with City Council in the Friday, Dec. 14 report and posted on the City’s website

here. A Council Member asked if there was a report that could show a list of

priority areas where the city scored markedly different from the benchmarks or

from prior year survey results. The survey vendor, National Research Center,

provided 8 different reports including a report titled the 2018 Citizen Survey

Dashboard. Staff has highlighted in color on this dashboard report where the city

was higher or lower than benchmarks or prior year results – please see the attached

dashboard report. Staff will be working with departments to review the survey data

and develop next steps and an action plan to improve ratings, including integrating

goals and metrics into the City’s strategic plan. Staff contact: Sarah Kuechler,

celebration will be held on Jan. 11 from 3-5 p.m. in the City Council Work Session

D. Seven Acre I-35E Development – On Dec. 13, staff was asked to provide

information on a development near the Southridge Village Shopping Center off of

I-35E. A senior housing multifamily development is being proposed at this site,

but the City has not yet received an application. Since “elderly housing” is allowed

by right in the RDR-2 zoning district, the proposed development would be allowed

without a public hearing. The property would need to be an institutional use, be

licensed by the State of Texas, and provide care onsite to be considered an “elderly

housing” development in the Denton Development Code. Below is the definition

of elderly housing found in section 35.23.2 of the Denton Development Code:

Elderly Housing. A structure licensed by the Texas Department of Aging

and Disability, eighty (80) percent of whose occupants are fifty-five (55)

years of age and older, and that; meets the definition of one (1) of the

three (3) uses listed below:

o Elderly Housing, Assisted Living: Services in these

establishments include assistance with daily activities, such as

dressing, grooming, bathing, etc.

o Elderly Housing, Congregate Care Facility: A facility for long-

term residence generally for persons fifty-five (55) years of age or

older, and which shall include, without limitation, common

dining, social and recreational features, special safety and

convenience features designed for the needs of the elderly, such

as emergency call systems, grab bars and handrails, special door

hardware, cabinets, appliances, passageways, and doorways

designed to accommodate wheelchairs, and the provision of social

services for residents which shall include at least two (2) of the

following: meals services, transportation, housekeeping, linen,

and organized social activities.

o Elderly Housing, Life Care Housing and Services: A residential

complex, which may contain multi-family dwellings, attached

dwellings, single-family dwelling and other types of dwellings

and structures designed for and principally occupied by senior

citizens. Such facilities will include one of the following: A

congregate meals program in a common dining area, assisted

living housing, nursing home facilities, congregate care facilities,

or medical facilities.

E. Rezoning on Elm Street – Information was requested regarding a potential

rezoning for a development on Elm Street north of Windsor Drive (north of the

Family Dollar). The application was to change the zoning from Neighborhood

Residential Mixed-Use 12 to Neighborhood Residential Mixed-Use. In addition to

a rezoning, this project will also require a Specific Use Permit (SUP) prior to

approval for building multifamily development at this site. Attached are the Nov.

28, 2018 Planning & Zoning Commission minutes detailing the Commission’s

discussion on this subject. The Commission questioned whether the applicant

would be open to an overlay to reduce the density and the applicant stated they

would. The Commission chose to postpone the item until February 20, 2019 to

hear the SUP to allow the applicant time to determine if they would still be

interested in moving forward with a density overlay. The applicant agreed to come

back before the Planning & Zoning Commission on that date. Staff contact:

Denton, TX Dashboard Summary of Findings 2018

1

Summary The National Citizen Survey™ (The NCS™) is a collaborative effort between National Research Center, Inc. (NRC) and the International City/County Management Association (ICMA). The survey and its administration are standardized to assure high quality research methods and directly comparable results across The NCS communities. The NCS captures residents’ opinions within the three pillars of a community (Community Characteristics, Governance and Participation) across eight central facets of community (Safety, Mobility, Natural Environment, Built Environment, Economy, Recreation and Wellness, Education and Enrichment and Community Engagement). This report summarizes Denton’s performance in the eight facets of community livability with the “General” rating as a summary of results from the overarching questions not shown within any of the eight facets. The “Overall” represents the community pillar in its entirety (the eight facets and general).

By summarizing resident ratings across the eight facets and three pillars of a livable community, a picture of Denton’s community livability emerges. Below, the color of each community facet summarizes how residents rated each of the pillars that support it – Community Characteristics, Governance and Participation. When most ratings were higher than the benchmark, the color is the darkest shade; when most ratings were lower than the benchmark, the color is the lightest shade. A mix of ratings (higher and lower than the benchmark) results in a color between the extremes.

