Legislation Text
Agenda Information Sheet
DEPARTMENT: Economic Development
CM/ ACM: Howard Martin
Date: October 11, 2016
SUBJECT
Receive a report, hold a discussion, and give staff direction regarding the Downtown Reinvestment Grant Fund.
BACKGROUND
Created in 2007, the Downtown Reinvestment Grant Program provides cash reimbursement grants between
$5,000 and $25,000 for capital improvements made to buildings in the downtown area.
The program has three primary purposes:
• to preserve the history of Denton by restoring downtown buildings
• to give the Downtown Task Force, Economic Development Partnership Board, and City Council control
over the design of rehabilitations and new construction in the absence of design standards in the
downtown area
• to enhance the taxable value of the buildings, adding to the tax base
Currently, the Downtown Reinvestment Grant Program is Denton's only financial incentive tool available for
small businesses. The program is strictly for capital improvements, not operating costs. It is set up as a single -
payment reimbursement to property owners per building/business, and in some situations, tenants.
Reimbursement grants are available for the following types of projects:
• Facade Rehabilitation is defined as the removal of slipcovers or non-historic/added facades, repointing
brick or replacing mortar joints, replacing or restoring cornices, removing paint from brick, replacing
windows, restoring transom windows, roof and foundation work.
• New Awnings & Signs is defined as replacing, adding or repairing awnings & signs. Signs may include
signboards, projecting signs and pedestrian signage (includes window sign, hanging sign and
awning/canopy sign).
• Impact Fee Reimbursement is the reimbursement for City of Denton water, wastewater, and roadway
impact fees
• Utility Upgrades includes upgrades to water, wastewater and electrical service, including interior

File #: ID 16-1159, Version: 1
upgrades as well as exterior service upgrades.
In FY 2013-14, the grant fund was increased from $50,000 to $100,000 per year and is currently funded
through mixed beverage tax revenues to the City. Grants of $10,000 or less are subject to review by the
Downtown Task Force (DTF) and approval by the City Manager; grants of more than $10,000 are reviewed by
the Downtown Task Force and the Economic Development Partnership Board and approved by City Council.
During the FY 2015-16 budget deliberations, Council suspended the grant program effective Oct. 1, 2015,
pending its review. Two applications that were received in FY 2014-15, from Hop & Sting Brewery and
Armadillo Aleworks, were allowed to move forward. The Armadillo Aleworks application was approved by
Council on September 20, 2016.
Economic Development continued to accept applications for the program, with the caveat to applicants that the
program was suspended; the office received four applications between Oct. 1, 2015, and July 21, 2016. During
a July 21, 2016, work session, Council directed staff to distribute a total of $20,000 to grant applicants who had
submitted Oct. 1, 2015, and July 21, 2016. On August 11, 2016, the Downtown Task Force recommended that
Denton County Brewing Company and JT Clothiers receive $10,000, respectively, with the option to receive
the full amount they are eligible for, once the grant program is reinstated. On September 21, 2016, the EDP
Board reviewed these two applications and recommended that Council approve $25,000 for Denton County
Brewing and $20,000 for JT Clothiers, because it appears that Hop & Sting is not locating in downtown
Denton, thus freeing up that previously approved $25,000 from FY 2014-15.
During the July 21, 2016, Council work session, staff recommended continuing the grant program given its
success in preserving Denton's history via restoration of downtown buildings and the increase in property
values that can be attributed to those restorations. However, based on Council direction during the January 5,
2016, work session, staff recommended that the scope of the grant program be expanded to add targeted
redevelopment areas in addition to Downtown, such as major development corridors and entryways into the
city. Finally, staff proposed renaming the program to "Small Business Improvement Grant Program."
During Council's discussion on July 21, there were inquiries as to what the members of the Downtown Task
Force (DTF, a subcommittee of the EDP Board) and the EDP Board thought of the proposed changes. Further,
two members of the Council were absent from that day's meeting. In order to bring the item back to the DTF
and EDP Board and to allow the full Council to participate in the discussion, a third Work Session has been set
for October 11, 2016.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (Council, Boards, Commissions)
January 5, 2016 - During a work session, Council directed staff to further define target areas for the Downtown
Reinvestment Grant Program.
July 21, 2016 - During a second work session, Council directed staff to further define goals for the proposed
Small Business Improvement Grant Program. Council requested a third work session, which was set for
October 11, 2016.
August 11, 2016 - The Downtown Task Force (DTF) received a staff report regarding the Downtown
Reinvestment Grant, including ideas to expand the grant to other parts of town.
September 21, 2016 - The Economic Development Partnership Board (EDPB) received a staff report regarding

