance) would be effective as of January of 2015, and extend for a two year term, through December of 2017. While all of the Assistant Judges have agreed to serve when available, all of them have additional opportunities professionally or different personal situations, it seems apparent that the Judge's Office is in need of appointment of additional qualified attorneys City of Denton Page 2 of 4 Printed on 1/29/2015 File #: ID 15 -114, Version: 1 to serve as Associate or assistant Judges. So, while the Court will continue to call upon those Judges previously appointed by Council, it has become necessary for the Court to look for additional qualified candidates to add to the "pool" of assistant judges. Request for Appointment of New or Additional Assistant Judges The Judge's Office has always been proud of the integrity and quality of the work provided by our current group of Assistant Judges. In keeping with these high standards, the Judge's Office would like to recommend the following attorneys for consideration by the Counsel for appointment as Assistant Municipal Judges: Attorney Alison J. Grant Brian S. Holman Ms. Grant is a member of the State Bar of Texas, a member of the Denton County Bar Association and well respected in her general civil and criminal practice. Based upon my experience with her, she has a good temperament for a judicial position, currently serves as an appointed Assistant Judge for the Town of Flower Mound and the City of Corinth, and has demonstrated patience and tolerance such that she will represent the City of Denton well. Attorney and Presiding Judge Brian S. Holman has been a long serving judge (twenty years or more) for the City of Lewisville, Texas. Judge Holman maintained a well respected general civil law practice for many years in Denton, served as prosecutor for several municipalities in Denton County, and has served as Presiding Judge of the City of Lewisville for twelve years. He has taught courses for the Texas Municipal Court's Education Center across the state on Municipal Court processes and procedures for over ten years. As a Presiding Judge for the City of Lewisville, he will, most likely be available only for coverage as to jail magistrations. However, if need be, Judge Holman would be available for all court processes. Both Judge Holman and Attorney Alison Grant, as well as Judge Engler, Judge Bertrand and Judge Horton all understand that appointment as an Assistant Judge for the City of Denton is made without any guaranteed dockets or hours of service. Each have agreed to serve only assigned. As Judge Engler, Judge Horton and Judge Bertrand have all been previously appointed, I have not attached their resumes or vitae, but I can provide them to you upon request. I have attached both Brian S. Holman and Alison J. Grant's resumes for your consideration. While the Council may choose to take no action, or appoint someone else entirely, I have taken the liberty of revising an Ordinance of Appointment or Re- Appointment. This ordinance is substantially the same as in years past. This ordinance is submitted merely as a draft and is of course, more appropriately prepared or revised at the City Attorney's direction. OPTIONS The City Council may appoint any persons they feel are qualified and competent to serve in the capacity as Assistant Municipal Judge's for the City of Denton Municipal Court of Record. The Council could (1) Choose not to appoint any additional Assistant Judge's at this time; (2) Propose alternative candidates and appoint any other individuals to serve as alternate Municipal Judge, so long as those individuals meet all requirements as set forth in Chapter 30 of the Government Code. City of Denton Page 3 of 4 Printed on 1/29/2015 File #: ID 15 -114, Version: 1 (3) Choose to appoint all individuals currently serving as Assistant Municipal Judge as well as one additional nominee, Attorney Alison J. Grant. RECOMMENDATION It is the recommendation of the Judge's Office that the Council re- appoint all individuals currently serving as Assistant Municipal Judge as well as to appoint Attorney Alison J. Grant as a fourth Assistant Municipal Court Judge. ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT Effective upon appointment and adoption of ordinance. FISCAL INFORMATION The appointment or re- appointment of assistant municipal judges will have no fiscal or financial impact, as there are no additional costs or additional positions created. Any compensation will be derived from the currently budgeted amounts. BID INFORMATION Not Applicable. (Professional Services) EXHIBITS Exhibit l: Ordinance Exhibit 2: Resume of Alison J.

(CAI 1-0004) The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval of this request with conditions (5 -2). This item was continued from the January 6, 2015 meeting. BACKGROUND On January 6, 2015, the City Council continued their consideration of this item to their next regular meeting. The City Council requested more time to review the proposed conditions and to give staff an opportunity to clarify some of the conditions. Some of the conditions were more of statements rather than conditions. The City Council requested that staff provide an explanation of how these conditions can be incorporated into the draft Plan. Refer to conditions 438 through 447 below. Staff added language (identified in blue), explaining how the subject conditions are proposed to be incorporated into the draft Plan. In addition, staff added condition 458 as a result of a City Council Mobility Committee meeting. Inspired and informed by citizen values and aspirations, the Denton Plan 2030 sets a course to manage growth, promote reinvestment, and improve quality of life for the next two decades. While many of the goals and policies contained the draft Plan originated in the 1999 Denton Plan, Denton Plan 2030 establishes an updated Community Vision Statement and an optimal pattern of growth identified in the Preferred Growth Concept. Denton Plan 2030 addresses present issues identified by stakeholders and the community. The stakeholders and the community would like to retain its best and brightest youth, attract rewarding employment, and embrace growing diversity, all while balancing new development with reinvestment in its urban core and established neighborhoods. This is part of the updated Community Vision Statement. The future of Denton will be influenced by the degree to which the community's Vision and the Plan is successfully implemented. Denton Plan 2030 also addresses new challenges and opportunities, including the shifting demographics, changing lifestyle and housing preferences, the interface with two major universities, and the opportunity to encourage long -term sustainability by promoting compact, purposeful growth in centers and along corridors. Since the 1999 Denton Plan's adoption, Denton has experienced tremendous growth. Denton and the entire DFW Metroplex will continue to lead the nation in growth in the coming decades. Thus the need to put in place a framework that will ensure that the inevitable growth and change that will occur will strengthen the economy, City of Denton Page 1 of 9 Printed on 1/29/2015 File #: CA11- 0004f, Version: 1 enhance quality of life and livability, and positively affect the lives of the citizens of Denton. Through the updated Community Vision Statement and established Preferred Growth Concept, Denton Plan 2030 provides a guide for Denton to retain its character, improve the quality of life, and enhance the economy. The Denton Plan Update was initiated in early 2012. It was formally kicked off in August 2012 with an Open House. At the Open House the primary purpose was to raise public awareness of the importance of the Update, take the opportunity to inform the community of the various options to participate and provide input, and to encouraged participants to express their "likes" and "dislikes" about Denton. The input and feedback received at the Open House set the framework for the upcoming Community Forums. Denton Plan 2030 was developed in five phases, each included significant community involvement. The primary source of community involvement was through three series of Community Forums. The three Community Forums were staged to occur at key decision milestones to establish policy direction. The initial Community Forum was focused on informing the Community Vision Statement and the Preferred Growth Concept. A summary of each Community Forum, the activities held, input and feedback received, and the results are described in Exhibit I - Denton Plan 2030 Development Summary. Denton Plan 2030 builds upon the foundation established by the 1999 Denton Plan by updating the challenges of managing growth and change over the next two decades. It also takes into consideration new trends and conditions as well as the sentiment of the community. At the outset, key groups were formed to provide guidance during Plan development. These groups included the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC), Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), and Denton Plan Ambassadors (DPA), who continue to be the voices of the Plan. The CAC consists of 32 members appointed by City Council to represent a variety of community interest groups and constituencies. The CAC was established to advise the policy direction of the comprehensive plan from the perspective of key stakeholder groups within the community. The CAC met regularly to work with staff and the consultants to provide feedback and direction. The TAC consists of a group of senior staff of City of Denton Departments. These staff members provided technical advice throughout the planning process. Staff and the consultants met with the TAC at key milestones. The TAC also reviewed all deliverables created throughout the plan development to ensure accuracy and feasibility. To give all community members the opportunity to serve as leaders and advocates for Denton Plan 2030, and to engage more neighborhood and interest groups, the DPA program was established. The DPA was open to all community members and they met throughout the Plan's development to provide input and share information with the community groups that they represent. On November 5, 2014, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing and recommended approval of the Denton Plan Update with conditions. Conditions 41 through 437 are amendments that are being proposed by staff for clarification purposes. These amendments were drafted after the draft Plan was distributed to the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council. They are considered minor and do not conflict with any proposed goal or policy outlined in the draft Plan. Refer to Exhibit 3 - Staff, Planning and Zoning Commission, and City Council Conditions. Conditions 438 through 446 are based on discussion held during multiple Planning and Zoning Commission workshops and work sessions. These conditions are what the Planning and Zoning Commission would like changed to the draft Plan and what they would like to see accomplished as part of the implementation. 38.

At the Open House approximately 160 citizens participated to formally kick off the process to update the Denton Plan. While the primary purpose was to raise public awareness of the importance of the Update, staff took the opportunity to inform the community of the various options to participate and provide input. Community participants were also encouraged to express their "likes" and "dislikes" about Denton on post -it notes attached to display boards. The input received at the Open House set the framework for the upcoming Community Forums. After the Kickoff Open House, the City hosted several Community Forums. The first of three forums, Community Forum 1 (CFI) was held in November 2012 and later again in February 2013. To ensure maximum participation during each month, staff held a series of meeting (Thursday evening, Friday afternoon, and Saturday morning). In addition to the citywide CFI series of meetings, staff also hosted of meetings with UNT and with TWU. Over 200 citizens participated in CFI. CFI consisted of facilitated small group discussions, with the principal activity to engage the small groups of citizens to express their opinions about Denton at present and in the future through four specific topics: Denton at Present • Strengths: What present characteristics of Denton do we value? What are the qualities that we should retain as the community continues to grow and change? Weaknesses: What present conditions of our community do we characterize as problems or shortcomings requiring resolution? What deficiencies should we address and change? Denton in the Future • Opportunities: What could we do now that will make our community even better in the future? • Threats / Challenges: What conditions or trends do we see as potentially threatening to our community that we should prepare for or prevent? Participants were divided into small groups with facilitators, and the groups spent 15 to 20 minutes expressing ideas within their groups on each of the four topics and listed their responses on flip charts. Then, they were asked to group similar ideas together and to vote individually for their most important ideas. Essentially the group identified their "top three" ideas for each topic. The number of votes for each idea was recorded on the same flip charts and retained for staff to use during their analysis. The hundreds of ideas expressed at CFI were very diverse, but the ideas that tended to receive the largest number of "top three" votes revealed broad consensus on key issues, aspirations, and concerns. Using the input provided by the community at CFI, the City began updating Denton's Community Vision Statement. The Community Vision Statement is an expression of the community's collective values and aspirations and a description of what the community wants to become in the future. It answers the question "where do we want to be in 20307 Ultimately, it serves as the destination and roadmap for Denton Plan 2030. In addition to the input received from the community during CFI, the following community outreach activities were conducted to solicit input to help draft the Community Vision Statement and to confirm input and feedback received so far. • Kickoff Open House • Stakeholder Interviews • DentonPlan2030.com • Informational Community Meetings • Mobile Meetings • EngageDenton.com • Social Media (Facebook and Twitter) • Telephone Survey (300 participants) • Online Survey (175 participants) The CFI meetings concluded in April 2013. It was around this time that the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) and the Denton Plan Ambassadors (DPA) program were launched. The CAC is made up of 32 members, appointed by the City Council, to actively participate in the activities and events of the Denton Plan Update process. The primary responsibility of the CAC is to review prepared technical reports and documents and to provide feedback on the goals, recommendations, and strategies that will be developed throughout the Update process. On April 11, 2013, the CAC held their first meeting. Since their first meeting, the CAC has been involved in the review of key components of the Denton Plan Update process. The CAC has reviewed and provided feedback on the draft Community Vision Statement, the Growth Trend Scenario and the Alternative Growth Scenarios, the draft Preferred Growth Concept, and the draft Denton Plan Update document. Their guidance and involvement has been vital and will continue through the public hearing process and they will be a big part of the implementation of Denton Plan 2030. The DPA has also been meeting every other month since April 2013. There are currently 40 ambassadors that make up the DPA. The role of DPA is to discuss the current status of the Denton Plan Update, bring feedback to the group and staff for discussion, and take information to the community to keep them engaged and informed. Staff communicates regularly with the DPA regarding the status of the Update process and what the community should know about upcoming Denton Plan 2030 events so that DPA can assist with public outreach efforts. So far, they have provided valuable and useful feedback on several topics, such as existing and potential urban centers in Denton, the Denton brand, and ideas on what Denton's character is, through group exercises. They have assisted staff in getting word out about upcoming events and participated in all three Community Forums. In addition, the DPA has reviewed and provided feedback on documents, such as the draft Community Vision Statement, the draft Preferred Growth Concept and the draft Denton Plan Update document. After CFI, staff began working on the draft Community Vision Statement. The draft Vision Statement was further refined using input from the CAC, DPA, the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), City Council, Planning and Zoning Commission, and other Boards and Commissions. Once the draft Community Vision Statement was completed, it was made available online at DentonPlan2030.com for the community to review. This is a website dedicated to keep the community informed on the Update process. The draft Community Vision Statement was then presented to the Denton community at Community Forum 2 (CF2). Similar to CFI, the City hosted a series of meetings for CF2 in the Fall of 2013. To ensure maximum participation, staff held a series of meetings between October and November, which included two citywide meetings and meetings at UNT and TWU. At CF2 over 100 community members participated. CF2 gave the community an opportunity to review the draft Community Vision Statement and also to vote on their preferred form of growth for the future of Denton and the priorities and character that they felt were important for growth in an open house format. Each of the meetings was presented in the similar format in order to solicit input that can be compared equally. At CF2, participants visited five stations each one presenting important information. The following is a brief description of each of the five stations: Station l: Welcome - At this station the community was provided an overview of the Community Forum 2 open house, Community Forum 1, and a summary of the Draft Community Vision Statement. Community participants were given their own copy of the complete draft Community Vision Statement for review. The top five strengths, opportunities, weaknesses, and challenges from Community Forum 1 were listed at the station to provide context. Station 2: Understanding Scenarios - This station gave an introduction to the Growth Trend Scenario (i.e. "business as usual ") and the Alternative Growth Scenarios with illustrations of different densities and descriptions of development types. This information was intended to provide a frame of reference to evaluate the next stations. Station 3: Understanding the Fiscal Picture - This station illustrated the financial structure of the City of Denton and several aspects of the City's budget. Data regarding the City's financials was used to calculate the fiscal impact findings (i.e. cost to the city) for each Growth Scenario. Station 4: Comparing Alternative Scenarios - At this station the community was provided the opportunity for participants to vote on their preferred growth pattern for Denton. The Growth Trend Scenario and three Alternative Growth Scenarios were presented with explanatory text and a table of indicators. Indicators included initial findings on environmental and fiscal impact that helped inform participants' decisions in voting for their Preferred Scenario. The station concluded with a summary table of findings and an evaluation of each against the Community Vision Statement. Community participants were then asked to vote for their first and second choice Growth Scenario for their future Denton. Station 5: Community Character Considerations - This station explored four Community Character Considerations, which are elements impacting the urban environment that go beyond density and land use and may be implemented in any Growth Scenario. The four Considerations were developed from community desires described in the Community Vision Statement. Community participants were asked to vote for their first and second choice Community Character Consideration for their future Denton. The results from the input and feedback received at CF2 is summarized and presented online for the community to be kept informed. The input and feedback from CFI, the draft Community Vision Statement, the development of Alternative Scenarios, and the results of Community Forum 2 all contribute to the drafting of the Preferred Growth Concept. The Preferred Growth Concept is a conceptual vision for the form, character, and general location of development in the city that reflects the input and expressed preferences of the community. The Preferred Growth Concept is the future development pattern of the City of Denton over the next 15 to 20 years. Community participants at CF2 were strongly in support of a Compact Growth pattern for the City and for the clustering of development around key areas (i.e. Centers or Corridors). This general location of new development and areas for intensification was the basis for the update of the Future Land Use Map that is included in the Denton Plan Update document. The Compact Growth pattern was further supported by the prioritization of mixed -use development, linking the community through walkable pedestrian networks, the potential for jobs located closer to home, reducing commuting times, and creating balanced, mixed -use neighborhoods. Finally, the community confirmed that maintaining and increasing "Placemaking and Urban Vitality" is an essential attribute of their future Denton. This reinforces the need for maintaining a strong Downtown core and sense of place in existing character areas /focus centers of Denton. Allowing new development to be complementary to those areas, as well as providing areas of new development that can be centers of the community in the future. At CF2, the community participants voted for multi -modal transportation options, which are more easily accommodated through compact development, as well as protecting environmental resources through the inclusion of green infrastructure elements and conservation areas. These elements are included through goals and policies in the Denton Plan Update document, as they affect much more than just new growth. Through the placement of land uses, the draft Preferred Growth Concept encourages a shift towards more mixed -use development, bringing together compatible residential, commercial, office, institutional, and other uses within a walkable scale. On January 29, 2014, staff presented to City Council the results of CF2, the draft Community Vision Statement and the draft Preferred Growth Concept. At the meeting City Council provided comments on the Vision Statement and the Growth Concept and directed staff to move forward with the Update as presented. With the direction from City Council, utilizing the input and feedback from the community, the draft Community Vision Statement, and the draft Preferred Growth Concept, staff and the consultant team began working on drafting the Denton Plan Update document. Staffs objective is to improve the understanding and further the implementation of the Denton Plan. As part of drafting the Denton Plan Update document, staff updated the Future Land Use Map and the Future Land Use designations. The updated Future Land Use Map and Future Land Use designations reflect existing conditions and expressed community preferences. In addition to updating the Future Land Use Map and Future Land Use designations, staff and the consultant team updated the outline for the Denton Plan Update document. The draft outline contains ten Elements, one of which is an Implementation and Monitoring Element. In April 2014 a draft of the Denton Plan Update document was completed and review by the CAC, TAC, and DPA began. Since April the CAC and TAC held nine (9) meetings to review the draft document. The goal of the CAC was to come to a consensus on what is being recommended (goals, policies, and actions), to clarify with staff any questions that the committee may have, and to provide concise directions to forward to the consultant team if proposed changes were necessary. Similarly, the goal of the TAC was to review the technical recommendations as they related to their specific Department/Division, to clarify with staff any questions that the committee may have, and to provide concise direction to forward to the consultant team if proposed changes were necessary. The DPA and members of the Planning staff also met several times to review the draft document. After the individual committees and groups reviewed and provided questions, comments, and direction, a compiled list of the input and feedback was put together and forwarded to the consultant team to start reviewing and making revisions accordingly. After the consultant team revised the draft document a Public Review Draft was reviewed by staff again and ultimately revised and made available for the public to review prior to CF3. The Public Review Draft was made available online and also distributed to multiple public buildings for the community to access two weeks prior to CF3. At CF3 the Denton community had several opportunities to preview and celebrate the release of the Denton Plan 2030 Public Review Draft. Community members had several dates, times, and locations to attend CF3 to choose from. To ensure maximum participation the City hosted a series of meetings for CF3, similar to the previous Community Forums, see below. • Thursday, Sept. 11, 2014 from 6:30 — 8:30 p.m. at the Denton Civic Center, 321 E. McKinney Street. • Friday, Sept. 12, 2014 from 3 — 5 p.m. at the Denton Civic Center, 321 E. McKinney Street. Saturday, Sept. 13, 2014 from 9 — 1 p.m. at the Community Market, 317 W. Mulberry Street (as part of the Denton Community Market); and also from 10 — 1 p.m. at the Denton Civic Center, 321 E. McKinney Street (as part of Public Safety Day). At CF3 over 150 community members participated. The community members discussed key plan components and strategies. CF3 included boards that displayed the draft Community Vision Statement, the draft Future Land Use Map, and the draft Goals and Policies of the Plan. CF3 also included copies of the Public Review Draft for the community members to review and mark up. After CF3, staff immediately began preparing for the public hearing process with the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council. We are now in the fifth and final phase of the process. This phase includes incorporating input and feedback received from the community at CF3, final refinements from staff, review of the draft Plan from the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council, and ultimately adoption. ibit 2 f, µ {. iuN 2 p mmimoil� Denton µ . 111111 VIII VIII 111111 111111 IIII 111111 '° Illlli'° 111111 11111 IIPi IIPi III IIIk IIPi III' °° , 2014 DEM " "I " "F'' II M IIP 1 AN 21331) El L..