Broadly, ratings for most items across the three pillars of community livability were positive and similar to those given in other communities across the nation. In Community Characteristics, ratings within the facets of Education and Enrichment and Community Engagement were higher than the national benchmarks, while levels of Participation within Recreation and Wellness were lower than average. This information can be helpful in identifying the areas that merit more attention.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Denton County Transportation Authority to Implement Fare, Service

and Schedule Changes on January 14, 2019

Changes to include a new local fare structure, launch of microtransit on-demand service

in Lewisville and updates to existing programs and bus service

LEWISVILLE, TEXAS (January 2, 2019) – On Monday, January 14, 2019, big changes will go into

effect for Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) passengers. The agency will implement

fare, service and schedule changes that will provide more real-time mobility options, easier fare

structure, permanent lower local ticket prices and updated programs to better serve riders.

“We have significant plans for our January 2019 service changes to improve how we do

business to better serve our stakeholders and riders,” said Raymond Suarez, DCTA

President. “Our main priorities with these changes are to improve mobility and livability

in the many communities we serve.”

Below is a list of key changes that will go into effect Monday, January 14, 2019:

New Fare Structure to Provide Lower Ticket Options and Ease of Use for Riders

Current fare prices featured in DCTA’s Local Fare Promotion will become permanent, which will

encourage ridership and continue to offset the recent increase in regional fares. Key soon-to-be

permanent DCTA local fare highlights include the Local Day Pass priced at $3 (was $6 before Local

Fare Promotion), Local 31-Day Pass priced at $48 (was $90 before Local Fare Promotion) and the

Local Annual Pass priced at $480 (was $650 before Local Fare Promotion).

In addition, the agency will discontinue its connect fare and all DCTA local fare will be categorized as

local day, local a.m. and local p.m. fare. This will reduce the need for transfers and allow riders to

have access to more DCTA services at a cheaper price. More information about DCTA’s new local

fare structure can be found at RideDCTA.net.

Key Updates to DCTA University Programs and Programs

DCTA and the University of North Texas (UNT) will extend the university’s Lyft program for students

that launched August 2018. The program provides students traveling within the specified UNT Lyft

Zone with a complimentary Lyft ride for save travel after hours. The service is available from 2 a.m.

to 7 a.m., seven days a week. All program parameters will remain the same.

Starting January 14, 2019, DCTA’s University A-train Free Ride promotion will no longer be

available. The current promotion allows UNT, Texas Woman’s University (TWU) and North Central

Texas College (NCTC) students, faculty to ride DCTA’s A-train for free with a valid university

identification card. In addition, the North Texas Xpress service which was also free for university

students, faculty and staff in conjunction with the University A-train Free Ride promotion will also no

longer be free come January 14, 2019.

DCTA Expanding its Microtransit Service for More Real-Time, Flexible Rides

DCTA will launch a new on-demand, microtransit service that will provide travel options for those

needing to access the Lakeway Business Park area in Lewisville and surrounding businesses in the

designated zone. There will also be a stop at DCTA’s Hebron station for connections between

Connect Routes 21 and 22, the A-train and the Lewisville Lakeway Zone. This new service will

replace the portion of Lewisville Connect Route 21 through the Lakeway Business Park area and will

require a local fare to ride.

Microtransit service offers real-time flexible routing and scheduling of vehicles. Similar to Uber and

Lyft, DCTA-branded vehicles will carry a handful of riders at a time. Passengers can book a trip in

real time via the Spare Rider mobile app, which can be downloaded from the Apple and Google Play

store, or by phone calling 940.243.0077.

In addition, the agency’s current Denton Enterprise Airport On-Demand service will change from a

pilot program to a regular service the agency will offer passengers. The service will now require a

local fare and will no longer be free for riders.

Enhancements to Bus Service for a Better Rider Experience

DCTA is making tweaks to some of its existing bus routes which include:

Denton Connect Route 7: The routing has been changed so it no longer travels from

Hickory, north on Locust to McKinney, and south on Railroad to the Downtown Denton

Transit Center (DDTC). The new routing has it traveling continuously down Hickory Street

until it gets to the DDTC. In addition, DCTA updated the schedule.

