II. General Information & Status Update
A. Pending Council Requests Work Session Topics – The following items will be
discussed during the November 5 City Council work session. Each week, the topics
that will be presented during the next week’s agenda will be included in the Friday
Report the prior week. Staff contact: Stuart Birdseye, City Manager’s Office
1. Citizen Police Review Boards
a. Request for an Informal Staff Report with information about how other
cities in the area conduct citizen police review boards.
b. Staff anticipates this request to take 20 hours to develop this report. Staff
will need to research whether the City’s charter requires that this board
would need to be created through meet and confer, whether staff
positions would be required to support the panel, and discuss the
operations in-depth with Dallas, Fort Worth, and other large cities.
c. Requestor: Council Member Armintor
d. Date Requested: September 25, 2019
e. Related Information: None
f. Requested Format for Response: Informal Staff Report taking more than
2 hours
B. Woodrow Site Clean Up – Staff is recommending clean-up of a site in the wooded
areas surrounding 300 S. Woodrow Ln. due to significant growth, excessive trash
and debris, health and safety concerns, watershed concerns, complaints from
residents and neighbors, continued public safety calls at this location and, the
assessment related to outreach services. The site is an active encampment. The
attached memo outlines the history and actions taken at the site, explains the
recommendation from an interdepartmental team, and next steps. Staff contact: Dani
Shaw, Community Development
C. Citizen Police Review Boards – Council Member Armintor will be presenting an
ISR request to study how other cities in the area conduct citizen police review boards
at the November 12 council meeting. While a full ISR will take more than two hours
to complete, staff wanted to briefly provide some background information to
Council regarding this request. Typically, cities form citizen police review boards
in response to an officer-involved shooting or a questionable use of force. The board
reviews both these cases and other complaints filed against the police department.
Some form of citizen police review boards are in the process of being established in
Fort Worth and revised in Dallas (in response to officer-involved shootings). When
staff conducted an initial survey of other smaller metroplex cities with comparable
populations to Denton, no such citizen police review boards were found (see table
below). Staff will proceed with an in-depth report regarding the operations of these
boards if directed to do so by during the November 12 work session presentation.
Staff contact: Frank Dixon, Police
D. Drug Paraphernalia Cases – On November 7, Council Member Armintor requested
information about all drug paraphernalia cases that are in the municipal court
database for the past year. From November 1, 2018 to November 1, 2019, there were
391 Possession of Drug Paraphernalia cases filed with the Denton Municipal Court.
This total only indicates the number of cases within the system, and does not take
2
into account other Police interactions for that time period which may have included
an officer using discretion not to cite the citizen or take other action. Staff contact:
Frank Dixon, Police
E. Dental Office Rezoning – Earlier this week, some elected officials received an email
from a business owner who was concerned that their dental office fronting on
Teasley Ln., which they are proposing to tear down and rebuild, was transitioned
from NRMU12 to R7 which does not allow medical offices. Staff is continuing to
explore options for this case. More information of what is allowed in R7 zoning can
be found in the attached Informal Staff Report No. 2019-186. Staff contact: Scott
McDonald, Development Services
F. Online Police Reports – On Thursday, November 7, the City of Denton Police
Department temporarily disabled the online police reporting system. This planned
outage is part of the implementation process for the new computer automated
dispatch and records management system (CAD/RMS), and, specifically, the
transition from the Lexis Nexis Coplogic on-line reporting system to a new
system. The new system will provide an entirely new system for filing, managing,
and releasing reports. Staff estimates that the on-line reporting system will be up
and running no later than February 1st, 2020. Residents may still file reports by
calling the non-emergency number at 940-349-8181. For emergencies, residents
should call 911. Staff contact: Frank Dixon, Police
G. Inclement Weather Overview – As inclement weather may be approaching soon,
staff has drafted a summary of the policy decisions approved by Council last year
for 1) the use of City facilities as inclement weather stations and related
communications plan, and 2) requested use of Parks and Recreation Department
facilities after regular business hours by nonprofit agencies. The attached summary
will be used to help guide staff and address inquiries that may be received for the
use of facilities.
As a reminder, when non-profit agencies decide to extend their own nights, hours,
or services because of inclement weather, Community Development staff helps to
facilitate communication and sends out an email to all stakeholders including
nonprofits, cities, county, public safety agencies, DCTA, library, active volunteers,
etc, to inform them of the inclement weather openings that have been confirmed.