Accessibility: This is the ease with which people can access a full range of facilities such as shops, leisure, employment, and other public areas. Accessibility is affected by the location and distribution of uses; transportation choices, including facilities for less mobile people; the physical design of spaces and pedestrian circulation systems. New development will be accessible to the widest range of people both in terms of its location, the physical design of spaces and buildings, and its accessibility via transportation modes including bicycle, pedestrian, and transit. Health & Safety: A well - designed built environment can help to improve safety and security. An unsafe environment can discourage human activity and render a site unusable. Good lighting 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. Encourage self - policing and discourage crime by incorporating Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) strategies into building and site design. Connectivity: The number of alternative ways people are able to move through a community is a measure of its connectivity or permeability. New development should maximize permeability both within the site and in the neighborhood. Site design must be based on the promotion of wati(abitity and modal choice, including access to bicycle, pedestrian and transit networks and efficient use of existing paths and patterns of movement. New development is designed to complement the existing street grid network and maximize the choice of movement within and through the site. Paths into a site connect rather than forming a series of dead-ends. Cut-de-sacs are generally discouraged except under circumstances, such as the presence of topography, stream corridors or other barriers. New development will be expected to take advantage of opportunities to promote wati(abitity and modal choice, including access to bicycle, pedestrian and transit networks. Neighborhood Scale: A neighborhood is limited in physical size, with well-defined edges. The size of a neighborhood is generally defined as a five-minute wall( or one-quarter mite from the neighborhood edge to its center and a ten- minute wall( 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, particularly the aesthetic functions that include a sense of place. These neighborhoods will typically contain transit stops and will utilize transit-oriented design. Durability & 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 if 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. Variety: Architectural diversity and creativity should be encouraged to avoid homogeneity and sterility, white still mandating high- quality and sustainable construction. 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. Sustainability: Sustainabitity is a theme of Denton Plan 2030, as well as a priority for Denton. As such building and neighborhood designs should strive to achieve the highest possible standards for sustainabitity. In the design process, rating systems such as LEED for New Construction, LEED for Neighborhood Development, and Green BuittTm Texas should be consulted as a reference with the intent of incorporating as many green building elements as feasible.

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 city; • 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. Architectural Quality: The impact of architectural quality will strongly influence the quality of growth during the next twenty years. High- quality design and materials in all future development that will create attractive business destinations and encourage economic development for the future. The following architectural principles shall be used to guide decisions regarding design of structures: • High - quality architectural design should be encouraged. Innovation, creativity, and originality are considered to be primary ingredients of high- quality architecture. Unique or challenging design solutions will be welcomed. Such buildings are individualistic, provide contrast, and in these ways create local identity and contribute to local distinctiveness. • Careful consideration of proportioning, detailing, and context is important in designing buildings adjacent to historic buildings and within historic areas of the city by providing variety and defining space. • 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 corners should include major entrances, windows, or other features to create activity and visual interest at the ground floor level. • Design materials will be used and expressed authentically and appropriately with the use materials and design features indigenous to the region. Use high- quality, durable materials to ensure long -term quality and appreciation of local design. • The City will partner with developers on development projects and will actively explore the use of competitions in the development of significant public buildings 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. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Historic Precedent: Development should echo and complement the historic character of Denton's past, including materials, fenestration, scale, height, roof pitch, and street orientation. New buildings should demonstrate thorough knowledge of historical architectural information and context, but should not imitate older buildings. In the case of infill, materials, fenestration, scale, height, roof pitch, and street orientation should complement the character of the existing area. Consider the adaptive reuse of existing buildings and warehouse for all types of uses. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Building Scale and Orientation: Buildings should be oriented to address primary streets or thoroughfares in order to create a sense of presence on the street and create a strong street wall. In order for a street to achieve the intimate and welcoming quality of an outdoor room, the buildings along it should compose a suitable street wall. Building height should be sized in proportion to the width of the street and to the surrounding context of the neighborhood or block. 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 govern recess lines for upper stories, and transition lines, which denote a distinction between ground floors used for retail and the upper story floors for offices and apartments. Building massing and facade articulation should contribute to a fine - grained, pedestrian scale environment at the street level that promotes walkability. • Definition of Public Space: Buildings should be sited carefully to create a defined public realm. Build -to lines should be utilized to establish a consistent series of building facades and to shape outdoor spaces, including the street and areas for community gathering, including plazas, courtyards, and parks. 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.

Development should encourage bicycle and pedestrian access that contributes to efficient and safe travel for all modes. 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. • Entrances: Primary street entrances of all building types should front onto the primary street. In multi - family residential developments, ground -floor units should front onto and access the street, rather than having a shared entry and access from interior corridors. • Location of Parking: Residential garage structures should be located to the rear of the lot with alley access or employ shared driveways from public street frontages where there is no alley access. Garage entrances facing the street or those with side garage entrances accessed from a shared drive are set well back from the front facade so as to obscure views of the garage entry. • 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 and screened with planting. • Car -Free Development: Mixed -use development in the Downtown core and adjacent to universities should not require off- street parking, but rather should rely on on- street and shared parking along with transit, bicycle, and pedestrian use. • Service Areas: Solid waste containers should be located out of public view on private property, in areas specially designed to accommodate truck maneuvering. The use of innovative technologies to reduce the visibility of solid waste operations should be encouraged. Small Area Plans should contain strategies for solid waste improvements in existing developed areas. • Lighting: Install adequate and sufficient lighting throughout the area for added safety, visibility, and comfort. Lighting should complement the overall character and design of a building or neighborhood and not be visually intrusive to neighbors or the night sky. Lighting should be energy efficient. • Landscaping: Incorporate distinctive landscaping into the design of buildings when feasible, contributing a vibrant, inviting setting. Accentuate key focal points, entrances, gateways, and corners of a development with accent plant materials and trees. Use local planting materials and those requiring minimal maintenance to contribute to their long -term health and upkeep. • Signage: Design high quality signage that contributes to community identity, improves wayfinding, that is highly visible and legible. Require all signs within and around a development to be high quality, professionally designed, and creative symbols of community character. Limit attached and detached signage to achieve private advertisement and wayfinding but not clutter corridors and detract from community aesthetics. • Provision of Onsite Open Space: In commercial, multi - family residential, and mixed -use development, ensure the provision of shared open space and amenities in a central gathering location that is safe, well -lit, and accessible. Use shared open space as opportunities for community gathering, events (depending on the size), public art, and expression of community character. Elements of the Public Realm: In addition to the built environment, elements of the public realm are an essential element of the character of a city. The design of the public realm includes streets, sidewalks, parks and open space, and bridges and transportation structures. These elements should be designed to address their adjacent uses, be well appointed and maintained, and facilitate safe and accessible function for all modes. • Design of Bridges and Transportation Structures: Qualified and creative engineering input should be used in the design of mobility infrastructure, with interesting structural solutions, rather than the addition of decorative detailing to a standard structure.

Trees and other plantings will be properly coordinated with utilities to avoid conflicts with maintenance of the public right -of -way and competition for limited underground space. The City will fully consider the significant value of trees and the urban forest when resolving infrastructure conflicts; and select and plant appropriate tree species on public rights -of -way that maximize planting potential while protecting the safety of the public. Landscaping shaft promote tow- impact design, including water - efficient irrigation practices, the use of drought- tolerant planting materials, and permeable paving to promote the sustainable design of the public realm. • Adaptation to the Natural Environment: Development should complement natural topography and respect natural systems, including tree canopy. Development should be located outside of, the loo -year floodptain, including roadways. Rather developments adjacent to floodptains should establish green space between the road and the floodptain to serve as open space, limit flood exposure, and facilitate channel maintenance. Development should not remove valuable tree canopy, but rather contribute additional trees to the urban forest.

Many ofthe strengths identified in Community Forum 1 were also raised at the Kickoff Open House and can be found in elements ofthe current Denton Plan, including community, environment, access, history, and downtown vitality. Each element will be assessed for its progress, relevance, and future needs in the update process to ensure that we maintain and promote what people love about Denton as much as possible.

For instance, traffic and parking problems seem to remain a consistent issue today, while transit service and gas well proliferation have emerged as issues since the adoption of the current Denton Plan and will be incorporated in the update process.

Participants were asked to consider Denton's future in terms of its challenges and opportunities. Challenges: What conditions ortrends do we see as challenges that we should prepare for or prevent? Opportunities: What conditions or trends do we interpret as opportunities to make our community better in the future? As in Exercise 1, all of the participants' responses were written down and top "votes" were recorded for each issue to identify the top challenges and opportunities. Challenges Common themes that emerged from the list of top opportunities include: Community Forum 1 - November Series • Keeping pace with exponential growth (infrastructure, transportation, utilities, schools, housing, social services) • Keeping people in Denton • Threats /barriers to small businesses (codes, taxes, big box) • University expansion into neighborhoods • Maintaining quality education • Staying competiti\,e in the region Oobs, business, skilled workers) • Aging infrastructure • Attracting di\,erse housing options • Maintaining historic /cultural identity with new growth • Proliferation of gas wells hirough the Pr 01 itization exej� Fise, each table i the comments on each of the topic areas and voted a n [heii, 'top three" Bn order tae l fdianfily minirnunky ipriorft(es II acihtaWors led rhea foibles in finding coinni-ionalities, and encouraged gro: i or slii coinriiemit%, T - 0'v III v, November Series February Series Nominber Series Cr MMUnIty Forum 'I - Spanish Series • No Latinos in positions of authority • Illiteracy an increasing problern due to lack of recognition of needs of Latinos • Importance of recognizing Latinos as the a part of the future for the City Cr MMUnIty Forum 'I - Febiruaiy Series • Lack of funding resources • Balancing growth with quality of life • Protecting natural resources, rural character, green space • Flbreats to small businesses • Fear of change • Coordinating plans / visions between IDenton, universities, county, state, other municipalities, etc • Obstacles to redevelopment /green develOPITient • Air quality impacts • Allowing for diverse housing choices • Future energy and water demand • IDenton's image / Maintain downtown, eclectic atmosphere • Retaining and attracting young professionals • Socioeconomic status / changing demographics • Fraffic / downtown truck traffic / parking • Impacts of gas well drilling • Lifnited rail access • Need for social seNces Cr MMUnIty Forum 'I - L)niveii Seiries • Not enough support for independent businesses • Responsible development of'sustainability programs • Business community • Collaboration between UNT and TWU, and the City • Traffic, need to expand 1 -35 • Overly rapid growth to be accommodated by adequate infrastructure and sustainable development pattern • Attracting new businesses and employment opportunities • Policy approval/ city regulation • Transient population/ retention of university graduates • Preserving small town feel • Balanced land uses • Adequate water supply • Use and appreciation for public transit • School overcrowding • Need to get handle on climate change and mitigation • Pollution • Road quality • Maintenance of infrastructure Relevance to Denton Plan 2030: The Denton Plan 2030 update needs to consider negative trends that, if left unchecked in a growing community, could have serious impacts on the quality of life and economic health ofthe City. Another key component ofthe plan update is to address issues that are considered strengths, but may have facets that could prove challenging in the future. For example, the presence ofthe universities has been highlighted as a major strength in the community forum and other feedback opportunities, but the potential impacts of university expansion into adjacent neighborhoods was also highlighted as a major challenge to be addressed in the plan.

At the same time, local businesses and creative /unique entrepreneurs are also vital to Denton's future growth. Maintaining excellent access in the region via expressways and transit are also considered key to Denton's successful future, and improving connectivity between major activity nodes (universities, downtown, etc.) are important opportunities. Some participants also want to maintain Denton's unique image and natural systems while accommodating growth and economic development. Many ofthese issues are in elements ofthe current Plan that will be addressed and expanded upon in the update.