Lewisville Connect Route 21: The portion of this route that serves the Lakeway Business

Park Area in Lewisville will be replaced with the new Lewisville Lakeway On-Demand

service.

Mean Green Night Rider and Discovery Park Campus Shuttles: The Saturday schedule

for both UNT Campus Shuttles will become the current Sunday schedule.

fare changes, visit RideDCTA.net.

Minutes Planning and Zoning Commission

November 28, 2018

After determining that a quorum was present, the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Denton, Texas convened in a Work Session on Wednesday, November 28, 2018 at 4:30 p.m. in the Council Work Session Room at City Hall, 215 E. McKinney Street, Denton, Texas at which the following items were considered:

PRESENT: Chair Andrew Rozell, Commissioners: Alfred Sanchez, Larry Beck, Jason Cole, Mat Pruneda, Margie Ellis, and Tim Smith. ABSENT: None. STAFF: Scott McDonald, Richard Cannone, Jerry Drake, Hayley Zagurski, Julie Wyatt, Cindy Jackson, Ron Menguita, Sean Jacobson, Karen Hermann, Charlie Rosendahl and Cathy Welborn.

WORK SESSION Chair Rozell opened the Work Session at 4:37 p.m. 1. Clarification of agenda items listed on the agenda for this meeting. This is an opportunity for Commissioners to ask questions of staff on the Consent and Regular Agenda items, which may include a full briefing on an item in the order it appears on the regular session agenda. Any such briefing will be repeated in regular session. Chair Rozell stated Public Hearing item 2A has been postponed to the December 12, 2018 meeting. Hayley Zagurski, Senior Planner, presented Public Hearing item 2B. Zagurski stated this item is being continued from the November 14, 2018 Planning and Zoning meeting per the applicants request to allow more time to develop a modified plan. Zagurski stated following the meeting the applicant decided to move forward with staff’s original recommended conditions. Staff does recommend approval with the following conditions: 1. The City Council recognizes that driveway access locations from state highways must be approved by the Texas Department of Transportation (“TxDOT”), and that alterations in the configuration of I-35 are currently in planning. Any driveway access locations from the northbound I-35 frontage road which must be altered in response to changing TxDOT requirements during the permitting process may be administratively approved by City staff, provided that such alterations comply with all DDC and criteria manual requirements, and that all remaining elements of the approved site plan are satisfied. 2. Landscaping in the attached site plan reflects an intent to comply with the DDC requirements for parking, street trees, minimum landscape and canopy areas, and compatibility buffers, with administrative approval of alternative buffer elements permitted in accordance with DDC 35.13.8. Minor alterations to the depicted locations of individual plantings

 

2  

may be approved by City staff, provided that the final landscaping, as planted, complies with the attached site plan in terms of buffer and open space locations, as well as all elements of the DDC. 3. The Agreement entered into and executed by CL Ventures LLC and Sage Natural Resources, LLC, which sets forth the 250 foot reverse setbacks for the multi-family development from the two wells as shown on the attached site plan, must be filed in the records of Denton County prior to approval of a plat for the subject property, and a note on the plat shall reference the Agreement and setbacks. 4. Notwithstanding the limited administrative approvals authorized in conditions 1 and 2, the City reserves the right to require approval by ordinance of any amendments to the SUP, the attached site plan, and the elements described previously, including those referenced in conditions 1 and 2. Commissioner Beck questioned if there is a definite plan for commercial development. Zagurski stated no there is no set date. Commissioner Smith questioned why the applicant decided to go with staff’s recommendations and conditions. Zagurski stated the way notices are worded City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission can only recommend or approve conditions that are equal to or more restrictive then what was seen at the meeting. Zagurski continued what the applicant was proposing was less restrictive and would have required another notification. Cindy Jackson, Senior Planner, presented Public Hearing 2C. Jackson stated this item has been continued from the October 28 2018 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting to allow the tenants time to address the parking issues associated with the two suites. Jackson stated staff did go out on 11/28/2018 and discovered the vehicles from the adjacent lot had been removed and Mr. Melton has vacated suite 111 and Mr. Haynie has now leased suite 111. Jackson stated staff does recommend denial, but should the Planning and Zoning commission decide to approve the request staff recommends the following conditions: 1. A new Certificate of Occupancy for the correct use, Quick Vehicle Servicing, must be applied for and approved. 2. The new Certificate of Occupancy shall state that the proposed use of Quick Vehicle Service is limited to this particular business owner and these two particular suites. 3. This Specific Use Permit will be limited to the use description and floor plan shown in Exhibit 8 and Exhibit 9. 4. Overnight outdoor storage of automobiles is prohibited. 5. No more than two customer vehicles per each business can be parked in the parking spaces in front of the building during business hours. Commissioner Pruneda questioned if the applicant would need a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for both suites. Jackson stated yes he would. Chair Rozell questioned if it is in the authority of the Planning and Zoning Commission or City Council to limit the Certificate of Occupancy to a business. Chair Rozell stated Jackson affirmatively responded to Commissioner Pruneda’s question that the applicant would need an SUP of each suite and requested her to clarify if there would be another SUP coming before the commission. Jackson stated she misunderstood Commissioner Pruneda’s question and the SUP currently in question is for both suite 110 and 111. Chair Rozell questioned given the provisions why staff is still in denial of the request. Jackson stated due to the use being

