Receive a report, hold a discussion, and give staff direction regarding the draft annual report of oil and gas
well inspection activities conducted by Modern Geosciences.
On October 24, 2017 the City Council approved Ordinance 2017-328 authorizing the award of a
professional services agreement with Modern Geosciences for inspecting oil and gas facilities in the city
limits of Denton in an amount not to exceed $250,000. Using this outside contracting service provides
technological expertise, more capable and varied instrumentation, and more extensive reporting compared
to the inspections conducted by the City of Denton’s Gas Well Inspections Division. The agreement
specifies that Modern Geosciences will provide the following services:
• Enhancing the current Geographic Information Systems (GIS) database
• Completing “Standard” inspections for all items currently inspected by the City of Denton’s Gas
Well Inspections division
• Completing “Fence line” inspections for methane, hydrogen sulfide, total volatile organic
compounds (tVOCs), naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM), noise, and particulate matter
• Completing “Near equipment” inspections using Forward Looking Infra-Red Optical Gas
Recognition (FLIR-OGI), methane, and NORM meters
• Providing Reports for all inspection activities, including inspection checklists, site photos, and
GIS information, as completed
• Providing a comprehensive annual report.
The agreement specifies that Modern Geosciences will inspect wells based on priority status. Low
priority wells are those that are greater than 1000 feet from a sensitive use and are inspected one time
every two years. Moderate priority sites are those that are 300 to 1000 feet from a sensitive use and are
inspected once per year. High priority sites are those that are less than 300 feet from a sensitive use and
are inspected two times per year.
Modern Geosciences completed the Geographical Information System (GIS) database work in fall 2017,
and then began inspections in early 2018. Once the first round of inspections was completed, the
reporting format was finalized and the City of Denton’s gas well locator map was revised so that both
City of Denton and Modern Geosciences inspection reports could be viewed on a per well and per
operator basis. Inspection reports can now be viewed on an individual well basis directly from the map, or
can be viewed by using the “search for wells” tool on the right of the main web page:
http://gis.cityofdenton.com/CODPublic/gaswell.html As outlined in the list above, Modern Geosciences
was also tasked with providing a comprehensive annual report once all inspection activities were
completed. While the Modern Geosciences still has the second round of some high priority sites pending,
a draft annual report has been completed. Dr. Kenneth Tramm from Modern Geosciences will present an
overview of the draft report to the City Council for discussion and feedback.
The contract with Modern Geosciences was approved via Ordinance 2017-328 on October 24, 2017.

Receive a report; hold a discussion, and give staff direction regarding an overview of the Gas Well
goals and accomplishments, process improvements, and budget in preparation for
the FY 2018-19 Proposed Budget.
The purpose of this work session is to provide an overview of Gas Well Inspections division, including
major responsibilities, goals and accomplishments, process improvements, and budget. The Gas Well
Inspection division was moved from Development Services to Environmental Services during the summer
of 2017. At the time of this move, there had been a single employee in the division since 2016, with
three additional vacant positions in the budget. During October 2017, the City Council approved a one
year contract with Modern Geosciences to perform enhanced monitoring and inspection activities, which
was paid for by the salary savings associated with the three vacant positions. These monitoring and
inspection activities are in addition to the semi-annual inspections conducted by the City of Denton, and
included substantially more inspection equipment and capabilities.The Modern Geosciences inspections
activities have been ongoing, and a report summarizing results is being presented to the City Council as a
separate work session item. The contract expires at the end of October 2018, and one of the key issues to
discussfor the fiscal year 2018-19 Gas Well Inspections division budget is whether the City Council
prefers to enter into another contract with Modern Geosciences to continue inspection activities. Staff has
provided details in the presentation (Exhibit 2) comparing inspection activities completed by the City of
Denton and those done by Modern Geosciences.Cost estimates of completing the inspection and
monitoring activities currently done by Modern Geosciences using City of Denton staff and purchasing
the needed equipment are also provided.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Right-of-way (ROW) mowing and maintenance conducted by the Parks and Recreation
Department (PARD) and Community Improvement Services (CIS)
BACKGROUND:
th
During the July 17 Council Meeting, PARD was asked to provide a summary of the ROW
maintenance managed by the department compared to the ROW maintenance performed by CIS.
DISCUSSION:
and 60 acres of medians. The properties include city streets such as Bonnie Brae and Vintage,
farmto-market (FM) roads including FM 2153 and FM 428, and state roadways like east Hwy
as Jim Christal, Masch Branch, and Cowling. Maintenance includes mowing and roadside trash
pick-up and is performed by a combination of PARD staff and contracted service providers. PARD
currently allocates $89,740 annually for ROW mowing and maintenance performed by contractors.
A supplemental request was submitted for FY 18-19 to increase the contract amount allocated for
ROW. The request proposes sections of ROW located along the borders of the city limits currently
mowed by PARD staff be transferred to the mowing contract inventory. This would allow PARD
to re-allocate staff and resources to the core of the city.
CIS is also tasked with maintaining approximately 240 acres of ROW property under the Enhanced
Enhancement Program (LEEP) in 2014. The purpose was to promote economic development by
creating a positive first impression of our community through the maintenance and beautification
roadside trash pick-up was proposed to be done by contracted services. CIS was identified as the
appropriate department to manage the program as it aligned with their property maintenance
mission. The program was first funded in FY 14-15 and covered eight roadways: Teasley Lane,
McKinney Street, University Drive, Country Club Road, Hickory Creek Road, Locust Street, Elm
Street, Mingo Road. Funding was increased the following year to expand the program. Today, the
program continues to focus on major entryways and properties with high visibility.
PARD and CIS work closely together to ensure there are no duplications of resources. As new
property is added to the maintenance inventory, the departments consult with each other to
coordinate activities. PARD and CIS will be performing a more comprehensive analysis to identify
and explore opportunities for additional efficiencies.

AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET
DEPARTMENT: Denton Municipal Electric
CM: Todd Hileman
DATE: August 13, 2018
SUBJECT
Receive a report, hold a discussion, and give staff direction regarding proposed updates to the GreenSense
Incentive Program, the GreenSense Incentive Program Manual, and Distributed Generation Manual for FY
2018-19.
BACKGROUND
Denton Municipal Electric (DME) customers that choose to invest in energy efficiency and conservation
upgrades to their property may be eligible to participate in the City’s GreenSense Incentive Program,
which offers billing credits and cash rebates for a variety of upgrades. The current GreenSense Incentive
Program includes:
energy efficiency rebates for residential and multifamily customers,
solar photovoltaic installation rebates,
commercial standard offer incentives,
commercial engineering audits, and
ERCOT’s Emergency Response Service.
Each year the GreenSense Incentive Program Manual is reviewed and modified to adapt to the ever-
changing prices, standards, and findings associated with energy efficiency and conservation measures and
practices. The proposed updates and modifications for the FY 2018-19 GreenSense Program include:
General clean-up and standardization of language throughout program manual
Adding a rebate for do-it-yourself (DIY) weatherization supplies
Replacing the flat rebate level with graduated rebate based on size for solar photovoltaic systems
In addition to all-electric vehicles, clarifying that plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles (such as the
Chevrolet Volt) also qualify for the EV purchase rebate
Removal of minimum demand requirement for Standard Offer Incentives
Solar rebate budget is increased from $300,000 to $500,000
In order to provide as many incentives to customers that install smaller systems, staff is proposing to
replace the flat solar rebate to one that is tiered based on the size of the system.
In FY 2017-18, the flat solar rebate was 75¢ per AC watt up to $30,000, not to exceed 50% of the total
project cost. There were 57 residential participants and one commercial participant that took advantage of
the solar rebate before the budgeted $300,000 funds were depleted in December, 2017.
The tiered solar rebate being proposed by staff is as follows (cap is still $30,000 and the rebate cannot
exceed 50% of total project cost):
3.0 kW to 5.0 kW = 80¢ per AC watt for solar only or $1.20 per AC watt for solar with battery
5.1 kW to 10 kW = 60¢ per AC watt for solar only or 90¢ per AC watt for solar with battery
Above 10.01 kW = 40¢ per AC watt for solar only or 60¢ per AC watt for solar with battery
If the solar rebate had been tiered in FY18 as staff proposes, 81 residential participants and one commercial
participant would have received a solar rebate without depleting budgeted funds until July, 2018.
In addition to the tiered rebates, under which more customers can receive rebates, the electric utility is
proposing to increase the FY19 budget from $300,000 to $500,000. A waitlist is also being proposed
when/if budgeted amounts are exhausted.
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: Public Infrastructure
Related Goal: 2.3 Promote superior utility services and facilities

GreenSense Incentive Program Manual
Program Introduction
The objective of the GreenSense Incentive Program is to reduce energy demand and consumption by
promoting energy conservation, thereby reducing the utility bills of City customers, reducing the peak
load of the Cityelectric system, reducing emissions in the state, and promoting energy conservation.
The Program offers incentives, in the form of credits on the electric service bills of
retail customers. Cash incentives may be paid to retail customers for the installation of photovoltaic
applications.
In light of additional costs associated with the GreenSense Incentive Program and to
mitigate potential risk to ratepayers, any participant in the Program must be, at the time this program
is applied for and continuing while such program is in effect, a customer in good standing of all
Denton Municipal Utilities, including Solid Waste services. Unless legal review procedures have
been invoked in good faith regarding the obligation, a customer in good standing for the purpose of
this Rider is defined as a customer not owing any unpaid utility or solid waste debt obligation that is
over forty-five (45) days past due to the City of Denton, Texas during the previous 12 months.
Program applicants will be able to qualify for multiple incentives simultaneously, unless specified in
the individual incentive guidelines. A separate application may be necessary for each incentive. The
Program will be in effect each fiscal year beginning on October 1, until the allotted funding is depleted
or until cancellation of the program by the City. At the time the funds are depleted, no additional
applications for participation will be accepted until the next fiscal year.
Qualifying applicants must receive electric service from the City. The Program guidelines and
payments are subject to change by the City without prior notice. The City may, at any time,
discontinue the Program without prior notice. The current program guidelines may be found in
the GreenSense Incentive Program Manual located at www.cityofdenton.com.
Application for Payment
In order for energy efficient upgrades to qualify under the Program Guidelines, an Application for
Payment form must be completed and submitted within thirty (30) days of installation of the energy
efficient upgrades. For the overall effects of the energy efficiency upgrades to be measurable and
verifiable through the deemed standards approved by the Public Utility Commission of Texas
(PUCT), the complete information must be recorded for each installation. Applications for
Payment, which must be accompanied by a copy of the invoice detailing work completed and
efficiency measures installed as well as any technical data on the installed energy efficient upgrade,
must be complete and submitted to the Conservation Program Coordinator.
Payment
Some energy efficiency upgrades must be permitted and shall be inspected and approved by the
form of a rebate credit to the electric utility accounts of City customers that purchase the qualifying
energy efficiency upgrades. After submitting a Request for Payment, customers can expect to
receive the rebate credit in 4 to 10 weeks. Incomplete or erroneous information can cause delays
in payment.

available for deployment in an electric grid emergency. Customers may shed load or start backup
generators to fulfill their obligations. Those interested in participating in this program will be able
to choose between a ten (10) minute (ERS-10) and thirty (30) minute (ERS-30) deployment.
Customers will be able to choose from six time periods:
for one or more ERS Time Periods. Time Periods are given within a four-month Contract Period:
October through January, February through May, and June through September. Customers bid for
specific Time Periods and ERCOT awards contacts based on price and location. This Service will
be in effect each fiscal year beginning on October 1, until program cancellation by ERCOT.
The ERS service will not be activated until the total anticipated reduction amount enrolled exceeds
2,000 kW.
To qualify for this service, applicants must receive electric service from .