In simple terms, it represents a "what the future will look like if we do nothing different" scenario. This document describes how the City of Denton is expected to grow over the next 15 to 20 years, assuming growth continues in a pattern similar to recent decades. Key data inputs, assumptions, and steps that were taken to prepare the Denton Growth Trend Scenario are summarized in the following sections. The Growth Trend Scenario map (Figure 3) indicates, conceptually and in broad strokes, where residential and non - residential growth is most likely to occur. Existing Conditions and rrends The following facts, derived from data analysis of population and land use trends, were key in constructing the assumptions for the Growth Trend Scenario, as described later in this document: • Denton's population increased by 41 percent between 2000 and 2010, growing from 80,537 to 113,383 people. This was its most intense decade of growth since the 1960s. • New projections forecast an additional 93,951 residents by 2030. • Denton has a higher proportion of single - person households than Denton County and Texas as a whole. Thirteen percent of these were residents aged 65 or older. In the same year (2010), only 22 percent of Denton County's households and 25 percent of all households in the state of Texas were single - person households.' • The population of Denton is fairly young. The 18 to 24 age cohort comprised one quarter of the city's population in 2000 and 2010. However, the city's adult population has seen an increase in the number of older residents, generally due to the aging of the baby boomer generation. • These demographic shifts involve changes in housing preferences that Denton's housing market does not meet today, such as more multi - family housing and units for singles and young families. ' Population projects were derived from the report Economic and Demographic Projections for the City of Denton: An Update, " Prepared by Center for Economic Development and Research; University of North Texas. April 2011. Data were based on the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey, 2010. "Dclnton flan 4 .. 2 OV f utrurc, DRAFT • Denton has annexed over 20,500 acres of land since 1999. • Between 1967 and 2000, a total of 24 natural gas well permits were issued in the City of Denton. Between 2000 and 2010, almost 500 permits were issued. Development opportunities are limited in areas with high concentrations of natural gas wells and associated pipelines. rrend Factors and Methodollogy 1. Projected Population and Housing / Non-Residential Growth In order to estimate the 15- to 20 -year development pattern that is likely to occur in Denton in a "business as usual" scenario, the Growth Trend Analysis begins with an estimate of future housing demand based on specific factors including current and projected population, household size, and existing housing units. Table 1 illustrates the data and calculations used to arrive at projected 2030 housing demand, which is a factor of projected population growth (projected minus existing population) divided by existing household size. As indicated in Table 1, it is estimated that Denton will need an additional 37,282 housing units to accommodate its projected population in 2030.

Residential Dammed The next step in the Growth Trend Analysis involves estimating projected housing unit demand by type (single family, multi - family, and other) and the associated land area required to accommodate it. Table 2 shows the projected residential units by type as a proportion of existing (2011) units. For instance, 54 percent of existing units are single family and 54 percent of projected units will be single family, resulting in about 20,000 additional single family units by 2030. Using the existing proportion of housing types reflects the status quo of development patterns in the city. Projected units were then multiplied by the existing acres per unit to arrive at the projected acreage needed to accommodate each housing type. Projected acreage was then adjusted to accommodate an additional 25 percent land area to incorporate associated roads /infrastructure. As shown in Table 2, the greatest housing demand is in the category of single family detached, which will also require the vast majority of land area in the future.

Non-Residential Dammed Next, the Growth Trend Analysis determined the amount of non - residential development needed within the next 15 to 20 years. This calculation was done by applying the current proportion of residential to non - residential development (in acres) to the new residential area (in acres) projected in Table 2. This resulted in a combined total of 5,282 acres needed for commercial, industrial, and institutional development to support residential growth in Denton. The summary of calculations is shown in Table 3. Table 3 - Non - Residential Demand by Type (1) Source: City of Denton GIs (2) Existing dev. non - residential acres / total existing dev. residential acres (3) % of existing dev. residential area x new residential acres Note: It is assumed that some major institutions that already encompass significant portions of land within the city (26% of the total institutional land) would not continue to grow in the some proportional rate to other uses within the city. 4. Land Consumption The total amount of new land that will be needed to absorb Denton's projected growth is summarized in Table 4 — Land Consumption. This combines the new residential and non- residential development calculated as described above. A total of 16,061 acres will be needed to accommodate Denton's projected 2030 growth. The estimated location of this new growth, as depicted in the Growth Trend Scenario, is expected to follow similar patterns of development to recent trends. The scenario is depicted in Figure 3 and was developed based on a combination of factors, including the Projected Population and Housing /Non - Residential Growth analysis, Susceptibility to Change analysis, and assumptions for placing growth. This methodology is described in Sections 5 and 6 below. "Dclnton flan 4 .. 2 OV 11RA21 Table 4 - Land Consumption (1)Total Municipal Acreage (2) Existing residential acres (3) Source: American Community Survey 5 -year estimates (4) Average acres per unit (developed residential area / total units) (5) Projected new dwelling units (2011 -2030 population change /household size) (6) New residential area = (average acres per unit x new dwelling units) (7) New non - residential acreage estimated at 69% of new residential area 5. .Susceptibility to Change Analysis The Growth Trend Scenario assumes that much of the necessary growth in Denton would occur in areas that are undeveloped, unconstrained, and located within the city limits (note that it is assumed that the non - annexation agreement areas will be annexed by 2030). In order to estimate the areas where growth would occur beyond that, a Susceptibility to Change analysis was conducted, examining the geographic areas most suitable for development and likely to change. The analysis is informed by layering a number of susceptibility indicators including natural features, topography, and floodplains, areas of existing or planned development, access to existing roads and infrastructure, and amenities. This methodology is described below: Methodology Using GIS, WRT created a series of raster files representing each of the selected susceptibly indicators. Each file was given a numeric score from 0 to 10 to weight how likely the indicator is to influence development. The higher the score, the more likely the land will be developed in the future. Each indicator used in the analysis is described below: Out of Bounds Areas: The analysis assumes certain portions of the city are out of bounds and not susceptible to future development or redevelopment patterns. This land includes waterways and existing parks. The "out of bounds" areas are excluded from the analysis and are shown in white on the map (Figure 2). E.. 4 .. 2 OV t.u� futrurc, 11RA29 Excluded: • Waterways: Includes undevelopable waterways and bodies of water such as Hickory Creek, Cooper Creek, Pecan Creek, and the Trinity River as well as ponds and small lakes. The scale of analysis includes a buffer around these waterways that are also excluded. • Parks: Publicly owned parks within the City of Denton. Factors of Susceptibly: After excluding the areas considered out of bounds, the Susceptibility to Change analysis was applied to remaining lands within the city. Specific portions were given a low susceptibility score, meaning these areas are considered least likely to change in the future. Lands within the lowest susceptibility areas were given a score of '0' to indicate their likeliness of being developed. This score was defined given that individual susceptibility indicators do not increase the susceptibility of land to develop. Lands with higher susceptibility were given a higher score, with '10' representing the highest susceptibility. As such, each individual factor may or may not contribute to any given area's likelihood of development. All factors were weighted equally with areas likely to change of a higher value than those where change is not likely. These factors are illustrated in Figure 1 and described below. Environmentally Sensitive Areas: Existing areas of environmental sensitivity include the 100 -year floodplain identified in the preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMS), as well as upland and water - related habitat. As development near the ESA's is discouraged, susceptibility decreases as proximity to the ESA's increases. Slope: There are a number of areas in Denton that have slopes greater than 25 percent which typically make development more cumbersome. Although Denton is not a city particularly limited by topography, this factor was still included to inform the Analysis. Susceptibility decreases as slope increases. • Gas Wells and Pipelines: Gas wells and pipelines have proliferated in and around the City of Denton in recent decades. While the impact of gas wells and pipelines on future development is still unknown, they have the potential to impact where future development is allowed. Therefore, susceptibility decreases as proximity to concentrations of gas wells and pipelines increases. Proximity to Roads: Land in proximity to existing roads is more likely to develop given that access is a primary factor in an area's desirability for development. Areas with access to 1 -35E and 1 -35W are particularly susceptible to change. Susceptibility decreases as distance from roads increases. E.. 4 .. 2 OV t.u� futrurc, Non - annexation Agreement Areas: In the City of Denton, the Annexation Plan includes land that may be annexed in the future. If the City does not act on its intent to annex, the City will lose the ability to annex said land. Therefore, the analysis treated land within non - annexation agreements as equally as likely to develop as land within the city. (Note: this is the area previously referred to as the 5 -year Annexation Plan). 11RA29 • Proximity to Existing Development: Land in close proximity to existing development signifies importance of land use adjacency and development trends as to where new development will occur. Susceptibility increases as proximity to existing development increases. Proximity to Schools: Areas close to existing schools are desirable for residential development as they offer a key facility needed to attract new residents. While additional schools will be provided as development increases, development is more likely to occur where a school already exists. Susceptibility increases as proximity to schools increases. Water and Sewer Service Areas: Development is more likely to occur where infrastructure already exists. Susceptibility increases within current Water and Sewer Service Areas. Once the Susceptibility to Change analysis was conducted, the overall analysis was applied to the entire city using each susceptibility indicator added together to obtain a cumulative "score" of susceptibility. Land that was considered particularly susceptible likely fell under multiple categories of susceptibility and thus was ranked the highest. The individual susceptibility layers are shown in Figure 1, and the combined susceptibility results are overlaid in the composite Susceptibility to Change map shown in Figure 2.

The projected growth was placed throughout the city according to the development types allowed by the city's current zoning. All of the existing zoning districts of similar character were grouped together to coincide with the projected residential and non - residential demand categories in Table 1 and Table 2 to determine where future development would go. The total land area for each category was placed in the undeveloped areas within these grouped zoning districts according to their level of susceptibility to change. For example, Denton has over 20,000 acres of undeveloped land currently zoned for low- density residential uses (including approved Master - Planned Communities, and agricultural areas). According to the growth projections identified in Table 2, there will only be a demand for 8,663 acres of single family residential development over the next 15 to 20 years. Therefore the growth in this category is placed in the undeveloped areas zoned for single family residential with the highest susceptibility until the total demand of 8,663 acres is reached. This process is repeated for each of the five projected land use categories identified in Figure 3. To depict a realistic vision of where growth might occur, the following assumptions were made. Institutional Development: For the purposes of this analysis, the Growth Trend Scenario does not attempt to locate projected institutional land uses, it is assumed that projected institutional development, such as schools, is incidental to residential development and is incorporated with single family residential uses on the map. It is also assumed that growth associated with institutions such as hospitals and universities will be contained within their existing footprint, or will occur in a case -by -case manner that is beyond the ability of this exercise to predict. Non - annexation Agreement Areas: It is assumed that this land will be annexed by the City by 2030 and is considered as likely to develop as other land within the city even though these areas do not currently have a zoning designation. It is assumed that highly susceptible, undeveloped land in these areas will contain predominantly single family development with small percentages of commercial, institutional, and other residential development. (Note: this is the area previously referred to as the 5 -year Annexation Plan). 10 Dclnton -Plan OE 0 V Ou� futurc, Figure 3 Sanger Lake Ray Robods Notth Nw''rroraG _. tv ,/j r, ......

Fiscal Analysis Zones After refinement of the Growth Trend Scenario, a Fiscal Impact Analysis will be conducted to quantify the costs of serving future development based on the "business as usual" pattern of growth. The Fiscal Impact Analysis model requires that the Growth Trend Scenario to be divided into discrete geographic areas, or Fiscal Analysis Zones. Fiscal Analysis Zones are areas within the City that share similar characteristics and that allow the analysis to reflect differences due to geography. As indicated in Figure 3, the Fiscal Analysis Zones that have been proposed for Denton include the Core, North, South, East, and West zones.

Refine Allternative Growth Concepts Mixwl -Use Centers t,ww� Using concept direction, WRT refined growth concepts based on input from City staff, proposed developments and infrastructure improvements, and examination of development potential of key areas within the City. Based on this input, three distinct scenarios are created: Centers, Corridors, and Compact. These scenarios are intended to be conceptual and illustrate three discernible options that can direct future urban form and future investment. 1 Dclnton -Plan E 0 M OV Ou� iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillillillillillillilliillillillillillillillillillillillilillillillillillillilliillillillillillillilliillillilillillillillillillillillilillillillillillillilliillillillillillillilliillillilillillillillillillillillilillillillillillillilliililI Figure 2 - Centers Centers Dutton Fllw�i s 1w "Ooll, . . . . ......... . . . - --- - - ----- City of Denton Non-annexation fteeffient Area Existing DevOopment H I g hw a y Ma�w Rwid Rakroad ---- Manned Road EP UU 37 "WOV'N" AAl 377 ill .... . .... . /,/ ............... - ............ . . ............................................................................

For example, the Growth Trend projected that the same proportion of single - family residential, multi - family, and other residential typologies would remain consistent. In the alternative scenarios, this proportion will be adjusted to reflect the community's input and expressed interest in more managed, and balanced growth in a compact, walkable, development pattern. The Compact Alternative added an additional higher- density land use in order to accommodate projected number of housing units within the most compact development form. These ratios are shown in Table 1. Commercial, industrial, and institutional development proportions are unchanged from the Growth Trend Scenario. These land uses support residential development, as calculated by total number of housing units, which are unchanged from the Growth Trend.

Capacity Studies and Allocating Growth Once the general location of new development areas were identified with input from Denton city staff, WRT determined where growth could be accommodated under each of the scenarios. Growth was placed based on underlying land use, surrounding context, zoning, and avoiding environmentally — sensitive areas. Growth was placed first in vacant or undeveloped areas. Rather than in the Growth Trend where the "susceptibility to change" determined where new development would go, growth in the Alternatives Scenarios followed the proposed urban framework (Centers, Corridors, Compact) as the key influence, and in some situations resulted in redevelopment or a change in zoning. Also proportions of redevelopment were suggested based on relative obsolesce of buildings and commercial zones, or where a greater amount of density was needed to be consistent with the framework of the scenario. It is important to note that redevelopment is a "best guest" assumption, but does not suggest that stable neighborhoods and commercial areas, universities, or historic properties would be affected. In no case is development proposed in Environmentally - Sensitive Areas, even if development is already located there. All scenarios also acknowledged the widening of I -35E and the 500' right - of -way that would be required, which limited growth around highways. Areas where a concentration of gas wells exists was also assumed to be less likely to support residential growth. The capacity of Centers and Corridors are illustrated in the Tables 3 and 4 below. The Alternative Scenarios assume that much of the necessary growth would be accommodated in a compact development pattern, but that there would still be land needed in the periphery to accommodate a portion of the growth. Once the amount of land totaled to occur in identified "Dclnton -Plan OV4 .. Centers and /or Corridors was calculated, the remaining necessary land needed for growth will was placed in approved subdivisions and where no environmental constraints existed.

