OUR CORE VALUES Integrity  Fiscal Responsibility  Transparency  Outstanding Customer Service II. General Information & Status Update

A. Organizational Restructuring – With the recent appointment of Sarah Hensley as the new Assistant City Manager, the City Manager’s Office is reorganizing several areas within the organization to re-balance staff workloads and improve operational responsiveness. There are also changes in the City Manager’s Office that include Mario Canizares being promoted to Deputy City Manager, Tony Puente expanding his role as Chief Financial Officer, and Sara Hensley as the new Assistant City Manager. The City Council will consider the proposed reorganization at their May 7 meeting, pending their approval the changes will go into effect on May 8, 2019. The attached organization chart further describes these changes. The revised structure allows for a more manageable span of control for Department Directors as staff works to complete past bond programs and embark on a new bond program this fall. In addition, the new structure maintains the organization’s strong emphasis on the strides made in development services and infrastructure improvements for streets, drainage, facilities, and technology. The new structure also provides for additional financial oversight on economic development matters and employee benefits. Lastly, it provides a dedicated focus on performance management and business process improvements. Staff contact: Todd Hileman, City Manager

B. Oak-Hickory Public Meeting – On May 2, City of Denton and University of North Texas staff hosted a community meeting at the Village Church (1106 W. Oak Street) to discuss a variety of topics including parking safety concerns, current parking enforcement efforts, strategies to improve the parking landscape, and a status update on the research to determine ownership of the alleyway near 1000 W. Hickory Street. Approximately 45 residents attended the meeting. At the conclusion of the meeting, staff agreed to send the attached presentation and information from the Oak Gateway Area Plan to attendees. Staff also committed to continue the conversation with the community, work with residents and UNT to develop a parking plan for the streets most heavily impacted by student parking, and to have the short-term goals of that plan ready to implement prior to the start of the 2019 semester. Staff has an internal meeting to develop an initial plan and communications strategy for this effort scheduled for Monday, May 6. Staff also has its quarterly meeting with UNT leadership scheduled for June 6 where strategies to address parking safety will be one of the primary topics discussed. As the plan to address parking concerns in the Oak-Hickory area is developed, staff is committed to keeping residents engaged and a part of the process for identifying workable solutions. Additional information related to next steps with this effort will be shared in the May 10 Friday Report following the May 6 internal staff meeting. Staff contact: Mario Canizares, City Manager’s Office

C. Tornado Debris Cleanup – Solid Waste is still picking up tree, brush, and yard waste and debris generated as a result of the storm curbside daily at no cost for the area impacted by tornadic activity in the northeast area of town. Solid Waste is asking residents to cut tree limbs down to between 4 feet and 8 feet in length, and tree stumps should be broken down to the extent possible. Residential customers may also bring yard waste and debris generated as a result of the storm to the landfill, 1527 S Mayhill Road, for disposal at no cost through Saturday, May 4.

2 Residents that bring debris to the landfill will be required to present a valid drivers license showing an address in the affected area. Beginning next week, curbside collection can be scheduled with Solid Waste by calling Customer Service at (940) 349-8700. Staff contact: Ethan Cox, Solid Waste

E. Oak Gateway Area Plan Clarification – On April 19, Council Member Meltzer requested a clarification on the language about incentivizing mixed-use development along Oak and Hickory Streets. The attached map depicts the boundary of the Oak and Hickory Street area contemplated as a future overlay district, refer to Oak Gateway Area Plan recommendation (AREA1-LU3(b)) in the attached Resolution.

This preliminary boundary does not include areas that are primarily single family residential except for some homes on Hickory Street between Avenue C and North Texas Boulevard. All of the parcels within the preliminary boundary are zoned Mixed-Use Neighborhood (MN), except for City or UNT owned parcels zoned Public Facilities (PF) and the Village Church parcels zoned Residential 3 (R3). In the Area Plan, recommendation AREA1-LU3(c) states “Incentivize and encourage mixed-use development with neighborhood serving uses located along Oak and Hickory Street (between Bonnie Brae Street to Welch Street) with nonresidential uses located on the ground floor”, the Committees recommendation was future development within that boundary be multifamily with ground floor commercial to increase walkability. Staff contact: Ron Menguita, Development Services

H. Volunteer Cleanup – On April 29, staff from Keep Denton Beautiful, Parks and Recreation, and City Manager’s Office met with Council Member Meltzer regarding a request by a citizen to develop an event in which the community could volunteer to help beautify areas of the community.

Parks and Recreation will plan on a community tree planting event at a specific park in which the city will purchase trees and they will be planted with volunteers to help beautify the city, a local park and improve the tree canopy. This is tentatively scheduled for Texas Arbor Day on November 1.

Keep Denton Beautiful is working on a community beautification day in which businesses and residents could help beautify selected areas of the city. More details on this effort need to be finalized.

L. Grease Recycling Container – At the April 23 City Council meeting, Council Member Hudspeth requested information about the placement of the grease recycling container for a restaurant on the corner of Loop 288 and Colorado Blvd. Staff investigated this container and found that belongs to McDonald’s and is located on the grass (see picture below).

There are currently no code or health restrictions that would prevent the container from being placed on the grass. Staff contact: Heather Goins, Industrial Pretreatment

M. Building Safety Week – Building Safety Month is a world-wide campaign held in May to raise awareness for building safety and show appreciation for building professionals. To celebrate Building Safety Month, the Development Services Department will be promoting the event through the community by:

• Holding a city-wide coloring contest for children 12 years of age and younger. Submissions will be accepted through May 17 with prizes awarded in three age groups. Entries can be submitted in person at the Development Service Center, 215 W. Hickory Street, or by emailing Angela Adams ([email protected]). • Offering free popcorn at the Development Services Center every Friday in May to discuss building safety, the work done by building professionals, and offer tips to residents for a safer home. • Posting weekly building safety tips on social media for the community. • Having an educational booth at the Denton Community Market on Saturday, May 11, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

5 A proclamation is scheduled for the May 7 City Council meeting in honor of building safety month with Development Services staff in attendance. Staff contact: Scott McDonald, Development Services

N. Lawn Land Equipment Staging – On April 16, Council Member Hudspeth requested information regarding the requirements for equipment staging for specific property along Dallas Drive that was recently purchased by a business owner. The Certificate of Occupancy for Lawn Land is currently limited to 714 Dallas Drive. To use the adjacent property at 706 Dallas Drive for equipment sales/staging the owner would need an additional Certificate of Occupancy. While the two properties are zoned the same, the existing property is a legally nonconforming use and the CO for the new property (706) would require the property to meet current development standards. The owner could move forward with the use of the property as an equipment sales/staging area by petitioning for a special exception under Section 35.11.3 with approval by City Council and platting the property into a single lot. Staff contact: Richard Cannone, Development Services

P. Updated Right-of-Way Ordinance – The City is in the process of drafting a new right-of-way ordinance.

38 Date: May 3, 2019 Report No. 2019-091

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL

SUBJECT: Information regarding the current rezoning request for the Fireside Park development.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On April 9, 2019, the City received a request for rezoning to modify overlay restrictions for the Fireside Park development located at the southwest corner of West Windsor Drive and Hinkle Drive. The subject property, currently being developed as Fireside Park, has a zoning designation of NR-3 District (with overlay conditions) and was recently platted with 107 single-family residential lots and two common area lots to be maintained by a Homeowner’s Association.

Previous zoning approvals included overlay conditions to address surrounding neighborhood compatibility concerns, included in the background. The applicant is seeking to modify the two overlay conditions on the property listed below: 1. Perimeter Fencing- The applicant has requested the requirement for “wrought” iron fencing be removed and the development be allowed to follow the 2002 Development Code standards. The Code states perimeter fences are not mandatory, but if constructed, must be constructed of wood, wrought iron, masonry, brick, vinyl, PVC, or composite material (Section 35.13.9.A). If this overlay condition were to be removed and no additional condition placed on the property, the development would not be required to install fencing. 2. Exterior Building Materials- The applicant has also requested to remove the requirement that the exterior of the homes be brick or stone and allow the development to follow the 2002 Development Code. If approved there would be no minimum masonry requirement, and would allow wood, masonry, stone, stucco, HDO board, or other high quality material customarily used for the building style to be used (Section 35.13.13).

Prior to scheduling the item for public hearing, staff directed the applicant to hold a meeting with the surrounding neighborhoods to inform the property owners and residents of the developer’s request to remove the overlay restrictions. The applicant has scheduled the neighborhood meeting on Wednesday, May 8, 2019, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm at the North Branch Library, 3020 N. Locust St.

Staff will update the City Council once the item has been scheduled for public hearing.

BACKGROUND: 2007 - On February 6, 2007, City Council approved a zoning change from NR-2 to NR-3 with overlay restrictions for approximately 30.7 acres located on the southwest corner of West Windsor Drive and Hinkle Drive. The rezoning increased the density from two dwelling units per acre to three and one-half dwelling units per acre. The overlay conditions were based upon a very detailed site plan which included single-family detached and townhome dwellings:

1. The woods along the south and east boundary of the site will be preserved.

39 Date: May 3, 2019 Report No. 2019-091

2. A perimeter fence with a "wrought" iron appearance, with taller posts topped by a decorative finial at the comer of each lot will be installed along the perimeter of the site. The setback of the fence will be 50' minimum from the existing curb. Rows of shrubbery between the fence and sidewalk will be installed to obtain privacy. The distance from the fence and back of sidewalk will be a minimum of 12-feet. The developer, and later an H.O.A., will take responsibility for maintenance and irrigation of the approximately 3-acre perimeter landscape area. 3. Except for glazing, doors, and trim, the exterior of the homes shall be of vitrified clay brick or stone for all vertical surfaces with a direct load path to the foundation. 4. The following restrictions and conditions shall apply to single- family detached homes: a. Street right-of-way shall be a minimum of 56 feet. b. Parkway width shall be a minimum of 9 feet. c. Sidewalk width shall be a minimum of 5 feet. d. Front yard setback shall be a minimum of 15 feet. e. Side yard setbacks shall be a minimum of 6 feet. f. Rear yard setback shall be a minimum of 10 feet, except for Rear Entry Garages. g. Rear yard setback shall be a minimum of 20 feet if garages are accessed through the rear of the property. h. Front Entry Garages shall be setback 12 feet from the front most wall of that unit. i. Three-car Garages shall not face the street.