Program Participant
This program is only for General Service Medium (GSM), General Service Large (GSL) and
General Service Time of Use (TGS) customers who voluntarily enroll in the Service and have an
interval data recorder or smart meter. To be considered for this service, customers must have a
historic peak demand of at least 200 kW. DME retains the sole right to determine eligibility for
ERS.
Customers must successfully complete unannounced testing requirements that consist of an
approximately thirty (30) minute curtailment. Participants must have a system in place that allows
to drop committed load within eight (8) or twenty five (25) minutes.
The ERS program states a customer shall be obligated for a maximum deployment time of eight
(8) cumulative hours during a contract period which can be spread over two events. In addition
there is a one hour test that can be called on an unannounced basis by ERCOT. While the ERS
program states a customer is obligated for up to eight hours of deployment, ERCOT also reserves
the right to maintain ERS response service an additional four hours if necessary. This can result
in an ERS provider ultimately providing up to twelve (12) hours of total response service during a
contract period. Upon completion of a deployment event, customers shall return to a condition that
will allow them to meet their contracted obligations within ten (10) hours.
Determination of an Event
ERCOT will deploy ERS-10 only during Energy Emergency Alerts (EEA) level 2 or 3 and may
deploy ERS-30 only during EEA levels 1, 2 or 3.
EEA Level 1 Power Watch: < 2,300 MW of on-line reserves
EEA Level 2 Power Warning: < 1,750 MW of on-line reserves
EEA Level 3 Power Emergency: On-line reserves continue to decline
Compensation
Participants are paid the Market Clearing Price if their ERS offer is accepted by ERCOT. ERCOT
pays based on the availability and performance of the committed customer. All payments are made
to the EMO by ERCOT seventy (70) days after end of the Contract Period. Compensation shall be
based on actual hours in each Time Period.
The penalties for non-compliance may be a reduction or elimination in capacity payments and
possible suspension from the Service.
ERCOT communicates directly with EMO as a QSE. To participate in ERS, a customer
must have a contract with City EMO, which will provide all the administration of the Service.
EMO services fee will be twenty-five (25) percent of awarded Market Clearing price.
Award = Clearing Price x MW Committed x Number of Hours

2nd1 Edition
Introduction
This City of Denton (City) Distributed Generation Manual (Manual) has been prepared for use by
both City personnel and potential Distributed Generation owners to connect and operate systems
less than one megawatt (MW). Any Distributed Generation of one MW and over will be addressed
on a case by case basis.
It is the intent of the City to allow all citizens to install Distributed Generation (DG), provided the
DG facility does not adversely affect the safety of emergency personnel, the general public and
those that may work on the electrical system. The safety goal also assures Denton Municipal
ElectriDME) distribution does not compromise reliability and the service quality of all DME
customers. It is the responsibility of the DG owner to determine any economic benefits of DG
operation.
The electrical requirements in this Manual apply only to citizens that have an electric account with
electrical distribution system require approval by DME prior to any other City department process
and approval.
DG is a

any way. Stand-alone facilities shall be installed in a manner that no
Interconnected Unit
system so that parallel operation (on-site generation) can occur.
Examples of DG include, but are not limited to, systems that generate or store energy such as solar
photovoltaic, wind, energy storage, combined heat and power, fuel cells, batteries, micro-turbines,
reciprocating engines, gas and diesel generators.
DG is a large investment and requires a bit of research before making a decision. The City
encourages all residents interested in buying DG to talk to several installers, receive as many quotes
needed to feel confident about DG, and understand what to expect before, during, and after DG is
installed. Remember: this manual and City staff are available to answer questions and help clear
any confusion.
The City of Denton reserves the right to amend this Manual at any time. To download the latest
edition, this Manual is located on the City of Denton website at: www.cityofdenton.com.

GreenSense Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Incentive
The incentive for qualifying interconnected PV system is as follows:
PV ONLY PV with Battery Storage
3.0 kW to 5.0 kW 80¢ per AC Watt 3.0 kW to 5.0 kW $1.20 per AC Watt
5.1 kW to 10.0 kW 60¢ per AC Watt 5.1 kW to 10.0 kW 90¢ per AC Watt
Above 10.1 kW 40¢ per AC Watt Above 10.1 kW 60¢ per AC Watt
All incentives are to be an amount up to $30,000, not to exceed 50% of total project cost.
AC Watt will be calculated as follows:
If DC input is equal to or greater than the micro-inverter continuous rated AC output =
(Number of inverters) x (Continuous rated AC output)
If DC input is equal to or greater than the string inverter continuous rated AC output =
(Nominal AC output)
If DC input is less than the inverter continuous rated AC output =
(Standard Test Condition rating of total system panels) x (California Energy Commission rated
inverter efficiency)
The City makes no financial commitment to applicants until an application is accepted and a Letter
of Intent (LOI) is issued. The LOI is valid for 90 days for a PV system to be installed. Under
extenuating circumstances, applicants may request extensions to their LOI. Requests for LOI
extension must be submitted prior to LOI expiration, in writing, accompanied by a detailed
explanation of the reason for the delay. Contractor must demonstrate that the cause of the delay is
out of their control along with substantial progress toward project completion. Extensions will be
granted at the sole discretion of the City. Participants forfeit their incentive reservation once the
LOI has expired. Any project not completely installed by September 30, will lose its funding.
Incentives are given in the form of a check to the rebate participant. Customers do not have the
option to have rebate sent directly to the contractor. Incentive payment will be issued within four
(4) weeks after the system passes final inspections.
Individually metered structures will only qualify for the rebate once per 12 month period and may
not exceed $30,000 in its lifetime. Additional PV installs are subject to the same terms as new
installs with updated documentation. Any application for which funding is not available will be
returned to the applicant. The City does not have a waiting list or queue.
Rebate participant may be subject to refund any incentive given by the City related to the PV system
if the customer fails to meet ongoing program requirements or fails to ensure that the incented
equipment is properly maintained and interconnected to the electric grid or any applicable national,
local, manufacturer and Service Standards violations are discovered.

AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET
DEPARTMENT: Public Affairs/IGR Community Development
CM/ DCM/ ACM: Bryan Langley
DATE: August 21, 2018
SUBJECT
Receive a report, hold a discussion, and give staff feedback and direction regarding homelessness initiatives
and the proposed Denton Basic Services Center project made at the August 7, 2018 City Council meeting
during Presentations from Members of the Public.
BACKGROUND
City staff and representatives from the Denton County Homeless Leadership Team (DCHLT) have
presented semi-annual progress updates to City Council on homelessness initiatives with the last
presentations on July 17, 2018; February 13, 2018; and July 25, 2017. Staff is working on a number of
homelessness related initiatives both internally and with the DCHLT members. On July 17, staff received
City Council direction to 1) update the current Memorandum of Understanding with United Way of Denton
County to add a Housing Navigator position with funding of $27,748 for FY18/19 and to 2) develop a scope
of work to restart the Employ-2-Empower program.
Staff has also informed Council recently that a Shelter Planning Workgroup has been formed with the
DCHLT. The proposed plan and timeline for this group is accelerated (with 30-day, 60-day, and 90-day
goals) and will require dedicated staff time to coordinate the workgroup, assist the agencies with data
collection, compile and analyze data, review operating procedures of the agencies to compare with best
practices and standards of excellence, prepare reports, develop costs and options, and develop next steps
and plans. This work is important to understand the current environment, understand agency plans for
shelter and transitional housing, identify gaps and best practices, and develop options that best meet the
needs. Staff will keep the Council updated on the work of this group.
DISCUSSION
Proposed Project Denton Basic Services Center
On Aug. 7, a resident group presented a project proposal (attached as Exhibit 3) to City Council for a tent
encampment/transitional housing project on City property located 1125 N Ruddell St (green box below
with plans to possibly expand to the blue box after a pilot project period).
This presentation was made during the section of the agenda
with no discussion or direction from City Council as a body. Staff would like to provide a preliminary
assessment of what would be required and receive direction from City Council if staff should proceed as
this will likely be a substantial staff effort and could delay many other priorities and projects. Staff will
proceed as directed by City Council.
Staff would need to perform research on similar concepts around the nation to understand their experience.
There are also many differences between the models (tent encampment vs tiny home village) and the
importance to understand those factors, especially if the site is proposed to be on City property and with
City funding and resources.
The following is an example for context only of some of the areas that would need to be clarified,
researched, and analyzed. This is only preliminary as staff has not consulted with all the departments and
specialists to provide a comprehensive overview and analysis.
Planning, Zoning, & Land Use (Community Development, Development Services, Legal) This
would be one of the largest areas for staff and legal analysis. There currently is no allowable land
use or zoning category under the Denton Development Code for the proposed development.
Therefore, a text amendment would be required to the Denton Development Code requiring staff
research and analysis, development of proposed land use regulations, appropriate notices and public
hearings, and consideration by Planning & Zoning and City Council. This process can take several
months to complete.
Staff is currently in the process of working on a comprehensive update to the Denton Development
Code (DDC). As part of this process, staff is proposing the concept of Planned Developments (PD)
and Cluster Developments, where smaller dwelling sizes could be proposed, for review and
consideration by P&Z and City Council as part of the DDC update. Planned Developments would
need to be compatible with nearby land use and be evaluated on a number of criteria, including
adequate facilities for the proposed use. Work on the DDC update will be continuing over the next
few months.
If the property at 1125 Ruddell is desired, a plat would be required to separate the parcel and create
a lot of record.
Site Development and Utility Infrastructure (Community Development, Development Services,
DRC Engineering, Multiple Departments) If zoning and land use can be established, a site plan
with engineering and architectural drawings would need to be submitted by the applicant to the City
for review. The site plan would need to meet the DDC site plan criteria and address factors such as
density, dwelling size, setbacks, distance between structures, utility infrastructure (waste,
wastewater, electric infrastructure), fire access, topography, stormwater and drainage,
street/curbs/sidewalks, lighting, landscaping, tree preservation, screening, etc. The site plan would
to ensure it complies with development codes and standards and allow for a detailed site review.
Building and Fire Codes (Community Development, Building Inspections, Health Inspections,
Fire Department) Staff would need to examine what are the international building codes, fire
codes, and all other applicable code requirements to ensure the health and safety of individuals on
the site as well as surrounding properties. What are the proposed materials and construction sets?
How is fire prevention and suppression addressed? How would Texas and ADA accessibility
statutes be met for access to the site and required number of accessible dwellings?
Health & Sanitation (Community Development, Development Services, Health Inspections, Solid
Waste, Community Improvement Services) Staff would need to evaluate what are the applicable
health codes. How would food be cooked and stored to avoid contamination and comply with
commercial health codes for communal cooking? How would garbage be secured, serviced, and the
associated costs? Are the dwellings air conditioned and heated? How would pet waste be limited to
an area and properly disposed of?
Safety and Security (Community Development, Police Department, Fire Department) Discussion
and review with public safety departments. At what point would private security be recommended
- from the beginning due to number of individuals and density, a threshold with a number of calls,
or severity of an incident. Discussion if an enforcement authorization would be permitted to the
Police Department. Further discussion of what is allowed in the village and proposed rules and
enforcement. At what threshold do individuals not pass the background and are denied entry? Are
weapons allowed? Are guests allowed?
Liability and Risk (Community Development, Risk Management, Legal) This area would require
significant research to articulate to City Council what are the potential risks and liability. Depending
upon the extent of the ci
function with unlimited liability? What risks or liability can be mitigated and what cannot? What
insurance level requirements are recommended? Are there any court rulings or litigation the city
should be aware of?
rights?
Neighborhood and Community Support (Community Development, Development Services)
Discussion and feedback from the surrounding property owners, neighborhood, and school
representatives in the immediate area. How would staff facilitate these conversations? How would
this feedback be provided and how would Council evaluate and weigh?
Case Management and HMIS (Community Development, UWDC) How would case
management be provided to each resident to address their housing-related barriers such as
employment, health needs, mental health needs, substance abuse, etc? How would individuals be
transported and access other social service centers in the community? Would the village participate

Goals and Outcomes (Community Development, UWDC) What is the goal of the village? For
transitional housing or permanent supportive housing? How does that line up with the need based
For other models around the nation, what is the average length
of stay? What are program performance targets?
Potential Impact to Funding The city receives funding from HUD, such as the Emergency
Solutions Grant, to help individuals experiencing homelessness. Staff would need to verify with
HUD without bathrooms or electricity may not
be considered sheltered by HUD. If not, this could risk or impact future ESG or other HUD-related
funding .
Cost and Requested Assistance As the proposed project has requested City assistance, staff
would need to clarify what exactly is being requested from the City. Staff would need to perform a
cost analysis for the proposed project/site to understand one-time costs and all ongoing costs (direct,
indirect, and staff required).
City Plans for Property The larger parcel to the east of Ruddell Street, that the group mentioned
as possibly expanding to, is planned to be used for the Ruddell Street realignment project. See below
photo.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (Council, Boards, Commissions)
On July 17, 2018, the United Way of Denton County (UWDC) and City staff presented an update and
progress report to City Council on homelessness initiatives from the Denton County Homeless Leadership
team, the City, and community partners.
On February 13, 2018, UWDC presented an update and progress report to City Council on homelessness
initiatives from the Denton County Homeless Leadership Team, and City staff presented research on tent
encampments.
On July 25, 2017, UWDC presented an update and progress report to City Council on homelessness
initiatives from the Denton County Homeless Leadership Team.