File #: ID 16-1159, Version: 1
the Downtown Reinvestment Grant, including ideas to expand the grant to other parts of town.
FISCAL INFORMATION
Since October 1, 2007, 41 grants have been awarded for a total of $401,195. Of those, seven expired without
the recipient receiving the grant due to issues with the projects. The Return on Investment (ROI) over the life of
the grant has been $1 (City) to $30 (private investment).
STRATEGIC PLAN RELATIONSHIP
The City of Denton's Strategic Plan is an action -oriented road map that will help the City achieve its vision.
The foundation for the plan is the five long-term Key Focus Areas (KFA): Organizational Excellence; Public
Infrastructure; Economic Development; Safe, Livable, and Family -Friendly Community; and Sustainability and
Environmental Stewardship. While individual items may support multiple KFAs, this specific City Council
agenda item contributes most directly to the following KFA and goal:
Related Key Focus Area: Economic Development
Related Goal: 3.4 Encourage development, redevelopment, recruitment, and retention

THE COMMUNITY (Continued)
community whose rapid growth has
affected its infrastructure as well as
its culture. Denton is approximately
95 square miles in territory and
strategically positioned approximately
37 miles northwest of Dallas and 35
miles northeast of Fort Worth. Located
on the Interstate 35 corridor at the
intersection of 1-35E and 1-35W, Denton
is approximately 25 miles from DFW
International Airport and 20 miles north
of Alliance Airport.
Denton is a rapidly growing community
with a long history as the County Seat
and the major urban center for Denton
County. The city is home to two state
universities - the University of North
Texas and Texas Woman's University,
with a combined enrollment in excess of
50,000 students. The city is also served
by the North Central Texas College, the
oldest two-year public college in Texas.
Higher education is supported by the
award-winning Denton Independent
School District serving more than 27,000
students in a 180 square mile district.
While the amenities of the major
metropolitan settings in Dallas and Fort
Worth are only minutes away, Denton
has a variety of performing arts, cultural,
and entertainment opportunities within
the community. Golf courses and nearby
lakes offer superior outdoor recreation.
The City and its surrounding area offer
theater, symphony orchestras, museums,
intercollegiate athletics and other cultural
and recreational amenities. Denton also
has 28 parks and over 300 acres of open

SUBJ: City Manager Recruitment—Semifinal Candidates and Options for Finalists Interviews
In the near future, you will receive binders with potential semifinalist candidates. The binders
will contain a Master Applicant List, with all applicants. For those individuals we suggest further
consideration, you will have two questionnaires, a Candidate Questionnaire and a Due
Diligence Questionnaire, along with their cover letter and resume. We are open to questions
about any of the individuals on the Master Applicant List not suggested for further
consideration.
It is very important that the list of candidates and their supporting documentation be treated as
confidential information. Some of the individuals may not have made their current employers
aware or have other valid reasons for desiring discretion at this point. As these candidates are
vetted and when you choose finalists, a public release will be in order and we will write a
proposed media release for this purpose.
As you review the documentation on each candidate, we suggest you categorize each in one of
three categories in advance of the meeting.
a. I would like to know more about this candidate
b. There is some concern(s) about this candidate or his/her qualifications
c. I have no further interest in this candidate.
With the binders, we will provide a form similar to this:

This will facilitate our October and November sessions when finalists are discussed and selected
and demonstrate where there is consensus around particular candidates.
When you have selected your finalists, we will gather additional information from those
candidates and conduct background checks and reference calls, which will be available before
you interview the candidates.
INTERVIEW OPTIONS
A number of options are available in terms of interviewing the finalist candidates.
a. City Council Interviews — We recommend, at this point, that the City Council collectively
interview the candidates for an hour to hour and a half each. We do not advise
individual interviews at this stage since the information developed will not be available
to the City Council as a whole and there is a liability potential if inappropriate or illegal
questions were to be asked. We will provide suggested interview questions and rating
forms.
b. Department Director and/or Assistant City Manager Panel — Some clients have the
finalists meet the Department Directors and/or Assistant City Manager(s). This is more
of a mechanism to determine how well each candidate might fit into the City team than
a formal interview.
c. Reception - There are several approaches to receptions. In some cases, there is a staff
reception where invited City employees can interact with the candidates, followed by a
community reception of selected stakeholders. In other cases, these can be conducted
concurrently. With comment cards available, the reception attendees can cite strengths
and potential concerns with each candidate. There will be a need to compile this
information promptly in order for the City Council to consider this input in their
deliberation of the candidates.
d. City Tours — Each finalist should receive a City tour, either individually or as a group. If a
person at a management level were to conduct these tours, they can provide valuable

d. City Tours — Each finalist should receive a City tour, either individually or as a group. If a
person at a management level were to conduct these tours, they can provide valuable
Denton City Manager Recruitment
Page 13
feedback about the type questions the candidates asked, how informed they were in
advance, and how well they interacted with others on the tour.
e. Spouses — We recommend that spouses be included at City expense to assist in
community familiarization and bonding. If a spouse is not sold on the community, it
lessens the likelihood the candidate will accept the job. Spouses will be provided
information as well as time to look at schools, community amenities, and housing
options if desired.
SAMPLE FORMAT (Two Day)
Day 1
Noon — Lunch on site with the Mayor and City Council (if available), Assistant City Managers,
Human Resources Director and Consultant. Note: depending on the number of Council
members present during lunch, this may have to be a posted meeting. This will give an
opportunity to informally meet the candidates and orient them to the process.

ALTERNATE FORMAT
An alternate option is the orientation lunch on the first day, followed by the candidates
through three stations: the City Council, Department Directors and City Tour. This would
involve three candidates interviewed the first day, followed by the reception and dinner.
The remaining candidates will meet with the three stations the second day. The primary
difference is that the City Tours will be individual, as opposed to a group tour.
INTERVIEW OUTCOME
The City Council should not feel any undue pressure to make an immediate decision on
their sole finalist. This a critical decision for the City Council, the staff and the community. If
at the end of the interviews, there is interest in considering a smaller number of candidates
to develop additional information, second interviews can be arranged. Some clients even
send representatives to the communities of those they desire to hire to develop additional
information.
We look forward to next steps in this important process.

Date: October 11, 2016
SUBJECT
Receive a report, hold a discussion and provide Staff direction regarding the establishment of a Charter Review
Committee.
BACKGROUND
In the past several months, citizens have suggested to the City Council to adopt a comprehensive ordinance
governing ethics among elected officials, appointed officials and key City Staff. However, there is an issue as
to whether the Denton City Charter's regulation governing ethics, which adopted the states conflict of interest
statute (Tex. Loc. Govt. Code, Chapter 171), as well as the City Charter's nepotism provision, prevents the City
from adopting a comprehensive ethics ordinance. Thus, at its September 27, 2016 Work Session, the City
Council determined that a citizens' Charter Review Committee should be created via resolution to address this
issue. In addition, the City Council also requested that other sections in the Denton City Charter be studied by
the Charter Review Committee for possible amendment.

SUBJECT
Consider approval of a resolution allowing Wine Squared to be the sole vendor allowed to sell alcoholic
beverages at the Denton Day of the Dead Festival, on October 29, 2016, upon certain conditions; authorizing
the City Manager or his designee to execute an agreement in conformity with this resolution; and providing for
an effective date.
BACKGROUND
In 2011, with the guidance and support of many of the businesses on Industrial and Hickory Streets, Denton's
Day of the Dead Festival was born. A grassroots movement from the beginning, it now has a life of its own
with coffin races, a lantern parade, a salsa cook -off, pumpkin patch, live music, arts and crafts, and, of course,
the original Halloween musical Cirque du Horror. All of this makes Denton's Day of the Dead something you
can't find anywhere else.
As in years past, the Williams Trade Square parking lot will be utilized for coffin race entrants to prep their
vehicles and for additional vendors. This year, Denton Day of the Dead Festival is requesting permission to sell
beer and wine and has partnered with Wine Squared, a Downtown business. Wine Squared is located on the
face of the Square.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the request to sell alcohol in the Williams Trade Square parking lot during the
Denton Day of the Dead Festival on October 29, 2016.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (Council, Boards, Commissions)
The City Council has approved a request each year of this event to sell alcohol in the Williams Trade Square
parking lot. In 2015, the City Council approved the request for Wine Squared to be the sole vendor allowed to
sell alcoholic beverages at the Denton Day of the Dead Festival.