This helps to spread the word to clients, especially those that may be at City facilities
or Our Daily Bread during the day. In addition, the information is shared on social
media channels of the non-profit agencies and the City. Staff contact: Sarah
Kuechler, City Manager’s Office/Public Affairs
H. MKOC Transition Update – Monsignor King Outreach Center has begun the
transition to full implementation of the enhance shelter program and opening the
emergency shelter seven nights a week. It is on track to open full-time by the
expected January 15, 2020 launch date. MKOC has hired Katherine Gonzales as the
shelter director. She will begin on November 18.
In the coming weeks, interviews will be held for the Assistant Director and Case
Management positions. The facility improvements necessary to support the full-time
3
shelter operation are also underway. Painting has been completed. A portable
building is being installed to accommodate the additional space needed for staff
including the housing-focused case management. The portable should be
operational by November 15. Electrical upgrades to the main shelter building are in
the process of being bid out to contractors and the hard-wearing durable flooring
able to withstand heavy and continuous traffic will be bid out in the next few weeks.
Storage lockers for residents’ personal items will be purchased after Thanksgiving.
MKOC is now seeking grant and donation support for much needed roof repairs.
The shelter has and will continue to seek volunteers especially as cooler
temperatures are expected and inclement weather shelter will be needed In
November and December. Anyone interested in information on volunteering should
visit https://www.kingoutreachcenter.com/copy-of-stay-with-us or sign-up today at
https://signup.com/client/invitation2/secure/1530157/false#/invitation.
Staff Contact: Dani Shaw, Community Development
I. Development Review Fees – The Development Services Department conducted a
cost of services analysis in summer 2019. Once the analysis was completed, cost
recovery data was shared with the City Council at their August 20th work session.
Following the work session presentation, City Council directed staff to increase
development fees to the following cost recovery levels for Fiscal Year 2019-2020:
Planning – 84%
Building – 93%
Engineering – 100%
Revised development fees went into effect on October 1, 2019. While development
fees increased, the fee structure remained unchanged from prior years. Due to the
fee increases, several developers reviewed Denton’s development fee schedule for
the first time and misinterpreted how to calculate development fees. Since the new
fees went into effect, City of Denton staff have met with developers one-on-one to
answer their specific questions and provided a detailed development fee overview
to the Denton Community Development Alliance on October 14. Development fee
information was also provided at the November 4 Developer Town Hall meeting.
Staff is currently restructuring the online fee schedule to help clarify how to
calculate development fees and is developing an online calculator that will provide
developers with a detailed estimate of all development and impact fees that will be
assessed for a proposed development project. Prior to submitting applications and
paying associated fees, developers are strongly encouraged to request a Pre-
Application Conference where staff can provide a detailed overview of the City of
Denton’s development review process and discuss associated fees for a proposed
project. Pre-Application Conferences can be requested online at
www.cityofdenton.com/landdevelopment. Staff contact: Scott McDonald,
Development Services
J. The Nook Design at Emily Fowler Library – On August 2, a summary of a proposed
project was provided in a Friday Report about a Quakertown Park project, which
the Parks and Recreation, Library, and Rotary Club (Noon) were considering. The
Rotary Club had reached out to staff about the possibility of working with the city
4
for a potential improvement project in the park that would also celebrate the 100th
Anniversary of the organization.
Originally, staff provided two ideas that consisted of the enhancement to the existing
outdoor stage adjacent to the Senior Center, or the development of a small
performance nook and gathering space on the south side of the Emily Fowler
Library. Rotary Club was interested in working on the library concept to provide
additional opportunities to enhance and encourage lifelong learning and reading.
This performance venue will help improve opportunities for programs, special
events, and activities to take place at the Library, Quakertown Park, as well as the
city as a whole. The project supports the city’s music heritage and cultural district
development efforts. The Library Board supports the project, and PARD staff will
be providing an update to the Parks, Recreation and Beautification Board in
December. Renderings of the venue are attached.
Since the last update to City Council, Rotary Club kicked off a campaign to raise
funds to support the project. In just a few months, they had approximately $50,000
pledged for the project. The concept design and video rendering, created by PARD,
is expected to cost between $50,000-$75,000. Once finalized at the end of the
month, the construction drawings will allow for a more accurate cost estimate.
In September and October, staff worked with Development Service and the Historic
Landmark Committee to ensure the design fit within the historical architecture of
the library. A Certificate of Appropriateness was provided in October when the
committee got the design concept, which was well received.