DATE: August 21, 2018
SUBJECT
Receive a report, hold a discussion, and give staff direction regarding the Board of Ethics rules of
procedure.
BACKGROUND
On November 14, 2017, the City Council directed staff to hire attorney Alan Bojorquez to assist in the
creation of an ethics ordinance. This process of drafting an ethics ordinance was completed over a series of
eight (8) public work sessions, four (4) public hearings, and a total of over twenty (20) hours of
deliberations. The Ethics Ordinance No. 18-757 was adopted by City Council on May 1, 2018 and became
effective on May 15, 2018. Adoption of rules of procedure is a requirement of the Ethics Ordinance listed
in Section 2-277(k) and are subject to confirmation by the City Council. Rules of procedure are meant to
be a procedural guide for conducting proceedings.
Alan Bojorquez created an initial draft of rules of procedure that was discussed with the Board of Ethics on
July 31 and received direction to make additional modifications. A revised draft was approved by the Board
of Ethics on August 13, 2018. The ordinance included as Exhibit 2 contains the rules of procedure as
incorporates sections for general rules, meeting procedures,
advisory opinions, preliminary assessments, and hearing procedures. A majority of the Board of Ethics
discussion regarding the rules of procedure focused on the hearing procedures and specifically the topics
regarding recusals, evidence and witnesses, subpoenas, burden of proof, and alternate members.
ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT
The City Council requested that the Board of Ethics be empaneled and ready to begin hearing complaints
by September 1, 2018. There are certain provisions that have been tolled in the Ethics Ordinance until such
time as the Board is empaneled and the rules of procedure are confirmed by City Council. If City Council
approves the rules of procedures for the Board of Ethics on August 21, 2018 then the ordinance would be
effective immediately and the Board could begin hearing complaints.

CM/DCM/ACM:Todd Hileman
DATE:August 21, 2018
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal
corporation, providing for, authorizing, and approving the execution by the City Manager or his designee, of
a base contract for sale and purchase of natural gas between the City of Denton and Tenaska Marketing
Ventures, a partnership; approving the execution of such other and further related documents deemed
necessary to effectuate the transactions allowed under this agreement by the City Manager or his designee;
determining that specific information contained in documents involved in this transaction pertain to a
“competitive electric matter” as set forth under the provisions of §§551.086 and 552.133 of the Texas
Government Code, as amended; allowing the public to inspect, but not reproduce, the base Contract as
redacted; providing an effective date.The Public Utilities Board recommends approval (6-0).
BACKGROUND
The Denton Energy Center (DEC), composed of twelve fast start electricity generating engines and ancillary
equipment, has completed operational testing and has entered its commercial operation phase.
The DEC project requires a natural gas supply for operation of the project. As approved by the City Council
earlier this year, a NAESB is currently in place with an existing gas supplier. At the time that agreement was
being approved, staff noted that it would be bringing additional NAESB agreements for approval in the
future. The purpose of compiling additional NAESB agreements is to add to the pool of alternative suppliers
in an effort to foster supply diversity and competition. This standard form agreement operates as an ‘enabling
agreement’ or ‘master agreement’ to facilitate gas transactions with Tenaska.
The NAESB (“North American Energy Standards Board”) standard contract has been developed over time
by the energy industry to capture core contract terms, definitions, and procedures which are viewed as
standard by the energy industry. The NAESB standard form contract is owned by the North American Energy
Standards Board and is copyrighted. The copyright means it cannot be released to the general public in a
reproducible form. A redacted copy of the NAESB is available at the City Secretary’s office for viewing by
the public. No photographs or copies are allowed under the copyright.
Purchases of natural gas made under the terms and conditions of this NAESB are authorized under the
approved Risk Management Policy (Ordinance No. 2018-237).If future transactions occur, they will be
negotiated on a deal by deal basis and documented by confirmation agreements which will include price,
quantity, duration, delivery point and other special provisions, if any.
In conclusion, it is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Ordinance approving execution of
a NAESB with Tenaska, and confirming the authorization to engage in transactions under the NAESB as
further described in the Ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of theordinance.

SUBJECT
Consider the approval of a resolution of the City Council of the City of Denton requesting the Texas
Department of Transportation advance the construction of the north bound service road as the first phase of
facilitating the West Loop 288 project from Interstate 35W to Interstate 35N.
BACKGROUND
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and Denton County are designing Loop 288 as a
controlled access freeway consisting of two main lanes and two lane frontage roads in each direction. Grade
separations are planned at major cross streets and rail road crossings. TxDOT is developing Loop 288 with
frontage roads to limit access to the main lanes while providing development opportunities along the
corridor. The total cost of the project is currently estimated at $258 million, while the construction of one
of the frontage roads is estimated at $40 million.
The project is anticipated to be environmentally cleared by December 2020. At that point, right-of-way
acquisition and utility relocations can begin. TxDOT has indicated that construction of the project will
need to be phased due to funding constraints. TxDOT is seeking direction from the City of Denton on
which frontage road should be completed as part of the first phase. With most of the development in this
corridor occurring east of the proposed alignment, construction of the northbound frontage road will permit
the City to establish permanent connections of its cross streets and access points to the frontage road.
Advancement of the northbound frontage road as part of the first phase will also provide ground access to
the west side of the Denton Enterprise Airport to facilitate growth as outlined in the 2015 Denton Enterprise
Airport Master Plan.
The Mobility Committee considered this issue at the July 18, 2018, meeting and unanimously recommended
constructing the northbound frontage road as part of Phase I.
FISCAL INFORMATION:
The total cost of the project is currently estimated at $258 million while the construction of one of the
frontage road sections is estimated at $40 million. To date, Denton County has contributed more than $4.4
million for engineering and design efforts.
ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT:
The engineering firm for the West Loop 288 project submitted the 30% schematic for TxDOT review on
April 30, 2018, and has since been working toward the 60% schematic submittal, which is expected to be
made on August 20, 2018. Schematic approval for the project is anticipated to occur in the February 2019
timeframe and environmental clearance is estimated to take place in late 2020.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (Council, Boards, Commissions)
July 18, 2018, Council Mobility Committee gave staff direction to advance a resolution to City Council to
recommending the northbound frontage lanes be constructed as part of the West Loop 288 Phase I project.

Schematic: CP&Y revised Loop 288 corridor to meet clearance at gas well head locations. The
revised corridor caused revisions to the Loop 288 and frontage road profiles. These were checked
to limit the need for retaining walls. Three bridges and eight ramps were also affected by the
revised corridor and re-designed.
Four direct connectors at I-35W/Loop 288: NB-WB, EB-SB, EB-NB, and SB-WBto be included.
CP&Y has extended the scope of the project to include the design of eight additional direct
connector ramps: four at I-35 interchange and four at I-35W interchange. CP&Y developed a
preliminary design that is included in the 30% schematic submittal. Bridge details for all 19
bridges were submitted to TxDOT on July 31, 2018. CP&Y reduced/shiftedcorridor to avoid
damage to existing structures as much as possible. Working with ITS and City of Denton to
confirm cross street locations and grade separations. Meeting date to be determined.
The 30% schematic submitted on April 30, 2018. CP&Y has received aerial survey but is
awaiting utility information at IH 35W to be provided by TxDOT. Date for receipt to be
determined. Design approximately 50% complete. CP&Y received 30% schematic comments on
June 20, 2018. TxDOT review meeting to discuss comments held on June 26, 2018. The 60%
schematic design submittal due to TxDOT for review on August 20, 2018. Stakeholder meetings
and first public meeting to follow.

AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET
DEPARTMENT: Materials Management
CM: Todd Hileman
DATE: August 21, 2018
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, Texas, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Garver, LLC for design and
bid phase services for the Lake Lewisville Water Treatment Plant filter backwash and sedimentation basin
wash-down residuals dewatering facility as set forth in the agreement; providing for the expenditure of funds
therefor; and providing an effective date (RFQ 6590-025 Professional Services Agreement for design and
bid phase services awarded to Garver, LLC, in the not-to-exceed amount of $520,920). The Public Utilities
Board recommends approval (6-0).
RFQ INFORMATION /BACKGROUND
In negotiating the fee for this project, the staff referred to the PSMJ Public Works Benchmark Survey of
2011, a compilation of service fee data from 500 engineering, architectural and environmental firms that
serve both public agencies and private-sector owners. Engineering fees for construction projects are
frequently negotiated on the basis of a percentage of the estimated construction cost of the project. The CIP
budget for this project included an original estimated construction cost of $6,000,000 for Lake Lewisville
water treatment plant sludge dewatering facility and was used as the basis for the original fee negotiations
with Garver, LLC, for the final design Professional Service Agreements (PSA).
Using PSMJ Benchmark Survey for fee estimation related to construction costs, full basis engineering
services (without a full-time resident construction manager) for a project of this size, cost and complexity
would typically be around 10-12% of construction cost or approximately $600,000- $720,000. The budget
for professional services for Final Design and Construction in the capital improvement plan was $600,000.
Based upon the prior experience and comparison with other projects, staff prepared these budget numbers to
reflect current market conditions for engineering fees for a water plant sludge dewatering facility project of
this size, scope, and complexity.
Garver, LLC, a pre-selected firm for Water, submitted a proposal to staff in April 2018 and included
preliminary design, final design, and bidding services. These fee proposals were based upon the initial draft
scope of services prepared by the consultant. The original fee proposal was in the amount of $638,032. This
fee for basic services through the bid phase was 14.7 estimated construction cost of
$4,341
for final design and bid 520,920 (which represent 12.0 % of the construction cost of the
project).
Beginning in 2015, City of Denton Water Reclamation plant was experiencing constant issues processing the
solids coming from the Lake Lewisville water treatment plant (LLWTP). The Wastewater Department
requested elimination of sludge/solids discharges into the wastewater collection system and thus into the
wastewater treatment plant primarily due to the new phosphate control regulations they were required to
follow. In 2017, LLWTP staff installed two (2) submersible pumps in the wash-water equalization basin as
a temporary measure and currently pumping all treatment plant solids from the equalization basin into the
water treatment plant pond and stopped discharging process solids into the wastewater collection system.
Decant from the pond returns to the head of the treatment plant and receive complete treatment.
Since the pond has limited capacity, in 2017, Garver, LLC, was selected to conduct a study to select the most
suitable process/technology for the filter backwash and sedimentation basin wash-down residuals dewatering
facility. The consultant completed the study in 2018 and found BFP with gravity thicker as the preferred
technology for Lake Lewisville water treatment plant sludge dewatering system.
Requests for qualifications (RFQ) were issued to several local consulting firms with prior experience to
perform a study and receive a recommendation for a permanent solids handling facility for the Lake
Lewisville water treatment plant. Statement of qualifications was received from four (4) engineering firms.
The Staff Screening and Selection Committee met March 22, 2017, to evaluate the qualifications. The
Committee selected Garver, LLC, based on the proposal and selection criteria.
The PSA for the sludge dewatering study included Project Management, Site Survey and Analysis of
Alternatives, Draft and Final Technical Memorandum including the capital & operational cost of the sludge
dewatering facility. Garver, LLC, analyzed the following systems for the dewatering process; BFP with GBT,
BFP with gravity thickener, Screw Press with gravity thickener, Centrifuge and use of the existing pond. A
20-year life cycle cost developed for these systems except Centrifuge because of its high capital cost and
lack of track record in the water plant use. BFP with gravity thickener and Screw Press with gravity thickener
were the two (2) top-ranked processes based on the life-cycle cost. A side by side comparison shows higher
throughput and cake solids and less polymer usage for the BFP with gravity thickener.
In April 2018, Garver, LLC, a pre-selected firm for Water developed a formalized scope of work for the
design and bidding services for the dewatering facility and submitted a proposal with a price quote in the
amount of $638,032. Staff negotiated with Garver, LLC, and modified the scope and received a revised fee
proposal in the amount of $520,920. The PSA will include preliminary design, final design and bid phase
services for the LLWTP sludge dewatering facility.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (COUNCIL, BOARDS, COMMISSIONS)
On March 6, 2018, and June 5, 2018, Council approved RFQ 6590 for a prequalified list of professional
engineering firms (Ordinance 2018-331).
On August 13, 2018, the Public Utilities Board (PUB) recommended this item to the City Council for
consideration.
RECOMMENDATION
Award a contract with Garver, LLC, for engineering services for the Lake Lewisville water treatment plant
(LLWTP) sludge dewatering facility in the amount of $520,920.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
CITY OF DENTON
LAKE LEWISVILLE WATER TREATMENT PLANT DEWATERING IMPROVEMENTS
General
The scope of services for the City of Denton Lake Lewisville Water Treatment Plant (LLWTP) Dewatering
Improvements generally includes new facilities and equipment necessary for dewatering of residual solids
generated from filter backwash and sedimentation basin blowdown/washdown. The engineering services
include detailed design and construction services for installation of a gravity thickener, pump station, two
mechanical dewatering units, residuals conveyor, polymer systems, and a residual solids dewatering
building. Minor improvements to existing infrastructure such as isolation valving and drainage
improvements will also be included in the design. The design will evaluate the potential for continued use
of existing vertical turbine pumps in the Washwater Recovery Basin with increased flows from the
dewatering facility. The design of the dewatering facility will contain accommodations for future expansion.
The design package will also define construction sequencing requirements for maintenance of dewatering
operations during construction.

DATE: August 21, 2018
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, Texas, Nunc Pro Tunc, correcting an inadvertent
mistake in Ordinance No. Z17-0032b specifically its amendment of a rezoning from Neighborhood
Residential 6 (NR-6) zoning district and land use classification to a Neighborhood Residential Mixed Use
12 (NRMU- 12) zoning district and land use classification with a mixed use protection overlay on
approximately 8.887 acres of land generally located on the southwest side of Colorado Boulevard, approx.
315 feet northwest of San Jacinto Boulevard in the City of Denton, Denton County, Texas; adopting an
everability clause; and providing an effective
date. (Z17-0032, Colorado Townhouses, Cindy Jackson)
BACKGROUND
On May 1, 2018 the City Council adopted Ordinance Z18-0032b that approved a rezoning with a mixed
use protection overlay. The ordinance incorrectly listed Mixed Use Protection Overlay development
standards recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission rather than those standards proposed
during the public hearing held on April 3, 2018, and approved by Council on May 1. The Ordinance
included as Exhibit 2 correctly lists the Mixed Use Protection Overlay development standards as approved
by Council on May 1, 2018.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this Nunc Pro Tunc request.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (Council, Boards, Commissions)
On March 7, 2018, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing for this request. During the
public hearing, eight residents spoke in opposition to the request. The concerns expressed by the speakers
included:
a) Cut-through traffic along Clermont Lane which is a private street;
b) Privacy due to the proposed height of the buildings;
c) Noise
d) Safety
e) The possibility that the attached townhomes could become apartments;
f) Preference for single family detached homes in lieu of the proposed single family attached
townhouses.
The Commission responded to the concerns expressed by the residents by adding the three (3) additional
conditions to the Mixed Use Protection Overlay.
On April 3, 2018, the City Council continued this application to give staff an opportunity to evaluate the
site and determine if two access points can be provided to the site along Colorado Boulevard.
On May 1, 2018, the City Council approved the request to rezone the site to NRMU-12 with the following
conditions:
a) There shall be no uses permitted other than single family attached dwelling units, including
townhouses, or single family detached dwelling units.
b) The overall density shall not exceed ten dwelling units per acre.
c) Buildings which are contiguous to the residential neighborhoods shall have a maximum height of
two stories.
d) Installation of an eight foot tall fence along adjacent properties.

AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET
DEPARTMENT: Materials Management
CM: Todd Hileman
DATE: August 21, 2018
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, Texas, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
authorizing the approval of a third amendment to a Professional Services Agreement between the City of
Denton and Hazen and Sawyer, P.C., amending the contract approved by City Council on January 6, 2015,
in the not-to-exceed amount of $136,017, amended by Amendments 1 and 2 approved by the Purchasing
Manager and City Council, said third amendment to provide additional Pecan Creek Water Reclamation
Plant process modeling to evaluate and model process upgrade technologies, and develop cost estimates for
possible capacity expansion of the Pecan Creek Water Reclamation Plant; providing for the expenditure of
funds therefor; and providing an effective date (File 5718 providing for an additional third amendment
expenditure amount not-to-exceed $88,984, with a total contract amount not-to-exceed $371,159). The
Public Utilities Board recommends approval (6-0).
BACKGROUND
The Pecan Creek Water Reclamation Plant is the major plant providing wastewater treatment service to the
Denton residents and parts of surrounding cities. The plant is permitted to treat 21 million gallons per day
(mgd) average daily flow and 46 mgd 2-hour peak flow.
The average daily plant flows for 2017 were 14.18 mgd. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
(TCEQ) 75% and 90% capacity rules determine when plant capacity has to be added to accommodate
higher flows. The 75% rule states that when plant flows reach 75% of permitted capacity (15.75 mgd),
design for increased capacity should begin. When flows reach 90% of permitted capacity (18.9 mgd),
construction for increased capacity must begin. The table below shows the actual and projected plant
average daily flows for the PCWRP

ЋЉЋЌ ЊЍЍͲЌЋВ ЊЏ͵ЉЋ
Based on the projected wastewater average daily flows, the capacity expansion for additional wastewater
treatment threshold (75% rule, 15.75 mgd) will be reached sometime in the 2021 2023 window. Planning
for this capacity expansion (which occurs before plant capacity design begins) can take several years. This
planning includes water quality modeling of the receiving stream and working with the TCEQ to obtain a
discharge permit based on water quality modeling results.
Staff performed an initial evaluatineeds and
determined the most economical alternative was to construct a new plant in the Hickory Creek Basin.
Water quality modeling is currently being done to determine discharge permit criteria for Hickory Creek
that would be acceptable to TCEQ. Population and wastewater flow projections show 24 mgd average daily
flow for the full buildout of the Hickory Creek Basin. Considering the population growth and anticipated
plant capacity needs, the best approach for the Hickory Creek basin would be three 8 mgd plant modules
constructed over time. However, wastewater treatment costs have escalated dramatically over the last
several years, and the initial 8 mgd module costs are currently estimated at 80 100 million dollars. Staff
believes this is a moderately conservative estimate, since the Hickory Creek water quality model may show
the need for higher than anticipated treatment, resulting in increased plant costs.
Due to the large costs associated with the first Hickory Creek basin module, staff chose to research the
possibility of capacity expansion using the existing PCWRP. Initial research indicated that enhanced
treatment technologies may make it possible to increase treatment capacity of the PSRWP by as much as 5
mgd using the existing plant footprint. These treatment technologies are currently used in Europe and
Canada and are beginning to be used in the United States. If successful, the cost for increasing capacity
will be much lower than constructing a new plant and will defer new plant construction in the Hickory
Creek Basin to a much later date, possibly around 2040.
The TCEQ recently implemented a new phosphorus permit limit in order to reduce the amount of
phosphorus being discharged from the PCWRP. Meeting this new limit required upgrades to plant
processes and implementing new treatment technologies. To evaluate the best scenario to address the permit
limit, staff worked with Hazen and Sawyer (Hazen) in 2015-16 to develop a Biowin computer process
model of the plant. This model was developed and calibrated for the PCWRP, and is specifically designed
to model plant processes and treatment technologies.
When Hazen was performing the work needed to develop the model, including the computation fluid
dynamics modeling, some irregularities were discovered in Raw Sewage Pump Station No. 2 (RSPS2) that
warranted additional analyses. The first amendment was enacted to perform an extensive evaluation of the
Pump Station, and the resulting analyses indicated that RSPS2 had hydraulic and structural deficiencies that
were in imminent need of correction. Since RSPS2 provides the redundancy needed to maintain plant
pumping capabilities at all time, staff requested a second amendment to complete the design work needed
to correct these problems and perform additional work to optimize the chemical feed to accomplish
phosphorus removal. An emergency purchase order was then enacted with separate firms to facilitate the
most expedient repairs possible for RSPS2.
Staff is proposing a third amendment to use the existing model developed by Hazen to evaluate the
feasibility of using advanced treatment technologies to improve the treatment capacity of the PCWRP and
postpone the large capital investment associated with a new plant. Staff worked with Hazen to develop a
project scope and then negotiated a consultant fee for evaluating the enhanced treatment technologies
outlined in the scope. Generally, these enhanced treatment technologies address both the primary and
secondary components of the plant treatment process, and also include solids handling design work. Hazen
is primarily tasked with completing a feasibility assessment that evaluates multiple plant treatment elements
to determine, through modeling, whether one or more of the enhanced treatment processes can provide the
additional plant capacity required. The feasibility assessment will include a planning level opinion of
probable construction cost and a 20-year lifecycle cost comparison.
The estimated cost of the negotiated scope is $88,984. The modeling cost is $58,126, and the solids handling
design cost is $30,858. This is a favorable cost because of the with the
PCWRP system and the plant process model that the firm developed and calibrated specifically for the
PCWRP.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (COUNCIL, BOARDS, COMMISSIONS)
On December 8, 2014, the Public Utilities Board recommended the contract with Hazen and Sawyer, P.C.
in the amount of $136,017 to the City Council for consideration.
On January 6, 2015, Council approved the contract with Hazen and Sawyer, P.C. in the amount of
$136,017 (Ordinance 2015-003).
On December 3, 2015, the Purchasing Manager approved the First Amendment in the amount of $21,508.
On March 14, 2016, PUB recommended the Second Amendment in the amount of $124,650.
On April 5, 2016, Council approved the Second Amendment in the amount of $124,650 (Ordinance 2016-
097).
On August 13, 2018, PUB recommended the Third Amendment to the City Council for consideration.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the approval of the third amendment for additional Pecan Creek Water Reclamation Plant
process modeling to evaluate and model process upgrade technologies, and develop cost estimates for
possible capacity expansion of the Pecan Creek Water Reclamation Plant in the amount of $88,984, for a
total amended contract amount of $371,159.

AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET
DEPARTMENT: Materials Management
CM: Todd Hileman
DATE: August 21, 2018
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, Texas, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
accepting competitive bids and awarding a contract for the supply of electric utility tape for the City of
Denton Distribution Center; providing for the expenditure of funds therefor; and providing an effective date
(IFB 6768- awarded to Techline, Inc. for one (1) year, with the option for two (2) additional one (1) year
extensions, in a total not-to-exceed amount of $75,000 for all years).
INFORMATION/ BACKGROUND
This Invitation for Bid (IFB) is to supply electric utility tape to the Distribution Center primarily for Denton
Municipal Electric (DME) use; however, smaller tape quantities are also utilized by other City of Denton
Departments. This IFB consists of twelve different line items needed for various uses and applications. A
large majority of taped electrical connections used on the electric utility system are located outdoors;
therefore, a quality electrical tape is specified which is able to withstand extreme heat and cold, while
retaining its elasticity, corrosion resistance, and moisture-tight tacky adhesive which is needed for proper
function of the electrical and mechanical tape purposes.
The most commonly used line items are line items 3 and 4, which provide both a 3/4inch wide and a 2inch
wide Super 88 Tape (see image below). These commonly used electrical tapes provide separation or
dielectric insulation for an energized conductor and prevent it from touching another energized cable or a
grounded surface. The Red, White and Blue colored dielectric tapes are used by DME to mark and
differentiate various phase conductors needed for proper clockwise or counter clockwise rotation of electric
three-phase motors. The Brown, Orange, Yellow, and Green tapes are common colors for marking low
voltage secondary cables.

AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET
DEPARTMENT: Materials Management
CM: Todd Hileman
DATE: August 21, 2018
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, Texas, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
authorizing the approval of a first amendment to a Professional Services Agreement between the City of
Denton and Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., for engineering services related to the reviewof
development projects for the City of Denton, amending the contract approved by the City Manager on June
7, 2018, in the amount of $95,000; providing for the expenditure of funds therefor; and providing an effective
date (RFQ 6590-020 providing for an additional expenditure amount not-to-exceed $32,000 for a total
contract amount not-to-exceed $127,000).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The City of Denton had a turnover in staff approximately one year ago that reduced the capacity of the
Engineering Review Group. The reduction in staff came at a time of increased development activity within
the City jurisdictional and extra-jurisdictional limits. As such, unsustainably high workloadson
remaining staff have negatively impacted review efficiency, accuracy, and timeliness.
On November 14, 2017, City Council adopted an ordinance, authorizing a PSA for engineering services
related to the review of development projects, File 6629 awarded to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.
(KHA) in the not-to-exceed amount of $175,000. This amount was reached in early April.
As presented to City Council on August 6, 2018, a Request for Qualifications for development review and
process evaluation was advertised in April and May, 2018, with the intent of replacing the KHA contract.
Staff is currently in the process of negotiating a contract with the finalist.
In order to continue to facilitate the growing number of private development project reviews, a new PSA for
engineering services was executed (RFQ #6590-020 awarded to KHA in the not-to-exceed amount of
$95,000). This amount was expected to last until a new consultant was selected. However, development
activity has continued to increase which has, in turn, drawn down the current KHA contract faster than
anticipated. As such, it is necessary to continue augmenting staff with the capable and experienced licensed
professional engineers provided by KHA. This First Amendment to the PSA recommended by staff provides
a temporary solution for the City to maintain development review capacity until the finalist for the new RFQ
can be hired and deployed.
On November 3, 2017, the City began advertising a Request for Qualifications for Professional Engineering
Services to include development review, project management, roadway and intersection design, traffic signal
and street light design, wastewater design, water system design and storm water design. On March 6, 2018,
City Council approved a pre-qualified firm list for four of the disciplines, including development review
(RFQ 6590, Engineering Services). KHA is one of the firms on the list for development review.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW
On March 6, 2018, and June 5, 2018, Council approved RFQ 6590 for a prequalified list of professional
engineering firms (Ordinance 2018-331).
On June 7, 2018, the City Manager approved RFQ #6590-020 a Professional Services Agreement for
engineering services related to the review of development projects in the amount of $95,000.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve a First Amendment to RFQ 6590-020 for the review of private development projects within the City
of Denton to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., in an amount not-to-exceed $32,000 for a total contract
award amount not-to-exceed $127,000.
PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.
Fort Worth, TX
ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT
The proposed professional services are estimated to be for one (1) month but may continue until the
approved funding amount has been exhausted or the new RFQ for development review and process
evaluation has been awarded.
FISCAL INFORMATION
These services will be funded from Engineering Services Outside Contracting Services account 840300-
7854. Purchase Order #185965 has been entered in the Purchasing software system.

AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET
DEPARTMENT: Materials Management
CM: Todd Hileman
DATE: August 21, 2018
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, Texas, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute a contract for the purchase of Radio System
hardware, to include products and services, and support and maintenance for the City of Denton, which is
available from Houston-Galveston Area Council of Governments (H-GAC) Cooperative Purchasing Prop.
# RA05-18/contract #18-00196; providing for the expenditure of funds therefor; authorizing the City
Manager or his designee to negotiate and execute an agreement with Denton County and/or the City of
Lewisville to facilitate coverage testing of the radio system; and providing an effective date (File 6832-
awarded to Motorola Solutions, Inc., in the six (6) year not-to-exceed amount of $7,698,901).
BACKGROUND
The City of Denton has operated a 14 channel, two site Motorola Smartnet II Radio system since 1997 with
additional upgrades in 2001. The radio system is supported by two tower sites at McKenna Park and
Teasley Lane (owned by Denton County). Over 1,500 radios actively use the radio system supporting,
ice
department. Currently, the system is facing significant end of life issues with the backbone infrastructure
of the radio system, dispatch consoles and handheld radios. Vendor support of these items are no longer
supported or will cease support after December 2018. In addition, the system is not compliant with the
Project 25 (P25) interoperability standards. While there is no present consequence for non-compliance,
implementation of the P25 standards will enhance interoperability with Public Safety and others within
Denton County. P25 is a set of standards for digital radio communications for use by federal, state, and
local public safety agencies in North America to enable them to communicate with other agencies and
mutual aid response teams in emergencies.
The system faces four primary issues described below:
1. ISSUE: The radio backbone has reached technological end of life (EOL). This means that
Motorola will discontinue support of the SmartnetII Radio system. New parts and components
are no longer available.
2. ISSUE: The Public Safety 911 Gold Elite dispatch radio console systems are approaching
EOL. Motorola will end support of this system effective December 31, 2018. Microsoft has
discontinued support of the XP operating system as of April of 2014. Software updates and
repair service will not be available from Motorola after December 2018.
3. ISSUE: Project 25 (P25 Phase 1 and Phase 2) are the national standards for digital radio
communication interoperability. The current radio system is not fully P25 compliant.
4. ISSUE: The system lacks redundancy, failure or damage to one tower would limit system
capabilities.
Staff has contracted with Mission Critical Partners (MCP) to perform a comprehensive system assessment
and to develop complete and comprehensive documents which will include all technical, functional and
performance requirements of radio users. MCP recommends the city of Denton to move towards Denton
ture and also provide
interoperability with Denton county and other cities.
Motorola is able to provide project discounts of $3,050,509. Motorola will be providing the following
equipment and services to the City of Denton.
Equipment Total $ 6,943,190
Turnkey Implementation Services Total $1,639,852

These items will be purchased through the Houston-Galveston Area Council of Governments (H-GAC)
Cooperative Purchasing Program Prop. #RA05-18/Contract #18-00196. Pricing obtained through the
Houston-Galveston Area Council of Governments (HGAC) Cooperative Purchasing Program has been
competitively bid and meets the statutory requirements of Texas Local Government Code 271.102.
The ability to communicate with surrounding public safety agencies. Radio interoperability is
crucial during multi-agency and multi-jurisdiction response to large emergency incidents and
disasters.
Existing Denton County towers will provide needed coverage that will address gaps in the city and
in the ETJ.
Coverage problems that exist in southwest portion of the city would be eliminated by the county
tower on FM407.
New radios possess noise-cancelling technology to enhance voice quality.
Advanced affordable encryption for law enforcement use.
o Enhances security during sensitive operations.
Global positioning system (GPS) feature enhances the safety of personnel by allowing real-time
monitoring of personnel location.
Doubles the system capacity from 13 talk paths to 26 talk paths.
Enhanced system redundancy. Currently, Denton county and DENCO 911 operate a shared
microwave system that is already available on the Teasley tower. By joining that system, the city
of Denton will have a backup connection in case the primary connection experiences a failure.
As part of this project, this will require an interlocal agreement between Denton County and City of
Lewisville who are Infrastructure members of the Denton County Regional Radio System. This agreement
will integrate all three systems, allowing mutual benefit by providing seamless communications between
public safety agencies and support for both day-to-day operations, as well as emergency situations. In
addition, this partnership will improve the ability to coordinate operations during events such as Denton
Arts & Jazz Festival.
Additionally, interlocal agreements will need to be established with University of North Texas and Texas
Due to the complexity of both the project and the interlocal agreements, the City Council may authorize the
City Manager and staff to negotiate and execute limited interlocal agreements with Denton County and the
City of Lewisville related to testing and validating the integrations between the city of Denton radio system
and the Denton County Regional Radio system. During this time, staff will continue to work on
comprehensive interlocal agreements for long-term operational roles of the City and other entities, which
Council will consider at a future meeting.
RECOMMENDATION
Award the purchase of Radio System hardware, to include products and services, and support and
maintenance year to Motorola for a six (6) year not-to-exceed amount of $7,698,901. Authorize the City
Manager to negotiate and execute an interlocal agreement with Denton County and/or the City of Lewisville
related to coverage testing of the Denton radio system with the Denton County Regional Radio System.

DEPARTMENT: Department of Development Services
CM: Todd Hileman
DATE: August 21, 2018
SUBJECT
Hold a public hearing and consider approval of an ordinance regarding a Detail Plan for Planned
Development 176 (PD-176) District to depict an auto laundry facility on approximately 2.13 acres. The
property is generally located on the west side of North FM 2499, approximately 760 feet north of Hickory
Creek Road in the City of Denton, Denton County, Texas; providing for a penalty in the maximum amount
of $2,000.00 for violations thereof; providing a severability clause and an effective date. (PDA18-0004a,
Clean and Green Car Wash, Hayley Zagurski).
BACKGROUND
The applicant has requested a Detailed Plan approval for a car wash in Planned Development 176 (PD-176)
District, also known as Wheeler Ridge. In accordance with the 1991 Development Code, planned
developments require approval of a Concept Plan and a Detailed Plan prior to development. The Concept
Plan for PD-176 District was approved in 2000, but at that time, a Detailed Plan for the site was not
contemplated. Currently, in anticipation of a proposed development, a Detailed Plan has been submitted for
a car wash. A full staff analysis is attached in Exhibit 2.
OPTIONS
1. Approve as submitted.
2. Approve subject to conditions.
3. Deny.
4. Postpone consideration.
5. Table item.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the request with the following conditions as it is compatible with the
surrounding property and is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Denton Plan 2030:
1. No exterior lighting on the building shall face a single-family residential use, or if such lighting is
proposed, it shall be screened from view of adjoining residential properties. A photometric plan
shall be provided with the building permit application demonstrat
site lighting requirements in Section 35.13.12.
2. Due to the proximity of this location to single-family residences, the majority of the PD being
residential, and the lack of signage regulations in the PD, the project shall comply with the Code of
Ordinances sign requirements for non-residential districts as well as the following limitations:
a. No illuminated wall signs may face an adjoining single-family use.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (Council, Boards, Commissions)
On October 5, 1999, City Council approved Ordinance 99-367, establishing PD-176 and approving
development standards and a general Concept Plan for 168.57 of land.
On June 20, 2000, City Council approved Ordinance 2000-216, which amended ordinances 99-257, 99-
367, and 99-405 to provide a detail plan for approximately 253 acres of land within PD-170, PD-172, and
PD-176. The detail plan specifically excluded two tracts intended for commercial development, one of
which includes the subject property.
At a public hearing on July 25, 2018 the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval \[4-0\]
of the request with the following conditions:
1. No exterior lighting on the building shall face a single-family residential use, or if such lighting is
proposed, it shall be screened from view of adjoining residential properties. A photometric plan
site lighting requirements in Section 35.13.12.
2. Due to the proximity of this location to single-family residences, the majority of the PD being
residential, and the lack of signage regulations in the PD, the project shall comply with the Code of
Ordinances sign requirements for non-residential districts as well as the following limitations:
a. No illuminated wall signs may face an adjoining single-family use.
3. The height of the proposed masonry screening wall shall be 8 feet.
At the public hearing the applicant, the project engineer, and two representatives of the previous property
owner spoke in favor of the request. Two individuals filled out cards opposing the request but did not speak,
and seven individuals from the surrounding neighborhoods spoke in opposition of the request. Concerns
expressed by the neighbors included increased noise, increased traffic cutting through the neighborhoods,
increased crime, and decreased property values. In response to the noise concerns, the Planning and Zoning
Commissioners voted to recommend increasing the height of the proposed screening wall from 6 feet to 8
generate little noise and explaining that the car wash would not operate 24 hours a day.