This is shown in Table 5 and described below. Table 5- Compact Alternative Development Capacity Developable Area in Compact Growth Scenario Total Area in Core 23,344 - ESAs 3,621 - Infrastructure (25 %) 5,836 Remaining 13,887 - Industrial Land Use 1,111 Developable Area 12,776 - Undeveloped Land 5,113 Area to be Redeveloped 7,663 Development Demand in Compact Growth Scenario Residential 6,414 Non - Residential 4,126 - Industrial Land Use 1,111 Total Land Demand 9,432 - Undeveloped Land 5,113 Remaining Demand 4,319 Area to be Redeveloped/ Remaining Demand 4,319/9,432 % Redevelopment 56% The goal of the Compact Scenario was to accommodate all proposed growth with the "core" of the city— meaning within Loop 288 and the proposed completion of Loop 288 west of 1 -35. This area was estimated in GIS to be 23,344 acres. Reducing this area by 25% for infrastructure, as listed in Table 1 and 2 assumptions, 5,836 acres were subtracted. The total acres of parks and Environmentally - Sensitive Areas within the "core" amounted to approximately 3,621 acres, which was also subtracted from the developable area. The assumption was made that industrial land use density would not change, so this total demand of 1,111 acres was included in this scenario. Thus, the resulting area on which development could occur, even in existing areas, is 12,776 acres. Using the density yield from Table 1 and 2 for the Compact Trend, a total of 9,432 acres would be needed to accommodate residential, commercial, and institutional uses. This is broadly assuming that the proportion of both residential and non - residential demand and density will shift. Those percentages are shown in Table 1. It is assumed that the density of commercial "Dclnton -Plan 4 .. 2 OV t.u� futrurc, uses will increase as well, as most development will be compact rather than suburban in nature. Thus the compact trend assumed that half of the amount of commercial acreage would be needed (1,155 acres). Again, it is assumed that industrial land use density would not change, so this total demand of 1,111 acres was included in this scenario and is allocated in the same locations as in the other alternatives. A total of 5,113 acres are undeveloped within the "core," as measured in GIS. Therefore, development would go there first, leaving 4,319 acres that must be allocated in redevelopment areas. Removing these 5,113 acres from the 12,776 of developable land leaves 7,663 of currently developed land that must accommodate redevelopment. In order words, 4,319 acres of new growth must occur within 7,663 acres that currently contains development, yielding 56% redevelopment of the existing built environment. 4. fflustr tenon of Scenarios Once the detailed analysis was completed, the scenarios must be illustrated in a format that creates a clear picture of where growth could be concentrated in the future, and appear distinctly different from one another. Therefore, the location of growth is generalized in a graphic format to show relative size and proportion of development as calculated in the detailed analysis. These will be presented at Community Forum 2. Once the preferred scenario is determined, more specific allocations of land uses will be will be developed in preparation of the Final Plan. The scenarios are illustrated simply to show that development can be accommodated in the framework suggested. Land uses are grouped to show a range of density and "mixing." This means that as density increases, so does the amount of mixed -use development. Also, land uses in the scenarios are not meant to be interpreted as single uses, but rather to illustrate a range of potential uses. As an example, low- density residential areas can include single - family residential in addition to schools and parks. Similarly, commercial areas can include a range of retail types, commercial offices, and employment locations. Land uses are illustrated generally, because the scenarios are meant to illustrate general locations of land uses. Developing more specific locations of potential future land uses will be included as part of the Preferred Scenario and Final Plan. . Character Overlays Once future land use has been placed according to the above methodology, the Alternative Scenarios will then be depicted to incorporate a series of character overlays that demonstrate high priority future development considerations, as expressed during Community Forum 1. These character overlays are important for determining future development character, but do not change the allocation of land use. These key themes include: Green Infrastructure Mobility 10 "Dclnton -Plan 4 .. 2 OV t.u� futrurc, • Placemaking Diagrams will be developed to illustrate these overlays as "constants" within the land use alternatives. The community will be asked to prioritize these items on a scale of 1 to 5 during Community Forum 2 to confirm that these should be included as part of Alternative Scenarios. 11 "Dclnton -Plan 4 .. 2 OV G. u� f utruf,f, 12 -9 -13 Denton Plan 2030 Preferred Growth Concept Methodology At Community Forum 2, held in October and November 2013, the public reviewed the Growth Trend Scenario and three alternatives to the Trend: 1) Centers Growth, 2) Corridors Growth, and 3) Compact Growth. The Growth Trend depicts where growth and development are most likely to occur over the next 15 to 20 years based on "susceptibility to change" factors, with no change to past trends and policies. The three alternatives to the trend, developed with the results of Community Forum Series 1 and guidance from the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) and the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), illustrate options for development patterns that use land more efficiently, promote mixed uses, and are more walkable, compact and fiscally responsible. Community Forum Series rwo Community Forum Series 2 was held at four events during October and November 2013. Approximately 100 total participants attended four open houses to learn about the issues facing Denton, and to express preferences regarding land use development scenarios and community character. The open houses included brief presentations and an opportunity for participants to learn about the growth and development trends in Denton, talk with the consultants and City of Denton staff, and to share their opinions about development. The open houses featured 5 stations with 41 informational or input boards. Stations 1 contained information about the Plan Update process, Station 2 provided background information on land use and density decisions, and Station 3 contained information about the budget and organizational structure of the City. Station 4 contained information and indicators on each of the scenarios on which participants were asked to vote. Indicators included initial findings on environmental and fiscal impact that helped weigh participants' decisions in voting for alternative futures. Station 5 presented options for Community Character, or elements of the city's environment, design, and mobility patterns that could be applied to any scenario. Participants were asked to vote on each which of these community character elements was most important to include. Voting was conducted using dots. A questionnaire was also distributed at the end of CF2 that allowed participants to share comments and feedback about the process and about the scenarios. The following tables summarize results from the open houses sessions. Approximately 100 community members voted for their preferred future scenario and community character considerations. Community Forum 2 Results Station 4's Preferred Land Use Scenario Votes Upon viewing and evaluating the four land use scenarios based on the information presented in Station 4 as well is the information from Stations 2 and 3, participants were asked to vote on "Dclnton flan 4 .. d OV 12 -9 -13 their preferred land use scenario for the future of Denton. Participants were able to vote for a first and second choice. The tally of the voting is shown in the table below.

This scenario was followed by Centers Growth (29 %) and Corridors Growth (26 %), each with just over a quarter of all votes. The Growth Trend received the least number of votes at 12 %. This information will be used to shape the Preferred Growth Concept that will be used to guide the development of the Future Land Use Plan for Denton. Station 4's Development Priorities Votes To gain a better understanding of why someone voted for a particular Scenario, participants were asked to vote for their top three priorities for future development in Denton. The results of this voting process are shown in the table below. What acre youir oveirallll priorities for ffutuire development in Denton?

"Dclnton flan 4 .. d OV t.u� futruf,c, Percentages are rounded. Based on the total number of votes, the top three priorities were: 1) Increased Walkability and Trails (22 %); 2) Jobs Close to Home and Accessibility by Walking and Transit (18 %); and 3) More Mixed use (17 %). These key priorities will be used to refine the Preferred Growth Concept, ensuring that the priorities will be able to be met with the proposed development pattern. The emphasis that the community placed on these development priorities will also help determine the importance of weighing the elements of the Preferred Concept and eventually including policies related to these themes in the Denton 2030 Plan. Station 5's Community Character Considerations Votes Community Character Considerations are items that can be implemented in any Growth Scenario that reflect important issues specific to Denton. Similar to the land use scenarios, community members were asked to vote for their first and second choices for those items that were "Very Important" (First Choice) to include within the Preferred Concept and those that were also "Important" (Second Choice). As with the land use scenarios, a weighted approach was used to determine overall score in which first choice votes were counted twice and second - choice votes once. The voting for Community Character Considerations revealed the following preferences: What is youir First Choice Coirnirnuinity Character EIleirneint "Veiny iirnpoirtaint?"

Although Conservation received the fewest number of votes, it received the highest number of "Dclnton flan 4 .. 2 OV 12 -9 -13 second choice votes, demonstrating that it was still an important item for many community members. Summary The input received at Community Forum 2 was very insightful for informing the future development pattern of the City of Denton over the next 15 -to -20 years. Community members were strongly in support of a Compact Growth pattern for the city, and for the clustering of development around key areas (i.e. Centers or Corridors) rather than fragmented sprawl as shown in the Growth Trend. A Compact development framework was further supported by the prioritization of mixed -use development, linking of the community through walkable pedestrian networks, and the potential for jobs located closer to home, reducing commuting times and creating balanced, mixed -use neighborhoods. Finally, the community confirmed that maintaining and increasing "Placemaking and Urban Vitality" is an essential attribute of their future Denton. This reinforces the need for maintaining a strong Downtown core and sense of place in existing character areas of Denton, allowing new development to complement those areas, as well as providing areas of new development that can be centers of community in the future. The desire for a Compact Growth pattern was further reinforced by the community's voting for multi -modal transportation options, which are more easily accommodated through compact growth, as well as protecting environmental resources through the inclusion of Green Infrastructure elements and Conservation areas. Many of these elements can be acknowledged through policy in the updated Denton 2030 Plan, as they affect much more than just new growth. "Dclnton -Plan 4 .. 2 OV t.u� futrurc, 101M What is the Preferred Growth Concept? The Preferred Growth Concept is a conceptual vision for the form, character and general location of development of the City that reflects the input and expressed preferences of the community participants. The general location of new development and areas for intensification will be the basis for the development of a Future Land Use Map that will be included in the Denton 2030 Comprehensive Plan Update. Process The Preferred Growth Concept combines various aspects of each of the scenarios and community character elements that received the highest number of votes. Additionally, comments received through the questionnaire distributed at CF2 helped add detail to formulation of the Preferred Concept. The refinement of the scenarios and the creation of the Preferred Growth Concept involves both the creation of a graphic combination of the scenarios, and the creation of a distribution of land uses demonstrating development capacity. The distribution of land uses will then be used in order to calculate the fiscal impact of the Preferred Concept, which can be compared to each of the four scenarios. The Compact Scenario received the highest number of votes at 33 percent of votes. As a result, this scenario provides a strong basis for the development of the Preferred Growth Concept. Adjustments were made to this base to incorporate elements of the Centers and Corridors growth scenarios which were considered to be the first or second choice by 29% and 26% of votes, respectively. The voting for the Centers and Corridors revealed that the community is interested in seeing development clustered around distinct locations, such as Corridors and Centers, rather than haphazard sprawl. In the creation of the Alternative Scenarios, development capacity studies were conducted in order to ensure that the projected amount of development could be accommodated under each scenario in the locations shown. The Growth Trend was created based solely on the "susceptibility to change" analysis, while the Alternatives Scenarios depicted more compact 12 -9 -13 "Dclnton flan 4 .. Z OV t.u� futrurc, growth occurring in more purposeful patterns (Centers, Corridors, Compact). Growth was placed based on underlying land use and zoning, surrounding context, and avoiding environmentally – sensitive areas. Growth was placed first in vacant or undeveloped areas, and then was placed in areas that could potentially redevelop. These steps are repeated for the Preferred Growth Concept, to assure that the projected development and the locations shown were feasible. Factors evaluated in this process included: • Existing land use • Context evaluation using aerial maps • Existing zoning • Approved subdivisions • Environmentally - sensitive areas • Vacant or underutilized areas • Areas adjacent to 1 -35 that could be affected by its widening • Areas adjacent to corridors currently being upgraded (i.e. Teasley and Mayhill) • Areas of gas well proliferation • Areas otherwise likely to redevelop • Areas in the vicinity of areas identified as important for placemaking and urban vitality In each scenario, the amount of projected land use that is needed to match population growth had to be achievable. These development amounts —of both residential and non - residential land uses —were consistent throughout the scenarios. The total amount of residential units and non - residential acreage will be met within the Preferred Growth Concept as well, with the proportions of development most closely matching the preferences of the community. The development capacity analysis will be conducted using GIS and will accompany the Preferred Growth Concept map, as well as the location of development according to Fiscal Impact Zone. In addition to simply accommodating land use, the Preferred Growth Concept also weighs the priorities of the community in choosing the land uses scenarios. In Community Forum 2, the highest priorities included "Increased Walkability and Trails (22 %)," "More Mixed Use (17 %)," and "Jobs Close to Home and Accessible by Walking and Transit (18 %)." Through the placement of land uses, the draft Preferred Growth Concept will encourage a shift towards more mixed -use development, bringing together compatible residential, commercial, office, institutional, or other uses within a walkable scale. The direction of the Preferred Growth Concept will allow for increased pedestrian activity, reduced car trips for short distances, expanded housing choices, and opportunities for an expanded pedestrian and transit network. Finally, inputs of the Community Character preferences help refine the Preferred Growth Concept. The voting for the Community Character considerations revealed a desire for " Placemaking and Urban Vitality" (38 %), "Multi -modal Access (22 %)," and "Green Infrastructure" (22 %) in the community. Conservation received 18% of the weighted votes and the highest amount of second - choice votes, indicating that it was still very important to the community. This underscores the importance of a diversity of building types, sensitivity to the 12 -9 -13 "Dclnton flan 4 .. 2 OV t.u� futrurc, 12 -9 -13 environment, and an appreciation for areas for community gathering to be included throughout Denton. Locations of existing and potential areas of urban vitality also help to refine the location and character of potential development areas illustrated within the Preferred Growth Concept as well as potential areas for conservation, multi -modal access and the green infrastructure network. These are illustrated as they appeared on the boards for Community Forum 2, overlaid with the preferred land use and development framework. The Preferred Growth Concept will also be informed by the Fiscal Impact Analysis that was conducted concurrently with the aforementioned process. Order of magnitude development costs were shared with the community at CF2, corresponding to each scenario, so served as a source of information for scenario evaluation. The votes received by the community demonstrate that the most fiscally sound scenario —the Compact Growth Scenario —was the most popular. However, in the voting of land use priorities, "Lower Infrastructure and Service Costs" received only 5% of votes, showing that this was not the most important consideration for the determination of their votes. The fiscal impact findings are will help determine the scenario(s) that are most fiscally responsible, which will serve as one means of defining the manner of directing the location of development and the Preferred Growth Concept. Within the Denton 2030 Plan document, the Preferred Growth Concept will precede the Land Use Plan, appearing either in the discussion of the Vision or within the introduction section on Land Use. The concept is meant to serve as an overarching framework for development. It is not the Final Land Use plan, but rather a conceptual diagram to demonstrate how the land use plan will be refined and updated to meet the needs of the community for the next 15 to 20 years. 7 Plati Our path lo the fulwo Pnaperod bytho City ofDonuon' D000mbor 2014 Exhibit 3 Staff, Planning and Zoning Commission, and City Council Conditions Conditions 41 through 437 are amendments that are being proposed by staff for clarification purposes.

Exhibit 4 Minutes Planning and Zoning Commission November 5, 2014 After determining that a quorum was present, the Planning and Zoning Commission convened a Work Session on Wednesday, November 5, 2014 at 5:00 p.m. in the City Council Work Session Room at City Hall, 215 E. McKinney Street, Denton, Texas at which time the following items were considered: PRESENT: Chair Thom Reece.

STAFF: Brian Lockley, Athena Green, Aaron Leal, Darren Groth, Ron Menguita, John Cabrales, Jr., Nana Appiah, Earl Escobar, Mike Bell, and Sophie Huemer. WORK SESSION Chair Reece called the Work Session to order at 5:03 p.m. 1. Clarification of agenda items listed in the Regular Session agenda for this meeting„ and discussion of issues not briefed in the written backup materials. Commissioner Dudowicz stated he has questions for the Consent Agenda; he referred to Consent Agenda Item 3A. He stated he has concerns with the road signs, the flow of traffic, and traffic issues. He stated Ryan Road will be congested. The stop sign at Country Club Road gets backed up. Lockley stated as part of those developments in the platting process, those issues are addressed. If there is a cost involved for those intersection improvements those fees get paid at that time. Dudowicz stated there are current businesses and properties there, and a lot of proposed developments; however, there are no streets to the area. Lockley stated staff is aware. Dudowicz questioned if it is a Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) issue; Lockley confirmed. Escobar stated the set date for the road expansions to Teasley Lane is 2017; it will be widened to six lanes. He stated the City is working on installing a signal at the intersection of Country Club Road and Ryan Road. Conner questioned a way to become familiar with TxDOT staff to know what is proposed for the streets. Escobar stated there is a consultant the City hires that works with TxDOT and the City. Conner requested reports from that individual. Earl sated his name is John Polster. Reece stated he is familiar with him; he does work for the County as well. Escobar stated Mark Nelson; the Director of the Transportation Department also would have information to provide. There was no further discussion. 2. Receive a report and hold a discussion regarding the Denton Plan Update. (Ron Menguita) Staff Ron Menguita provided an 11 x 17 handout to the Commissioners. He stated he had no formal presentation; he would just discuss the conditions. He stated conditions 41 -32 are amendments that are being proposed by staff for clarification purposes. These amendments were drafted after the draft Plan was distributed to the Planning and Zoning Commission. They are considered minor and do not conflict with any proposed goal or policy. Menguita listed the conditions. Commissioner Strange questioned if there is a process for the individuals within an area to potentially be rezoned to appeal those changes. Menguita stated the property owners are involved during the process of the rezoning. Strange questioned if they changed their mind during the process; Menguita stated he would research that. He stated conditions for that could be added to the motion. Menguita stated the Denton Plan Update will need to come before this Commission on an annual basis. Briggle questioned when the Citizens Advisory Committee and Technical Advisory Committee meet; Menguita stated currently they meet every other month; sometimes quarterly. Briggle suggested that they meet more frequently in the beginning implementation process. Menguita agreed. Menguita stated if there are no conditions the item will move forward for the Public Hearing item during the Regular Meeting. Conner stated he would like to make a recommendation during the Public Hearing. Taylor referred to the zoning categories on the draft map. He stated specifically he sees non- residential, commercial uses appear to align with the Commercial Mixed Use General uses. Menguita referred to the map stating pink is the mixed use areas and red is the commercial uses. Taylor stated some of the properties are three to five acre parcels; he questioned if the ability for mixed uses. Menguita stated staff will ensure that the zoning will dictate the uses on the ground level. He stated if staff needs to review each one and that process makes more sense it would be used. He stated this is one of the siding factors in the zoning. Taylor questioned if a region by region portion of the City will be evaluated as a public process or input. Menguita stated yes, that is the next step. He stated if it isn't done at one time it would be done in quadrants. Bentley referred to the inconsistency in the document of wording transitioning and compatibility. Menguita stated staff will correct all of those; it should be compatibility rather than transition. There was no further discussion. CLOSED MEETING 1. Consultation with Attorneys -Under Texas Government Code Section 551.071. A.

