CITY OF DENTON CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
March 18, 2014
After determining that a quorum was present, the City Council convened in a Work Session on
Tuesday, March 18, 2014 at 3:00 p.m. in the Council Work Session Room at City Hall.
PRESENT: Mayor Pro Tem Kamp, Council Member Engelbrecht, Council Member Gregory,
Council Member King, Council Member Roden, and Council Member Hawkins.
ABSENT: Mayor Burroughs
1. Citizen Comments on Consent Agenda Items
There were no citizen requests to speak.
2. Requests for clarification of agenda items listed on the agenda for March 18, 2014.
Council Member Hawkins requested a clarification of Item J on the Consent Agenda.
City Attorney Burgess stated that Council would be discussing that item in Closed Session.
Council Member Gregory requested that Consent Agenda Item J be pulled from the Consent
Agenda for separate consideration to provide a public explanation.
Council Member Roden questioned Consent Agenda Item G regarding the amendment to the
food ordinance. He had a question regarding parking in the City’s right-of-way but there was no
listing in Closed Session for such a discussion. He suggested that item be pulled for further
discussion.
City Attorney Burgess stated that the item could be added to the Closed Session for discussion.
Council Member Roden asked about the provision relating to changes in itinerary and the need to
have it approved by a Planner. He questioned if that was an additional provision added to the
ordinance.
Kurt Hansen, Building Official, stated that had already been the process and staff wanted it
codified in the ordinance.
Council Member Roden asked if that would be done in-house or with a separate process.
Hansen stated staff would help facilitate it through the Planners.
Council Member Roden questioned whether the provision for filing an itinerary change was two
days after the change or before the change.
Hansen stated that the current code was two days before the change was made.
Council Member Roden stated that the intent from the operators was if they had an original
permit with three sites approved, there would be flexibility to move to a different location than
noted in itinerary.
City of Denton City Council Minutes

Hansen stated that they could have a different day but still be at an approved location. There was
latitude to provide locations but not be specific for days and times.
Council Member Gregory stated that his definition of itinerary and schedule were the same.
Itinerary was not defined in the ordinance. He felt itinerary was a list of places but not a
schedule. As long as itinerary was defined as a list of places where the trucks could go that were
preapproved, then the trucks could notify staff of the location.
Hansen stated that the form showed time and days but a change would be permitted for just
locations that were approved. It was necessary to keep track of where the trucks were and when
they were there.
Council Member Gregory suggested defining itinerary as a list of approved locations where one
may operate. Notification of a location was different. That would accomplish both aspects.
City Manager Campbell stated that a footnote could be added on the form regarding the changing
times.
Council Member Engelbrecht questioned the 12 foot separation of vehicles from a building and
other mobile trucks.
Hansen stated that until there was a food truck park ordinance, the code indicated that there
needed to be that separation for safety regulations. He felt 12 feet was a good compromise for
safety precautions.
Council Member Engelbrecht questioned if the parking lot that was under construction in
connection with an establishment on Oak Street was aware of that regulation as it appeared that
the parking spaces were closer than 12 feet.
Cabrales stated that the owner of the establishment who was building the lot was well aware of
the regulation.
3. Receive a report from the NCTCOG staff, hold a discussion and give staff direction on the
implementation and enforcement of local idling restrictions and some lessons learned in
North Central Texas.
Katherine Barnett-White, Sustainability and Special Projects Administrator, stated that Amanda
Brimmer from the North Central Texas of Governments (COG) had a presentation for Council.
Brimmer reviewed a North Texas air quality update. 2018 was the revised attainment date for air
quality standards and levels of traffic congestion. Health issues, the effect on the environment,
energy security and money were several reasons to be concerned about vehicle idling. She
reviewed the state restriction with eligible exemptions for vehicle type, operations and location
plus applicability to types of vehicles. Information on cities, town and counties with locally
enforced idling restrictions was provided.
City of Denton City Council Minutes
March 18, 2014
Page 3
In terms of adoption, a city could adopt its own anti-idling ordinance or sign a memorandum of
agreement with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to enforce the State rule. COG
encouraged consideration of additional restrictions in terms of prohibition in sensitive areas,
regulation of more fuel types and weight classes and fewer exemptions/shorter duration. The
State regulation would set the minimum standards.