2015 - In 2015, a new property owner approached the City with a proposed development for single- family homes for adults aged 55 and older. The owner determined that some of the overlay restrictions would limit development. As a result, they submitted a rezoning application to amend the overlay restrictions. The restrictions removed were design-related and did not increase the density. The following changes were made to the 2007 overlay conditions and are currently in effect for the property:

1. The woods along the south and east boundary of the site will be preserved. 1. A perimeter fence with a "wrought" iron appearance, with taller posts topped by a decorative finial at the comer of each lot will be installed along the perimeter of the site. The setback of the fence will be 50' minimum from the existing curb. Rows of shrubbery between the fence and sidewalk will be installed to obtain privacy. The distance from the fence and back of sidewalk will be a minimum of 12-feet. The developer, and later an H.O.A., will take responsibility for maintenance and irrigation of the approximately 3-acre perimeter landscape area all open spaces and site amenities. 2. Except for glazing, doors, and trim, the exterior of the homes shall be of vitrified clay brick or stone for all vertical surfaces with a direct load path to the foundation. 3. The following restrictions and conditions shall apply to single- family detached homes: a. Street right-of-way shall be a minimum of 56 feet. b. Parkway width shall be a minimum of 9 feet. c. Sidewalk width shall be a minimum of 5 feet. d. Front yard setback shall be a minimum of 15 feet. e. Side yard setbacks shall be a minimum of 6 feet. f. Rear yard setback shall be a minimum of 10 feet, except for Rear Entry Garages.

Date: May 3, 2019 Report No. 2019-091

g. Rear yard setback shall be a minimum of 20 feet if garages are accessed through the rear of the property. h. Front Entry Garages shall be setback 12 feet from the front most wall of that unit. 3. Three-car Garages shall not face the street public or private right-of-way where the entrance/address is located. 4. Any ingress or egress to the subject property shall not remove the on-street bike lane on Hinkle Drive

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL

SUBJECT: Gas well setbacks based on different numbers of wellheads and dispersion models of vapor clouds

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On April 2, 2019, Council Member Meltzer stated that he had recently participated in a joint University of North Texas and Texas A&M Panel / Energy Symposium regarding gas well setbacks. Based on this panel discussion, Council Member Meltzer requested a staff report on the feasibility and desirability of site specific gas well padsite setbacks based on differing numbers of wellheads and dispersion models of vapor clouds.

BACKGROUND: Staff contacted the panelist that provided the setback information referenced above. The discussion was centered on the idea of basing reverse setbacks based on safety and health. However, the examples provided during the panel discussion were related to acute hazards of gas well sites, and included an example of a developer that wanted to maximize the amount of developable land on a property that contains a gas well pad site. The panelist chose to use a modeling tool to analyze the amount of distance that was required to ensure future homes will not be impacted by a release of gas from the gas well pad site due to the gas concentrations exceeding the gas / air mixture’s lower flammability limit (LFL). The lower flammability limit is the lower end of the concentration range over which a flammable mixture of gas or vapor in air can be ignited at a given temperature and pressure. Below this range, the mixture of air and gas cannot be ignited.

The analyses were performed under a variety of potential scenarios to determine the minimum reverse setback distance needed to ensure no impacts, then concluded with a recommended overall minimum distance that was based on the maximum distance potentially impacted. The modeling tool used to perform the analyses was developed by a consulting firm, and used Aloha, Gaussian, and heave gas models. The tool is intended to be used for planning and response purposes to determine the distance from the pad site that might have a flammable environment due to a gas release. In other words, the model was used as a part of an overall a risk assessment to determine the maximum distance that would likely exceed the LFL due to a catastrophic gas release, and used the result to help establish a minimum setback.

The modeling tool uses dispersion modeling to determine gas concentrations at specific distances away from a gas release. It is important that the dispersion model for a given site is based on that site’s gas, pressure, flow, etc. and results will differ due to site conditions and will likely change over time as pressures and flows change at the site. Of note, the model results indicated a 100 foot reverse setback was adequate to ensure protection against a flammable environment during a catastrophic release for the particular site analyzed by the panelist.

Staff contacted the consultant that provided the model to the panelist and asked the consultant to provide a cost estimate for conducting lower flammability risk assessments on a per gas well pad

site basis. These analyses would include the development of a Lower Flammability Limit graph as a function of distance and a figure denoting a “circle of concern” at three choices of concentrations. The costs did not include any report development or additional data analyses, and would need the input of gas well site operators and likely other experts to determine realistic gas concentrations to use in the analyses. The cost for just the lower Flammability Limit graph and three circles of concern figures is $1,485 per pad site. The cost of the additional expertise needed to determine realistic gas release concentrations under various failure models is unknown at this time and will likely be contingent on the characteristics of each pad site.

CONCLUSION: This informal staff report has been provided for informational purposes.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL

SUBJECT: Response to watering maximums request in alignment with Water Conservation

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Due to limited water resources available within the state, many municipalities including Denton have enacted several efforts to maximize conservation of water resources for future years to come. Watering maximums and water loss management are a few among several best practices in conservation of water.

BACKGROUND: On April 2, 2019, Denton City Council was presented the updates for the 2019 Water Conservation and Drought Contingency Plan. Following the presentation, Council requested a report on best practices from other municipalities who have effectively enhanced weekly watering restrictions and helped promote more sustainable irrigation and xeriscaping throughout their respective communities, including information on how other cities notify customers of potential water leaks and water loss issues.

DISCUSSION: The North Texas region has been successful in the effort to conserve water resources in recent years. Many water utilities near Denton have implemented several Best Management Practices (BMPs) provided by the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) that have yielded a decrease in their Gallons Per Capita (GPCD). As noted in the presentation, the City of Denton currently has below average usage on a GPCD basis.

Staff researched approximately 30 entities online and contacted 4 local municipalities directly to collect information to address the council request. Most commonly, municipalities have strengthened the weekly watering maximums through public outreach. Fact sheets and information included with water bills are most common. Some have attested to a community program where the customers are ‘water advocates’ or ‘neighborhood activists’ for a branded program within the municipality, which has not only spread word about watering maximums but also provides positive impacts to water leaks. Active social media presence and customer portals have also improved awareness of watering maximums and water conservation as a whole.

Denton, like many water utilities, utilizes various channels to bring attention to water waste. The utility receives feedback from citizens via the Engage Denton App, and disseminates information to the public using various social media platforms. Depending on local scarcity of water resources, some utilities enforce smaller, private-side water leak repair though fines and violations. Outreach methods discussed above also help some utilities locate water leaks.

Currently, Denton offers many classes and partners with several groups that provide information and education to all residents interested in sustainable landscaping practices. The city currently offers classes covering multiple forms of sustainable landscaping practices, including xeriscaping. The latest community feedback shows demand to support one xeriscaping class per year, and as a result additional city resources have been directed to offer additional courses on other sustainable landscaping and irrigation methods. As community interest changes, class offerings will be updated accordingly to ensure our customers have appropriate resources to implement sustainable landscaping practices at their homes and businesses. The diversity in Denton’s landscaping courses are consistent with other utilities and municipalities in the region and around the country.

CONCLUSION: Staff research into best practices of municipalities’ conservation efforts demonstrate that Denton remains a leader in water resource conservation. Staff will continue the programs discussed in this report in order to continue to promote and encourage water resource conservation.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL

SUBJECT: Provide information concerning the upcoming 2019 Mosquito Season

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City of Denton’s mosquito season officially starts the first week in May. Mosquito monitoring for 2019 will begin May 6, and will continue on an approximately weekly basis until the end of the season in late fall. Monitoring provides information on mosquito populations and the presence of mosquito-borne viruses. Staff uses this information to establish risk levels in accordance with the protocols in the City of Denton’s Mosquito Surveillance and Response Plan, and each Risk level triggers a specific public communication and mosquito control efforts. Although the program is designed to assess and mitigate the risk from West Nile Virus, staff continues to devote efforts to assessing risks from emerging mosquito borne diseases such as dengue fever, chikungunya virus, and Zika virus.

BACKGROUND: A copy of the City of Denton’s Mosquito Surveillance and Response Plan (MSRP) is provided as an exhibit. The MSRP outlines a systematic approach for tracking mosquito populations and assessing risk. This approach is based on mosquito population dynamics, detection of viruses in captured mosquitoes, and human case information. The MSRP also includes public information, larviciding activities, and procedural issues associated with spraying for adult mosquito control (“adulticiding”). This approach ensures appropriate response levels by combining principles of integrated pest management, data from a comprehensive mosquito monitoring network, and procedural issues associated with a given risk level.

The MSRP includes 5 Risk Levels, with each level indicating progressively greater human health risks from WNV. Each Risk Level is enacted when specific trigger conditions are met. Once enacted, the Risk Level outlines a series of responses that include recommendations for mosquito surveillance, public information and education, and mosquito control measures. Responses increase in scope and magnitude as Risk Levels increase. Although the MSRP is systematic in its approach, it is important to note that the MSRP is only intended to provide a decision-making framework for a complex human health issue involving many interacting factors, including the biology / ecology of mosquitoes, birds, and humans, as well as weather patterns. Flexibility is built into the MSRP to account for these variables / uncertainties.

Risk levels in the current plan are:

Risk Level 1 Normal Response: Probability of human outbreak is remote Risk Level 2 Enhanced Response: Probability of human outbreak is low Risk Level 3 Public Health Concern: Probability of human outbreak is low to moderate Risk Level 4 Public Health Warning: Probability of human outbreak is moderate to high Risk Level 5 Public Health Alert: Human outbreak is confirmed

56 Date: May 3, 2019 Report No. 2019-094

Currently, the mosquito season begins at Risk Level 2. Risk Level 1 is based on the condition of “normal mosquito activity with no evidence of disease during the past 3 years, and it is unlikely that we will see this condition again in the region. Progressively greater levels of public education and outreach, source reduction, and larviciding using Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (BTI) are the main responses for Risk Levels 2 through 4. The Risk Level 3 trigger is a single WNV positive mosquito sample. Risk level 4 is triggered by multiple mosquito samples collected at different times and locations testing positive for WNV, or a single human case of WNV. Risk Level 5 is triggered by more than one human WNV case, and states that the City Council will recommend whether to implement ground level ultra-low volume (ULV) adulticiding as a response. The decision to spray is made by a Resolution of the City Council of Denton prior to the first ULV application, for each mosquito season. Based on information available at the time of the Council decision, the Resolution may also include specific requirements in addition to those outlined in the plan.