On January 13, 2014, the Public Utilities Board (PUB) recommended approval of purchasing this site for a substation. On February 2, 2014, the City Council approved the purchase of the site for a substation. The Development Review Committee recommends approval of this request based on the following condition: 1. a perimeter masonry screening wall shall be constructed with a minimum height of ten (10) feet. Strange questioned the number of individuals that attended the neighborhood meeting and what were their concerns. Bell stated their concerns were drainage issues associated with the site, and the effect on property values. Strange questioned the height of the proposed towers; Bell deferred to Chuck Sears with Denton Municipal Electric. Sears stated the poles would be approximately 158 feet in height. They range in transmission line size from 95 -115 feet. He stated the pole on the southeast corner of the lot would be the tallest at approximately 115 foot. Strange questioned if the neighbors are aware of the pole height. Sears stated he is not certain; the original public meetings were held during the design portion of the process. Bentley stated there are a lot of concerns about the location; he stated he thought a few years back the previous location was changed due to public outreach about not wanting the substation on Nottingham Drive. Bell stated he is aware of several meetings that were held years prior to this one. He stated he isn't fully aware of the history. Brian Daskam, Denton Municipal Electric (DME), stated this substation and the transmission lines were handled together, there were four public meetings. Daskam stated it was originally proposed further to the west and citizens responded to City Council to move the substation further east. This is where it is being proposed now; Bentley acknowledged. Dudowicz questioned where the incoming lines would be coming to this site. Sears stated they are in and out of Loop 288; they would be coming from south to the substation and then will 5 leave the site and run to the north side of Loop 288. They would then proceed around the Loop 288 to the Denton North substation at Locust Street. Reece opened the Public Hearing. Linda Carrasco, 3705 Cooper Branch East, Denton, Texas. Carrasco stated herself and the other neighbors didn't receive input on this proposed site. The citizens responded to place the site to the east, so now it is proposed to be placed to the east. She stated those citizens and these citizens object to the proposed poles. She stated there are a lot of negative effects that could come from a neighboring substation to your residence. The main concern is that north Denton has a lot of empty parcels, why couldn't the substation get placed on one of those sites. She stated the existing substation on Kings Row is in poor condition. There are rental properties next to the site because no one wants to purchase a site that closed to a substation. This will cause property values to decrease. Jeffrey Totter, 3701 Cooper Branch East, Denton, Texas. He stated he resides within 200 foot of the subject site. He stated he is opposed because of the following reasons: unsightly appearance, 115 foot poles, and resale value, potential property value to decrease, property tax increase, and the concrete wall isn't appealing. Totter stated his wife and daughter are at their residence a lot of time, there are a lot of safety and health issues concerned with a substation neighboring residence. He discussed electromagnetic fields, and the amount of electricity being pumped through the lines. He stated his main concern with this proposal is the health risk. There was no one else to speak on the item; Reece closed the Public Hearing. Conner questioned Sears if they address the issue in regards to the electromagnetic fields and other health concerns with the stations. Sears stated they aren't the expert in that portion of the field. He stated there is staff that has worked close to substations their entire lives and there is no evidence that can uncover an increase in health issues. He stated research shows that hair dryers produce a high level of electromagnetic fields. He stated their research doesn't address the health concern due to the amount of distance between the poles and the ground. Briggle questioned when this land was purchased by the City. Daskam stated City Council held a second public hearing on November 15, 2011, to purchase the site. It was approved at that meeting, and the site was purchased soon after that date. Briggle questioned Bentley's discussion in regards to the site being proposed at another location prior to this site. She stated there are a lot of trees on the proposed site that would be interfered with during the development of the substation. Daskam stated the site to the west that contains fewer trees was their original plan; based on public input at the time they suggested it move further east. At that point, City Council pushed DME to move the site to the east. He stated the same owner owns all that land and it was the owner's preference to move further west. Daskam requested Sears to speak on the consideration for the land to the north. Sears identified off the map provided to the west where the other existing substation is located. He stated it is more economical to place the site where it is proposed. When the site is moved further away the cost increases and those costs have to be recovered in rate increases. He stated at the time there were individuals that attended the public meetings and provided feedback. He stated they might not all be the same individuals over time; however, those sites were notified. C� Strange questioned since these are normally located next to neighborhoods; is there any compensation to offer the homeowners for the potential loss of property values and other reasons. Daskam stated his understanding is that it would be prohibited by state law for those offerings. Bentley stated years prior there was a substation on Loop 288 that backed directly up to a neighborhoods fence line; this proposed site at least has a street separating the site. He stated the previous process was on the front page of the newspaper and went through the public hearing process; there are only so many locations the substation could be moved to. Bentley thanked the citizens for their concerns. He stated a majority of those issues were probably hashed out over time during the public hearing process. Commissioner Brian Bentley motioned, Commissioner Devin Taylor seconded to approve this request based on staff's condition: 1. a perimeter masonry screening wall shall be constructed with a minimum height of ten (10) feet. Motion approved (6 -1). Commissioner Brian Bentley, aye, Commissioner Devin Taylor, aye, Commissioner Amber Briggle, aye, Commissioner Frank Dudowicz, aye, Commissioner Frank Conner, aye, and Chair Thom Reece, aye. Commissioner Jim Strange, nay. A. Hold a public hearing and consider making a recommendation to City Council regarding _ approval of an update to the City of Denton's Comprehensive Plan. (CA 11-0004, Comprehensive Plan, Ron Menguita) This item was continued from the October 22, 2014 meeting. Lockley introduced Menguita. Menguita provided the project schedule. He stated he will brief the audience on this request so they are aware. There were three community forums held over the time of this process. The Denton Plan 2030 sets the course to manage growth, promote reinvestment, and improve the quality of life for the next 15 to 20 years. Menguita provided the Preferred Growth Concept. This is a conceptual vision for the form, character, and general location of development in the city that reflects the input and expressed preferences of the community. Menguita discussed Developing the Plan. It is projected that in the next 20 years, the City will grow approximately 94,000 in population. Based on this population growth, approximately 37,282 dwelling units are projected by 2030. There are three committees that were involved in developing the plan. Those include: the Citizen Advisory Committee, which consists of 32 members appointed by City Council; the Technical Advisory Committee, which consists of a group of senior staff members; and the Denton Plan Ambassador, which was established at the beginning of the planning process and is open to all community members. There were three community forums held, the first was Community Forum 1, it was a long process, but a good process. It was needed to develop the vision statement. Community Forum 2 was used to select the future, at the Community Forum 2 citizens compared four growth scenarios, a Growth Trend scenario, centers, corridor, and compact scenario. Community Forum 3 was the review of the Draft Comprehensive Plan. At the forum the Draft Denton Plan 2030 was unveiled and presented to the community. 7 There are ten elements to the process; those include: Plan Framework, Mobility Element, Land Use Element, and Implementation and Monitoring Element. The Action Plan includes: planning, regulations, program, capital, and timeframe. Menguita provided the next steps of the process; which includes a City Council Work Session, public hearing, and the adoption process. Menguita stated staff recommends approval of this update with the 42 conditions that are listed in the staff backup materials. Briggle stated the plan is great; there has been a lot of work and dedication put into the update. She stated she recently checked the Denton Plan 2030 Facebook page and it hadn't been updated since mid September. She stated during all the upcoming processes and steps she would like to see it updated on a regular basis so the community is aware of the progress. Menguita acknowledged. Strange referred to Condition 37, he questioned if his previous concerns were addressed within that condition. Menguita stated yes since the Work Session it was updated. Strange questioned if there is anything prior to property owners signing off on the rezoning documents is there something that could be done. Menguita stated he isn't aware, he could research it. He stated staff would do their best to inform the property owners before any process. Strange stated the property owner should have a choice to rezone. Menguita stated unfortunately if it is better for the community then it needs to be rezoned. He stated not everyone will agree on the same zoning. He stated ultimately that is something City Council will address. Strange acknowledged. Bentley questioned if there is a reason to push this item through at this time; when there are several other major items City Council and this Commission have been preoccupied with. Menguita stated this process begun approximately 2.5 years prior to this Public Hearing. Bentley stated he is aware of that; he still feels this item is being pushed through. Menguita stated there has been a handful of opportunity for feedback and discussion on this item. There have been certain dates with this Commission and City Council that have been setup and have met the deadlines. This plan didn't just come through the process quickly. Menguita stated he feels City Council is ready to move forward with the item as well. Briggle stated that she hears Bentley's concerns; however, when the City came before this Commission for the bond this Commission had suggestions; however, the Commissioner deferred to the citizen group that worked hard to develop the proposed product. They held meetings and spent a lot of time to come up with what was proposed. That is the same situation with this update. Bentley stated he appreciates the citizen input and the work from the Committees. However, there are a lot of contradictions within the product if you read it. There is a lot of fine print to the document. Lockley questioned Bentley what he feels would be a reasonable timeframe. Bentley stated he feels the headings are misleading. He stated consultants are going to do what they do best, fill the document with a lot of words that contradict themselves throughout the document. He stated the document is too fluid. He stated if it were pushed back to approximately February it would allow more time to work on the item. Strange stated he likes the plan; however, he feels there will be issues with implementation. He feels there will be more people in an area that doesn't have the capability that is needed. Reece opened the Public Hearing. Jim Owen, 2007 Teasley Lane, Denton, Texas. Owen stated he was a part of the Denton Plan Ambassador (DPA), and met every two months to discuss this plan. He stated he is not from Texas, he moved here a few years ago. On the DPA he was assigned to research the housing element. He is familiar with pocket neighborhoods, like what are common in Washington. Abra Nusser provided a website that has pocket neighborhood information. He stated those neighborhoods have fewer houses and more common areas. He stated he likes this concept. He agreed with Bentley that the plan needs to consist of a glossary to discuss the final terms within the plan and what they mean. He thanked staff and the Committees for their work on this process. Rod Zielke with ZBS Consulting, 1111 S. Main Street, Grapevine, Texas. Zielke stated he is just would like to make a comment. He is representing the 40 acres at Pockrus Page and Post Oak Drive. He came before this Commission previously and discussed rezoning of the neighborhood. He stated he wanted to comment on that, that he will be coming back before this Commission to request a rezoning of the property if is not covered within the Denton Plan update. Kerry Williams, 3211 Westgate Drive, Denton, Texas. Williams stated he wasn't aware of this item, until he read the Denton Record Chronicle. He stated there has been a lot going on within the City, and he feels this item was rushed. There are some things he noticed within the plan, like ambiguous language. He stated there is a lot of policy implementation based off of this plan. If there is ambiguous language it affects the policy. He would like to see this item pushed back for a longer review time period. There was no one else to speak Reece closed the Public Hearing. Briggle stated she hears Kerry Williams concerns. She stated this Commission discussed the language; she requested Menguita to clarify. Menguita stated the draft of the plan was done by an outside consultant, WRT Consulting. He stated staff worked to limit the language within the plan itself. There appears to be more of that language than expended. That doesn't change the goals and policies of the plan. Briggle stated the specific details will be worked out as the plan is implemented. Bentley stated he will agree, the background information is not important as the goals. The goals are good, in this document there are examples in the background information. He stated if those are wrong than the goals are wrong as well. Conner stated he receives a lot of feedback from developers that they do not want to develop in Denton. He stated they express input on the fact that it is difficult to get projects off the ground. There was a joint meeting held with this Commission and City Council. That addressed a lot of concerns two years ago. There has been talk with developers that the issues are worse now than they were back then. He stated whether perception is right or wrong, Denton has a bad reputation to develop in Denton. He stated if some of the items don't get handled and implemented within the next two to three years then they won't happen at all. Conner stated he would motion to approve this request with staffs conditions, and a recommendation to City Council that they use their power to address these concerns with the development issues in Denton. Briggle stated she would second. She stated this is a beautiful plan; the volunteers have worked hard on this proposed plan. X, Bentley stated he would make a Superior Motion to continue this item to the first meeting in February of 2015.. This would allow staff and this Commission to work through this item. He stated statistics show that the average person reads at an 8 -91h grade level. This document is written in "planner" terms. He stated the plan mentions a small area plan needed in order to implement each section and define each section of the plan. He stated the City has none of those. The completed vision is still lacking at this point. Dudowicz stated he would second. Commissioner Brian Bentley motioned, Commissioner Frank Dudowicz seconded to continue this item to a date certain of the first meeting in February 2015. Motion failed (3 -4). Commissioner Brian Bentley, aye, Commissioner Frank Dudowicz, aye, and Commissioner Thom Reece, aye. Commissioner Frank Conner, nay, Commissioner Amber Briggle, nay, Commissioner Devin Taylor, nay, and Commissioner Jim Strange, nay. Leal stated the item would return to the original motion made by Commissioner Conner at this time. Reece stated the original motion and second are still on the table. Bentley stated he doesn't feel it to be a good idea to send this item on to City Council if this Commission has come down to a split vote. Lockley stated he appreciates the discussion. The Denton Plan is written from prospective to set guidelines for the City to implement. He stated there are neighborhood plans, smaller plans, corridor plans, and other plans that will address the detail to affect the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan is the start of a vision. He stated within a timeframe it recognizes other things that have to be completed. This is the starting point to reach goals. The implementation is to discuss goals and what is entailed within those goals. This recommendation would be a go- ahead from this Commission to move forward to reach those goals. Bentley stated this isn't a clear plan; there is planner talk and double talk within the plan. Reece stated he would like to see this item move forward to City Council. He stated citizens, staff, and the Committees have worked on and will continue to work hard on this plan. Commissioner Frank Conner motioned, Commissioner Amber Briggle seconded to approve this request based on staff s conditions, and with the recommendation to City Council that they work hard to resolve the issues of the developers concerns in regards to developing in Denton. Motion carried (5 -2). Commissioner Frank Conner, aye, Commissioner Amber Briggle, aye, Chair Thom Reece, aye, Commissioner Jim Strange, aye, and Commissioner Devin Taylor, aye. Commissioner Brian Bentley, nay, and Commissioner Frank Dudowicz, nay. B. Hold a public hearing and consider making a recommendation to City Council regarding _ a Specific Use Permit (SUP) to allow a "Basic Utility," a Denton Municipal Electric (DME) electrical substation, on approximately 10. 144 acres of land _ generally located on the east side of Geesling Road, aproximately 600 feet north of Blagg Road and 1,800 feet south of E. University Drive (US 380). The site is located within a Neighborhood Residential 6 (NR -6) zoning district. (S 14 -0006, DME ARCO, Mike Bell) Lockley introduced Bell. Bell provided the location map, site plan, and site photos. He provided an updated site plan during the Work Session that reflects Bentley's comment on the site plan. The surrounding uses include: the north and east are undeveloped, the west is industrial use, and 10 the south is farm and ranch improvements. The site is zoned Neighborhood Residential 6. Bell provided a photo example of the proposed buffer wall. Bell stated per Subchapter 35.3.4.B.2 of the Denton Development Code lists the general approval criteria for Specific Use Permits (SUP). The criteria relevant to an SUP are listed as follows: b. The proposed SUP meets the criteria set forth in Subchapter 6, and conforms to the purpose and intent of the Denton Plan; and c. The proposed SUP facilitates the adequate provision of transportation, water, sewer, schools, parks, and other public requirements and public convenience. Staff sent out seven Public Hearing notices to property owners within 200 feet of the subject site, and five courtesy notices to property owners within 500 feet of the subject site. At this time staff has received no returned responses. Bell stated on January 13, 2014, the Public Utilities Board recommended approval of purchasing this site for a substation. On February 2, 2014, the City Council approved the purchase of the site for a substation. The Development Review Committee recommends approval of this request based on the following condition: 1. a perimeter masonry screening wall shall be constructed with a minimum height of ten (10) feet. Bell stated the applicant is present. Chair Reece opened the Public Hearing. Steve Bowles, 511 Magnolia Street, Denton, Texas. Bowles stated he is neither in favor or opposed to the request. He stated he owns the property to the north of the subject site, and he would like more information on the proposed buffer wall to be constructed. He stated based on information he gathered online there is a 20 foot buffer between his property and the fence line, and masonry wall. He questioned the placement of the buffer and who would maintain the buffer and grass. Bowles questioned where the transmission lines would be disbursed. Chuck Sears, Denton Municipal Electric, stated there is an existing substation. He identified on the map the existing substations and transmission poles. He stated as far as the buffer, there would be a 20 foot standard setback that contains a grassy area. It would be mowed and maintained. Bowles acknowledged. There was no one else to speak on the item. Chair Reece closed the Public Hearing. Commissioner Jim Strange motioned, Commissioner Frank Dudowicz seconded to approve this request based on staff s condition: 1. a perimeter masonry screening wall shall be constructed with a minimum height of ten (10) feet. Motion approved (7 -0). Commissioner Jim Strange, aye, Commissioner Frank Dudowicz, aye, Commissioner Brian Bentley, aye, Commissioner Frank Conner, aye, Commissioner Devin Taylor, aye, Commissioner Amber Briggle, aye, and Chair Thom Reece, aye. 5.