With the completed drawings, PARD will move forward with bids, and construction
would follow. If the project can be completed by the Arts and Jazz Festival in 2020,
it will move forward immediately; if not, staff would wait until after the event to
begin construction. Staff contacts: Gary Packan, Parks and Recreation and Jennifer
Bekker, Library
K. Tennis Tournament – This weekend, November 9-10, The Goldfield Tennis Center
will be hosting the third annual Denton Challenger Tennis Tournament. This
tournament is a sanctioned event by the United States Tennis Association ( USTA).
There are 491 players registered that are from age 10-18 years old. Participants are
from all around the state of Texas. Staff contact: Jason Barrow, Parks and Recreation
L. Criteria Manuals – In an effort to continue to improve the development review
process, enhance customer service, and improve efficiency new Criteria Manuals
and updates to existing Criteria Manuals have been drafted. When drafting the
proposed new and updated Criteria Manuals staff seeks to streamline the process,
clarify what is required, and involve the diverse stakeholders as much as possible.
Because these Manuals will be maintained and updated annually, the Manuals will
be reviewed frequently to ensure they are current and maintained consistent with
process improvements.
Staff has drafted the following Criteria Manuals:
5
• Administrative Criteria Manual (new)
• Environmentally Sensitive Areas Criteria Manual (new)
• Construction Criteria Manual (update)
• Solid Waste Criteria Manual (update)
• Stormwater Design Criteria Manual (update)
• Transportation Criteria Manual (update)
• Water and Wastewater Criteria Manual (update)
Staff has scheduled the following meetings and next steps to receive feedback:
• Criteria Manuals published online (see link below)
• October 16 – P&Z Work Session (ESA Criteria Manual)
• November 4 – Developer Town Hall
• November 6 - P&Z Work Session
• November 8 – Texas Society of Professional Engineers Meeting
• November 12 – City Council Work Session
• November 13 and 14 – Public Open House (Development Services Center)
• November 21 – Denton Community Development Alliance (DCDA)
Meeting
• November 30 – End of Public Comment Period (Review and Consolidate
Comments)
• December 11 – P&Z Public Hearing (Administrative and ESA Criteria
Manuals)
• December 17 – City Council Public Hearing (all Criteria Manuals)
Please note, once initial feedback is provided by the public and development
community, staff will revise the manuals to address comments and provide
clarification and then have Legal complete a formal review of the final draft Criteria
Manuals.
The general public can access the Criteria Manuals and leave comments at
https://www.cityofdenton.com/business/development-review/criteria-manual-
update.
The objective is to maintain and update the Criteria Manuals annually, each year the
review process for all the Criteria Manuals will occur during October through
December, with an effective date of January 1st. Staff Contact: Ron Menguita,
Development Services
M. Texas Arbor Day 2019 – The City of Denton Parks and Recreation Department, in
conjunction with Keep Denton Beautiful, celebrated Denton’s first Texas Arbor Day
on Saturday, November 2, by planting 71 trees at the new North Lakes Dog Park
with the help of 84 volunteers. The commemoration continued with an official
Proclamation read by Mayor Chris Watts at the November 5 City Council meeting.
Texas first observed Arbor Day in 1889, under the leadership of the Texas Forestry
Foundation. While National Arbor Day is celebrated the last Friday in April, Texas
celebrates Texas Arbor Day on the first Friday of November. The cooler
6
temperatures of Fall are better for planting and establishing trees, which is why
Texas established Texas Arbor Day in 2013. Staff contact: Haywood Morgan, Parks
and Recreation
N. Denton Sustainable School’s Award Winners – The City of Denton had 32 schools

O. Nissan Leaf Rebate – The American Public Power Association has announced an
extension of a partnership with Nissan for rebates on the purchase of a 2019 Nissan
Leaf electric vehicle. Rebates of up to $3,500 are available to customers of public
power utilities through January 2, 2020. This rebate supplements the $300 rebate
offered by DME for the purchase of new electric vehicles. Information can be found
by visiting https://www.publicpower.org/public-power-rebates-nissan-leaf.