 

3  

denied in 2010, staff thought it would be better for the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council decide if the location is appropriate for the use. Julie Wyatt, Senior Planner, presented Public Hearing item 2E. Wyatt stated the Denton Development Code (DDC) does not address Planned Developments (PD), even though it did carry over 15 PD's that were in effect prior to the adoption of the 2002 code. Wyatt stated staff looks to the 1991 code to regulate and administer the PD’s. Commissioner Beck questioned if the applicant could build a residence up to 3600 square feet. Wyatt stated the way lot coverage is calculated in the City of Denton does not only include the structure but also includes all impervious surfaces. Wyatt stated Staff does recommend approval of the request as it meets the criteria for approval with the following condition: 1. Any development must conform to the General Concept Plan, Detailed Plan, Landscape Plan, and text.

Jackson presented Public Hearing item 2D. Jackson stated the request is for an SUP to allow for a free standing monopole tower and associated equipment room. Jackson stated staff does recommend approval of the request as it is compatible with the surrounding property and conforms to all applicable requirements of section 35.12.8, Wireless Telecommunications Facilities. Commissioner Smith questioned when the applicant sent out the notification for the neighborhood meeting and where it was held. Jackson stated the applicant sent out notices 10 days before the meeting and the meeting was held at the Emily Fowler Library. Jackson presented Public Hearing item 2F. Jackson stated the request is to consider a zoning change from Neighborhood Residential Mixed Use 12 (NRMU-12) to Neighborhood Residential Mixed Use (NRMU). Jackson stated the request will require a Specific Use Permit (SUP) which will also come before the commission. Jackson stated with the number of notifications received in opposition, approval would require super majority vote from City Council. Jackson stated staff does recommend 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. Commissioner Ellis questioned if staff took into consideration what other uses this zoning change could open the property up to besides multi-family. Jackson stated yes, but with the property being located on a primary arterial, the requested zoning district permits neighborhood services and neighborhood commercial uses staff considers to be compatible. Chair Rozell stated at the last two Planning and Zoning meetings the commission has seen a zoning and SUP request in tandem. Chair Rozell then questioned why there is a delay for the SUP. Jackson stated the applicant did not submit for a SUP and has not started on the engineering for the site.

Commissioner Pruneda questioned the type of leases the apartments would have. Jackson stated usually when there is single room occupancy they are four bedrooms and these are one or two bedroom apartments. Commissioner Beck questioned what type of buffer would be required. Jackson stated they would have to add a type C buffer on the sides that neighbor the church and the single family residents. Chair Rozell stated Public Hearing item 2G is postponed to January 9, 2018. Chair Rozell called a recess at 5:55 p.m. Chair Rozell reconvened the Work Session at 6:10 p.m. Richard Cannone, Deputy Director of Development Services and Hayley Zagurski, Senior Planner, presented Public Hearing item 2H. Chair Rozell closed the Work Session at 6:28 p.m. 2. Work Session Reports

The property is generally located on the north side of Windsor Drive, east of the I-35 N frontage road in the City of Denton, Denton County, Texas. (S18-0008, Windsor Drive Apartments, Hayley Zagurski). THIS ITEM HAS BEEN CONTINUED FROM THE NOVEMBER 14, 2018 PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING.