Date: October 11, 2016
SUBJECT
Consider a request for an exception to the Noise Ordinance for the purpose of the Denton Day of the Dead
Festival, to be held in the Williams Trade Square parking lot and on Industrial and E. Hickory Streets, October
29, 2016, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. The exception is specifically requested to increase sound levels from 70 to 75
decibels.
BACKGROUND
In 2011, with the guidance and support of many of the businesses on Industrial and Hickory Streets, Denton's
Day of the Dead Festival was born. A grassroots movement from the beginning, it now has a life of its own
with coffin races, a lantern parade, a salsa cook -off, pumpkin patch, live music, arts and crafts, and, of course,
the original Halloween musical Cirque du Horror. All of this makes Denton's Day of the Dead something you
can't find anywhere else.
As in years past, the Williams Trade Square parking lot will be utilized for coffin race entrants to prep their
vehicles and for additional vendors. E. Hickory from Austin to Industrial will be the race venue. Industrial
Street from E. Hickory to Mulberry will have the main stage, vendors, and access to the children's activities.
The main stage, located at Industrial and Mulberry streets, will host several local live music groups to entertain
those in attendance. The lantern parade will start at Industrial and include E. Hickory St. and the Downtown
Square.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the request for the exception to the Noise Ordinance for the purpose of the
Denton Day of the Dead Festival to be held on October 29, 2016.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (Council, Boards, Commissions)
The City Council has approved an exception to the Noise Ordinance, for the purpose of the Denton Day of the
Dead Festival, each year of the event beginning in 2011.

SUBJECT
Consider approval of a resolution creating a Charter Review Committee to consider and advise the City Council
whether and in what manner to revise various provisions of the City Charter; and providing an effective date.
BACKGROUND
In the past several months, citizens have suggested to the City Council to adopt a comprehensive ordinance
governing ethics among elected officials, appointed officials and key City Staff. However, there is an issue as
to whether the Denton City Charter's regulation governing ethics, which adopted the states conflict of interest
statute (Tex. Loc. Govt. Code, Chapter 171), as well as the City Charter's nepotism provision, prevents the City
from adopting a comprehensive ethics ordinance. Thus, at its September 27, 2016 Work Session, the City
Council determined that a citizens' Charter Review Committee should be created via resolution to address this
issue. In addition, the City Council also requested that other sections in the Denton City Charter be studied by
the Charter Review Committee for possible amendment. Attached for the City Council's consideration is a
Resolution that establishes the citizens' Charter Review Committee.
OPTIONS
Approve or deny the Resolution.
RECOMMENDATION
City Staff recommends approval of the Resolution.

AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET
DEPARTMENT: Department of Development Services
ACM: Jon Fortune
DATE: October 11, 2016
SUBJECT
Hold a public hearing and consider approval of a request to amend the Rayzor Ranch Overlay District to
reclassify approximately ten acres from the South Mixed -Use District subarea to the South RR -2 District
subarea. The Rayzor Ranch Overlay District includes approximately 410 acres generally located on both sides
of West University Drive (US 380) between North Bonnie Brae Street and IH -35. The Planning and Zoning
Commission recommends approval (7-0).
BACKGROUND
The Rayzor Ranch Overlay District (RROD) is the document regulating the zoning, design, and development of
the mixed-use, master -planned Rayzor Ranch project generally located along US 380 between IH -35 and North
Bonnie Brae Street. The purpose of the RROD is to:
A. Ensure compatibility of new construction with the existing scale and characteristics of surrounding
properties; and
B. Protect and enhance specific land features which have characteristics distinct from lands and structures
outside the RROD; and
C. Provide within the Rayzor Ranch area a combination of land uses arranged and designed in accordance
with sound site planning principles and development techniques; and in such a manner as to be properly
related to each other, the immediate surrounding area, the planned mobility system, and other public
facilities, such as water and sewer systems, parks, schools and utilities.
The RROD is divided into two major districts; the "Marketplace" on the north side of US 380 and the "South
Campus" on the south side of US 380. Both of these districts are further subdivided into smaller sub -districts
identified in the Concept/Schematic Plan and Zoning Overlay in Exhibits B-1 and B-4 of the RROD,
respectively:
• Marketplace:
o RR -2
o RR -3
o Residential Area
• South Campus:
o RR -1
o RR -2
o South RR -2