Over the last 15 years of monitoring, a single genus of mosquito, Culex, has been responsible for approximately 99 percent of the WNV detected in Denton mosquito samples. A single species of Culex (Culex quinquefasciatus) represents almost all of the WNV positive Culex mosquitoes captured in the City. Although the monitoring program is designed to capture all mosquito species, it emphasizes capturing Culex quinquefasciatus as the “target mosquito”. Monitoring continues approximately weekly through the end of the season, which usually occurs in late October to mid –November. Monitoring is comprised of two components: “routine monitoring” and monitoring for local WNV testing.

All mosquitoes collected during routine monitoring events are shipped to the Texas Department of State Health Services (TDSHS) for species identification and virus screening (which includes WNV, Dengue, Chikungunya, Zika, and several other virus). In 2013, the City of Denton and University of North Texas (UNT) researchers implemented an additional monitoring and testing program using a Rapid Analyte Measurement Platform (RAMP) system. The RAMP system provides more rapid and flexible local West Nile Virus testing capabilities. Although the services provided by the TDSHS are extremely valuable to the overall monitoring program, due to the State’s workload it can take a week or more before virus testing results are finalized and reported. The RAMP approach allows local researchers to produce WNV test results within one day of collection, which is extremely beneficial for quickly adjusting local responses.

In a “normal” season, 16 traps are deployed each week for routine monitoring, and 8 traps are deployed each week to collect mosquitoes for RAMP testing. Trap results are provided as a time series animated map on the City of Denton web page. The City of Denton web page also contains a large amount of additional public information, including the current Risk Level, general information on mosquitoes emphasizing the importance of mosquito control around the home and personal protection, various methods for citizens to receive notifications, FAQs, and the MSRP itself.

Date: May 3, 2019 Report No. 2019-094

At the beginning of each mosquito season, a bilingual “general information” campaign covering mosquito and WNV issues is implemented by the Public Communication Office (PCO). The information focuses on what citizens can do to help control mosquito populations and how citizens can protect themselves and their families. As defined in the MSRP, the PCO performs progressively greater roles as Risk Levels increase. If Risk Level 5 is reached and the City Council authorizes ground based adulticiding activities, the PCO coordinates with Environmental Services, Technology Services, Customer Service, and Emergency Management to perform the crucial functions of informing citizens of the spray event, with the goal of a minimum 24-hour notification. An outline of the PCO’s plan for this mosquito season is provided as an Exhibit.

Information about emerging diseases In recent years, mosquito-borne viruses from other areas of the world have caused outbreaks in the Western Hemisphere. Mosquito-borne viruses that have been restricted to the tropics for the last several decades are also beginning to move northwards, and are concerns for outbreaks in the southern portions of the United States. Chikungunya virus, for example, has become firmly established in the Caribbean, and there have been cases of locally-transmitted Chikungunya virus recently observed in Florida. Dengue is a serious disease of the Americas, Asia and Africa that has become more common in south Texas and the Florida Keys in recent years.

Zika virus has been responsible for outbreaks in tropical areas throughout the world for many years, and was found in the Western Hemisphere in 2015. The progression of this virus has been extensively covered by the media, and the rapid spread of the disease and possibility of transmission from human to human without mosquito vectors is particularly troubling. Normally, Zika virus infection is mild, and only about 1 in 5 people infected with the virus will feel ill. Symptoms are typically mild fever, joint pain, conjunctivitis, and rash. However, recent analyses suggest a link between Zika virus infections in pregnant women and microcephaly, and a possible link between Zika infection and Guillain-Barre syndrome.

The transmission pathways for Zika virus and WNV are quite different, as is the behavior of the major vectors for each disease. Vector borne Zika virus transmission is predominantly spread by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, although Aedes albopictus is also a possible vector. West Nile Virus is a disease that is carried by birds, and is primarily spread between birds and mosquitoes. The main WNV vector, Culex quinquefasciatus, is fairly non-selective for its host, and will feed on both birds and humans. Culex quinquefaciatus also feeds most actively from dusk into the night. Under the right circumstances, the disease can amplify between mosquitoes and birds. Human WNV infections tend to occur when the infection rate is high enough in the mosquito population to “spill over” into humans through non-selective feeding by the infected mosquitoes. Zika virus, however, is a disease that is spread between mosquitoes and humans, and can also be spread from human to human through sexual contact. Aedes aegypti, the predominant vector for Zika, greatly prefers human hosts. Since Aedes mosquitoes also tend to be active throughout the day and into the evening, the likelihood of getting bitten during the daytime is much higher for Aedes compared to Culex. Therefore, although both viruses can be spread by mosquitoes, the source and mode of transmission of the virus is distinctly different. If humans in the infective stage are not present in the population, there will be no opportunity for transmission of Zika

Date: May 3, 2019 Report No. 2019-094

virus to mosquitoes. Likewise, because Zika virus can be spread from person to person through sexual contact, the disease could have a high incidence rate in the human population without having a high incidence rate in mosquitoes. WNV, however, tends to amplify greatly between birds and mosquitoes before it reaches high enough rates of infections in mosquitoes to start spilling over into the human population. Because of this amplification, mosquito surveillance and testing can provide valuable information on WNV risks. However, similar surveillance and testing is currently of limited usefulness for Zika virus risk assessment in the United States due to the differences in mode of transmission and viral amplification outlined above. Although the Center for Disease Control (CDC) does not recommend mosquito testing as a risk prediction tool for Zika Virus surveillance, Denton County has put together a grant funded program to complete limited monitoring that targets Aedes mosquitoes and is specifically designed for assessing the prevalence of Zika virus. The City of Denton is participating in this program. As more information is collected and evaluated, it is possible that the City of Denton Mosquito Surveillance and Response Plan will be modified to address these emerging diseases.

CONCLUSION: This update is being provided for informational purposes. Staff will be glad to provide additional information to the Council upon request.

61 1.0 INTRODUCTION

Mosquitoes are insects that belong to the order Diptera, or True Flies. Female mosquitoes have modified mouthparts that form a long piercing-sucking proboscis, while male mosquitoes have mouthparts that are incapable of piercing skin. There are over 2,500 different species of mosquitoes that have been identified throughout the world, with approximately 150 species occurring in the United States. The Texas Department of Health estimates that there are approximately 82-84 mosquito species in the State of Texas, although only about 12 of these mosquito species have been implicated in the transmission of serious diseases.

Mosquitoes typically need still, stagnant water that is isolated from fish or other small predators to complete their metamorphosis from egg to adult. Larval habitats can range from marshes, freshwater wetlands, and tree holes to human-made structures like catchments, drains, gutters, and discarded tires. Not all species feed on humans and other mammals, and many species feed mostly on birds, amphibians, or reptiles. Only a small percentage of the known mosquito species are considered to be diseases vectors.

Although only a small percentage of mosquito species are capable of transmitting diseases, mosquitoes are still considered to be a very important vector for disease transmission. Within the United States, the occurrences of mosquito-borne illnesses have been relatively rare in recent years. However, epidemics of mosquito-borne diseases were once common in the United States. Outbreaks of Yellow Fever have been recorded as far north as Philadelphia during the Colonial Period, and Dengue fever was prevalent along the Gulf Coast until the mid-1940s. At one time, malaria was well established in the continental United States, especially in the south. Other mosquito- borne illnesses like LaCrosse, St. Louis, and Eastern Equine Encephalitis are still threats in certain areas of the country. Although many of these historical mosquito-borne diseases have been eliminated or at least controlled, the introduction and subsequent rapid spread of West Nile Virus within the United States is a topic of current concern.

Mosquitoes may be controlled through a variety of different physical, chemical, and biological methods. Physical methods usually involve source reduction, which is simply the physical removal of mosquito breeding habitats. Biological measures mainly center on the use of bacteria that kill mosquito larvae or the use of natural mosquito predators. Chemical treatment typically involves the application of pesticides to attempt to control larva or adult mosquito populations.

Mosquito control pesticides are applied by various means, depending on the type and size of the area being treated. No matter how pesticides are applied, however, pesticides have the potential to impact non-target species, including humans. Depending on the pesticides used, potential impacts may include acute or chronic toxicity, reproductive and / or developmental effects, and indirect effects through the food chain. The tests required for pesticides registration also may not address non-target impacts. Information regarding the effects of inert ingredients in pesticide formulations, food chain effects, multi-generational effects, and the interaction of specific pesticides with

1 62 other chemicals in the environment may also be lacking. It is therefore important to realize that there are risks associated with the use of pesticides just as there are risks associated with the potential for human or animal infection by a mosquito-borne illness. The purpose of this response plan is to provide a systematic way to consider and balance the risks associated with mosquito control measures.

2.0 Objectives

The City of Denton Mosquito Surveillance and Response Plan was developed to meet several objectives. Specifically, the Plan:

 Provides guidelines and information on mosquito populations, prevalence of diseases, and control strategies;  Provides a systematic approach for using mosquito sampling and human disease data to establish Risk Levels;  Establishes actions that will be undertaken for each Risk Level;  Provides municipal staff and elected officials with a decision-support system;  Outlines the roles and responsibilities of municipal staff and elected officials.

3.0 West Nile Virus (WNV) Concerns

West Nile Virus was first recorded in North American during August 1999 shortly following the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the New York City Department of Health responses to an unusual outbreak of encephalitis in northern Queens, New York. The cause of the observed illnesses was determined to be West Nile virus. During 1999, approximately sixty people were diagnosed with West Nile virus and seven elderly residents died from the infection. During the summer of 2000, WNV activity was detected again in New York City and appeared to be spreading. Fourteen people in the City of New York were diagnosed with acute WNV infection, six were identified in New Jersey, and 1 was reported from Connecticut. Outside of New York, WNV was detected in 12 states and in the District of Columbia. During 2001, the virus appeared again in New York City, causing seven cases that required hospitalization. In 2001, a total of 66 human cases with nine fatalities were reported throughout the nation, mostly spread throughout the eastern United States. During 2002, there were 4,156 laboratory-positive human cases and 284 deaths. The number of cases increased dramatically in 2003 as the disease spread westward, with 9,862 cases and 264 deaths. After 2003, annual national case counts have ranged from a low of 712 during 2011 to a high of 5,674 in 2012. In 2012, the highest incident rates in the nation were observed in the North Texas region, including Denton County. Fortunately, subsequent seasons have been relatively mild when compared to 2012.