DME recently took advantage of this rebate to introduce a Nissan Leaf to the Electric
Metering fleet as a replacement for an outgoing gasoline-powered vehicle. Use of
electric vehicles for light-duty applications can provide a reduction in total cost of
ownership through decreased fuel and maintenance costs in addition to elimination
of tailpipe emissions and reduced environmental noise. Data gathered as part of this
vehicle’s operation will be used to inform decisions regarding further addition of
electric vehicles to the DME fleet. Staff Contact: Chase Wittman – DME Business

7
Department, various community members, and university students to help people
learn how to make repairs to their own small electronics. The goal of this program
is to reduce the number of electronics going into the landfill. More about this event
and others like it will be posted on the Sustainable Denton website as the events
draw closer. Staff Contact: Katherine Barnett, Sustainability
Q. Temporary Parking Lot for School Construction – The City of Denton is working
with the Denton Independent School District on the potential use of a portion of
Avondale Park along Hanover Drive for a temporary parking lot during the Wilson
Elementary construction. The construction is expected to take up to two years. The
proposed temporary parking lot would return to open parkland after the construction
is completed.
The City and DISD are working closely to find a solution with the least amount of

MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 8, 2019
TO: Todd Hileman, City Manager
Sara Hensley, Assistant City Manager
FROM: Sarah Kuechler, Director of Public Affairs/IGR
SUBJECT: 300 S WOODROW LN TX
Staff is recommending clean-up of a site in the wooded areas surrounding 300 S. Woodrow Ln.
due to significant growth, excessive trash and debris, health and safety concerns, watershed
concerns, complaints from residents and neighbors, continued public safety calls at this location
and, the assessment related to outreach services. The site is an active encampment. The following
memo outlines the history and actions taken at the site, explains the recommendation from an
interdepartmental team, and next steps.
HISTORY
The site has been identified as an encampment of people experiencing homelessness. Please see
below a map showing the location of the site and photos (see additional photos in Attachment 1).
MAP IMAGE
The Street Outreach team has visited the site at least monthly since November of 2018 to provide
social service outreach and referrals. Since August of 2019, the Street Outreach team has
encountered an increasing number of individuals during their visits. During prior visits, up to
March 2019, there were only three (3) tents and three (3) to four (4) people encountered on-site.
10
2
The number and size have grown considerably over the last six (6) months with the most recent
visit on October 18, 2019 having approximately thirty-four (34) tents and twenty-five (25) or more
people on-site.
Various City departments including Police, Fire, Health Inspections and Water/Wastewater staff
have visited the site since the City was made aware of the trash and debris as well as the health
and safety concerns due to complaints from residents and neighboring properties, public safety
calls at this location, and visits to the site by Parks and Recreation staff working on the site. The
visits identified isolated areas of trash and debris with significant health and safety concerns. In
addition, the site has substantially expanded its overall footprint of trash and debris. Review of the
site and photos provide a vision of the appearance of the city property (Attachment 1).
STREET OUTREACH
By way of background, the Street Outreach Team is a cross-sector collaborative team with
representatives led by Giving Hope, Inc., Vision Ministries, and other nonprofit partners along
with Denton Police and a Denton Fire Paramedic conducting outreach to individuals living
unsheltered two (2) to four (4) times a month. Their goal is to meet homeless individuals in their
environment, provide them with information on housing, employment, and benefit resources they
may qualify to receive, and connect them to resources.
EVALUATION
The site has been evaluated by an interdepartmental team of Parks and Recreation, Community
Improvement Services, Health Inspections, Watershed, Police, Fire, Community Development,
Public Affairs, and Legal. This team collaboratively works together to address the impacts of
homelessness on City property and services and improve connections to available resources. Prior
to the City interdepartmental team evaluating this site, the Street Outreach Team visited this
location at least a dozen times and at least three (3) times within the last three (4) months to perform
Coordinated Entry assessments and get individuals connected to resources.
The recommendation of this interdepartmental team was not an easy or quick decision. It is made
understanding that it may impact some of our most vulnerable citizens. It is because of this that
the City has increasingly coordinated with the Street Outreach Team to assist those in need to find
services. However, their safety, and the safety of all citizens, is of primary concern and
responsibility. The data that has been gathered indicates that this is an increasingly unhealthy and
dangerous environment for those living on the site as well as those living/working/visiting near
the encampment. There is the likelihood of negative impacts to other areas including the
watershed, which is adjacent to this area. The intention is that the recommended clean-up process
be handled in a manner that is both transparent and respectful.