o South Mixed Use
o DME Substation
o Gas Well Drill Pad
Each sub -district is intended to have its own unique set of zoning, architectural, landscape, and sign standards,
however not all the sub -districts have approved standards in the ordinance. Sub -districts that do not currently
have approved design standards include the Residential Area of the Marketplace and the South Mixed Use area
of the South Campus. These standards are intended to be incorporated into the ordinance prior to the
development of these respective phases of the Rayzor Ranch district.
The applicant is requesting a reclassification of approximately 10 acres located at the northeast corner of IH -35
and Panhandle Street. This property is currently classified as a South Mixed -Use sub -district of the South
Campus. Since the design standards for the South Mixed Use sub -district have not yet been adopted, the
applicant is requesting to reclassify the subject property to South RR -2, in order to apply South RR -2 design
standards to a proposed retail use.
If the request is approved, all permitted uses and general regulations associated with the South RR -2 would
apply the subject property. For reference, a comparison table of applicable regulations for the South RR -2 and
South Mixed Use District subareas is attached. The existing architectural, landscape, and sign standards are also
found in Exhibits C-1, D-1 and E-1, respectively, of the RROD in Ordinance 2016-017.
There are two primary differences between these districts:
• South RR -2 (Proposed): The South RR -2 District is purely a non-residential district, subject to the
architectural, landscape, and sign guidelines in Exhibits C-1, D-1, and E-1 of the RROD.
• South Mixed Use (Existing): The South Mixed Use District permits a mix of residential and non-
residential uses. The architectural, landscape, and sign guidelines for the South Mixed Use District,
however, have not yet approved and are intended to be incorporated at a later date as Exhibits C-2, D-2,
and E-2.

BACKGROUND:
The Rayzor Ranch Overlay District (RROD) is the document regulating the zoning, design, and development of
the mixed-use, master -planned Rayzor Ranch project generally located along US 380 between IH -35 and North
Bonnie Brae Street. The purpose of the RROD is to:
A. Ensure compatibility of new construction with the existing scale and characteristics of surrounding

The RROD is divided into two major districts; the "Marketplace" on the north side of US 380 and the "South

Each sub -district is intended to have its own unique set of zoning, architectural, landscape, and sign standards,
however not all the sub -districts have approved standards in the ordinance. Sub -districts that do not currently
have approved design standards include the Residential Area of the Marketplace and the South Mixed Use area
of the South Campus. These standards are intended to be incorporated into the ordinance prior to the
development of these respective phases of the Rayzor Ranch district.
REQUEST:
The applicant is requesting a reclassification of approximately 10 acres located at the northeast corner of IH -35
and Panhandle Street. This property is currently classified as a South Mixed -Use sub -district of the South
Campus. Since the design standards for the South Mixed Use sub -district have not yet been adopted, the
applicant is requesting to reclassify the subject property to South RR -2, in order to apply South RR -2 design
standards to a proposed retail use.
If the request is approved, all permitted uses and general regulations associated with the South RR -2 would
apply the subject property. For reference, a comparison table of applicable regulations for the South RR -2 and
South Mixed Use District subareas is attached. The existing architectural, landscape, and sign standards are also
found in Exhibits C-1, D-1 and E-1, respectively, of the RROD in Ordinance 2016-017.
There are two primary differences between these districts:
• South RR -2 (Proposed): The South RR -2 District is purely a non-residential district, subject to the
architectural, landscape, and sign guidelines in Exhibits C-1, D-1, and E-1 of the RROD.
• South Mixed Use (Existing): The South Mixed Use District permits a mix of residential and non-
residential uses. The architectural, landscape, and sign guidelines for the South Mixed Use District,
however, have not yet approved and are intended to be incorporated at a later date as Exhibits C-2, D-2,
and E-2.
SITE DATA:
The subject property includes ten acres of undeveloped land at the future intersection of IH -35 and Panhandle
Street. Panhandle Street will form the southern boundary of the property, however it has not been constructed at
this time. Upon platting of the property, the applicant will be required to construct the full, four -lane section of
Panhandle Street from IH -35 to the southeastern corner of the property.
USE OF PROPERTY UNDER CURRENT ZONING:
The subject property is currently located within the South Mixed Use District of the RROD. This district is
intended to include a mix of retail, office, multifamily, and single-family uses. The base zoning district of the
subject property is Regional Center Commercial Downtown (RCC -D) District. A comparison table with a list
of permitted uses for the South Mixed Use and South RR -2 subareas is included for reference.