Education and outreach included (1) identifying idling hotspots, (2) promoting awareness of
restrictions and (3) idle-reduction technology options. Available outreach items included local
government guide, anti-idling posters and street signs, driver education brochures and idling
complaint hotline and website.
Enforcement actions might include identifying enforcement personnel, determining procedures
to spot and cite violators and establishing a mechanism for complaints to be reported.
Brimmer presented information from the city of Fort Worth on their program which was very
educationally based. They posted signs, distributed literature to businesses and made personal
visits to businesses reported for idling. They had not issued any citations at this point, but rather
focused on education. On the other hand, the city of Dallas was heavy on citations. They
patrolled the city monitoring idling vehicles and had the City Marshals Office issue citations to
drivers of idling vehicles with a fine not to exceed $500.
Mayor Pro Tem Kamp stated that she was very supportive of such a program and would like
staff to prepare an ordinance.
Council Member Gregory asked if other city ordinances were mostly wording by the State or by
COG.
Brimmer suggested a reference to the State code to keep it up-to-date.
Council Member Gregory asked if the regulation included passenger vehicles.
Brimmer stated it was just for trucks.
Council Member Roden asked if an ordinance could be created to address light vehicles.
City Attorney Burgess stated staff could investigate and see if light vehicles could be included.
4. Receive a report, hold a discussion, and give staff direction regarding the Denton Plan
Update.
Ron Menguita, Development Review Committee Administrator, introduced the item. He stated
that the WRT consultants would be presenting the detail of the update and stated that staff was
currently in the process of drafting the elements of the Denton plan. Upcoming events included
Community Forum 3, public hearings and final plan adoption.
John Fernsler, WRT, stated that milestones in the process included drafting the Community
Vision Statement and the Preferred Growth Concept.
City of Denton City Council Minutes
March 18, 2014
Page 4
Mayor Burroughs arrived at the meeting.
The Preferred Growth Concept dealt with recommended growth areas, placemaking and urban
vitality, green infrastructure elements and mobility improvements. The result of this would be
the future land use map. He reviewed the 1999 Denton Plan and the progress since 1999. The
progress included a Downtown master plan, DTIP, Clear Creek Natural Heritage Center,
Environmentally Sensitive Areas and a sustainability plan. Current Growth Dynamics was
reviewed.
Trends in the Denton Plan since 1999 included Downtown Denton transit station/A Train,
increased demand for alternative transportation modes, regional leadership, Downtown
revitalization, UNT/TWU growth, increase national trends for multi-family housing and mixed
use, a desire for walkable neighborhoods and public health. Denton Plan issues since 1999
included gas wells, traffic and air pollution, regional competitiveness for quality employment,
and sprawl.
Developing the Plan Elements – The elements would include (1) a vision statement and strategic
directions on what Denton should be in 2030, (2) Community Forum 2 input regarding what was
learned about development and community character preferences, (3) staff input on how to make
the Denton Plan work better, (4) evolving best practices in comprehensive planning and
preferred concept in terms of how other comprehensive plans were working correctly and (5)
preferred concept in terms of how to achieve the desired pattern of growth. The Plan was being
developed for easier use and to be more user friendly. The developing elements of the Plan were
reviewed. Some elements in the old plan that were embedded in other areas were given their
own sections. Implementation and monitoring would deal with a specific action agenda which
identified everything in plan, when it would be done and who would be responsible for the item.
An annual report card would be developed on the progression through the Plan.
Menguita reviewed the next steps in the process including the Denton Plan 2030 development, a
draft Denton plan 2030, City Council and commissions/boards review, Community Forum 3 and
plan refinement and adoption.
Council Member Roden stated that at the Council Planning Session, it was noted that there were
several plans some of which were being updated, or needed to be updated. He asked for a
recommendation on how to coordinate all of these plans and their updates.
Menguita stated that the Mobility Plan was being updating in concert with the Comprehensive
Plan update.
Fernsler stated that the perception was that the City had been proliferate in creating plans. The
Comprehensive Plan looked at all aspects of a community's function ability. There would be
wording included that new updates of various plans took into account their support for the
implementation of the Comprehensive Plan.