Accessibility: This is the ease with which people can access a full range of facilities such as shops, leisure, employment, and other public areas. Accessibility is affected by the location and distribution of uses; transportation choices, including facilities for less mobile people; the physical design of spaces and pedestrian circulation systems. New development will be accessible to the widest range of people both in terms of its location, the physical design of spaces and buildings, and its accessibility via transportation modes including bicycle, pedestrian, and transit. Health & Safety: A well - designed built environment can help to improve safety and security. An unsafe environment can discourage human activity and render a site unusable. Good lighting 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. Encourage self - policing and discourage crime by incorporating Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) strategies into building and site design. Connectivity: The number of alternative ways people are able to move through a community is a measure of its connectivity or permeability. New development should maximize permeability both within the site and in the neighborhood. Site design must be based on the promotion of wati(abitity and modal choice, including access to bicycle, pedestrian and transit networks and efficient use of existing paths and patterns of movement. New development is designed to complement the existing street grid network and maximize the choice of movement within and through the site. Paths into a site connect rather than forming a series of dead-ends. Cut-de-sacs are generally discouraged except under circumstances, such as the presence of topography, stream corridors or other barriers. New development will be expected to take advantage of opportunities to promote wati(abitity and modal choice, including access to bicycle, pedestrian and transit networks. Neighborhood Scale: A neighborhood is limited in physical size, with well-defined edges. The size of a neighborhood is generally defined as a five-minute wall( or one-quarter mite from the neighborhood edge to its center and a ten- minute wall( 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, particularly the aesthetic functions that include a sense of place. These neighborhoods will typically contain transit stops and will utilize transit-oriented design. Durability & 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 if 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. Variety: Architectural diversity and creativity should be encouraged to avoid homogeneity and sterility, white still mandating high- quality and sustainable construction. 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. Sustainability: Sustainabitity is a theme of Denton Plan 2030, as well as a priority for Denton. As such building and neighborhood designs should strive to achieve the highest possible standards for sustainabitity. In the design process, rating systems such as LEED for New Construction, LEED for Neighborhood Development, and Green BuittTm Texas should be consulted as a reference with the intent of incorporating as many green building elements as feasible.

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 city; • 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. Architectural Quality: The impact of architectural quality will strongly influence the quality of growth during the next twenty years. High- quality design and materials in all future development that will create attractive business destinations and encourage economic development for the future. The following architectural principles shall be used to guide decisions regarding design of structures: • High - quality architectural design should be encouraged. Innovation, creativity, and originality are considered to be primary ingredients of high- quality architecture. Unique or challenging design solutions will be welcomed. Such buildings are individualistic, provide contrast, and in these ways create local identity and contribute to local distinctiveness. • Careful consideration of proportioning, detailing, and context is important in designing buildings adjacent to historic buildings and within historic areas of the city by providing variety and defining space. • 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 corners should include major entrances, windows, or other features to create activity and visual interest at the ground floor level. • Design materials will be used and expressed authentically and appropriately with the use materials and design features indigenous to the region. Use high- quality, durable materials to ensure long -term quality and appreciation of local design. • The City will partner with developers on development projects and will actively explore the use of competitions in the development of significant public buildings 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. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Historic Precedent: Development should echo and complement the historic character of Denton's past, including materials, fenestration, scale, height, roof pitch, and street orientation. New buildings should demonstrate thorough knowledge of historical architectural information and context, but should not imitate older buildings. In the case of infill, materials, fenestration, scale, height, roof pitch, and street orientation should complement the character of the existing area. Consider the adaptive reuse of existing buildings and warehouse for all types of uses. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Building Scale and Orientation: Buildings should be oriented to address primary streets or thoroughfares in order to create a sense of presence on the street and create a strong street wall. In order for a street to achieve the intimate and welcoming quality of an outdoor room, the buildings along it should compose a suitable street wall. Building height should be sized in proportion to the width of the street and to the surrounding context of the neighborhood or block. 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 govern recess lines for upper stories, and transition lines, which denote a distinction between ground floors used for retail and the upper story floors for offices and apartments. Building massing and facade articulation should contribute to a fine - grained, pedestrian scale environment at the street level that promotes walkability. • Definition of Public Space: Buildings should be sited carefully to create a defined public realm. Build -to lines should be utilized to establish a consistent series of building facades and to shape outdoor spaces, including the street and areas for community gathering, including plazas, courtyards, and parks. 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.

Development should encourage bicycle and pedestrian access that contributes to efficient and safe travel for all modes. 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. • Entrances: Primary street entrances of all building types should front onto the primary street. In multi - family residential developments, ground -floor units should front onto and access the street, rather than having a shared entry and access from interior corridors. • Location of Parking: Residential garage structures should be located to the rear of the lot with alley access or employ shared driveways from public street frontages where there is no alley access. Garage entrances facing the street or those with side garage entrances accessed from a shared drive are set well back from the front facade so as to obscure views of the garage entry. • 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 and screened with planting. • Car -Free Development: Mixed -use development in the Downtown core and adjacent to universities should not require off- street parking, but rather should rely on on- street and shared parking along with transit, bicycle, and pedestrian use. • Service Areas: Solid waste containers should be located out of public view on private property, in areas specially designed to accommodate truck maneuvering. The use of innovative technologies to reduce the visibility of solid waste operations should be encouraged. Small Area Plans should contain strategies for solid waste improvements in existing developed areas. • Lighting: Install adequate and sufficient lighting throughout the area for added safety, visibility, and comfort. Lighting should complement the overall character and design of a building or neighborhood and not be visually intrusive to neighbors or the night sky. Lighting should be energy efficient. • Landscaping: Incorporate distinctive landscaping into the design of buildings when feasible, contributing a vibrant, inviting setting. Accentuate key focal points, entrances, gateways, and corners of a development with accent plant materials and trees. Use local planting materials and those requiring minimal maintenance to contribute to their long -term health and upkeep. • Signage: Design high quality signage that contributes to community identity, improves wayfinding, that is highly visible and legible. Require all signs within and around a development to be high quality, professionally designed, and creative symbols of community character. Limit attached and detached signage to achieve private advertisement and wayfinding but not clutter corridors and detract from community aesthetics. • Provision of Onsite Open Space: In commercial, multi - family residential, and mixed -use development, ensure the provision of shared open space and amenities in a central gathering location that is safe, well -lit, and accessible. Use shared open space as opportunities for community gathering, events (depending on the size), public art, and expression of community character. Elements of the Public Realm: In addition to the built environment, elements of the public realm are an essential element of the character of a city. The design of the public realm includes streets, sidewalks, parks and open space, and bridges and transportation structures. These elements should be designed to address their adjacent uses, be well appointed and maintained, and facilitate safe and accessible function for all modes. • Design of Bridges and Transportation Structures: Qualified and creative engineering input should be used in the design of mobility infrastructure, with interesting structural solutions, rather than the addition of decorative detailing to a standard structure.

Trees and other plantings will be properly coordinated with utilities to avoid conflicts with maintenance of the public right -of -way and competition for limited underground space. The City will fully consider the significant value of trees and the urban forest when resolving infrastructure conflicts; and select and plant appropriate tree species on public rights -of -way that maximize planting potential while protecting the safety of the public. Landscaping shaft promote tow- impact design, including water - efficient irrigation practices, the use of drought- tolerant planting materials, and permeable paving to promote the sustainable design of the public realm. • Adaptation to the Natural Environment: Development should complement natural topography and respect natural systems, including tree canopy. Development should be located outside of, the loo -year floodptain, including roadways. Rather developments adjacent to floodptains should establish green space between the road and the floodptain to serve as open space, limit flood exposure, and facilitate channel maintenance. Development should not remove valuable tree canopy, but rather contribute additional trees to the urban forest.

Many ofthe strengths identified in Community Forum 1 were also raised at the Kickoff Open House and can be found in elements ofthe current Denton Plan, including community, environment, access, history, and downtown vitality. Each element will be assessed for its progress, relevance, and future needs in the update process to ensure that we maintain and promote what people love about Denton as much as possible.

For instance, traffic and parking problems seem to remain a consistent issue today, while transit service and gas well proliferation have emerged as issues since the adoption of the current Denton Plan and will be incorporated in the update process.

Participants were asked to consider Denton's future in terms of its challenges and opportunities. Challenges: What conditions ortrends do we see as challenges that we should prepare for or prevent? Opportunities: What conditions or trends do we interpret as opportunities to make our community better in the future? As in Exercise 1, all of the participants' responses were written down and top "votes" were recorded for each issue to identify the top challenges and opportunities. Challenges Common themes that emerged from the list of top opportunities include: Community Forum 1 - November Series • Keeping pace with exponential growth (infrastructure, transportation, utilities, schools, housing, social services) • Keeping people in Denton • Threats /barriers to small businesses (codes, taxes, big box) • University expansion into neighborhoods • Maintaining quality education • Staying competiti\,e in the region Oobs, business, skilled workers) • Aging infrastructure • Attracting di\,erse housing options • Maintaining historic /cultural identity with new growth • Proliferation of gas wells hirough the Pr 01 itization exej� Fise, each table i the comments on each of the topic areas and voted a n [heii, 'top three" Bn order tae l fdianfily minirnunky ipriorft(es II acihtaWors led rhea foibles in finding coinni-ionalities, and encouraged gro: i or slii coinriiemit%, T - 0'v III v, November Series February Series Nominber Series Cr MMUnIty Forum 'I - Spanish Series • No Latinos in positions of authority • Illiteracy an increasing problern due to lack of recognition of needs of Latinos • Importance of recognizing Latinos as the a part of the future for the City Cr MMUnIty Forum 'I - Febiruaiy Series • Lack of funding resources • Balancing growth with quality of life • Protecting natural resources, rural character, green space • Flbreats to small businesses • Fear of change • Coordinating plans / visions between IDenton, universities, county, state, other municipalities, etc • Obstacles to redevelopment /green develOPITient • Air quality impacts • Allowing for diverse housing choices • Future energy and water demand • IDenton's image / Maintain downtown, eclectic atmosphere • Retaining and attracting young professionals • Socioeconomic status / changing demographics • Fraffic / downtown truck traffic / parking • Impacts of gas well drilling • Lifnited rail access • Need for social seNces Cr MMUnIty Forum 'I - L)niveii Seiries • Not enough support for independent businesses • Responsible development of'sustainability programs • Business community • Collaboration between UNT and TWU, and the City • Traffic, need to expand 1 -35 • Overly rapid growth to be accommodated by adequate infrastructure and sustainable development pattern • Attracting new businesses and employment opportunities • Policy approval/ city regulation • Transient population/ retention of university graduates • Preserving small town feel • Balanced land uses • Adequate water supply • Use and appreciation for public transit • School overcrowding • Need to get handle on climate change and mitigation • Pollution • Road quality • Maintenance of infrastructure Relevance to Denton Plan 2030: The Denton Plan 2030 update needs to consider negative trends that, if left unchecked in a growing community, could have serious impacts on the quality of life and economic health ofthe City. Another key component ofthe plan update is to address issues that are considered strengths, but may have facets that could prove challenging in the future. For example, the presence ofthe universities has been highlighted as a major strength in the community forum and other feedback opportunities, but the potential impacts of university expansion into adjacent neighborhoods was also highlighted as a major challenge to be addressed in the plan.

At the same time, local businesses and creative /unique entrepreneurs are also vital to Denton's future growth. Maintaining excellent access in the region via expressways and transit are also considered key to Denton's successful future, and improving connectivity between major activity nodes (universities, downtown, etc.) are important opportunities. Some participants also want to maintain Denton's unique image and natural systems while accommodating growth and economic development. Many ofthese issues are in elements ofthe current Plan that will be addressed and expanded upon in the update.

In simple terms, it represents a "what the future will look like if we do nothing different" scenario. This document describes how the City of Denton is expected to grow over the next 15 to 20 years, assuming growth continues in a pattern similar to recent decades. Key data inputs, assumptions, and steps that were taken to prepare the Denton Growth Trend Scenario are summarized in the following sections. The Growth Trend Scenario map (Figure 3) indicates, conceptually and in broad strokes, where residential and non - residential growth is most likely to occur. Existing Conditions and rrends The following facts, derived from data analysis of population and land use trends, were key in constructing the assumptions for the Growth Trend Scenario, as described later in this document: • Denton's population increased by 41 percent between 2000 and 2010, growing from 80,537 to 113,383 people. This was its most intense decade of growth since the 1960s. • New projections forecast an additional 93,951 residents by 2030. • Denton has a higher proportion of single - person households than Denton County and Texas as a whole. Thirteen percent of these were residents aged 65 or older. In the same year (2010), only 22 percent of Denton County's households and 25 percent of all households in the state of Texas were single - person households.' • The population of Denton is fairly young. The 18 to 24 age cohort comprised one quarter of the city's population in 2000 and 2010. However, the city's adult population has seen an increase in the number of older residents, generally due to the aging of the baby boomer generation. • These demographic shifts involve changes in housing preferences that Denton's housing market does not meet today, such as more multi - family housing and units for singles and young families. ' Population projects were derived from the report Economic and Demographic Projections for the City of Denton: An Update, " Prepared by Center for Economic Development and Research; University of North Texas. April 2011. Data were based on the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey, 2010. "Dclnton flan 4 .. 2 OV f utrurc, DRAFT • Denton has annexed over 20,500 acres of land since 1999. • Between 1967 and 2000, a total of 24 natural gas well permits were issued in the City of Denton. Between 2000 and 2010, almost 500 permits were issued. Development opportunities are limited in areas with high concentrations of natural gas wells and associated pipelines. rrend Factors and Methodollogy 1. Projected Population and Housing / Non-Residential Growth In order to estimate the 15- to 20 -year development pattern that is likely to occur in Denton in a "business as usual" scenario, the Growth Trend Analysis begins with an estimate of future housing demand based on specific factors including current and projected population, household size, and existing housing units. Table 1 illustrates the data and calculations used to arrive at projected 2030 housing demand, which is a factor of projected population growth (projected minus existing population) divided by existing household size. As indicated in Table 1, it is estimated that Denton will need an additional 37,282 housing units to accommodate its projected population in 2030.