property. Surrounding properties to the east and south are part of the South Mixed Use District, which generally
permit the same non-residential uses as the South RR -2 District in addition to a number of residential uses.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The subject property is located within an area designated as "Regional Mixed Use." This designation applies to
areas that serve as regional destinations within Denton. Development may include moderate and high density
residential, commercial, office, entertainment and other uses except industrial, at the highest levels of scale and
density within the city. Unique development standards are proposed to create the walkable urban character and
day and nighttime activity of an urban center. This designation is located primarily along I-35 interchanges and
primary arterials to encourage the greatest regional accessibility. Future development in Regional Mixed Use
areas will complement and embrace existing, viable uses, and raise the standard of design to increase their
regional draw, accommodate greater connectivity and mobility options, and create a sense of place.
Development criteria of the Regional Mixed Use future land use designation include:
a) A regional activity center is considerably larger and more diverse in its land uses than any other activity
center. It includes vertically integrated uses where different use may occur on each floor of the
building.
b) Allowable uses may include national retailers, employment, restaurants and entertainment venues, and
high-density housing.
c) Uses should create destinations and augment the regional draw and image of Denton.
d) Commercial uses should be programmed to serve a regional market and to be compatible with adjacent
land uses.
e) Diverse uses should be located in close proximity to one another so that all users are accessible from a
single stop or by walking or bicycling.
f) Development should be sited accessible to transit services.
g) Places of worship, schools, and parks and open space are allowed by right.
h) The character of this area should be maintained by ensuring that new development is sensitive to the
surrounding built and natural context in scale and form as described above.
i) Proposals should be presented and reviewed according to the degree to which they achieve the goals of
the Regional Mixed Use land use and may be the subject of Small Area Plans when significant
developments are proposed.
CONSIDERATIONS:
1. The applicant is requesting to reclassify the approximately 10 -acre property from the South Mixed Use
District to the South RR -2 District so that a proposed retail use may be designed in accordance with the
existing site design standards for South RR -2. Since retail uses are permitted in both districts and the two
subareas have comparable zoning regulations, the request will primarily affect site design standards that
City of Denton Page 3 of 5 Printed on 9/23/2016
povveied by I_egist9i I;,
File #: Z16-0013, Version:
will be applied to the subject property.
2. If approved, however, the request would remove the ability for the site to be developed with single-
family, townhome, and multi -family uses. As the subject property is adjacent to an interstate highway, staff
does not consider the removal of these residential uses on this particular property to be detrimental to the
integrity of South Mixed Use District or the overall RROD.
The proposed request would allow the subject property to be designed and constructed consistent with
existing development. Recently approved site plans within this district include In -N -Out, Chili's, Raising
Cane's, Winco, and two multi -tenant buildings containing various retail and restaurant uses.
4. The site design standards for the South Mixed Use District have not yet been included in the RROD.
Until these standards are approved, it is difficult to determine the impact that this request may have on the
overall aesthetics in the South Mixed Use District area. However, considering that the subject property has
frontage along IH -35 and Panhandle Street, staff does not anticipate that the eventual design standards
regarding non-residential development for the South Mixed Use District will be substantially different from
those already approved in South RR -2. It is anticipated that the primary difference in the standards for the
South Mixed Use District will be in regard to the inclusion of site design guidelines for residential
development.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the request as it is compatible with the surrounding property and is consistent
with the goals and objectives of the Denton Plan 2030.
OPTIONS:
1. Recommend approval as submitted.
2. Recommend approval subject to conditions.
3. Recommend denial.
4. Table the item.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION:
To comply with the public hearing notice requirements, 91 notices were sent to property owners within 200 feet
of the subject property, 237 courtesy notices were sent to physical addresses within 500 feet of the subject
property, a notice was published in the Denton Record Chronicle, and signs were placed on the property.