The relatively rapid spread of West Nile virus and the increase in disease incidence indicates that WNV is permanently established in the United States. It is likely that the virus survives the winter either within birds that remain in the area or within mosquitoes that survive the winter. When spring returns, the virus can amplify within birds and is readily passed to early season mosquitoes. As mosquito populations increase,

2 63 mosquitoes begin to feed more frequently on birds, causing an increasing number of birds and mosquitoes that are infected. If environmental conditions are favorable for transmission, the virus will amplify to a theoretical point of spillover. At spillover, the virus can bridge out of the bird-mosquito cycle through mosquitoes that feed on birds, humans, and other animals. At the point of spillover, transmission to humans becomes more likely. Currently, mosquito bite avoidance and mosquito control are the only practical method of protecting the human population from WNV infection. There are no known specific treatments or cures for the disease, and vaccines are currently not available for public use. The virus also kills a variety of native and non-native birds, and may have impacts on other wildlife.

Weather plays a major role in the prevalence of WNV, and the relatively warm winter and spring experienced in North Texas during 2011 to 2012 may have been a significant factor in the large amount of disease present during the 2012 mosquito season. Understanding the types of mosquitoes in the area that transmit the disease is also a crucial consideration for directing control responses and public education activities. Since not all mosquitoes carry the virus, enacting mosquito control efforts that attempt to non-selectively reduce all mosquito populations will not necessarily reduce the risk of WNV. In fact, based on 15 years of mosquito monitoring and disease analyses in the City of Denton, there appears to be only one mosquito that serves as a vector for this disease. Approximately 94 percent of the WNV infected mosquitoes captured in Denton’s monitoring program over the last 15 years have been Culex quinquefasciatus, commonly known as the southern house mosquito. Approximately 99% of the mosquitoes that have tested positive for WNV during the last 15 years of monitoring have been some type of Culex species. Control efforts enacted by the City are therefore focused on Culex species, and are particularly focused on Culex quinquefasciatus.

The past experience of numerous mosquito control districts suggests that a mosquito control program should be based on the principals of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). The principals of IPM are:

 knowledge of mosquito biology and the epidemiology of the mosquito-borne diseases;  surveillance and monitoring efforts for the detection and status assessment of mosquito populations and / or mosquito-borne diseases;  a multifaceted prevention and control program comprised of a system of control tactics which are compatible with each other and which are proven effective;  continue program evaluations and updates to ensure that the best methods are being used to meet the prevention and control objectives of the program; and  continue education of the public to create awareness, understanding, and support.

These general guidelines have been used to develop the threshold-level responses of this surveillance and response plan.

4.0 The Role of Residents

Residents can play an important role in reducing the number of adult mosquitoes by eliminating standing water that may support the development of mosquito larva and pupa. For example, residents can properly dispose of discarded tires, cans, buckets, maintain pools correctly, unclog blocked gutters and drains, dump water from bird baths and pet dishes at least every 2-3 days, ensure that air conditioning condensate is not pooling for several days, control irrigation so that standing water is not produced, irrigate so that runoff is not produced, and perform similar activities around homes and businesses. Water that cannot be eliminated should be treated with a biological mosquito larvicide such as Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations.

Residents should be aware that Culex quinquefasciatus, the target mosquito for control, tends to prefer to lay its eggs in “artificial” sources of water such as those listed above, as opposed to laying eggs in wetland areas, streams, and ponds. Generally, this mosquito cannot fly long distances, so emerging adult mosquitoes often remain near the habitat they lived in as larva and pupa. Adults will rest during the daytime in vegetation, particularly in areas where humidity is high. Irrigated urban and suburban landscapes can offer excellent habitat, especially if there is standing water present. Underground storm drains that receive small amounts of runoff from irrigation are also good habitat for these mosquitoes. As a result, Culex quinquefasciatus tends to become more associated with urban and suburban areas during the summer months. Often these same areas will also have birth baths, bird feeders, trees, and other vegetation that serve to attract birds, especially during the drier times of the year when food and water become scarce. As a result, the opportunities for WNV disease amplification in urban and suburban areas can become more pronounced during summer months. The role of residents and business owners in controlling larval habitat is therefore a crucial component of reducing local WNV risk.

5.0 Denton’s Plan for Mosquito Surveillance

The risk of mosquito-borne diseases depends on the size of mosquito populations and the incidence rate of disease, as well as the likelihood of the mosquito population changing in response to climate factors. Although mosquito abundance can be estimated through collection of either immature or adult mosquitoes, adult mosquito abundance is a key factor contributing to the risk of virus transmission. For this reason, the City of Denton monitoring program primarily focuses on collecting adult mosquito populations for targeting control measures and gauging the potential for disease outbreak. The current mosquito surveillance program is a partnership between the City of Denton and the University of North Texas. This surveillance program collects adult mosquitoes through the use of both CDC light traps and gravid traps. Captured mosquitoes are sent to the Texas Department of State Health Services for testing. Each sample (sometime referred to as a “pool”) consists of female mosquitoes that are collected at a specific collection

4 65 site, in one of the two types of trap. The information obtained from these surveillance efforts is used to map mosquito populations, provide public information, and to determine the incidence of WNV or other arbovirus.

The mosquito surveillance program allows analysts to map potential mosquito breeding grounds and areas of persistent disease. Using this information, more targeted efforts towards habitat disruption, source reduction, larviciding operations, and other control mechanisms are possible. An effective, broadly applied surveillance program can allow analysts to detect the presence of WNV of other mosquito-borne viruses during the amplification phase. If targeted mosquito controls are implemented at the amplification stage, the likelihood of bridging can be minimized, thus reducing the risk of human transmission. Depending on weather patterns and monitoring results, trapping can be expanded or contracted and the trapping season may be lengthened or shortened. If control measures are applied, trapping data may also be of some use for evaluating the effectiveness of control measures.

The overall goal of the mosquito surveillance program is to use data on mosquito populations and mosquito virus infections rates to:

 assess the threat of human disease;  determine the geographical areas of highest risk;  determine the need for intervention events, and the timing of these events;  identify larval habitats that are in need of targeted control;  monitor the effectiveness of control measures; and  develop a better understanding of transmission cycles and potential vector species.

Adult surveillance methods should:

 Use both fixed and flexible trap locations if possible o Fixed positions allow for the development of a database so year to year comparisons are possible; o Flexible sites allow for responses to epidemiological and natural events.  Use more than one trapping method (CDC light traps, gravid traps, etc...) o Testing data collected in the City of Denton’s monitoring program suggests that if resource limitations require a choice between CDC light traps or gravid traps, gravid traps are preferred. These traps have been more effective in collecting Culex quinquefasciatus, and more effective for establishing the prevalence of WNV.  Account for different influencing factors, including: o Habitat size and diversity; o Resource availability; o Proximity to human population centers and / or recreational areas; and o Flight ranges of target mosquito vector(s).

Advantages of using adult mosquito surveys include:

5 66  The ability to provide early evidence of viral activity in an area;  Helpful for determining if viral activity is local and / or restricted to a few areas;  Providing information on potential mosquito vector species  Providing estimates of vector species abundance and temporal prevalence;  Providing information on virus infection rates for different mosquito species;  Providing information on potential risks to humans and animals;  Providing baseline data that can be used to guide emergency controls.

Disadvantages of using adult mosquito surveys include:

 The amount of labor required, and associated expenses;  The need for substantial expertise to ensure proper collection and handling of mosquitoes;  The delays associated with receiving mosquito arbovirus screening results;  The fact that collectors may be at risk from mosquito bites (although using personal protection methods can minimize risks).

5.1 Adult mosquito collection

The adult mosquito surveys implemented by the City of Denton in conjunction with the University of North Texas are designed to determine the relative abundance of various species present during the sampling period as well as the incidence of arthropod-borne virus/diseases within the captured specimens. Using this information, City of Denton personnel determines the need for various control measures, and can conduct more effective searches for larval breeding places, assess the extent of the problem, and potentially gauge the effectiveness of control measures. Reports concerning the incidence rates of arthropod-borne virus/diseases and the relative risks to citizens are also produced. Currently, collections are made using both CDC light traps and gravid traps deployed simultaneously.

6.0 Mosquito Control Strategies

Human activities can greatly affect the ecology of mosquito populations. Large concentrations of people or animals, for example, can increase exposure rates and the probability of disease outbreak. The use of irrigation, development of drainage networks, elimination of mosquito predators, prevalence of improperly maintained birdbaths and other water holding containers can increase the numbers of certain types of mosquitoes. Expanding international trade and travel has increased the chance of introducing new mosquito species into our areas, as has happened with the Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus). The introduction of new diseases is also a concern, as has been seen recently with both Chikungunya and Zika viruses.

Mosquito control strategies have changed dramatically over the last few decades. Diesel oil, inorganic poisons, and source reduction using ditching operations were the basic tools of early mosquito control programs. Chlorinated hydrocarbons, organophosphates,

6 67 pyrethroids, monomolecular oils, bacteria, and natural predators are more recent additions to mosquito control efforts. With the growth of ecological consciousness and environmental science, people began to realize the environmental damage that accompanied the use of broad-spectrum chemical control agents, particularly those that did not readily break down in nature. Concerns were also raised because many mosquito populations also appeared to develop resistance to the more commonly used chemical control agents.

Over the past few years, major advances have been made in the areas of biological mosquito control. Biological control strategies may include using natural predators like Gambusia affinis (Mosquito fish), fungi, protozoans, round worms, flat worms, and bacterial agents such as Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti). Each biological control agent has certain benefits and restrictions. In order to use a biological control agent successfully, the applicator must have a basic knowledge of biology associated with the control agent. Some biological control mechanisms, for example, are limited by salinity, temperature, or organic pollution and some mosquito species are much more susceptible to specific types of biological control agents. All of these factors must be considered when choosing and applying biological control agents.

The perfect pesticide is one that is easily applied, reasonably inexpensive, not toxic to non-target organisms, and that eliminates the pest quickly before it becomes a threat. Although no single pesticide can combine all of these factors, certain types of Bacillus bacteria have been developed into pesticides that are very close to the perfect pesticide model. Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti), for example, is a naturally occurring soil bacterium that produces a poison capable of killing mosquito larvae. Bti is considered ideal for mosquito management because of its specificity for mosquito larvae and because of the minimal to no toxicity to non-target organisms. These bacteria form reproductive cells, called endospores, which enable them to survive in adverse conditions. The endospores of Bti also contain crystals of an insecticidal protein toxin called delta endotoxin. Once ingested by a mosquito, the alkaline conditions of the stomach dissolve the crystal and release the delta-endotoxin. The toxin has an affinity for the stomach wall lining causing the cells to first swell then rupture. When enough stomach cells burst, the mosquito larvae is unable to effectively digest food. Once affected, larvae stop eating and rapidly die. Currently, Bti is commercially available in powder, liquid, granular, capsule, and “briquette” formulations.