This interdepartmental team, in consultation with the Street Outreach Team, is recommending that
the site be cleaned up based upon the following considerations:
The focus area is an active encampment: Based upon all visits, by the Street Outreach Team,
Denton Police Department, Fire/EMS, and Parks & Recreation, over a period of six (6) months,
twenty-five (25) or more individuals in thirty-four (34) tents have been located as a living or
staying at the site. As stated earlier, this has grown considerably in a short period of time as
visits from prior to March 2019, there were only three (3) tents and three (3) to four (4) people
encountered on-site.
11
3
Outreach Assistance: The Street Outreach Team most recently visited the site three (3) times
on August 9, September 6, and October 18. They estimate that approximately thirty-four (34)
tents and twenty-five (25) or more individuals are on-site. Due to the site conditions, volume
of trash, and severe health and safety concerns, representatives with the Street Outreach Team
support cleaning the area. The Street Outreach Team has been asked to make a concentrated
effort to visit the site this month to assist individuals and to provide notice that the site will be
cleaned up soon, so individuals can get connected to other resources or plan accordingly.
Community Improvement Services: There are multiple sites of scattered loose trash and
debris making up approximately 20-25 cubic yards in total that creates a serious public health
and safety concern (MAP IMAGE).
Health Concerns: There is a significant accumulation of junk, litter and trash associated with
the camp, including putrescible food waste, and some evidence of bodily waste in the
immediately surrounding area. This collection of trash, debris and waste meets the criteria of
unsanitary, unhealthful, and unsafe nuisance conditions as defined under Chapter 14 of the
City of Denton Code of Ordinances.
Watershed Concerns: Due to this area being adjacent to the stream, there are some concerns
regarding flooding and contamination into nearby waterways. Tents and materials are located
150 to 200 feet from the stream. In the event of a large storm event, the water levels could rise
quickly and cause the material next to the embankments to become buoyant and get carried
downstream into the lake. Encampment is located within the floodplain, with the southern
camp and refuse areas in the floodway, which is the stream and adjacent land threat per FEMA
must remain free of obstruction for conveyance. This is a serious public safety hazard for any
individuals that may be staying there if water levels rise quickly, especially during overnight
hours.
Fire/EMS Department: The Denton Fire Department has responded approximately 41 times
to the area from Oct. 2018 to Oct. 2019, including 22 EMS calls related to the encampment
site. When the EMS visited the site conducted street outreach on October 18, 2019, they found
significant health issues and treated multiple people.
Police Department: The Police Department has record of responding to 142 calls including
self-initiated with 23 reports taken at 300 S Woodrow since October 2018. Approximately five
(5) of the twenty-three (23) appear to be related to calls at Monsignor King Outreach Center,
while the others were for assaults, theft, drunkenness, drug/narcotic violations,
destructive/damage/vandalism of property, or assistance to PARKS/CIS to view the area.
Resident Complaints: Because the site was somewhat hidden from public view by the street,
trail, or park, there is not a substantial history of complaints related to this site. However, in
the last two (2) months there have been an increasing number of resident complaints received
through the Engage Denton App and the site is now visible from the Woodrow thoroughfare.
Denton County Juvenile Justice Center: The encampment is near the Denton County
Juvenile Detention Center at 210 S Woodrow Ln. The center has contacted the City with
concerns related to the proximity of the encampment to the school program hosted at that site,
the visibility of the encampment including more trash and debris, and the increasing foot traffic
behind the county building.
Nearby Property Owners/Service Providers: As MKOC begins the final transition to
opening seven days a week with enhanced shelter services, there will be the opportunity for
emergency shelter beds available full-time to people currently living unsheltered and to
become part of the enhanced shelter program. MKOC has expressed concerns with the
encampment near their facility and inquired to City staff numerous times, with increasing
concern as the shelter approaches transitioning to be open full-time.

Future Site Plans: As the Parks and Recreation Department is planning for the next 10 years
and beyond for the city, a series of trails are being proposed across Denton. One proposed trail
is the Pecan Creek Linear Trail. This linear park would connect the Katy Trail with numerous
parks including Moore, Young and Woodrow. The alignment of the trail would follow the
drainage ditch and proceed through the area in which is proposed to be cleaned up. This trail
would also provide connectivity to MKOC to downtown services. Currently, no funding is
allocated for this construction, but it is being included in the proposed Parks, Recreation and
Trails System Master Plan.
Due to the significant growth, excessive trash and debris, significant health and safety concerns,
health/illness risks, potential contamination to nearby waterways, potential flood risks, continued
public safety calls, complaints from residents, and concerns expressed from nearby property
owners and service providers, the team is recommending clean-up of the site.