ЊА Chair Strange called the Work Session to order at 5:05 p.m.
ЊБ
ЊВ WORK SESSION
ЋЉ
ЋЊ 1. Clarification of agenda items listed on the agenda for this meeting. This is an opportunity

ЋЎ
ЋЏ Chair Strange stated Item for Individual Consideration 4A has been withdrawn, no action will be
ЋА taken.
ЋБ
ЋВ Hayley Zagurski, Senior Planner, presented Public Hearing Item 5A. Commissioner Ellis
ЌЉ questioned if the business has been in operation since 1974. Zagurski confirmed. Commissioner
ЌЊ Sanchez questioned the difference between funeral home and parlor. Zagurski stated they are
ЌЋ describing the same thing, one is more of a technical term.
ЌЌ
ЌЍ Zagurski stated staff received one response in favor, and one opposed to the request. The applicant
ЌЎ held a neighborhood meeting, where approximately 8-10 people attended. There was no one in
ЌЏ opposition at the neighborhood meeting.
ЌА
ЌБ Commissioner Beck thanked Zagurski for her research on this item. He questioned why this
ЌВ request could not move forward as a special use or a variance through the Zoning Board of
ЍЉ Adjustment (ZBA). Jerry Drake, First Assistant City Attorney, stated that use variances are illegal
ЍЊ in Texas. He stated the ZBA cannot approve uses, only items such as setbacks and height
ЍЋ adjustments.

ЍЍ
Њ Commissioner Ellis questioned if the applicant proposes to keep the existing building and add an
Ћ addition. Zagurski confirmed and provided a rendering of the proposed building. There was no

ЊЌ applicant declined to hold a neighborhood meeting.
ЊЍ
ЊЎ Commissioner Ellis stated the vacuums back up to the neighboring residential properties, she
ЊЏ stated she is concerned this will affect the neighbors based off of the sound produced by the
ЊА vacuums. Zagurski stated she is not familiar with the noise levels produced by the vacuums,
ЊБ however, they should not be audible with the adequate buffering installed. The existing tree line is
ЊВ substantial for the site.
ЋЉ
ЋЊ Zagurski clarified the building height for the Planned Development (PD), it restricts up to three-
ЋЋ stories, and there is no actual foot amount.
ЋЌ
ЋЍ Commissioner Beck questioned if this will be a 24-hour facility. Zagurski stated the applicant
ЋЎ could clarify during the Regular Meeting.

ЊЍ Hickory Creek Road in the City of Denton, Denton County, Texas. (PDA18-0004,
ЊЎ Clean and Green Car Wash, Hayley Zagurski).
ЊЏ
ЊА Chair Strange opened the Public Hearing. Hayley Zagurski, Senior Planner, presented the request.
ЊБ Staff recommends approval of the request based on conditions. Staff received five (5) responses
ЊВ in opposition and one (1) response in favor of the request.

ЋА
ЋБ The following individuals spoke during the Public Hearing:
ЋВ Josh Boschee, applicant and owner, 12821 Saratoga Downs, Fort Worth, Texas, stated he
ЌЉ owns the property and the car was on the opposite corner. He stated the vacuum producers are
ЌЊ located in the building, in an insulated room. The property sits approximately 2-3 feet higher than
ЌЋ the neighboring properties. This will be a 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. facility, it will not be open 24
ЌЌ hours.
ЌЍ
ЌЎ Chair Strange stated since there are concerns with noise on the site, he questioned if the property
ЌЏ owner would be open to raising the fence along the neighborhood side to eight foot instead of six
ЌА foot. Boschee stated he would be open to that suggestion.
ЌБ
ЌВ Commissioner Beck referred to points of ingress and egress questioning whether the applicant
ЍЉ considered adding an inlet. Boschee stated they did not consider it, however, it is a Texas
ЍЊ Department of Transportation road so ultimately it would be their decision for approval.
ЍЋ
ЍЌ Michael Thomas, Engineer, 4816 Whistler Drive, Fort Worth, Texas, stated the southbound
ЍЍ access would not be a requirement.
ЍЎ
Џ
Њ Rose Brandt, 6600 Hayling Way, Denton, Texas, spoke in opposition. The proposed tower
Ћ is elevated higher than the houses. Brandt discussed the impact this development would have
Ќ regarding bugs and rodents. Brandt stated she would rather see office buildings rather than the
Ѝ proposed development.
Ў
Џ Shannon Garza, 6545 Pine Hills Lane, Denton, Texas, spoke in opposition. The newly
А developed highway neighboring house has been a big impact on the neighborhood. A lot of trees
Б were removed with the development of the highway. There are a lot of small children that play in
В the neighborhood, a lot of street parking and a lot of accidents at the intersection of Hickory Creek
ЊЉ Road and FM 2499.
ЊЊ
ЊЋ Commissioner Sanchez questioned if Garza was aware the neighboring property was zoned
ЊЌ commercial when she purchased her property. Garza declined, the property was green space. Garza
ЊЍ stated a lot of the properties in the neighborhood are now rent or leased properties instead of owner
ЊЎ occupied.
ЊЏ
ЊА Steven Shannon, 319 W. Oak Street, Denton, Texas, spoke in support. Shannon stated he
ЊБ owns the property to the north. The proposed development is a compatible use. The owner has
ЊВ made great attempts to make it even more compatible.
ЋЉ
ЋЊ David Furr, 6500 Longleaf Lane, Denton, Texas, spoke in opposition. Furr stated there was
ЋЋ
ЋЌ the idea of a 30 foot tall building neighboring his property. He is glad to see this will not be a 24
ЋЍ hour facility. The existing car wash is 24 hours, there are lights on at all times, and radios blasting.
ЋЎ There are concerns with traffic along FM 2499.
ЋЏ
ЋА Chair Strange stated the applicant could develop a three-story structure by right, which is already
ЋБ allowed within the Planned Development (PD).
ЋВ
ЌЉ Kim Hurst, 3301 Highpoint Drive, Denton, Texas, spoke in opposition. There will be a
ЌЊ decrease in property values, a lot of noise issues, this will increase the crime in the area, a lot of
ЌЋ children currently play outside in the neighborhood. Hurst stated the business could have
ЌЌ individuals waiting up to two hours waiting for their vehicles to be serviced. This causes pedestrian
ЌЍ
ЌЎ increase trash in the area. There are
ЌЏ for another car wash. This will increase the number of rental properties in the area.
ЌА
ЌБ Commissioner Sanchez stated a lot of the existing neighbors would primarily be the ones using
ЌВ the facility. Hurst stated no, a lot of people cut through the neighborhood and area due to the
ЍЉ construction in the area.
ЍЊ
ЍЋ Tom Brant, 6600 Hayling Way, Denton, Texas, spoke in opposition. Brandt stated their
ЍЌ realtor did not inform them of the proposed changes for the area. There is a lot of current noise in
ЍЍ the area, due to the traffic.
ЍЎ
А
Њ Hector Lomelin, 6020 English Manor Road, Denton, Texas, spoke in opposition. There are
Ћ a lot of lights, sound and stereos going while people wash their cars at the existing car wash.
Ќ Lomelin questioned if the 30 foot tower is necessary for the development. The proposed walls will
Ѝ be close to some of the neighboring properties. There are a lot of other properties this development
Ў could consider. There are a lot of traffic concerns for the area. These neighborhoods are surrounded
Џ by commercial properties and uses.
А
Б Otto Hanneman, 6500 Corral Lane, Denton, Texas, spoke in opposition. This will cause a
В decrease in home values, there are a lot of traffic concerns. There is too much being squeezed into
ЊЉ a small space. He would like to see the development consider another property.
ЊЊ
ЊЋ Greg Johnson, 319 W. Oak Street, Denton, Texas, spoke in support. Johnson stated he
ЊЌ understands the concerns of the neighbors, however, the use is allowed within the PD. The
ЊЍ applicant has a right to develop. He stated that neighborhood meetings should be considered for
ЊЎ certain projects. This is a six-lane major thoroughfare, developments like this are going to occur.
ЊЏ
ЊА Commissioner Sanchez questioned if the applicant would consider a tower that is lower than 30
ЊБ foot tall. Boschee stated they would rather not consider anything less since that space is used for
ЊВ equipment and storage.
ЋЉ
ЋЊ Commissioner Ellis questioned if this is concerned a full service drop off facility. Boschee stated
ЋЋ no, it is what is considered an express exterior car wash. Most customers are on site for a maximum
ЋЌ of 20 minutes, unless they decide to stay onsite and detail their vehicles there.
ЋЍ
ЋЎ Thomas stated in regards to the drainage concerns, there will be a detention pond onsite to mitigate
ЋЏ drainage runoff.
ЋА
ЋБ Commissioner Beck stated the concept of a neighborhood meeting is very important especially for
ЋВ projects like this. He questioned if the applicant would consider postponing the request in order to
ЌЉ allow time for a neighborhood meeting to address some of the concerns. Boschee stated they would
ЌЊ prefer not to go that route. Chair Strange stated this item will go before City Council and will allow
ЌЋ time for citizens to provide their feedback at that time as well.
ЌЌ
ЌЍ Commissioner Ellis questioned if there is any signage to restrict the high radio volumes. Boschee
ЌЎ stated not at this time, however, they could monitor the site. This site is staffed at all times, whereas
ЌЏ his other site is not staffed.