Agencies applying pesticides directly to waters of the United States, or where deposition may enter waters of the United States, are required to obtain a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). This permit is titled “General Permit to Authorize Point Source Discharge of Biological Pesticides and Chemical Pesticides That Leave a Residue in Water”. Agencies must comply with all applicable provisions of this permit (see TCEQ General Permit TXG87000). The City of Denton complies with all requirements necessary to maintain the City’s permit under TXG87000.

7 68 6.1 Larviciding vs. Adulticiding

In the past, many mosquito control programs have relied heavily upon adult mosquito controls using chemical agents. In certain areas, routine mosquito spraying has been an integral component of control strategies. However, even near-continuous exposures to pesticides may not kill all mosquitoes. Those mosquitoes genetically able to resist higher pesticide concentrations may survive and pass on this resistance to future generations. Eventually, the pesticide becomes less effective as resistance increases in the mosquito populations.

Resistance can be minimized through the "Management by Moderation" approach. Management by moderation is an attempt to prevent the onset of resistance by:

 using doses that are no lower than the lowest recommended application rate to avoid genetic selection of resistance genes;  using less frequent applications;  using chemicals of short environmental persistence;  avoiding the use of slow release formulations;  avoiding using the same class of pesticides to control both adults and immature stages;  applying pesticides to only hot spots. Area-wide treatments should only be considered during imminent public health threats;  leaving certain generations, populations, or population segments untreated; and  establishing action thresholds that accentuate control mechanisms other than chemical control of adult mosquitoes.

Although management by moderation is a viable means of minimizing resistance, there are other environmental and human health concerns associated with the application of pesticides for adult mosquito control. Routine mosquito spraying, for example, has the potential to expose the public to pesticides. Depending upon the pesticide used, effects on humans are possible and may be more likely for people who already suffer from asthma or other respiratory problems. If proper safety precautions are not followed, applicator personnel may also be in danger of overexposure. Managers must therefore decide whether mosquito populations and the related threat of disease transmission or the chemicals used to control mosquitoes represent the bigger threat to humans.

All mosquitoes begin their lives in water. Prime breeding sites include discarded tires left outdoors, poorly maintained bird baths, clogged rain gutters, unused swimming pools and plastic wading pools, pet dishes, or any other container capable of holding water for more than a few days. Mosquito breeding can therefore be prevented by either eliminating the source of water (source reduction) or by killing larvae (larviciding). Larviciding programs use a combination of source reduction, biological, and possibly chemical measures to control mosquito larvae before they develop into biting adults. If properly implemented, this strategy can be the most effective, economical and safest method for mosquito control because mosquito larvae are minimized, thus reducing the need for adult mosquito control and subsequently reducing the impacts of control

8 69 measures on non-target organisms. Larviciding programs also offer the opportunity to use biological controls, which minimizes the impacts of the control program on non- target organisms and lessens the risk of chemical exposures to the public. Using biological controls also minimizes the chance of pesticide resistance in the mosquito populations. Experience suggests that the most effective and economical way to reduce mosquito populations is by larval source reduction through a locally funded abatement program. The goal of this program should be to monitor mosquito populations and initiate controls before diseases are transmitted to humans or domestic animals (CDC, 2001).

When larval control is not possible or more immediate control measures are needed, adult mosquito control may be required to diminish populations of infected mosquitoes and interrupt viral transmission. Adult mosquito control products may be applied using ground based equipment, fixed wing aircraft, or helicopters. In all cases, products should be applied in ultralow volume (ULV) formulations and doses, and should be comprised of pyrethroids.

6.2 Rationale for different treatment methods

Chemical usage should not be viewed as a long-term control strategy, and should be only implemented when there are occasional episodes of heavy uncontrolled breeding concurrent with a high degree of public health risk. This strategy is most appropriate because prolonged use might lead to the development of resistance in mosquito populations, thereby limiting overall management options (Tabashnik, 1990). The most efficient and effective program is one in which mosquito larvae are prevented from becoming biting adults through the use of biological control agents. The bacterium Bti or the related bacterium Bacillus sphaericus (Bs.) are considered to be the among the most environmentally acceptable commercially available biological control agents because of their relative specificity for mosquitoes and negligible toxicity for vertebrates (Rishikesh et al., 1983). Larvivorous fish can also be a valuable component of an integrated control program, either alone or together with chemical control agents (Walton et al., 1990; Walton and Mulla, 1991; Reed et al., 1995). For these reasons, the City of Denton relies heavily on source reduction and larviciding for mosquito control.

6.3 Integrated Pest Management

Integrated pest management dictates that control efforts should be dependent on threshold levels. This means simply that a certain defined risk needs to exist before particular control measures are recommended. Levels of risk are based on knowledge of mosquito biology, the epidemiology of the mosquito-borne diseases, and monitoring efforts for the status assessment of mosquitoes and / or mosquito-borne diseases. Risks levels are then used to design multi-tactic prevention and control program that are comprised of a system of tactics which are compatible with each other and which are proven for their

9 70 effectiveness. Continual program evaluations and updates ensure that the best methods are being used to meet the prevention and control objectives of the program, and continued public education is used to create awareness, understanding, and support. Frequent mosquito population assessments allow analysts to map potential mosquito breeding grounds and determine overall disease transmission risks. Using this information, more targeted efforts towards habitat disruption, source reduction, larviciding operations, and other control mechanisms are possible.

7.0 Denton's Plan for Mosquito Control

The primary objective of mosquito control is to decrease the risk of mosquito-borne human diseases. This objective should be accomplished by:

 Stressing source reduction as a viable means of control, both by residents and on municipal properties, including enforcement actions for stagnant water located on private property;  Aggressively larviciding where such activities are feasible, practical, and likely to be effective. This includes providing limited supplies of larvicides to citizens for use on private property.  Promoting the use of personal mosquito protection measures, especially for the elderly and those individuals with compromised immune systems, through public education and outreach.  Providing public information so that citizens are informed about the current Risk Level, areas of the City where WNV has been located, current municipal control measures, and what can be done by the public to help reduce risks.  If warranted, implement adult mosquito control measures through targeted ULV pesticide applications (adulticiding).

7.1 Adulticiding

Adulticiding should and will be considered a supplemental control measure. The decision to spray shall be based on the conditions listed (in no particular order) below.

7.1.1 Triggers for adulticides: Adulticiding shall be considered only when there is evidence of WNV activity at a level suggesting a high probability of human infection. In general, finding an isolated WNV-positive mosquito pool does not by itself constitute evidence of an imminent threat to human health and does not warrant adulticiding.

Physicians and laboratories are required by Title 25 of the Texas Administrative Code (Pt. 1, Ch. 97, Subch A, §97.3) to report cases of WNV infection or positive test results in humans to the State and County Health Departments. Positive human WNV cases are investigated by Health Department officials. During an investigation, the Health Department collects demographic and clinical information from the patient and attempts to determine date of onset, whether the infection was acquired locally or from a region outside of the patient’s residence, and whether the infection may have been acquired by a

10 71 non-mosquito route of transmission such as a blood transfusion or organ transplant. To help aid control measures, the Health Department provides some of this information to municipal officials within the municipality where the patient resides. Human case information is used by municipal officials as one of the trigger conditions for the risk levels outlined in this plan

7.1.2 When to use adulticides: The goal of spraying is to reduce the risk of human diseases by decreasing the number of target adult mosquitoes as much as possible. However, today’s pesticides tend to only be effective when physically contacting the mosquito, which is most likely to happen when mosquitoes are actively flying. This typically will mean that spraying should be conducted between dusk and dawn. Since the target mosquito, Culex quinquefasciatus, is thought to be most active soon after dusk, spraying should be timed to strike the best balance between impacting the target mosquito during its most active time and minimizing impacts on non-target organisms. It is also important to realize that weather conditions, including air temperature and wind speed, have a large influence on the effectiveness of adulticides. Spray events should be cancelled and rescheduled if conditions are not conducive for effective spraying.

7.1.3 Where to use adulticides: The terrain of the proposed spraying area has a major impact on the pesticide effectiveness. If there is substantial vegetation, dense shrubbery, trees, or hedges, pesticide applications can be rendered ineffective. The density of houses and other physical obstructions can also influence the effectiveness of pesticides. Applications should be made so that the maximum penetration into these types of obstructions is achieved. In some cases, a mild breeze may be able to help distribute the pesticide. Application strategies should consider the meteorological conditions at the time of application, and use these conditions to help improve application effectiveness if possible.

7.1.4 Human population density considerations: The human population density in an area where there is evidence of intense epizootic activity should also be considered. If the area in question is rural and does not contain many people, the cost and potential risk associated with spraying may not justify its use. If the area in question is densely populated, adult mosquito control may be more justified as long as adequate precautionary measures are taken.

7.1.5 Mosquito population considerations: Information from mosquito surveillance can be helpful in determining when to conduct mosquito control and to assess the effectiveness of control measures. It is also important to know the numbers and species of the vector populations in specific localities. The best way to obtain this information is through mosquito trapping efforts. The City of Denton formed a partnership with the University of North Texas to provide the specially trained staff needed for systematic mosquito trapping efforts.

While trapping efforts are crucial for assessing mosquito populations and the prevalence of disease, it is important to realize that surveillance specimens requires some processing time after collection. In the time between the collection date and the date of test results,

11 72 circumstances may have occurred which would alter a decision to spray. For example, weather conditions may have adversely affected mosquito populations, local mosquito habitats may have been altered, or larviciding efforts may have reduced the number of newly emerged adults. All of these occurrences may result in a reduced need to spray, and should be taken into consideration during control efforts.

Surveillance information should also be evaluated through time to determine the progress of diseases and the relative risk of disease transmission. Surveillance information may also be of some use in gauging the effectiveness of control measures, although establishing control effectiveness is difficult using only surveillance information. In all cases, the available surveillance information should be evaluated as a part of the decision making process for enacting adulticidal activities.

7.1.6 Local perspectives on spraying: Different communities have different perspectives on the benefits and risks associated with adulticiding activities. While these perspectives are valid and should be considered, individuals are likely to have strong opinions on either side of the issue. The City of Denton has incorporated a rationale framework within the mosquito control program that is designed to be protective of both human health and the environment. The decision to spray, however, is a complex issue that will likely be faced without complete information. Thus, there will be citizens that do not believe that the City of Denton has done a good job with regards to reducing public health and environmental risks, regardless of the decision. The mosquito control program should therefore remain flexible and should attempt to address citizen complaints through public education and dialogue.