CLEAN-UP PROCESS
Staff plans to proceed with the following steps to clean-up the site, but beforehand, give advance
notification to individuals who may be impacted by the clean-up of the site, and hopefully, provide
a connection to resources to individuals who may benefit from such resources.
Street Outreach Visits: The City will request that the Street Outreach team visit the site prior
to clean-up to provide referrals and a final reminder that any personal property must be
removed before the scheduled clean-up. Community Development will work with Our Daily
Bread, Monsignor King Outreach Center, and Salvation Army to have an announcement of the
clean-up location made at shelters and during meal services.
Post Signs: On December 2, 2019, Parks and Recreation staff will post signs in various visible
locations around the impacted area to notify anyone who may have an ownership interest in
items located, on or around the impacted area which is City property that said City property
will be cleaned up on a specified date and time, which will be 14 days from the date the sign
is posted (December 16, 2019); that such items will be removed from the impacted area on the
specified date/time and may be subject to disposal provided the owner of the item cannot be
reasonably identified and/or fails to remove the items by the specified date and time on the
posted sign; and lastly, that any item that is debris, unusable, hazardous or pose a health or
safety risk, or is unsanitary or in soiled condition will be discarded. The signs shall include a
City contact person and phone number where an individual can contact the City with any
questions they may have pertaining to the notice on the sign. The signs will also include
identification of a contact person(s) to connect any individuals experiencing homelessness to
social services and available resources.
Contractor Clean-up: Parks and Recreation will have a contractor begin clean-up of the area
on or about December 16, 2019. It is unknown how many days this process may take to
complete. Inclement weather could cause delays in the clean-up of the property. The estimated
cost of contractor clean-up is $7,000-$10,000.
After the Site is Cleaned: Signs will be posted to be consistent with other Park property and

warm/cool, dry, and safe place to escape the weather extremes.
Certain City of Denton facilities are made available for public use during inclement weather under policy
500.07 Use of City Facilities for Inclement Weather. Inclement weather is defined as abnormal weather
conditions with extreme temperatures or extreme weather conditions and meets one or more of the
following conditions:

communication and sends out an email to all stakeholders including nonprofits, cities, county, public safety
agencies, DCTA, library, and active volunteers to inform them of the inclement weather openings that have
been confirmed. This helps to spread the word to clients, especially those that may be at City facilities or Our
Daily Bread during the day. In addition, the information is shared on social media channels of the non-profit
agencies and the City.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Use regulations in R7 District
BACKGROUND:
Late in the development of the 2019 Denton Development Code (DDC), a new district, R7, was
introduced to provide a mixed-density district that permitted limited small-scale commercial uses.
The intent was to bridge the gap between purely residential districts and mixed-use districts for
targeted infill areas and in transitional contexts. The R7 District would allow development scale
to increase, but in a manner harmonious with nearby neighborhoods. Permitted residential uses
(with additional use-specific standards) include single-family detached dwellings, townhomes,
duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes. Commercial uses are more limited, with day cares permitted
by right, and banks, offices, small retail, and laundries permitted only with a Specific Use Permit
(SUP) and use-specific standards. Medical Offices such as pediatricians, dentists, and psychiatrists
are not permitted.
The Transition Table adopted with the approval of the 2019 DDC outlined which 2002 zoning
districts would convert to R7 District, focusing on those districts which most closely aligned with
the purpose of the R7 District. They included DR-1, NRMU-12, and MF-1 (MF-1 was a hold-over
from the 1969 Development Code and only affected four properties). The transition was not a
perfect match, but rather an approximation of the appropriate uses and development scale typically
found in the areas previously zoned DR-1, NRMU-12, and MF-1 Districts.
DISCUSSION:
Under the 2002 DDC, DR-1 was primarily a moderate-density residential district, while NRMU-
12 permitted a variety of residential, commercial, and institutional uses. Permitted commercial
uses in NRMU-12 District were generally limited to professional and medical offices under 10,000
square feet and neighborhood-serving retail under 5,000 square feet. The purpose was to allow for
small-scale uses which support the day-to-day functioning of neighborhoods within walking
distance from residential areas. Landscaping, buffers, and adequate parking were required in order
to reduce potential impacts and increase compatibility.
Original drafts of the 2019 DDC removed DR-1 and NRMU-12 in favor of a more inclusive MN
District which permitted a large variety of higher density residential and commercial uses.