Chair Rozell stated Public Hearing item 2B was continued from the November 14, 2018 at which time the Public Hearing was closed. Hayley Zagurski, Senior Planner, presented Public Hearing item 2B. Zagurski stated following the meeting the applicant decided to move forward with staff’s original recommended conditions. Staff does recommend approval with the following conditions: 1. The City Council recognizes that driveway access locations from state highways must be approved by the Texas Department of Transportation (“TxDOT”), and that alterations in the configuration of I-35 are currently in planning. Any driveway access locations from the northbound I-35 frontage road which must be altered in response to changing TxDOT requirements during the permitting process may be administratively approved by City staff, provided that such alterations comply with all DDC and criteria manual requirements, and that all remaining elements of the approved site plan are satisfied. 2. Landscaping in the attached site plan reflects an intent to comply with the DDC requirements for parking, street trees, minimum landscape and canopy areas, and compatibility buffers, with administrative approval of alternative buffer elements permitted in accordance with DDC 35.13.8. Minor alterations to the depicted locations of individual plantings may be approved by City staff, provided that the final landscaping, as planted, complies with the attached site plan in terms of buffer and open space locations, as well as all elements of the DDC. 3. The Agreement entered into and executed by CL Ventures LLC and Sage Natural Resources, LLC, which sets forth the 250 foot reverse setbacks for the multi-family development from the two wells as shown on the attached site plan, must be filed in the records of Denton County prior to approval of a plat for the subject property, and a note on the plat shall reference the Agreement and setbacks. 4. Notwithstanding the limited administrative approvals authorized in conditions 1 and 2, the City reserves the right to require approval by ordinance of any amendments to the SUP, the attached site plan, and the elements described previously, including those referenced in conditions 1 and 2. Lee Allison, Allison Engineering, the applicant, presented a presentation.

Commissioner Pruneda questioned if the gas wells are currently active. Zagurski stated they are both active. Chair Rozell read into the record the opposition from Ed Soph, 1620 Victoria Dr. Denton, Texas 76209. Commissioner Beck provided his concerns and findings regarding gas wells. Commissioner Pruneda stated if the item was denied from Planning and Zoning Commission it would still go before City Council and require a super majority vote. Chair Rozell stated he will be supporting the project. With the current setback requirements City Council has agreed on, the Planning and Zoning Commission might be setting arbitrary conditions that are not codified by City Council.

Date: January 4, 2019 Report No. 2019-001

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT

TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL

SUBJECT:

On January 1, 2019 Council Member Paul Meltzer sent an email to Ken Banks, General Manager of

Utilities, regarding a scientific study to evaluate gas well setback distances for the City of Denton. In the

email, Council Member Meltzer requested staff to provide an informal staff report addressing the

following question “To reduce upfront cost, would it be feasible to take it a step at a time and just test

whether our current 250 foot reverse setback is safe and healthy—including under conditions where

fracking is taking place?”

DISCUSSION:

An informal staff report (ISR) regarding a scientific study to evaluate gas well setback distances was

provided to the City Council on December 21, 2018 (ISR 2018-194). The information included in ISR

2018-194 was designed to address a previous request by Council Member Meltzer to determine a setback

distance that was adequate for protecting public health. Staff provided detailed recommendations on

major study elements to include in such a study, based largely on a similar study conducted by the Eastern

Research Group (“ERG”) for the City of Fort Worth during 2010-2011. The approach used in ISR 2018-

194 was designed to assess multiple distances to determine a distance that was protective of public health

according to the parameters specified within the ISR. Using information from the ERG study, ISR,

2018-194 also stated that it is not unreasonable to expect the study to be in the 2 million dollar range, and

to take perhaps 1.5 to 2.5 years to complete

The request made on January 1, 2019 involves assessment of a single distance of 250 feet, which will be

more analogous the Fort Worth ERG study and should reduce costs. However, staff recommends

excluding the element of assessments “under conditions where fracking is taking place.” The rationale

for this recommendation is due to the fact that a large number of fracking events will need to be assessed

to understand contaminant concentrations and to have enough data to model. Currently, fracking is a rare

event in Denton because drilling is not occurring, and as a result it is unlikely that there will be enough

fracking events available to provide an adequate assessment unless the study extends for a very long time.

This will likely continue to be the case unless energy markets change substantially.