7.1.7 Denton's plan for mosquito adulticiding operations

Once arbovirus activity is detected and the decision is made to implement mosquito control using adulticides, the size of the area to treat must be determined. Unfortunately, there is no simple formula for determining how large of an area to treat, nor is there adequate information to guide decisions about the degree of vector population suppression that must be attained, or for how long this suppression must be maintained to reduce the risk of disease. The CDC (2001) suggests considering the following factors where deciding the scope of the adulticiding effort:

 the general ecology of the area;  the flight range of vectors that are known or are believed to be of importance in the area;  the population density of the vectors;  the length of time since virus-positive mosquito pools were collected;  the potential risk to the human population (including the age demographics of the area) as well as the community perception of the relative risk of pesticides versus the risk of arbovirus infection; and  the season of the year - how much time the transmission risk can be expected to persist until the vectors enter diapause;

12 73 It is very likely that some of these factors will be unknown or poorly known, and practical experience in conducting a mosquito control program is needed to refine control recommendations. If adulticiding operations are conducted, the following parameters should be monitored:

 Weather conditions during the application (temperature, wind speed, wind direction, etc...);  Flow rate of Ultra-Low Volume applications; and  Overall amount of pesticide applied.

If the application of adulticides is deemed necessary, the public must be informed. The following actions / activities will take place prior to adulticide applications:

 Information, including a map of the proposed spray area, will be released 24 hours in advance through the media and through the city of Denton web site. Under certain conditions in Public Park areas, applications may take place in less than 24 hours notice. For these cases, the facility will be closed to the public during, and a few hours after, application.  Press releases should be prepared and shared with the appropriate media  CodeRed, the Customer Service automated calling systems, and available forms of social media should be used to inform citizens of spray events. CodeRed will make an automated phone call with a message to all individuals that have signed up for the service. The Customer Service automated calling system will make an automated phone call with a message to all individuals within an area designed by the spray map. For both systems, it is possible that some residents outside of the spray area will receive one of these calls. However, these systems are the most rapid and accurate means of notifying the public of upcoming spray events.  If practical, street signs indicating that spraying will occur in the neighborhood should be placed at major roadways entering and exiting the targeted area.

7.2 Plan for Public Education Concerning Mosquitoes

Public education is a key component of a successful mosquito control program. Since the appearance of the West Nile Virus in the United States, the City of Denton has produced and aired many public service announcements, given numerous presentations, and provides information on the City web page concerning this disease. Depending somewhat on Risk level, the following key information will be conveyed to the public:

 The location of WNV positive mosquito trap locations and current risk level;  Comprehensive prevention strategies and activities used by the City of Denton to address the threat of West Nile Virus;  The public will be advised to eliminate standing water sites by removing all materials that can hold water for longer than 2-3 days; and

13 74  The public will be informed about the symptoms of West Nile Virus (headache, high fever, muscle pain, weakness, and disorientation).

Techniques used to disseminate information may include any or all of the following:

 Televised public service announcements using Denton's local cable channel;  Radio announcements;  Brochures for public use placed in municipal buildings;  Postings describing the current risk level placed in municipal buildings;  Brochures and / or fact sheets to be distributed to community-based organizations, community boards, elected officials, schools, nursing homes, libraries, outdoor activity sites, etc.;  Presentations to elected officials and / or community groups concerning the current risk level, mosquito population and disease status, and mosquito control activities; and  Press releases describing West Nile virus response activities.

7.3 City of Denton Response Plan

The purpose of this response plan is to:

1. Minimize human illness through public education and targeted vector control. 2. Provide an assessment of virus transmission risk to humans that can be used to plan and adjust control activities. 3. Map the density of mosquitoes and the incidence of the virus within the City of Denton. 4. Identify areas where the incidence of disease is high and provide appropriate warnings to the citizens of Denton. 5. Identify the key vector species that carry diseases within Denton.

The prevention of West Nile virus, as with many diseases, is most efficiently accomplished by ensuring that prompt, accurate information reaches the public. If the appropriate information reaches the public in a timely manner, personal protective measures may be implemented, and control strategies can be enacted efficiently.

The City of Denton will provide continuous information on the city web page concerning West Nile virus, including a frequently asked questions (FAQs) section, disease symptoms, personal preventative measures, and sources of additional information. If a sampled mosquito pool tests positive for arthropod-borne virus/diseases, information describing the location of the sampling event, the date, and other pertinent information will be provided.

14 75 This response plan is partially based on Texas Department of Health recommendations. The plan is divided into 5 levels based on the risk of human disease. Each risk level is described below, along with specific recommended responses. In accordance with the principals of Integrated Pest Management Control measures are recommended for each level.

Generally, there are 4 surveillance / observational factors that are evaluated to determine if the trigger condition has been met for a particular risk level. These factors are:

1. Environmental / climatic conditions (mainly temperature, rainfall, and season) 2. Adult Culex quinquefasciatus abundance 3. Virus infection rates in Culex quinquefasciatus and other mosquito vectors 4 Confirmed infections in humans, including epidemiological information.

7.3.1 Risk level 1 - Normal Response

Condition: Probability of human outbreak is none or remote Trigger: Normal mosquito activity with no evidence of arthropod-borne virus/disease detected during the past 3 years in vectors, humans, or other hosts.

Recommended Response:

Surveillance: Surveillance is optional. Under the normal response, mosquitoes are considered to be only a nuisance without significant influences on public health. Complaint calls and informal surveys of larva and adults will be used to direct mosquito control efforts.

Public Information / Education: Publicize methods for mosquito reduction and personal protection prior to the main season for mosquito activity and outdoor human activities.

Control Measures Use public information to promote source reduction and personal protection. Conduct standard larviciding approaches using Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) .

Rationale: Larviciding and source reduction / elimination are considered to be the most effective long-term solutions for mosquito control. The control measures are designed to accomplish mosquito control by preventing larval mosquitoes from becoming biting adults.

15 76 7.3.2 Risk Level 2 - Enhanced Response

Condition: Probability of human outbreak is low Trigger: Normal mosquito activity with little or no evidence of arthropod-borne virus/disease. Enhanced response level is due to recent historical presence of arthropod-borne virus/disease in vectors, humans, or other hosts within the vicinity of Denton (approximately 100 miles).

Recommended Response:

Surveillance: Surveillance is optional, but strongly encouraged. If possible, conduct routine surveillance of adult mosquito populations using light traps baited with CO2 and gravid traps (at minimum). Collected mosquito species should be identified to species level and mosquito pools should be screened for the presence of arboviruses. If positive tests are obtained during arthropod-borne virus/disease screening, additional tests should be performed to determine what type of arbovirus is present.

Public Information / Education: Implement all steps for public information established by the Public Communication Office for this Risk Level. Generally, this will reflect routine public information concerning methods for mosquito reduction and the importance of personal protection measures. This information should be disseminated at the beginning of the mosquito season.

Control Measures Use public information to promote source reduction and personal protection. Conduct standard larviciding approaches using Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti).

16 77 7.3.3 Risk Level 3 - Public Health Concern

Condition: Probability of human outbreak is low to moderate Trigger: Arthropod-borne virus/disease isolated from mosquitoes collected during trapping activities at a single monitoring site.

Recommended Response:

Surveillance: Continue to conduct routine surveillance of mosquito populations. If resources allow, increase surveillance in the area where the positive sample was collected. Use geographic information systems to plot the location of the positive sample and provide this information to the public via the City of Denton web page.

Public Information / Education:

Implement all steps for public information established by the Public Communication Office for this Risk Level, which includes public notification, press releases, and City of Denton web page updates with a map of the positive trap location. Notify medical professionals, veterinarians, and all those registered with the City of Denton’s various public notification options of the presence of the disease.

Control Measures

Use public information to promote source reduction and personal protection. Conduct enhanced larviciding using Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti). Increase efforts in areas where positive mosquito pools were detected. Control measures will be implemented based on the following IPM criteria: time of year, the extent of previous mosquito control activities, the current level of mosquito activity, weather conditions, and surveillance results.

Prepare for ground level spraying activities using ULV applications of pyrethriods. Ensure adequate funding and personnel are in place for conducting ULV applications.

Rationale: Larviciding and source reduction / elimination are considered to be the most effective long-term solution for mosquito control. Increasing these measures in areas where positive mosquito pools are detected offers an additional degree of risk reduction.

17 78 7.3.4 Risk Level 4 - Public Health Warning

Condition: Probability of human outbreak is moderate to high Trigger: Multiple mosquito pools collected at different times and locations test positive for arthropod-borne virus/diseases. Single human case confirmed with laboratory testing

Recommended Response:

Surveillance: Continue to conduct routine surveillance of mosquito populations. Increase surveillance in areas where WNV positive samples have been collected if resources are available. Use geographic information systems to plot the location of positive mosquito samples and provide this information to the public via the City of Denton web page.

Public Information / Education:  Implement all steps for public information established by the Public Communication Office for this Risk Level, which includes public notification, press releases, and City of Denton web page updates with a map of the WNV positive trap location(s).  Update web page map for all subsequent WNV positive trap locations  Notify medical professionals, veterinarians, public health officials, and all those registered with the City of Denton’s various public notification options of the presence of the disease.

Control Measures Use public information to promote source reduction and personal protection. Intensify enhanced larviciding efforts using Bti in targeted areas. Consider using Spinosad products in areas where positive mosquito pools were detected, if applicable. Control measures will be implemented based on the following IPM criteria: time of year, the extent of previous mosquito control activities, the current level of mosquito activity, weather conditions, and surveillance results.

Finalize all actions needed for implementing ground level spraying activities using ULV applications of pyrethroids

18 79 7.3.5 Risk Level 5 - Public Health Alert

Condition: Human outbreak is confirmed Trigger: Multiple human cases. Cases must be confirmed by laboratory testing.

Recommended Response: Surveillance: Continue to conduct routine surveillance of mosquito populations. If resources allow, increase surveillance in areas were arthropod-borne virus/disease positive samples were collected. Use geographic information systems to plot the location of WNV positive mosquito samples, and provide this information to the public.

Public Information/Education:  Implement all steps for public information established by the Public Communication Office for this Risk Level, which includes public notification, press releases, and City of Denton web page updates with a map of the WNV positive trap location(s).  Update web page map for all subsequent WNV positive trap locations  Notify medical professionals, veterinarians, public health officials, and all those registered with the City of Denton’s various public notification options of the presence of the disease.  Increase public education, emphasizing source reduction, personal protection, and disease symptoms.