B. All replacement trees must be Large Canopy Trees from the
Approved Plant List found in Appendix A.
C. A performance bond is required prior to the issuance of a
building permit for each phase of Rayzor Ranch. The purpose of
the performance bond is to ensure that the landscape and trees
are planted and well maintained. Upon completion of the three
(3) year establishment period for all plantings within the Rayzor
Ranch project, the City shall inspect the trees to determine if
June 10, 2010 Page 5
at �z nN s t LANDSCAPE SNa ll
90% of the trees are healthy and have a reasonable chance of
surviving to maturity. Upon such a finding, the City shall release
the performance bond. If the applicant does not take remedial
steps to bring the property into compliance, the City shall make
demand for payment of the bond. The City may use all legal
remedies to enforce this requirement, in addition making
demand on the bond.
D. Tree mitigation will also be subject to the criteria established in
Section 35.7.15.5 of the Rayzor Ranch Overlay District.
Article 6 Interim Landscape Areas
Final right-of-way screening along US 380 must be installed within
six (6) months after the final certificate of occupancy is issued for
80% of the lots fronting U.S. 380 or within two years of the first
certificate of occupancy fronting on U.S. 380. This is to ensure that
landscaping is uniform at the time of installation.
Article 7 Amendments to the Landscape Plan

landscape plan and plant materials that otherwise comply with the
Overlay District ordinance and do not:
1. Reduce the perimeter landscape buffer strip shown on the
original landscape plan;
2. Detrimentally affect the original landscape plan's aesthetic
function relative to adjacent right-of-way or surrounding
property; or
3. Detrimentally affect the original landscape plan's screening
or buffering function.

RAYZOR RANCH SIGN STANDARDS
SOUTH RR -2 AND TOWN CENTER
Unique and creative signage and graphic design adds visual interest to and helps define
the urban character of the Rayzor Ranch Town Center (RRTC) area including the RR -1
and South RR -2 subareas. Innovative signage and graphics programs with special size,
placement and materials help create a strong identity for the overall Rayzor Ranch
Community.
These special standards and standards permit a wide range of signage and graphic
types and materials, including both onsite project/tenant identification and advertising,
and offsite advertising that are not otherwise permissible, to promote and energize the
area through installation of creative signs and graphics.
The Rayzor Ranch Sign Standards use three (3) sub -districts or sign areas within the
South RR -2 and Town Center area to ensure the ability to introduce innovative,
stimulating and well-designed signage and graphics throughout the area. The first area
is adjacent to Rayzor Ranch Marketplace along US 380/University Drive providing a
recognizable streetscape into Rayzor Ranch. The second area is located along the
Interstate Highway 35 (IH 35) corridor for greater identification of the overall Rayzor
Ranch project and major tenants within Town Center. And the third district is located in
the core of the Town Center area corresponding to the RR -1 zoning area focusing the
greatest intensity for entertainment, people gathering and active use areas.
See Appendix 1 for the RRTC Sign District areas exhibit.

AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET
DEPARTMENT: Department of Development Services
ACM: Jon Fortune
DATE: October 11, 2016
SUBJECT
Hold a public hearing and consider an amendment to the Rayzor Ranch Overlay District to provide design
standards and criteria for multi -family development within the South Mixed Use District subarea. The Rayzor
Ranch Overlay District includes approximately 410 acres generally located along West University Drive (US
380) between North Bonnie Brae Street and IH -35. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends
approval (7-0).
BACKGROUND
The Rayzor Ranch Overlay District (RROD) is the document regulating the zoning, design, and development of
the mixed-use, master -planned Rayzor Ranch project generally located along US 380 between IH -35 and North
Bonnie Brae Street. The purpose of the RROD is to:
A. Ensure compatibility of new construction with the existing scale and characteristics of surrounding
properties; and
B. Protect and enhance specific land features which have characteristics distinct from lands and structures
outside the RROD; and
C. Provide within the Rayzor Ranch area a combination of land uses arranged and designed in accordance
with sound site planning principles and development techniques; and in such a manner as to be properly
related to each other, the immediate surrounding area, the planned mobility system, and other public
facilities, such as water and sewer systems, parks, schools and utilities.
The current overlay standards have been in place since 2010, however the architectural, landscape, and signage
standards for various sub -districts of the RROD have not all been incorporated into the ordinance. Sub -districts
that do not currently have approved design standards include the residential area north of the area between Wal-
Mart and Academy and the South Mixed Use area primarily located between Heritage Trail Boulevard and
North Bonnie Brae Street. In addition, there are currently no guidelines specific to multifamily development
identified in the approved ordinance. Design standards for these areas were intended to be incorporated into the
ordinance prior to the development of these respective phases of the Rayzor Ranch district.
The owner is currently planning to develop a multi -family project and has submitted a request for approval of
comprehensive design standards specific to multi -family to be incorporated into the RROD. Guidelines for
multi -family in the South Mixed Used District (Exhibit C-3), were originally approved with the update of the
RROD in 2010. These guidelines outlined limited requirements, but contained no specific language for
architectural, landscaping, and signage requirements. The proposed amendments to Exhibit C-3 include the

RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval of this request (7-0).
The Development Review Committee recommends approval of this request.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (Council, Boards, Commissions)
On September 28, 2016, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the request (7-0).
STRATEGIC PLAN RELATIONSHIP
The City of Denton's Strategic Plan is an action -oriented road map that will help the City achieve its vision.
The foundation for the plan is the five long-term Key Focus Areas (KFA): Organizational Excellence; Public
Infrastructure; Economic Development; Safe, Livable, and Family -Friendly Community; and Sustainability and
Environmental Stewardship. While individual items may support multiple KFAs, this specific City Council
agenda item contributes most directly to the following KFA and goal:

Attached is a comparison table of the city-wide multi -family standards in Subchapter 13 of the Denton
Development Code and the proposed multifamily design standards.
CONSIDERATIONS:
Overall the proposed standards are generally consistent with the city-wide standards found in Subchapter 13 of
the Denton Development Code (DDC). Enhancements above the city-wide standards include a requirement to
provide more variety in building materials and architectural details and stricter regulations for ground signage.
However, the proposed amendment lacks a palette of materials and colors that are consistent with the
Marketplace and Town Center.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the request as it is compatible with the surrounding property and is consistent
with the goals and objectives of the Denton Plan 2030.
OPTIONS:
1. Recommend approval as submitted.
2. Recommend approval subject to conditions.
3. Recommend denial.
4. Table the item.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION:
To comply with the public hearing notice requirements, 91 notices were sent to property owners within 200 feet
of the subject property, 237 courtesy notices were sent to physical addresses within 500 feet of the subject
property, a notice was published in the Denton Record Chronicle, and signs were placed on the property.

EXHIBIT C-3
RAYZOR RANCH MULTI -FAMILY GUIDELINES
The following provisions apply to all Multi -Family Tracts and Lots located within the Rayzor Ranch
South Campus and replaces Section 35.13.13.2 of the Denton Development Code, in its entirety. All
other provisions of Subchapter 13 apply unless otherwise stated.
A. Site Design & Orientation
1. Buildings shall be located within 20 feet of the property line for at least 50% of the total
frontage along all streets within public right-of-way. Up to an additional 10 feet from the
.property line may be granted to reasonably accommodate enhanced sidewalks, street
trees, landscaping, or other requirements that would otherwise be limited due to
easements or other encumbrances.
2. Parking is not permitted between front facades of buildings and streets within public
right-of-way.
3. All buildings abutting an existing single-family use or district outside of the Rayzor
Ranch Overlay District shall comply with the Residential Proximity Slope. No part of any
building may extend beyond the Residential Proximity Slope.
a. Residential Proximity Slope is represented by two planes projected upward and
outward from a specific property or site, as defined by the text and diagrams
below:
i. The first plane is a vertical plane extending through the boundary line
of a specific property or site at the building setback line up to a height
of 40 feet.
ii. The second plane extends upwards and towards the restricted building
at a slope of 35 degrees from horizontal, from its intersection with the
top of the first plane.
iii. The horizontal distances used to calculate the height restrictions
imposed by the residential proximity slope may be determined by using
the lot, block, and right- of -way dimensions.