City Council District 4
Planning & Zoning Commission
August 21, 2018
REQUEST:
Hold a public hearing and consider approval of an ordinance regarding a Detail Plan for Planned
Development 176 (PD-176) District to depict an auto laundry facility on approximately 2.13 acres.
The property is generally located on the west side of North FM 2499, approximately 760 feet north
of Hickory Creek Road in the City of Denton, Denton County, Texas; providing for a penalty in
the maximum amount of $2,000.00 for violations thereof; providing a severability clause and an
effective date. (PDA18-0004a, Clean and Green Car Wash, Hayley Zagurski).
OWNER:
CDI 2499, LLC.
APPLICANT:
Joshua Boschee, Clean and Green Car Wash
Andrew Gooding, MJ Thomas Engineering LLC.
BACKGROUND:
The applicant has requested Detailed Plan approval for an auto laundry facility, or car wash, in
Planned Development 176 (PD-176) District.
PD-176 District was created prior to the 2002 adoption of the Denton Development Code (DDC).
Therefore, new development within the PD boundary is subject to the requirements of the 1991
outlined in Article IV, Sections 35-151 through 158 and 35-171
through 184. These requirements define a planned development process that includes two phases:
a Concept Plan and a Detailed Plan. The Concept Plan establishes the general guidelines for the
PD, including project boundaries, land uses, and general thoroughfare locations. A Detailed Plan
provides more specific information about the proposal and is defined as:
Detailed Plan the final step in the planned development process which contains the
details of the development of the property. Such standards may include permitted land uses
and the acreage for each use, adjacent or surrounding land uses, zoning, streets, drainage
facilities, existing or proposed off-site improvements, parking lots and parking spaces,
access and connection to existing or proposed streets, trees and landscaping, the maximum
height of all buildings, the maximum total floor area, the location of water retention areas
and major drainage facilities, and the location of all major utilities.
On October 5, 1999, City Council approved Ordinance 99-367, establishing PD-176 and adopting
a Concept Plan for said acreage. The Concept plan established the permitted uses, general locations
of the use categories, and development standards. On June 20, 2000, City Council approved
Ordinance 2000-216, which amended ordinances 99-257, 99-367, and 99-405 to provide a detail
plan for approximately 253 acres of land within PD-170, PD-172, and PD-176. The detail plan
specifically excluded two tracts intended for commercial development, one of which includes the
subject property.
SITE DATA:
The subject site is 2.17 acres out of an approximately 4.89-acre undeveloped tract. The property
has 247 feet of frontage along FM 2499, which was recently constructed by TXDOT.
PD-176 designates the subject property as a Commercial tract intended to accommodate the
development of an office, retail, and commercial center. The permitted uses correspond to the use

CONSIDERATIONS:
1. The applicant has submitted a Detailed Plan for PD-176 District for an Auto Laundry
Facility, or car wash. The associated documents, including Site Plan, Landscape Plan, and
Elevations, are attached for reference.
2. The proposal reflects the following elements:
a. An approximately 4,478 square foot building constructed with fiber cement panels,
wave aluminum panels, and glass materials.
b. One driveway connection provided to FM 2499.
c. An approximately 20-foot wide landscape buffer containing existing trees, 8 new
tree plantings, and a 6-foot tall masonry screening wall along the southern property
line.
d. A total of 20 vacuum stalls, 5 parking spaces, and space for 5 future vacuum stalls
are provided.
e. Landscaping and tree canopy is provided in accordance with the 1998 landscape
code, which was in place at the time of PD establishment.
3. tailed Plan shall be approved if it finds that all of the following criteria
have been met:
a. The plan complies with the general concept plan or development plan approved for
that property;
The use and development outlined in the proposed Detailed Plan generally conform
to the approved PD development standards.
Specifically, the Wheeler Ridge development standards specify that all buildings
shall have an exterior façade of glass, stone, stucco, tile, concrete, wood, or similar
materials. Additionally, a six-foot screening wall is to be provided between areas
developed for residential uses, and the wall is be constructed of stone, brick, or
similar materials.
b. The plan provides for a compatible arrangement of buildings and land uses and
would not adversely affect adjoining neighborhoods or properties outside the plan,
The proposal is consistent with development patterns typically found along
highways such as FM 2499.
To shield the commercial development from surrounding residences, the applicant
has proposed to keep many of the existing trees found along the southern property
line. Additionally, the landscape plan shows 8 additional tree plantings along the
southern property line as well as the required 6-foot masonry screening wall.
Approximately 175-feet of power and utility easements separate the subject
property from residences to the west. The plans indicate a detention pond will
provide additional separation to the west, and a landscape area containing oak trees
will provide screening for the closest drive aisle.
Due to the close proximity of the location to many single-family residences, Staff
has concerns about the lighting and signage on the property that could cause
nuisances for adjoining properties. Therefore, staff recommends conditions to
re
site lighting requirements, and restrict the height and illumination of signs.
c. The plan provides for adequate and safe circulation of vehicular traffic; and
The proposed Detail Plan provides for adequate and safe circulation, which
includes one point of vehicular access FM 2499.
present on all sides of the building, and the site plan indicates one direction of traffic
flow through and around the facility.
d. The plan is in substantial compliance with the landscape, sign, subdivision, and
other regulations of the city, or, if not, the plan offers corresponding benefits that
merit deviation from those regulations.
The proposed Detail
4. The Future Land Use designation for the subject property and surrounding area is Low
Density Residential. The proposed commercial development is not consistent with the
future land use designation. However, the commercial development of the subject property
and the tract located at the southeast corner of Teasley Lane and Robinson Road has been
intended since the development of the PD regulations in 1999. Commercial development
on the subject property has not been feasible or practical until the recent extension of FM
2499 along the eastern boundary of the subject property.
5. Development of commercial uses on the subject property has been intended since the
adoption of the PD regulations. The PD permits any commercial use permitted within the
The proposed and existing landscaping and the masonry wall along the southern portion of
the property will provide a suitable buffer between the car wash and the adjoining homes.
However, the PD regulations do not provide any stipulations about lighting, so staff
recommends that a photometric plan be provided with the building permit to ensure lighting
is in accordance with current DDC regulations.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the request with the following conditions as it is compatible with
the surrounding property and is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Denton Plan 2030:
1. No exterior lighting on the building shall face a single-family residential use, or if such
lighting is proposed, it shall be screened from view of adjoining residential properties. A
photometric plan shall be provided with the building permit application demonstrating
g requirements in Section 35.13.12.
2. Due to the proximity of this location to single-family residences, the majority of the PD
being residential, and the lack of signage regulations in the PD, the project shall comply
with the Code of Ordinances sign requirements for non-residential districts as well as the
following limitations:
a. No illuminated wall signs may face an adjoining single-family use.
At a public hearing on July 25, 2018 the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval
\[4-0\] of the request with the following conditions:
1. No exterior lighting on the building shall face a single-family residential use, or if such
lighting is proposed, it shall be screened from view of adjoining residential properties. A
photometric plan shall be provided with the building permit application demonstrating
2. Due to the proximity of this location to single-family residences, the majority of the PD
being residential, and the lack of signage regulations in the PD, the project shall comply
with the Code of Ordinances sign requirements for non-residential districts as well as the
following limitations:
a. No illuminated wall signs may face an adjoining single-family use.
3. The height of the proposed masonry screening wall shall be 8 feet.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION:
To comply with the public hearing notice requirements, 34 notices were sent to property owners
within 200 feet of the subject property, 108 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

located on the north side of Edwards Road, approximately 850 feet east of South Mayhill Road, in

OWNER:
Mayhill Edwards, LLC f/k/a SLP-Murphy GP, LLC
APPLICANT:
Randy Thompson with Stonewood Investments
BACKGROUND:
The applicant is requesting an initial zoning of Regional Center Residential 1 (RCR-1) District on
an approximately 15.06-acre site. The site is part of a 19-acre tract which was annexed into the
City on two separate occasions. The western four acres of the property were annexed in 1983 and
zoned RCR-1 District during the 2002 City-wide rezoning. The remaining 15.06 acres (the subject
site) were annexed in 2010 as part of a municipal annexation plan.
Generally, annexed property is not zoned until a zoning request is officially approved by the City
Council. In accordance with Section 35.16.8.G of the Denton Development Code (DDC), for
newly annexed land that has not been zoned, no application will be deemed complete for any uses,
intensities of use, dimensions or lot sizes not authorized by Rural Residential (RD-5) Zoning
District.
The purpose of the RCR-1 District
to correspond with the adjacent zoning and to facilitate future development.
SITE DATA:
The subject property includes 15.06 acres out of a 19-acre undeveloped tract. Under the current
temporary zoning of RD-5 District, uses which are primarily rural in nature are permitted. These
include agriculture, livestock, large-lot single family, manufactured housing developments, sale of
products grown on site, veterinary clinics, kennels, day cares, and elementary schools. Group
homes, administrative or research facilities, feed lots, and gas wells require approval of a Specific
Use Permit (SUP). Prior to development of the site, approval of preliminary and final plats will be
required.
The entire 19-acre property has approximately 1,070 feet of frontage on Edwards Road, which is
classified as a collector street. Collector streets require at least 65 feet of right-of-way. The
property is also within a quarter-mile of the Denton County Transit Authority (DCTA) A-train
Rail Trail and a half-mile from the DCTA Medpark Station. The A-train Rail Trail is a 19-mile
improved trail which, when complete, will connect the Downtown Denton Transit Center to the
Hebron Station in Lewisville.

CONSIDERATIONS:
1. Section 35.3.4.B of the DDC provides the following criteria for approval of rezoning
request:
a. The proposed rezoning conforms to the Future Land Use element of The Denton
Plan 2030.
The Future Land Use designation for the subject property is Business Innovation.
Business Innovation is a mixed-use designation that is intended for well-planned,
larger scale office and employment parks with supporting uses such as retail,
hotels, and residential.
Although the primary intent of the Business Innovation designation is to
encourage large-scale employment development, the Future Land Use map is
intended to provide a broad policy for the future distribution of land uses. Within
each broad designation, several zoning districts may be appropriate to achieve the
intent and goals of the Plan. Though RCR-1 District is not generally an
employment-related district, it can serve as an appropriate buffer between large-
scale, high-intensity employment centers and residential neighborhoods. The
subject site is situated between large employment centers to the west and south,
transitioning to moderate-density multi-family dwellings and lower-density
residential neighborhoods to the east. RCR-1 District conforms to the intent of
Business Innovation, as the allowed mix of small-scale commercial and higher-
density residential uses would complement and support the nearby employment
centers but with reduced development scale and intensity to ensure compatibility
with nearby neighborhoods.
b. The proposed rezoning facilitates the adequate provision of transportation, water,
sewers, schools, parks, other public requirements, and public convenience.
drainage, and infrastructure requirements. In addition, the development will be
required to comply with all tree preservation requirements.
2. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the existing zoning on the same parcel and a logical
extension of the existing zoning pattern. Consolidation of zoning across the entire property
will facilitate development under a uniform set of regulations, including uses and development
scale.
3. If approved, RCR-1 District would allow the site to develop with uses appropriate for areas
located between employment centers and residential neighborhoods. The uses permitted in
RCR-1 District include moderate- to high-density housing, including townhomes and multi-
family dwellings, which are permitted with approval of a Specific Use Permit (SUP).
Additionally, RCR-1 District permits retail, restaurant, service, and office uses but with
limitations on the size and intensity of development. Day cares, schools, religious facilities,
and elderly housing are also permitted.
4. The development scale permitted in RCR-1 District is compatible with the surrounding zoning
and development, as it is similar to, or more restrictive than, the surrounding zoning districts.
RCR-1 District permits a maximum lot coverage of 55 percent and a maximum building height
of 40 feet. The adjacent NRMU-12 and NR-6 Districts permit a maximum lot coverage of 60
percent and a maximum building height of 40 feet. Across Edwards Road, RCC-D District
permits a maximum lot coverage of 90 percent and a maximum building height of 100 feet. As
the surrounding properties develop or redevelop, all buildings would be required to conform
to the dimensional requirements established by the zoning districts.
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.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION:
To comply with the public hearing notice requirements, 5 notices were sent to property owners
within 200 feet of the subject property, 6 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.