Control Measures: Use public information to promote source reduction and personal protection. Intensify larviciding efforts using Bti in targeted areas. Additional larvicides containing IGRs or pesticides such as Spinosad may be applied at this time. Intensely treat standing water in City Parks. If the threat to human health is considered imminent, consider targeted adulticide applications using ground-based Ultra-Low Volume (ULV) equipment. The decision to spray will be made by a Resolution of the City Council of Denton prior to the first application, for each mosquito season. Based on information available at the time of the Council decision, the Resolution may include specific requirements in addition those outlined in this plan. ULV applications should be implemented in the vicinity (approximately 1 mile) of areas where positive human cases were detected. When ULV applications are initiated, notification will be provided to the public as outlined in Section 7.1.

During 2012, the City of Denton utilized Duet, a synthetic pyrethroid product with an additional chemical designed to induce “benign agitation” of mosquitoes. The purpose of benign agitation is to increase the likelihood of mosquitoes flying during the application, which increases application effectiveness. The Duet product is also mineral oil based, versus water based, which likely increases the compound’s effectiveness in the

19 80 higher air temperatures typical during summer applications. Mineral oil based compounds may also be less likely to affect non-target organisms in aquatic environments because of the lack of solubility of the oil based compound in water.

Control measures will be implemented based on the following IPM criteria: time of year, the extent of previous mosquito control activities, the current level of mosquito activity, weather conditions, the species of mosquitoes that test positive for disease, the number of local mosquito pools which test positively for disease, the likely time until a killing frost, the density of roads or other access to mosquito breeding grounds, and the density of human populations. Epidemiological data associated with reported human cases of WNV will also be considered. In general, if an area has been sprayed, that area will not be sprayed again in response to an additional human case unless the date of onset of the new case indicates exposure occurred after the previous spraying event. Areas will also not be sprayed in response to a reported human case if epidemiological information clearly indicates that exposure did not occur in the City of Denton. If public health emergencies are declared at the county or state level, the recommended responses associated with the declaration will take precedence over the control plan of the City of Denton.

Rationale: Larviciding and source reduction/elimination are considered to be the most effective long-term solutions for mosquito control. Increasing these measures in areas where positive mosquito pools are detected offers an additional degree of risk reduction. However, at this Risk Level, applications of adulticides may be needed to rapidly reduce mosquito populations and halt disease transmission. The objective is to kill a high enough proportion of older adult mosquitoes to break the disease transmission cycle. If adult mosquito controls are implemented, the approaches for adulticiding outlined in this plan are effective and are designed to minimize adverse effects to the environment and non- target organisms.

8.0 Emerging Diseases

In recent years, mosquito-borne viruses from other areas of the world have caused outbreaks in the Western Hemisphere. In addition, mosquito-borne viruses that have been restricted to the tropics for the last several decades are beginning to move northwards, and could cause concerns for outbreaks in the southern portions of the United States. Chikungunya virus, for example, has become firmly established in the Caribbean, and two cases of locally-transmitted Chikungunya virus were observed in Florida in 2014. Dengue is a serious arboviral disease of the Americas, Asia and Africa that has become more common in south Texas and the Florida Keys in recent years.

Zika virus has been responsible for outbreaks in tropical areas throughout the world, and was found in 2015 for the first time in the Western Hemisphere. The rapid spread of this disease and the possibility of transmission from human to human without mosquito vectors is particularly troubling. To date, local transmission of Zika virus in Texas has

20 81 only been documented in Brownsville. However, the City of Denton has experienced human cases of Zika virus, and has developed a response protocol in coordination with the Denton County Public Health Department to ensure that appropriate measures are taken to minimize the likelihood of transmission of the virus from the infected person to local mosquito populations. The City of Denton also documented two cases of California Seropositive viruses (a group of viruses, some of which can cause human disease) in mosquito samples collected in 2016. These samples were later confirmed to be trivittatus virus. While all mammals including humans are capable of contracting trivittatus virus from the bite of an infected mosquito, this disease is predominately found in wildlife, and human cases are extremely rare. It is important to note that both Zika and trivitattus virus are spread by only a few species of mosquito, and control measures must be specifically targeted to these species. In response to these emerging concerns, City of Denton staff continues to work with local and State public health personnel to assess the risk of disease and coordinate responses. Currently, emerging disease responses are documented within Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that are reviewed with local health officials and mosquito control experts on a regular basis. Modifications to the SOPs are possible more research is conducted on control strategies and risk minimization measures. As more information is collected and evaluated, it is likely that the City of Denton Mosquito Surveillance and Response Plan will be modified in the future to add information specific to these emerging diseases.

22 83 Date: May 3, 2019 Report No. 2019-095

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL

SUBJECT: Provide information regarding the process of City initiated zoning changes.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On April 23, 2019 the City Council adopted the 2019 Denton Development Code (DDC) which included the Zoning District Transition Chart, attached as Attachment 1. The Chart illustrates how the currently zoned properties transitioned to the new line of Zoning Districts. At the same meeting, the City Council continued the consideration of the Draft Zoning Map to August 6, 2019. The purpose of the continuation is to provide citizens, the City Council, and staff the ability to research, review and consider city initiated zoning changes. The purpose of this Informal Staff Report is to provide the process of bringing forward city initiated zoning changes and provide examples of zoning change requests.

BACKGROUND: Staff received numerous comments from the public regarding the zoning of their properties during the drafting of the DDC and Zoning Map and at the April 23, 2019 City Council public hearing. After the meeting, staff summarized the comments of some of the speakers and have provided recommendations regarding their properties. Attachment 2 is summaries including property information, existing conditions, findings of fact, exhibits and staff’s recommended zoning. In addition to the summaries of the parcels in Attachment 2, staff will be preparing similar summaries for comments received through email, calls, walk-ins, and from response cards and speaker cards.

For clarification below are definition of terms that are outlined in the attached summaries:

• 2002 Zoning – means the Zoning District from the 2002 DDC (i.e., NR-1 and NR-2), which is applicable today through September 30, 2019

• 2019 Zoning – means the Zoning District from the Transition Chart (i.e., R1 and R2), which is applicable today and effective on October 1, 2019

• Citizen Requested Zoning – Zoning District the property owner requested their property to be zoned

NEXT STEPS: Using these summaries along with the overall staff recommendations for special study areas, staff is preparing for a series of public hearings with the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council to consider the city initiated zoning changes. Each public hearing will focus on a specific Zoning District, specific study area, or a combination of both. Each public hearing will include a detailed staff analysis of each parcel, group of parcels, or study area.

84 Date: May 3, 2019 Report No. 2019-095

Prior to each public hearing, staff plans to meet with the Development Code Review Committee to discuss and seek their input regarding each item and associated study area. During this time staff will also be contacting the owner of each property for a proposed city initiated rezoning. Prior to the public hearings, notices will be mailed to property owners within 200 feet informing them of the proposed zoning change, date and time of the public hearing, and the method to provide comments.

As of today, staff has identified approximately 4,000 parcels that would need to be researched for a possible city initiated rezoning. Most parcels are grouped into neighborhoods or larger areas and will be brought forward in geographic groupings.

CONCLUSION: Staff is proposing to start the first series of public hearings with the Planning and Zoning Commission on May 29, 2019 and will continue this effort through July 24, 2019. Once all the city initiated zoning changes are considered by City Council, staff will bring forward the Draft Zoning Map as amended on August 6, 2019.

PROPERTY OWNER: Eric G. and Mary Ellen Janssen

BACKGROUND: The property owner is requesting that the subject property be zoned Residential 4 (R4). The property is currently undeveloped and is used for agricultural purposes. According to the Denton County Appraisal District the property owners have owner the subject property since 2002.

FINDINGS OF FACT: 1. The subject property is located along Blagg Road, a collector road per the Mobility Plan. 2. The subject property is primarily being used for agriculture. 3. The subject property was annexed into the City in 2001. Most of the properties designated as RD-5x in this area were annexed in 2013. 4. The subject property was zoned as Agriculture following annexation. This zoning designation was maintained even after the 2002 City-wide rezoning. 5. The zoning in this area of the City is not consistent. The majority of properties in this area are either undeveloped, or are used for rural residential and agriculture. The subject property is adjoined by ETJ properties to the south and west. The properties in this area that are part of the City are zoned RD-5x, NR-6, NRMU-12, and NR-2. The properties in the immediate area that are zoned NRMU-12 are used as single-family residential, and the NR-2 properties in the area are part of the Lakeview Estates subdivision. The nearby NR- 6 parcels are not developed, although a preliminary plat for a single-family subdivision has been applied for on the NR-6 parcel located to the north across Blagg Road. 6. The future land use designation for the subject property and the surrounding area south of Blagg Road per the Denton Plan 2030 Future Land Use Map is Low Residential. This designation is intended for areas predominantly used for single-family subdivisions with lots ranging from one acre or more in rural fringe areas up to four units per acre closer to the inner city. The current Agricultural zoning designation is less intense than what is typically intended for Low Residential areas, but the subject property is located on the eastern fringe of the City in an area where the Future land Use map quickly transitions to a Rural Areas along Lakeview Boulevard and beyond. The Future Land Use Map designates the area between Blagg Road and US 380 for Moderate Residential development. 87

7. With a minimum lot area of 7,000 square feet, R4 is not consistent with the Low Residential future land use designation.

RECOMMENDATION: Based on the findings of fact listed above, staff recommends that the property owner submit an application for the requested rezoning so that the case can be further analyzed in accordance with the Denton Development Code’s criteria for approval of a rezoning that does not conform to the Future Land Use Map. This case will require additional analysis and does not constitute a simple clean-up to the proposed zoning map.

LOCATION: Southeast corner of US 377 and Bernice Jones Road

SIZE: 4.74 acres, part in the City and part in the County

2002 ZONING: Neighborhood Residential 1 (NR-1)

2019 ZONING: Residential 1 (R1)

CITIZEN REQUESTED ZONING: Mixed-Use Neighborhood (MN)

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Pending

EXISTING USE(S): Undeveloped

STATUS: N/A

PROPERTY OWNER: Lotusacres LLC (registered to Ram Dora Sunkavalli)

BACKGROUND: The property owner is requesting that the subject property be zoned Neighborhood Mixed-Use (MN). The property is currently undeveloped and is used for agricultural purposes. According to the Denton County Appraisal District the property owner has owned the subject property since 2014. The property owner also owns two adjacent parcels of land located to the east in the City’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ).