Residential Dammed The next step in the Growth Trend Analysis involves estimating projected housing unit demand by type (single family, multi - family, and other) and the associated land area required to accommodate it. Table 2 shows the projected residential units by type as a proportion of existing (2011) units. For instance, 54 percent of existing units are single family and 54 percent of projected units will be single family, resulting in about 20,000 additional single family units by 2030. Using the existing proportion of housing types reflects the status quo of development patterns in the city. Projected units were then multiplied by the existing acres per unit to arrive at the projected acreage needed to accommodate each housing type. Projected acreage was then adjusted to accommodate an additional 25 percent land area to incorporate associated roads /infrastructure. As shown in Table 2, the greatest housing demand is in the category of single family detached, which will also require the vast majority of land area in the future.

Non-Residential Dammed Next, the Growth Trend Analysis determined the amount of non - residential development needed within the next 15 to 20 years. This calculation was done by applying the current proportion of residential to non - residential development (in acres) to the new residential area (in acres) projected in Table 2. This resulted in a combined total of 5,282 acres needed for commercial, industrial, and institutional development to support residential growth in Denton. The summary of calculations is shown in Table 3. Table 3 - Non - Residential Demand by Type (1) Source: City of Denton GIs (2) Existing dev. non - residential acres / total existing dev. residential acres (3) % of existing dev. residential area x new residential acres Note: It is assumed that some major institutions that already encompass significant portions of land within the city (26% of the total institutional land) would not continue to grow in the some proportional rate to other uses within the city. 4. Land Consumption The total amount of new land that will be needed to absorb Denton's projected growth is summarized in Table 4 — Land Consumption. This combines the new residential and non- residential development calculated as described above. A total of 16,061 acres will be needed to accommodate Denton's projected 2030 growth. The estimated location of this new growth, as depicted in the Growth Trend Scenario, is expected to follow similar patterns of development to recent trends. The scenario is depicted in Figure 3 and was developed based on a combination of factors, including the Projected Population and Housing /Non - Residential Growth analysis, Susceptibility to Change analysis, and assumptions for placing growth. This methodology is described in Sections 5 and 6 below. "Dclnton flan 4 .. 2 OV 11RA21 Table 4 - Land Consumption (1)Total Municipal Acreage (2) Existing residential acres (3) Source: American Community Survey 5 -year estimates (4) Average acres per unit (developed residential area / total units) (5) Projected new dwelling units (2011 -2030 population change /household size) (6) New residential area = (average acres per unit x new dwelling units) (7) New non - residential acreage estimated at 69% of new residential area 5. .Susceptibility to Change Analysis The Growth Trend Scenario assumes that much of the necessary growth in Denton would occur in areas that are undeveloped, unconstrained, and located within the city limits (note that it is assumed that the non - annexation agreement areas will be annexed by 2030). In order to estimate the areas where growth would occur beyond that, a Susceptibility to Change analysis was conducted, examining the geographic areas most suitable for development and likely to change. The analysis is informed by layering a number of susceptibility indicators including natural features, topography, and floodplains, areas of existing or planned development, access to existing roads and infrastructure, and amenities. This methodology is described below: Methodology Using GIS, WRT created a series of raster files representing each of the selected susceptibly indicators. Each file was given a numeric score from 0 to 10 to weight how likely the indicator is to influence development. The higher the score, the more likely the land will be developed in the future. Each indicator used in the analysis is described below: Out of Bounds Areas: The analysis assumes certain portions of the city are out of bounds and not susceptible to future development or redevelopment patterns. This land includes waterways and existing parks. The "out of bounds" areas are excluded from the analysis and are shown in white on the map (Figure 2). E.. 4 .. 2 OV t.u� futrurc, 11RA29 Excluded: • Waterways: Includes undevelopable waterways and bodies of water such as Hickory Creek, Cooper Creek, Pecan Creek, and the Trinity River as well as ponds and small lakes. The scale of analysis includes a buffer around these waterways that are also excluded. • Parks: Publicly owned parks within the City of Denton. Factors of Susceptibly: After excluding the areas considered out of bounds, the Susceptibility to Change analysis was applied to remaining lands within the city. Specific portions were given a low susceptibility score, meaning these areas are considered least likely to change in the future. Lands within the lowest susceptibility areas were given a score of '0' to indicate their likeliness of being developed. This score was defined given that individual susceptibility indicators do not increase the susceptibility of land to develop. Lands with higher susceptibility were given a higher score, with '10' representing the highest susceptibility. As such, each individual factor may or may not contribute to any given area's likelihood of development. All factors were weighted equally with areas likely to change of a higher value than those where change is not likely. These factors are illustrated in Figure 1 and described below. Environmentally Sensitive Areas: Existing areas of environmental sensitivity include the 100 -year floodplain identified in the preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMS), as well as upland and water - related habitat. As development near the ESA's is discouraged, susceptibility decreases as proximity to the ESA's increases. Slope: There are a number of areas in Denton that have slopes greater than 25 percent which typically make development more cumbersome. Although Denton is not a city particularly limited by topography, this factor was still included to inform the Analysis. Susceptibility decreases as slope increases. • Gas Wells and Pipelines: Gas wells and pipelines have proliferated in and around the City of Denton in recent decades. While the impact of gas wells and pipelines on future development is still unknown, they have the potential to impact where future development is allowed. Therefore, susceptibility decreases as proximity to concentrations of gas wells and pipelines increases. Proximity to Roads: Land in proximity to existing roads is more likely to develop given that access is a primary factor in an area's desirability for development. Areas with access to 1 -35E and 1 -35W are particularly susceptible to change. Susceptibility decreases as distance from roads increases. E.. 4 .. 2 OV t.u� futrurc, Non - annexation Agreement Areas: In the City of Denton, the Annexation Plan includes land that may be annexed in the future. If the City does not act on its intent to annex, the City will lose the ability to annex said land. Therefore, the analysis treated land within non - annexation agreements as equally as likely to develop as land within the city. (Note: this is the area previously referred to as the 5 -year Annexation Plan). 11RA29 • Proximity to Existing Development: Land in close proximity to existing development signifies importance of land use adjacency and development trends as to where new development will occur. Susceptibility increases as proximity to existing development increases. Proximity to Schools: Areas close to existing schools are desirable for residential development as they offer a key facility needed to attract new residents. While additional schools will be provided as development increases, development is more likely to occur where a school already exists. Susceptibility increases as proximity to schools increases. Water and Sewer Service Areas: Development is more likely to occur where infrastructure already exists. Susceptibility increases within current Water and Sewer Service Areas. Once the Susceptibility to Change analysis was conducted, the overall analysis was applied to the entire city using each susceptibility indicator added together to obtain a cumulative "score" of susceptibility. Land that was considered particularly susceptible likely fell under multiple categories of susceptibility and thus was ranked the highest. The individual susceptibility layers are shown in Figure 1, and the combined susceptibility results are overlaid in the composite Susceptibility to Change map shown in Figure 2.

The projected growth was placed throughout the city according to the development types allowed by the city's current zoning. All of the existing zoning districts of similar character were grouped together to coincide with the projected residential and non - residential demand categories in Table 1 and Table 2 to determine where future development would go. The total land area for each category was placed in the undeveloped areas within these grouped zoning districts according to their level of susceptibility to change. For example, Denton has over 20,000 acres of undeveloped land currently zoned for low- density residential uses (including approved Master - Planned Communities, and agricultural areas). According to the growth projections identified in Table 2, there will only be a demand for 8,663 acres of single family residential development over the next 15 to 20 years. Therefore the growth in this category is placed in the undeveloped areas zoned for single family residential with the highest susceptibility until the total demand of 8,663 acres is reached. This process is repeated for each of the five projected land use categories identified in Figure 3. To depict a realistic vision of where growth might occur, the following assumptions were made. Institutional Development: For the purposes of this analysis, the Growth Trend Scenario does not attempt to locate projected institutional land uses, it is assumed that projected institutional development, such as schools, is incidental to residential development and is incorporated with single family residential uses on the map. It is also assumed that growth associated with institutions such as hospitals and universities will be contained within their existing footprint, or will occur in a case -by -case manner that is beyond the ability of this exercise to predict. Non - annexation Agreement Areas: It is assumed that this land will be annexed by the City by 2030 and is considered as likely to develop as other land within the city even though these areas do not currently have a zoning designation. It is assumed that highly susceptible, undeveloped land in these areas will contain predominantly single family development with small percentages of commercial, institutional, and other residential development. (Note: this is the area previously referred to as the 5 -year Annexation Plan). 10 Dclnton -Plan OE 0 V Ou� futurc, Figure 3 Sanger Lake Ray Robods Notth Nw''rroraG _. tv ,/j r, ......

Fiscal Analysis Zones After refinement of the Growth Trend Scenario, a Fiscal Impact Analysis will be conducted to quantify the costs of serving future development based on the "business as usual" pattern of growth. The Fiscal Impact Analysis model requires that the Growth Trend Scenario to be divided into discrete geographic areas, or Fiscal Analysis Zones. Fiscal Analysis Zones are areas within the City that share similar characteristics and that allow the analysis to reflect differences due to geography. As indicated in Figure 3, the Fiscal Analysis Zones that have been proposed for Denton include the Core, North, South, East, and West zones.

Refine Allternative Growth Concepts Mixwl -Use Centers t,ww� Using concept direction, WRT refined growth concepts based on input from City staff, proposed developments and infrastructure improvements, and examination of development potential of key areas within the City. Based on this input, three distinct scenarios are created: Centers, Corridors, and Compact. These scenarios are intended to be conceptual and illustrate three discernible options that can direct future urban form and future investment. 1 Dclnton -Plan E 0 M OV Ou� iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillillillillillillilliillillillillillillillillillillillilillillillillillillilliillillillillillillilliillillilillillillillillillillillilillillillillillillilliillillillillillillilliillillilillillillillillillillillilillillillillillillilliililI Figure 2 - Centers Centers Dutton Fllw�i s 1w "Ooll, . . . . ......... . . . - --- - - ----- City of Denton Non-annexation fteeffient Area Existing DevOopment H I g hw a y Ma�w Rwid Rakroad ---- Manned Road EP UU 37 "WOV'N" AAl 377 ill .... . .... . /,/ ............... - ............ . . ............................................................................

For example, the Growth Trend projected that the same proportion of single - family residential, multi - family, and other residential typologies would remain consistent. In the alternative scenarios, this proportion will be adjusted to reflect the community's input and expressed interest in more managed, and balanced growth in a compact, walkable, development pattern. The Compact Alternative added an additional higher- density land use in order to accommodate projected number of housing units within the most compact development form. These ratios are shown in Table 1. Commercial, industrial, and institutional development proportions are unchanged from the Growth Trend Scenario. These land uses support residential development, as calculated by total number of housing units, which are unchanged from the Growth Trend.

Capacity Studies and Allocating Growth Once the general location of new development areas were identified with input from Denton city staff, WRT determined where growth could be accommodated under each of the scenarios. Growth was placed based on underlying land use, surrounding context, zoning, and avoiding environmentally — sensitive areas. Growth was placed first in vacant or undeveloped areas. Rather than in the Growth Trend where the "susceptibility to change" determined where new development would go, growth in the Alternatives Scenarios followed the proposed urban framework (Centers, Corridors, Compact) as the key influence, and in some situations resulted in redevelopment or a change in zoning. Also proportions of redevelopment were suggested based on relative obsolesce of buildings and commercial zones, or where a greater amount of density was needed to be consistent with the framework of the scenario. It is important to note that redevelopment is a "best guest" assumption, but does not suggest that stable neighborhoods and commercial areas, universities, or historic properties would be affected. In no case is development proposed in Environmentally - Sensitive Areas, even if development is already located there. All scenarios also acknowledged the widening of I -35E and the 500' right - of -way that would be required, which limited growth around highways. Areas where a concentration of gas wells exists was also assumed to be less likely to support residential growth. The capacity of Centers and Corridors are illustrated in the Tables 3 and 4 below. The Alternative Scenarios assume that much of the necessary growth would be accommodated in a compact development pattern, but that there would still be land needed in the periphery to accommodate a portion of the growth. Once the amount of land totaled to occur in identified "Dclnton -Plan OV4 .. Centers and /or Corridors was calculated, the remaining necessary land needed for growth will was placed in approved subdivisions and where no environmental constraints existed.