Commissioner Ellis questioned if the applicant proposes to keep the existing building and add an
addition. Zagurski confirmed and provided a rendering of the proposed building. There was no
further discussion on this item.
Hayley Zagurski, Senior Planner, presented Public Hearing Item 5B. Commissioner Beck
questioned the maximum height allowed. Zagurski stated it would be permitted up to 100 feet. The
tower is approximately 30 feet.

stated she is concerned this will affect the neighbors based off of the sound produced by the
vacuums. Zagurski stated she is not familiar with the noise levels produced by the vacuums,
however, they should not be audible with the adequate buffering installed. The existing tree line is
substantial for the site.
Zagurski clarified the building height for the Planned Development (PD), it restricts up to three-
stories, and there is no actual foot amount.

residential, and the lack of signage regulations in the PD, the project shall comply with the Code
of Ordinances sign requirements for non-residential districts as well as the following limitations:
a. no illuminated wall signs may face an adjoining single-family use; and 3. The proposed 6-foot

BACKGROUND
The property owner is proposing a zoning change from Neighborhood Residential Mixed Use (NRMU) to
Community Mixed Use General (CM-G). The purpose of this rezoning request is to facilitate the

store with gas station islands. CM-G is proposed as a more appropriate zoning district for this location,
because it is at the intersection of two primary arterials, the Future Land Use for the area is Community
Mixed Use, and it has primarily commercial uses on adjacent properties.

OWNER:
Victory & 288 LLC
APPLICANT:
Jon Featherston
BACKGROUND:
The property owner is proposing a zoning change from Neighborhood Residential Mixed Use
(NRMU) to Community Mixed Use General (CM-G). The purpose of this rezoning request is to
facilitate the development of a convenience store with gas pump islands on a property at the
intersection of two major roadways which currently is occupied by vacant structures.
This property is located at the intersection of two primary arterial roadways surrounded primarily
by commercially developed properties. The Community Mixed-Use General zoning district is
intended to provide the shopping, services, recreation, employment and institutional facilities that
are needed by the surrounding community, particularly in locations with easy access, such as along
major roadways or at the intersection of local roads and arterial streets, making CM-G a more
appropriate zoning for this location.
SITE DATA:
The subject property is a single 0.744 acre parcel. The property is currently developed with two
vacant buildings and accessory structures.
The property is currently zoned Neighborhood Residential Mixed Use, which is a high-density
residential mixed-use district that permits primarily multifamily residential (as part of a mixed-use
development), detached single-family residential housing, and medium-intensity commercial and
institutional development including hotels, daycares, small retail stores, medical centers, and bars
and restaurants with certain limitations.
A schedule of permitted uses in the current zoning district is attached as Exhibit 7.
The property has approximately 136.19 feet of frontage on East University Drive, approximately
120.8 feet of frontage on the service road for TX State Highway Loop 288 (Loop 288), and
approximately 84.66 feet of frontage on a corner clip at the intersection of E. University Drive and
Loop 288. Both East University Drive and Loop 288 are classified as Primary Arterials per the
City of Denton Mobility Plan. Primary Arterials provide major traffic movements within the City;
they are typically the highest traffic volume roadways in the city. East University Drive is a six-
lane divided roadway. The service road is a two-lane access roadway connecting to Loop 288,
which is four- to six-lane highway. The subject property has driveway access on both frontages.

REVIEW CRITERIA:
1. Section 35.3.4.B of the Denton Development Code (DDC) states that an application for a
rezoning may be approved based on the following criteria:
a. The proposed rezoning conforms to the Future Land Use Element of the Denton Plan
2030.
The purpose of the CM-G District is intended to provide the necessary shopping, services,
recreation, employment and institutional facilities that are required and supported by the
surrounding community. This zoning is typically located in areas with easy access, such
as along major roadways or the intersection of local roads and arterial streets. Most
commercial and institutional uses are permitted by right. Multi-family dwelling is
permitted with an approved Specific Use Permit or as part of a mixed use development.
Refer to the attached list of permitted uses in the CM-G District for further detail (Exhibit
7).
The proposed CM-G District is compatible with the surrounding areas. The property has
frontage on East University Drive and on Loop 288, both Primary Arterials, and the
property is in close proximity to other commercial uses, which makes the permitted
commercial uses in CM-G (including drive-through uses) compatible with the area. The
undeveloped properties in the area are located along Primary Arterials and zoned either
EC-C or NRMU, both of which permit commercial uses, so a CM-G District should be
compatible with these properties, since most or all are likely to develop as commercial
properties. Some CM-G uses may be considered less compatible with the duplex
neighborhood and adjacent single-family neighborhood to the southwest, but these
neighborhood are more than 800 feet away and buffered from the subject property by a
thick line of trees and dense shrubbery.
Per the Future Land Use Map in Denton Plan 2030, the subject property is designated as
Community Mixed Use. The Community Mixed Use land use designation is intended to
promote a mix of uses, of which various commercial uses remain predominant, but where
residential, service, and other uses are complimentary. This land use applies to existing
and future commercial areas in the city, where redevelopment to mixed-use is desirable.
The intent is to encourage infill and redevelopment for a more diverse and attractive mix
of uses over time.
b. The proposed rezoning facilitates the adequate provision of transportation, water, sewers,
schools, parks, other public requirements, and public convenience.
It is not anticipated that this rezoning would impede adequate provision of public
infrastructure. East University Drive and Loop 288 are both Primary Arterials and can
handle the traffic demand of the primary and supporting uses intended for Community
Mixed Use areas. Both water and wastewater service are available along the front of, or
adjacent to, the property. However, additional analysis will be conducted at the site
development phase to determine impacts on surrounding infrastructure. Compliance with
all transportation, drainage, and infrastructure requirements is mandatory with
development of the site. Further, all proposed development must meet City requirements
for tree preservation and other environmental impacts.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the request as it meets the established criteria in DDC Section
35.3.4B.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION:
To comply with the public hearing notice requirements, 6 notices were sent to property owners
within 200 feet of the subject property, 11 courtesy notice postcards were sent to physical addresses
within 500 feet of the subject property, a notice was published in the Denton Record Chronicle,
and two signs were placed on the property. As of this writing, staff has not received any responses.
NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING:
As of this writing, no neighborhood meeting was held by the applicant.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
On August 8, 2018 the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing and recommended
approval of the request \[6-0\]. At the public hearing, applicant spoke regarding the request and
answered brief questions from commissioners. Commissioners expressed appreciation for potential
redevelopment of the property that would be enabled if the rezoning request is approved.

City Council District #3
August 21, 2018
REQUEST:
Hold a public hearing and consider an ordinance of the City of Denton, Texas, regarding the
assignment of an initial zoning classification of Neighborhood Residential 2 (NR-2) zoning district
and use classification on a parcel of land containing approximately 1.0 acre of land generally
located on the north side of Miller Road, approximately 460 feet east of the intersection of N.
Masch Branch Road and Miller Road, in the City of Denton, Denton County, Texas; adopting an
$2,000.00 for violations thereof; providing a severability clause and an effective date. The
Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval (4-0). (Z18-0007, Little Brook Estates,
Cindy Jackson)
BACKGROUND:
The applicant, Marc DeGenaro representing Daniel Sobarames Hernandez, is requesting approval
of an initial zoning designation of NR-2, pursuant to the development of the site with a single
family residence.
The NR-2 District is primarily intended for single-family uses with a maximum density of two
dwelling units per acre. For subdivisions greater than two acres, there are no minimum lot sizes
stipulated by the Denton Development Code (DDC). Non-residential uses by right or with limitations
include churches, outdoor recreation, kennels, and veterinary clinics. More intensive non-residential
uses, including day cares, elementary schools, and equestrian facilities, are permitted with a Specific
Use Permit (SUP).
SITE DATA
The site is part of Lot 7 of Little Brook Estates. Little Brook Estates was subdivided by metes and
bounds in 1977 prior to annexation into 16 one (1) acre parcels. Miller Road was created by
easement at the same time. The one (1) acre subject site was annexed into the City in 2010 as part
of PAA2. It is currently zoned RD-5X, which is the holding district assigned to newly annexed
property.
The subject site is located within 1,000 feet of two gas well Drilling and Production Sites. The
reverse setback required between a new protected use and a gas well drilling and site is 250 feet.
The subject site is approximately 600 feet from the nearest pad sites.

CONSIDERATIONS:
Section 35.3.4 of the DDC states that an application for a rezoning may be approved based on the
following criteria:
1. The proposed rezoning conforms to the Future Land Use element of the Denton Plan.
Per the Future Land Use Map in Denton
This designation is intended for large tracts of land that are appropriate for well-
planned, larger scale office and employment parks developed in a campus-like setting that will
include supporting uses such as retail, hotels, and residential. This designation is proposed for areas
that are in close proximity to commercial use areas and employment hubs within the city. The
proposed NR-2 zoning district are compatible with the Business Innovation Future Land Use
designation.
When a rezoning request does not conform to the Future Land Use Designation for the site, the
DDC provides additional criteria for evaluation of the request in Section 35.3.3.B(3). The
following criteria are intended to balance the interest in promoting the public health safety, morals,
or general welfare against the right to the use of the property:
a. The existing land use pattern surrounding the property and the possible impact on existing or
future development or uses that are in accordance with existing regulations.
The existing land uses surrounding the subject site include single family residences, and open
pasture. There are some gas wells located in the area, however, they are outside the required
reverse setback of 250 feet. The proposed residential use is appropriate for this location.
b. The possible creation of an isolated district unrelated to adjacent and nearby district.
The applicant is requesting an initial zoning of the site to NR-2 for the purpose of constructing
a single family residence. The site is part of Lot 7 of Little Brook Estates. Little Brook Estates
was subdivided by metes and bounds in 1977 into 16 one (1) acre parcels. Miller Road was
created by easement at the same time. The one (1) acre subject site was annexed into the City
in 2010 as part of PAA2. It is currently zoned RD-5X, which is the holding district assigned to
newly annexed property.
c. The population density in order to facilitate the adequate provision of transportation, water,
sewer, schools, parks, public convenience, and other public requirements.
The overall density of Little Brook Estates is one (1) dwelling unit per acre, which is lower
than the maximum permitted density of two (2) dwelling units per acre in the NR-2 district.
Water service is available to the site, and the developed lots utilize a septic system for
wastewater. The potential impact of development of the site was anticipated during annexation
and was found to have little effect.
d. The cost to the City and other governmental entities in providing, improving, increasing or
maintaining public utilities, schools, streets and other public safety measures.
drainage, and infrastructure requirements. Impact fees for water, wastewater, and roadways
would be assessed with building permits.
e. The possible impact on the environment, including but not limited to, drainage, soil erosion
and sedimentation, flooding, air quality and water quantity.
Given that the use will be for a single family house, environmental impacts are not anticipated
to be an issue. A drainage analysis of the site will be conducted during the platting and civil
engineering process to ensure no negative impacts.
f. Whether there are substantial reasons why the property cannot be used in accordance with
existing zoning or that proposed by the Future Land Use Map.
The subject property was annexed in 2010 as part of section PAA2 and this is the initial zoning
assignment for the subject property. Upon annexing, a holding designation of RD-5X is placed
on the property. While a single family house would be permitted, a minimum of 5 acres is
required. As a result, the property is limited in the uses permitted.
g. The action shall be made with reasonable consideration of the character of the district and its
peculiar suitability for particular uses, and with a view of conserving the value of buildings
and encouraging the most appropriate use of land throughout the City.
Per the Denton Plan 2030 and the Future Land Use Map, the most appropriate zoning
designations for this site are either of the Rural Districts, Employment Center Commercial
(EC-C), and Employment Center Industrial (EC-I). The proposed rezoning to NR-2 would
maintain the large lot residential character of the area.
2. The proposed rezoning facilitates the adequate provision of transportation, water, sewer,
schools, parks, other public requirements, and public convenience.
The property is currently served by an eight (8) inch water line. The single family house will be
required to install a septic system for wastewater. Additionally, a single-family house will have a
de minims impact on the transportation network.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
While the rezoning request does not comply with the Future Land Use Map, the request does
comply with the criteria in Section 35.3.3.B (3), and the character of the surrounding area. As such,
staff recommends approval of this rezoning request.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION:
To comply with the public hearing notice requirements, ten notices were sent to property owners
within 200 feet of the subject property, 15 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.
The applicant did not hold a neighborhood meeting.