However, as the 2019 DDC came together, it became apparent that the menu of zoning districts
needed a bridge between residential districts and mixed-use districts to ensure compatibility. R7
District was a result.
This late-inclusion of R7 has created some issues with implementation. Generally, the
implementation for residential uses in R7 District has been straightforward; however, commercial
uses, and in particular offices and medical offices, have encountered more complexity with the
new use and development regulations. The SUP requirement for offices and the prohibition of
30
Date: November 8, 2019 Report No. 2019-186
medical offices has created nonconformities for some property and business owners. While their
businesses were permitted legally in NRMU-12, they now cannot expand their businesses or
rebuild more modern facilities without complying with the nonconforming regulations outlined in
Section 1.5 of the 2019 DDC.
In order to address this issue, staff is revisiting the transition from the 2002 DDC to 2019 DDC to
more closely align with the previous NRMU-12 regulations and determine which gaps and
inconsistencies in the R7 District can be corrected. Immediate areas of concern include
Administrative, Professional, and Government Office and Medical Office. These were uses
permitted with a limitation on size in NRMU-12, but are now permitted with an SUP or prohibited
in R7. The potential correction would include the following DDC text amendments:
Table 5.2-A Section 5.3 Use-Specific Standards
Use R7 District
Administrative,
Professional, and
Government Office
P+
Section 5.3.4H revise the following language:
R3, R4, R6, and R7 Zoning Districts
Administrative, professional, and government office
uses shall not exceed 10,000 square feet per lot.
Add the following language:
R7 Zoning District
Uses greater than 10,000 square feet or not located on
an arterial roadway require a specific use permit
pursuant to Subsection 2.5.2: Specific Use Permit
(SUP)
Medical Office P+
Section 5.3.4H add the following language:
R7 Zoning District
Uses greater than 10,000 square feet or not located on
an arterial roadway require a specific use permit
pursuant to Subsection 2.5.2: Specific Use Permit
(SUP)
The major change is to permit small-scale Medical and Professional Offices in R7 along arterials,
but larger buildings and those uses in areas interior to neighborhoods would still require an SUP.
These proposed changes will assist with current non-conforming developments and would allow
the limited development of low-impact uses in R7 District with targeted City Council oversight to
ensure compatibility with surrounding neighborhoods.
CONCLUSION:
Staff will be bringing this proposal forward to City Council in the near future to discuss the R7
correction.

FY 2018-2019 Denton Energy Center (DEC) Dashboard – September 2019
(Preliminary Year-End Actuals)
BACKGROUND:
Attached is the FY 2018-2019 Denton Energy Center Dashboard for September 2019. The
dashboard is intended to give a snapshot of relevant DEC metrics. The dashboard highlights the
following:
The Emission Chart displays the September engine runtime hours, starts, stops, monthly
and annual emissions totals and limits.
o Cold Start – Emission system is below 115°. More emissions are produced from
cold starts than warmer starts.
o Warm Start – Emission system is between 116° and 170°.
o Hot Start - Emission system is above 170°.
o Stops – Emissions are produced each time the engine is stopped.
DEC MWh Generation and Gross Revenue for FY 2018-2019 through September 2019.
A DEC financial summary showing FY 2017-2018 Actuals, FY 2018-2019 Budget,
Fiscal Year End Projections and the FY 2018-2019 Preliminary Actuals by Expense
Category.
o The FY 2018-2019 Preliminary Actuals show that the DEC Net Income was
$14.22 Million which is higher than the estimated $(2.44) Net Loss. This was due
to higher DEC revenues in August & September, as well as lower fuel and
operating cost.
o DEC Debt Service principal and interest payments will exceed budget by $9.1M
this year in adherence to bond requirements. The variation does not change total
debt service paid over the life of the bond, but does increase the FY 2018-19 debt
service payment.
The Plant Monthly Run Hour Comparison Graph illustrates the monthly plant run times.
The Key Trends section explains the footnotes in the financial section and will be used to
explain variances in revenues and expenses.
o The DEC Gross Margin was $30.3 Million which is $8.9 Million higher than
budgeted. (The Gross Margin = DEC Revenue – Fuel cost –Variable Operating
& Maintenance cost.) Gross Margin represents the component of revenue
available to pay fixed cost including debt.
As we continue to gain historical data of DEC operations we’ll be better able to identify trends in
future months.