Mayor Burroughs felt that the number of people participating in the process appeared to be
relatively small compared to the last revision. He suggested considering inviting all
boards/commissions to one of the forums to get input from them and their perspective.
City of Denton City Council Minutes
March 18, 2014
Page 5
Menguita stated that staff had already gone to some of the boards and would continue to meet
with them to get their input.
Council Member Engelbrecht suggested a forum for the people on the neighborhood list to
encourage them to attend.
Council Member Gregory stated that he envisioned a follow-up with some modifications in the
zoning ordinance such as what was permitted or not permitted in certain zoning categories.
Menguita stated that part of the update was looking at the future land use map so one goal was to
make sure map was consistent with the plan.
5. Receive a report, hold a discussion, and give staff direction regarding an ordinance to adopt
the 2012 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) as amended by the City.
Kurt Hansen, Building Official, stated that codes were published every three years. The current
energy code was the 2009 version with a 10% above code amendment. He reviewed the energy
code comparison between the 2006, 2009 and 2012 codes and the changes in the codes over the
years.
The 2012 Energy Code was published by the International Code Council in the last few months
of 2011. After this publication, the Energy and Green Advisory Board of the North Central
Texas Council of Governments reviewed the code and felt that some of the changes from the
2009 code were too large and recommended some variances.
Council Member Roden asked about the financial impact of COG suggestions.
Hansen stated that he would estimate it to be in the low $2,000. Some builders were already
using the 2012 standards as a marketing tool for a more efficient home. He reviewed the local
amendments that were already in the 2009 code that were going into the 2012 code. Staff was
recommending the adoption of the 2012 code with the COG amendments plus 4%. The next step
st
would be for formal Council approval on April 1.
Mayor Pro Tem Kamp stated that the Council Committee on the Environment had seen the
provision at least twice and suggested that the minutes of those meeting be given to Council to
review
st
Mayor Burroughs suggested placing this item on Individual Consideration for April 1 instead of
the Consent Agenda.
6. Receive a report, hold a discussion, and give staff direction on the City’s Tax Abatement
Policy and Public Improvement District (PID) Guidelines.
Aimee Bissett, Director of Economic Development, stated that the City was required to
renew/adopt a Tax Abatement Policy every two years. The current policy was up for renewal in
April. Prior to bringing the policy forward for renewal, staff would like to present information to
Council regarding additional incentive programs that the City could consider.
City of Denton City Council Minutes
March 18, 2014
Page 6
Public Improvement District (PID) Guidelines – Council established PID guidelines in 2007.
These guidelines were created at the request of the developer of Hunter’s Ranch, a master-
planned residential development that had not been developed at this time. Staff was now looking
at PID guidelines because RED Development, currently developing Rayzor Ranch, had
petitioned the City to create a PID for the south side of the development, Rayzor Ranch Town
Center. The terms requested by RED Development were not consistent with current guidelines.
Bissett reviewed the standards for value of structure and personal property, years of abatement
and percentage of abatement. Additional factors up to five could also be used to help with the
standards. The definition of a 380 agreement and the factors involved in the required public
purpose were reviewed. Discussion points included recruitment initiatives, airport development,
use of land, and others such as small business support, impact fee grant, cash incentives and fast
track programs.
The 380 Program Guidelines would state in broad terms what programs could be implemented,
would give flexibility in the future, created the ability to be creative, noted the disadvantage of
4A/4B cash incentive programs, and offered something unique for specific target initiatives.
Mayor Pro Tem Kamp asked if there had always been an option to have this type of program.
Bissett stated yes, but the challenge was how to budget the incentives.
Council Member King felt that larger companies knew Denton did not have some of those tools
and that gave the feeling that the incentive had to be reinvented every time it was offered.
Mayor Burroughs felt that the City needed to be adaptable for different circumstances. Staff
should move forward with the changes requested by RED instead of trying to do a
comprehensive policy for every PID circumstance.
Consensus of the Council was to proceed with the development of the guidelines.
Following the completion of the Work Session the Council convened in Closed Meeting at 5:24