This is shown in Table 5 and described below. Table 5- Compact Alternative Development Capacity Developable Area in Compact Growth Scenario Total Area in Core 23,344 - ESAs 3,621 - Infrastructure (25 %) 5,836 Remaining 13,887 - Industrial Land Use 1,111 Developable Area 12,776 - Undeveloped Land 5,113 Area to be Redeveloped 7,663 Development Demand in Compact Growth Scenario Residential 6,414 Non - Residential 4,126 - Industrial Land Use 1,111 Total Land Demand 9,432 - Undeveloped Land 5,113 Remaining Demand 4,319 Area to be Redeveloped/ Remaining Demand 4,319/9,432 % Redevelopment 56% The goal of the Compact Scenario was to accommodate all proposed growth with the "core" of the city— meaning within Loop 288 and the proposed completion of Loop 288 west of 1 -35. This area was estimated in GIS to be 23,344 acres. Reducing this area by 25% for infrastructure, as listed in Table 1 and 2 assumptions, 5,836 acres were subtracted. The total acres of parks and Environmentally - Sensitive Areas within the "core" amounted to approximately 3,621 acres, which was also subtracted from the developable area. The assumption was made that industrial land use density would not change, so this total demand of 1,111 acres was included in this scenario. Thus, the resulting area on which development could occur, even in existing areas, is 12,776 acres. Using the density yield from Table 1 and 2 for the Compact Trend, a total of 9,432 acres would be needed to accommodate residential, commercial, and institutional uses. This is broadly assuming that the proportion of both residential and non - residential demand and density will shift. Those percentages are shown in Table 1. It is assumed that the density of commercial "Dclnton -Plan 4 .. 2 OV t.u� futrurc, uses will increase as well, as most development will be compact rather than suburban in nature. Thus the compact trend assumed that half of the amount of commercial acreage would be needed (1,155 acres). Again, it is assumed that industrial land use density would not change, so this total demand of 1,111 acres was included in this scenario and is allocated in the same locations as in the other alternatives. A total of 5,113 acres are undeveloped within the "core," as measured in GIS. Therefore, development would go there first, leaving 4,319 acres that must be allocated in redevelopment areas. Removing these 5,113 acres from the 12,776 of developable land leaves 7,663 of currently developed land that must accommodate redevelopment. In order words, 4,319 acres of new growth must occur within 7,663 acres that currently contains development, yielding 56% redevelopment of the existing built environment. 4. fflustr tenon of Scenarios Once the detailed analysis was completed, the scenarios must be illustrated in a format that creates a clear picture of where growth could be concentrated in the future, and appear distinctly different from one another. Therefore, the location of growth is generalized in a graphic format to show relative size and proportion of development as calculated in the detailed analysis. These will be presented at Community Forum 2. Once the preferred scenario is determined, more specific allocations of land uses will be will be developed in preparation of the Final Plan. The scenarios are illustrated simply to show that development can be accommodated in the framework suggested. Land uses are grouped to show a range of density and "mixing." This means that as density increases, so does the amount of mixed -use development. Also, land uses in the scenarios are not meant to be interpreted as single uses, but rather to illustrate a range of potential uses. As an example, low- density residential areas can include single - family residential in addition to schools and parks. Similarly, commercial areas can include a range of retail types, commercial offices, and employment locations. Land uses are illustrated generally, because the scenarios are meant to illustrate general locations of land uses. Developing more specific locations of potential future land uses will be included as part of the Preferred Scenario and Final Plan. . Character Overlays Once future land use has been placed according to the above methodology, the Alternative Scenarios will then be depicted to incorporate a series of character overlays that demonstrate high priority future development considerations, as expressed during Community Forum 1. These character overlays are important for determining future development character, but do not change the allocation of land use. These key themes include: Green Infrastructure Mobility 10 "Dclnton -Plan 4 .. 2 OV t.u� futrurc, • Placemaking Diagrams will be developed to illustrate these overlays as "constants" within the land use alternatives. The community will be asked to prioritize these items on a scale of 1 to 5 during Community Forum 2 to confirm that these should be included as part of Alternative Scenarios. 11 "Dclnton -Plan 4 .. 2 OV G. u� f utruf,f, 12 -9 -13 Denton Plan 2030 Preferred Growth Concept Methodology At Community Forum 2, held in October and November 2013, the public reviewed the Growth Trend Scenario and three alternatives to the Trend: 1) Centers Growth, 2) Corridors Growth, and 3) Compact Growth. The Growth Trend depicts where growth and development are most likely to occur over the next 15 to 20 years based on "susceptibility to change" factors, with no change to past trends and policies. The three alternatives to the trend, developed with the results of Community Forum Series 1 and guidance from the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) and the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), illustrate options for development patterns that use land more efficiently, promote mixed uses, and are more walkable, compact and fiscally responsible. Community Forum Series rwo Community Forum Series 2 was held at four events during October and November 2013. Approximately 100 total participants attended four open houses to learn about the issues facing Denton, and to express preferences regarding land use development scenarios and community character. The open houses included brief presentations and an opportunity for participants to learn about the growth and development trends in Denton, talk with the consultants and City of Denton staff, and to share their opinions about development. The open houses featured 5 stations with 41 informational or input boards. Stations 1 contained information about the Plan Update process, Station 2 provided background information on land use and density decisions, and Station 3 contained information about the budget and organizational structure of the City. Station 4 contained information and indicators on each of the scenarios on which participants were asked to vote. Indicators included initial findings on environmental and fiscal impact that helped weigh participants' decisions in voting for alternative futures. Station 5 presented options for Community Character, or elements of the city's environment, design, and mobility patterns that could be applied to any scenario. Participants were asked to vote on each which of these community character elements was most important to include. Voting was conducted using dots. A questionnaire was also distributed at the end of CF2 that allowed participants to share comments and feedback about the process and about the scenarios. The following tables summarize results from the open houses sessions. Approximately 100 community members voted for their preferred future scenario and community character considerations. Community Forum 2 Results Station 4's Preferred Land Use Scenario Votes Upon viewing and evaluating the four land use scenarios based on the information presented in Station 4 as well is the information from Stations 2 and 3, participants were asked to vote on "Dclnton flan 4 .. d OV 12 -9 -13 their preferred land use scenario for the future of Denton. Participants were able to vote for a first and second choice. The tally of the voting is shown in the table below.

This scenario was followed by Centers Growth (29 %) and Corridors Growth (26 %), each with just over a quarter of all votes. The Growth Trend received the least number of votes at 12 %. This information will be used to shape the Preferred Growth Concept that will be used to guide the development of the Future Land Use Plan for Denton. Station 4's Development Priorities Votes To gain a better understanding of why someone voted for a particular Scenario, participants were asked to vote for their top three priorities for future development in Denton. The results of this voting process are shown in the table below. What acre youir oveirallll priorities for ffutuire development in Denton?

"Dclnton flan 4 .. d OV t.u� futruf,c, Percentages are rounded. Based on the total number of votes, the top three priorities were: 1) Increased Walkability and Trails (22 %); 2) Jobs Close to Home and Accessibility by Walking and Transit (18 %); and 3) More Mixed use (17 %). These key priorities will be used to refine the Preferred Growth Concept, ensuring that the priorities will be able to be met with the proposed development pattern. The emphasis that the community placed on these development priorities will also help determine the importance of weighing the elements of the Preferred Concept and eventually including policies related to these themes in the Denton 2030 Plan. Station 5's Community Character Considerations Votes Community Character Considerations are items that can be implemented in any Growth Scenario that reflect important issues specific to Denton. Similar to the land use scenarios, community members were asked to vote for their first and second choices for those items that were "Very Important" (First Choice) to include within the Preferred Concept and those that were also "Important" (Second Choice). As with the land use scenarios, a weighted approach was used to determine overall score in which first choice votes were counted twice and second - choice votes once. The voting for Community Character Considerations revealed the following preferences: What is youir First Choice Coirnirnuinity Character EIleirneint "Veiny iirnpoirtaint?"

Although Conservation received the fewest number of votes, it received the highest number of "Dclnton flan 4 .. 2 OV 12 -9 -13 second choice votes, demonstrating that it was still an important item for many community members. Summary The input received at Community Forum 2 was very insightful for informing the future development pattern of the City of Denton over the next 15 -to -20 years. Community members were strongly in support of a Compact Growth pattern for the city, and for the clustering of development around key areas (i.e. Centers or Corridors) rather than fragmented sprawl as shown in the Growth Trend. A Compact development framework was further supported by the prioritization of mixed -use development, linking of the community through walkable pedestrian networks, and the potential for jobs located closer to home, reducing commuting times and creating balanced, mixed -use neighborhoods. Finally, the community confirmed that maintaining and increasing "Placemaking and Urban Vitality" is an essential attribute of their future Denton. This reinforces the need for maintaining a strong Downtown core and sense of place in existing character areas of Denton, allowing new development to complement those areas, as well as providing areas of new development that can be centers of community in the future. The desire for a Compact Growth pattern was further reinforced by the community's voting for multi -modal transportation options, which are more easily accommodated through compact growth, as well as protecting environmental resources through the inclusion of Green Infrastructure elements and Conservation areas. Many of these elements can be acknowledged through policy in the updated Denton 2030 Plan, as they affect much more than just new growth. "Dclnton -Plan 4 .. 2 OV t.u� futrurc, 101M What is the Preferred Growth Concept? The Preferred Growth Concept is a conceptual vision for the form, character and general location of development of the City that reflects the input and expressed preferences of the community participants. The general location of new development and areas for intensification will be the basis for the development of a Future Land Use Map that will be included in the Denton 2030 Comprehensive Plan Update. Process The Preferred Growth Concept combines various aspects of each of the scenarios and community character elements that received the highest number of votes. Additionally, comments received through the questionnaire distributed at CF2 helped add detail to formulation of the Preferred Concept. The refinement of the scenarios and the creation of the Preferred Growth Concept involves both the creation of a graphic combination of the scenarios, and the creation of a distribution of land uses demonstrating development capacity. The distribution of land uses will then be used in order to calculate the fiscal impact of the Preferred Concept, which can be compared to each of the four scenarios. The Compact Scenario received the highest number of votes at 33 percent of votes. As a result, this scenario provides a strong basis for the development of the Preferred Growth Concept. Adjustments were made to this base to incorporate elements of the Centers and Corridors growth scenarios which were considered to be the first or second choice by 29% and 26% of votes, respectively. The voting for the Centers and Corridors revealed that the community is interested in seeing development clustered around distinct locations, such as Corridors and Centers, rather than haphazard sprawl. In the creation of the Alternative Scenarios, development capacity studies were conducted in order to ensure that the projected amount of development could be accommodated under each scenario in the locations shown. The Growth Trend was created based solely on the "susceptibility to change" analysis, while the Alternatives Scenarios depicted more compact 12 -9 -13 "Dclnton flan 4 .. Z OV t.u� futrurc, growth occurring in more purposeful patterns (Centers, Corridors, Compact). Growth was placed based on underlying land use and zoning, surrounding context, and avoiding environmentally – sensitive areas. Growth was placed first in vacant or undeveloped areas, and then was placed in areas that could potentially redevelop. These steps are repeated for the Preferred Growth Concept, to assure that the projected development and the locations shown were feasible. Factors evaluated in this process included: • Existing land use • Context evaluation using aerial maps • Existing zoning • Approved subdivisions • Environmentally - sensitive areas • Vacant or underutilized areas • Areas adjacent to 1 -35 that could be affected by its widening • Areas adjacent to corridors currently being upgraded (i.e. Teasley and Mayhill) • Areas of gas well proliferation • Areas otherwise likely to redevelop • Areas in the vicinity of areas identified as important for placemaking and urban vitality In each scenario, the amount of projected land use that is needed to match population growth had to be achievable. These development amounts —of both residential and non - residential land uses —were consistent throughout the scenarios. The total amount of residential units and non - residential acreage will be met within the Preferred Growth Concept as well, with the proportions of development most closely matching the preferences of the community. The development capacity analysis will be conducted using GIS and will accompany the Preferred Growth Concept map, as well as the location of development according to Fiscal Impact Zone. In addition to simply accommodating land use, the Preferred Growth Concept also weighs the priorities of the community in choosing the land uses scenarios. In Community Forum 2, the highest priorities included "Increased Walkability and Trails (22 %)," "More Mixed Use (17 %)," and "Jobs Close to Home and Accessible by Walking and Transit (18 %)." Through the placement of land uses, the draft Preferred Growth Concept will encourage a shift towards more mixed -use development, bringing together compatible residential, commercial, office, institutional, or other uses within a walkable scale. The direction of the Preferred Growth Concept will allow for increased pedestrian activity, reduced car trips for short distances, expanded housing choices, and opportunities for an expanded pedestrian and transit network. Finally, inputs of the Community Character preferences help refine the Preferred Growth Concept. The voting for the Community Character considerations revealed a desire for " Placemaking and Urban Vitality" (38 %), "Multi -modal Access (22 %)," and "Green Infrastructure" (22 %) in the community. Conservation received 18% of the weighted votes and the highest amount of second - choice votes, indicating that it was still very important to the community. This underscores the importance of a diversity of building types, sensitivity to the 12 -9 -13 "Dclnton flan 4 .. 2 OV t.u� futrurc, 12 -9 -13 environment, and an appreciation for areas for community gathering to be included throughout Denton. Locations of existing and potential areas of urban vitality also help to refine the location and character of potential development areas illustrated within the Preferred Growth Concept as well as potential areas for conservation, multi -modal access and the green infrastructure network. These are illustrated as they appeared on the boards for Community Forum 2, overlaid with the preferred land use and development framework. The Preferred Growth Concept will also be informed by the Fiscal Impact Analysis that was conducted concurrently with the aforementioned process. Order of magnitude development costs were shared with the community at CF2, corresponding to each scenario, so served as a source of information for scenario evaluation. The votes received by the community demonstrate that the most fiscally sound scenario —the Compact Growth Scenario —was the most popular. However, in the voting of land use priorities, "Lower Infrastructure and Service Costs" received only 5% of votes, showing that this was not the most important consideration for the determination of their votes. The fiscal impact findings are will help determine the scenario(s) that are most fiscally responsible, which will serve as one means of defining the manner of directing the location of development and the Preferred Growth Concept. Within the Denton 2030 Plan document, the Preferred Growth Concept will precede the Land Use Plan, appearing either in the discussion of the Vision or within the introduction section on Land Use. The concept is meant to serve as an overarching framework for development. It is not the Final Land Use plan, but rather a conceptual diagram to demonstrate how the land use plan will be refined and updated to meet the needs of the community for the next 15 to 20 years. 7 Plati Our path lo the fulwo Pnaperod bytho City ofDonuon' D000mbor 2014 Exhibit B Staff, Planning and Zoning Commission, and City Council Conditions Conditions 41 through 437 are amendments that are being proposed by staff for clarification purposes.

There are four bedrooms and a bath located upstairs. As was common in that day, the bedrooms originally had no closets, and clothes were kept in "chiffarobes" or what we might call an armoire today. Mr. Lane added the upstairs closets himself. Notice the beautiful woodwork on the staircase and wainscoting as well as the wood floors. These and the light fixture above you as well as the push- button wall switches are all original to the house, although the electrical system has been updated to modern standards. The pump organ dates back to the 1880's and is originally from a small Welsh church in the United Kingdom. The entire front portion of the home is single layer wall construction with shiplap and newspaper insulation. The stained glass in the front door was added during the most recent renovations. Dining Room This is the original woodwork and flooring, slightly more elaborate than adjacent rooms due to the special significance of the dining room as a gathering place for family and guests. The built - in china cabinet contains leaded glass and the fireplace is built of gorgeous tiger oak, almost impossible to find these days. Most rooms had fireplaces, since they were the only sources of heat. The original fireplaces were lined with durable Italian tile, partially for beauty but also to reduce the risk of fire in these wooden homes. Living Room /Parlor The wood flooring, fireplace mantel, and ceiling wood beams are all original. The ceiling lights would of course have been added with the advent of electric lighting sometime in the early 1900's. Note the use of wallpaper on the ceiling with painted walls, a common decorative feature of the day. The dining table and buffet in this room were conveyed to the Lanes from Mrs. Raley's estate when they purchased the home in 1953. The pullout desk in the corner next to the entryway is a Civil War era piece. Master Bedroom /Master Bath The fireplace mantel is the original wood. The main portion of the master bedroom containing the fireplace was one of the original ground floor bedrooms. There were originally two outside front doors allowing access to the breezy porch on those hot summer days, one from the living room and one at the entryway. During the 1960's the east side of the wrap- around front porch was enclosed and converted to another bedroom. Originally the stained glass door also opened to the outside, but the porch space remaining there after the rest was closed off was quite small. So that space was used to form a sleeping nook for the bed and allow creation of the separate sitting area you now see in the master bedroom. The other part of the closed -off porch became the master bath and closet. The antique wall clock is a family heirloom that originally came from the Williams Store, a men's clothing store which was located on the east side of the square in what is now the Denton Foot and Ankle medical office. Central heat and air was first added to selected rooms downstairs in the 1980's but not until 2005 was the entire house retrofitted with central air. Study /Guest Bath Two identically -sized baths were added sometime after the original construction, located one directly above the other in this corner of the house for plumbing efficiency. These were both relocated in the 2005 renovations and a third bath added downstairs off the family room in a nod to modern convenience. The single original downstairs bathroom as well as a combination lounge /bedroom area were renovated into the current form in 2005. You can still see the frosted bathroom window in what is now the exercise /laundry room. The semi - circular wooden doorframe between the library and study was preserved from the original house. The bathtub and plumbing of the new guest bath are appropriate to the house but not original. On the bathroom wall you can see a treasured collection of antique medical items that were collected by Mary Jane Lane and gifted to her physician son -in -law. Family Room /Kitchen This portion of the house as well as the master bedroom, master bath, and the study were all completely reconstructed in 2005 although care was taken to match the wood trim as closely as possible. The kitchen has been enlarged although it retains much the same layout as it had when the Raleys and Lanes lived here. There was a small counter and dining area opposite the kitchen, which was enlarged to become the current family room. A new back porch with outdoor fireplace was also constructed, adding about 16 feet in total length to the back of the house. The original kitchen cookstove and fireplace footing was unearthed during renovation, the spot marked where the decorative antique stove now sits in the corner of the family room. That stove came from the historic house directly behind this home and is now used only as storage for grandchild toys! Beside the door leading to the dining room there is a display cabinet. In the back of that cabinet you can see some of the beadboard from the original construction. The swinging door between those rooms is also preserved. Most of the back yard features, including the terrace as well as much of the sidewalks and curbing are original. The waterfall, pond, adjacent stairs and rock work were added sometime prior to 1955 by Mrs. Raley although the water features had gone unused for years and were renewed by the current owners. The fountain had been filled in to form a flowerbed and was uncovered and rebuilt in 2005. Much of the landscaping was replaced during the recent renovations.