Estimating the cost of such a study is difficult, but using the same approach as applied in ISR 2018-194,

staff expects that a “single distance” study for Denton would be in the 1 to 1.4 million dollar range and

would likely take 1.5 to 2 years to complete.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT

TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL

SUBJECT:

Examples of recent projects that would be impacted by the Denton Development Code update.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

On November 13, 2018, City Council requested information on projects that would be approved under the current

Denton Development Code (DDC), but would no longer be allowed under the proposed DDC, and projects not

allowed currently that would be allowed under the proposed DDC. Staff has reviewed recent projects and chosen

a few examples to highlight key differences between the current DDC and proposed DDC. Generally, the

proposed DDC allows for more flexibility in methods by developers to reach the desired outcome for the City.

The following information is based on the latest draft of the proposed DDC which is subject to change through

the process of adoption. The consolidated draft will be available in late January 2019 in advance of a work session

in February 2019 with City Council.

EXAMPLES:

Staff has researched several examples to highlight key differences and the subsequent effects following the

adoptions of the proposed DDC. Examples 1 and 2 are projects that are currently prohibited under the DDC, but

would be permitted in the proposed DDC. Examples 3 and 4 are projects that are currently permitted, but would

be prohibited in the proposed DDC.

Example 1: Landscaping requirement at the site on Audra Lane

There was a recent project (ADP18-0005) where a church on Audra Lane was requesting to add additional parking

to their site. This addition required to applicant to meet the current landscape code, so the site had to have the

following:

Maintain a tree canopy of 50 percent.

Type “C” 15-foot-wide along the areas adjacent

to residential development

Front Parking Screening of:

o 15-foot-wide landscape area;

o Landscape berm;

o 1 large tree per 40 linear feet or 3 small

trees per 30 linear feet; and

o Xeriscaping, 3-foot shrub row, or 3-foot

high wall.

There were constraints on this site that made it difficult to achieve the landscape standards and ultimately what

they were required to include to meet the Code was not the best strategy for the site or the City. For example,

there is a drainage easement and detention pond on the site and the inclusion of the required berm would have

negatively impacted the drainage on the site. An Alternative Development Plan (ADP) was approved by the

Planning and Zoning Commission on August 8, 2018 that allowed the site to modify the requirements with the

following deviations:

Date: January 4, 2019 Report No. 2019-002

Maintain all existing trees and provide parking lot and screening trees with a total site canopy coverage

of 30 percent;

Add 83 parking spaces and decrease the landscape area to 58 percent; and

Have a 20-foot-wide landscape frontage with a continuous double row of shrubs and 1 tree every 25 linear

foot.

In the proposed DDC, there would be flexibility in the way that the landscape and conservation standards are

applied, so rather than requiring an ADP for the site, the applicant would have been able to do a combination of

various buffering methods in order to meet the proposed points-based standard for the future landscape code in

the DDC. This would have resulted in the site meeting the goal of the City to have a buffer for certain types of

development while allowing the applicant to do so in a manner that is better for the long-term health of the

landscaping on site.

Example 2: Specific Use Permit for multi-family dwellings

Currently, NRMU and NRMU-12 districts require the approval of a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for multifamily

dwellings. The future comparable zoning districts would not require SUP approval. There were 70 zoning changes

from August 2016 to August 2018, and eight of those rezoning would not have required an SUP due to the

proposed zoning changes in the DDC update.

Example 3: Villages of Carmel Development

Finally, for residential subdivisions over two acres, the current DDC allows developments to rely on a maximum

density instead of minimum lot sizes and dimensions. For example, the Villages of Carmel contains some lots

as small as 4,000 square feet; however, under the proposed DDC, subdivisions similar to the Villages of Carmel

would require a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet square feet. As an example of the differences in lot sizes,

the photo below depicts a 4,305 sf lot in blue and 7,200 sf lot in green. This modification would yield larger lot

sizes, potentially reducing density.

Date: January 4, 2019 Report No. 2019-002

Example 4: Bell Avenue multi-family complex

In the current DDC, portions of commercial parking lots can be constructed with pervious material to meet the

minimum landscape area requirement. The proposed DDC removes this allowance, and instead, requires

landscape areas to be constructed as a planted area. This amendment would require some developments to modify

their site plans to ensure that the designs meet the intent of landscaping requirements. For example, a recent

multi-family project located at the corner of Industrial Street and Bell Avenue used pavers to meet the landscape

requirement, resulting in parking coverage on almost the entirety of the site. Under the proposed regulations, the

pavers would not be counted toward the minimum landscaping requirements, reducing the parking area, and by

extension, the number of dwelling units.