Recently, the owner applied for a Pre-Development Meeting to discuss developing a multi-family development on their property in ETJ. The proposed MN zoning would permit the proposed multifamily use to be developed on this parcel located within the City limits as well.

FINDINGS OF FACT: 1. The subject property is located along US 377. 2. The subject property is primarily being used for agriculture. 3. The majority of the properties along this segment of US 377 were annexed in 1969. 4. The subject property was zoned for agriculture following annexation, and was rezoned to NR-1 in 2002 (not as a part of the 2002 City-wide rezoning). 5. The majority of properties in this area are zoned for low-density residential development. Properties further south along Hamilton Road and US 377 are zoned NRMU today. This zoning was assigned as part of the 2002 City-wide rezoning since the property had been zoned Commercial in 1998. These parcels will be zoned MN based on the Zoning District Transition Chart. 6. The future land use designation per the Denton Plan 2030 Future Land Use Map is Rural Areas. This designation is intended for areas predominantly used for farming or ranching along with very low density residential development (one unit per 5 acres, typically). The current NR-1 (R1) zoning designation is not consistent with this designation, but is more consistent with the intent of Rural Areas than mixed-use (MN) zoning. 7. Further south along US 377, roughly focused around the US 377 and Brush Creek Road intersection, the Future Land Use maps reflects a node of Neighborhood Mixed Use designation. This area around the intersection of two Primary Arterial roadways is a logical 96

location for smaller scale commercial, retail, and office uses to be provided to serve the surrounding rural areas.

RECOMMENDATION: Based on the findings of fact listed above, staff recommends that the property owner submit an application for the requested rezoning so that the case can be further analyzed in accordance with the Denton Development Code’s criteria for approval of a zoning change. This zoning change request will require additional analysis.

2019 ZONING: Residential 3 (R3)

CITIZEN REQUESTED ZONING: Mixed-Use Neighborhood (MN)

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Pending

EXISTING USE(S): Church

STATUS: Conforming related to use - Religious Assembly is an allowed use in the R3 Zoning District

PROPERTY OWNER: Ted Obialo

BACKGROUND: The property owner is requesting that his property be zoned MN in order to make the building on the property usable if the current occupant, a church, leaves. According to the property owner, the large church building on the property would not be appropriate for Single-Family Residential use, no other residential uses are permitted in the R3 district, and there are multifamily apartments nearby to the subject property. The property was purchased by the current owner in 2018. The church building on the site dates to 1970, according to Denton County Appraisal District records. It was officially purchased by a church in 1977 and was owned and occupied exclusively by a succession of various churches until 2002, when it again passed into private ownership, but continued to be church-occupied. There is no record of the use of the property prior to 1970.

FINDINGS OF FACT: 1. The subject property has been occupied by churches and/or non-profit ministries for over 30 years. The R3 zoning permits these use(s) to continue. 2. The subject property has always had a single-family residential zoning 3. The subject property is surrounded primarily by single-family or duplex residential uses. 4. Two properties on the same block of Bolivar as the subject property are zoned R7, and one contains an existing multifamily apartment. 5. The nearest MN-zoned property is two blocks away from subject property. 6. The only multifamily adjoining this property faces onto N Elm Street, a primary arterial. 7. The subject property is located on Bolivar Street, which, north of University Drive, is a neighborhood street. 8. R3 is consistent with this property’s Future Land Use Map designation of Low Residential. 9. MN is not consistent with the Low Residential Future Land Use.

RECOMMENDATION: Based on the findings of fact listed above, staff does not recommend a city-initiated rezoning, but does recommend that property owner submit application for property owner’s desired zoning district through100 the normal rezoning process. Comment from 113707 Aerial Map

117 April 2019 Date: May 3, 2019 Report No. 2019-096

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL

SUBJECT: Denton Parks and Recreation (PARD) Soccer Leagues

BACKGROUND: On April 26, 2019, PARD was asked to provide information in response to questions and concerns raised by the Denton Soccer Association (DSA). The following information is provided regarding the request.

1. Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) Fees

The current fees (impact fee) charged per player are $15 / each for recreation league and $25 / each for select league. Additionally, a $5 enhancement fee is assessed per player. PARD applies a $5 fee for non-residents that applies to all programming. Per the Facility Utilization Agreement (Attachment 1) with Denton Soccer Association (DSA), PARD requires 50% of the Association’s active membership/participants reside within city limits. This fee structure for impact and enhancement charges has been in place since 2009.

The purpose of the impact fee is to partially recover the cost of maintaining the athletic fields. The level of maintenance a park property receives is based on its classification. Athletic fields used for organized league play are classified at the highest maintenance level which is AA (Attachment 2). Other fields located in the park system not designated for league play are classified as A. The annual cost of maintaining the soccer fields utilized by DSA located at North Lakes Park is approximately $127,000 (Attachment 3). Athletic associations under agreement are booked first for scheduling of fields and allocation of time during their season based on enrollment. Remaining availability of fields and times are open to the public for rental use. The following detail shows the impact fees and non-resident fees collected over the last 3 years:

Denton Soccer Association 3 Year History - Impact & Non-Resident Fees Rec Impact Fees Select Impact Fees Non-Resident Fees Season/Year Total ($15/player) ($25/player) ($5/player)

Spring 2016 $ 10,155.00 $ 450.00 $ 1,065.00 $ 11,670.00 Fall 2016 $ 9,435.00 $ 1,600.00 $ 1,205.00 $ 12,240.00 Spring 2017 $ 10,125.00 $ 1,775.00 $ 1,180.00 $ 13,080.00 Fall 2017 $ 9,690.00 $ 1,775.00 $ 1,185.00 $ 12,650.00 Spring 2018 $ 10,695.00 $ 1,775.00 $ 1,200.00 $ 13,670.00 Fall 2018 $ 11,610.00 $ 850.00 $ 1,475.00 $ 13,935.00 $ 61,710.00 $ 8,225.00 $ 7,310.00 $ 77,245.00

118 Date: May 3, 2019 Report No. 2019-096

Revenue from enhancement fees is specifically designated and used towards the enhancement of athletic fields used by the Denton Youth Sports Association (DYSA). Per the Facility Utilization Agreement, the fees are used for projects voted on by the majority of DYSA members, giving DYSA significant input in the use of the funds. Additionally, scholarship participants are exempt from the enhancement fee.

The fund currently has a balance of approximately $22,000. On average, PARD receives $4,100 annually from Denton Boys Baseball, Inc. (DBBI) and $3,400 annually from DSA. The fund has primarily been used to cover the cost of winter rye seeding but other projects such as shade structures, clay work, benches, and scoreboard work have also been funded by the enhancement fee.

The impact fees collected from DSA in the 2018 season account for approximately 22% of the annual cost to maintain the soccer fields utilized by the organization. The remaining costs are covered by rental revenue and the tax supported general fund. PARD currently does not budget for enhancements or added features requested by DYSA or specific to the fields. The enhancement fund is used to fulfill those requests. General maintenance and replacements are funded by PARD. Further, the roles and responsibilities of PARD and DYSA, which includes DSA, are outlined in the Facility Utilization Agreement. The agreement is reviewed and approved on an annual basis. PARD is open to discussions regarding changes including to services that are mutually beneficial to all parties.

2. Services

PARD is open to providing fencing along the border of the soccer field pad to enhance the safety of the players. PARD staff can work with DSA representatives on a design meeting the proposed needs. Additional improvements such as sidewalks along the fencing could also be considered for improved accessibility and trail connection.

In 2018, PARD recommended amending the sign ordinance to bring sponsorship signage secured by DBBI into compliance. The change in language applied to DYSA which includes association members. A $10 fee per sign was included for advertising privileges on City property. The amendment was approved by Council and included in the Facility Utilization Agreement. Pending the design, approval, and installation of fencing around the soccer fields, PARD would support the placement of sponsorship signage on the fence in compliance with the ordinance and agreement.

Maintenance and operation of the building is outlined in a formal lease agreement adopted by city ordinance in 2003 (Attachment 4). The building was included in recent capital repairs for roof replacement. PARD is open to discussions regarding changes to the agreement that are mutually beneficial to all parties, serve the public, and align with the City’s strategic goals and objectives.

3. Competing League

PARD has offered a coed recreational soccer league for over 15 years. The primary difference in PARD’s league is that all teams are coed. The league was created to provide children from lower

119

Date: May 3, 2019 Report No. 2019-096

income families an opportunity to try a new sport and to be active. PARD also views this league as a way for parents to gauge their child’s interest in a recreational, low cost environment. The cost to play in PARD’s league is $65/player, a $45 difference from DSA’s early registration for new players.

Historically, we offer four age divisions: 6 & under, 8 & under, 10 & under, and 12 & under. It is not uncommon for PARD to cancel the 12 & under league due to lack of registration. For the Spring 2018 season, PARD held 6 & under, 8 & under, and 11 & under age divisions. With all three age divisions combined, PARD’s league had a total of 150 participants in the 2018 Spring league.

The league is not designed to compete with DSA. The goal of the league is to provide opportunities to families who may not otherwise be able to participate and to those exploring interest in new sports. PARD encourages and refers players that want to continue to play at the next level and grow as a player to register with DSA.

CONCLUSION: PARD values its partnerships with the community’s youth sports associations and recognizes the mutually beneficial relationship. The partnership is an efficient and effective way of providing vital youth athletic programs that promote health and wellness, build social skills, and engage families and the community.

PARD is committed to fostering and supporting positive relationships with our community partners and will work with all associations to improve communication and the sharing of information. PARD is also open to and welcomes discussions that will improve and enhance the services provided to our customers.

PARD will reach out to DYSA and work with the individual associations to address questions and concerns, review existing agreements for proposed updates and revisions, as well as develop joint work plans for improvements. DYSA and its association members will also be included in the master planning process in assessing and identifying future athletic needs.

In return for the use of those facilities and the City’s contributions as specified herein, the Association hereby agrees to abide by the following standards, requirements, and guidelines set by the City for all recreational youth sports. Failure to abide by these standards and guidelines could result in restriction of facility use or the cancellation of the Agreement.

Section 1. FIELD ALLOCATION

Both the City and the Association agree that these allocated fields are owned by the City and provided for the benefit of all citizens of Denton. The City shall maintain final approval over the use of these fields at all times. The City reserves the right to use any field for other events or programs if notice is given to the appropriate Association at least one month prior to registration for the next season, or if the Association’s schedule allows for additional field usage by the City. The City reserves the right to change field or concession assignments.

Associations will report enrollment numbers to the Athletics Office at least one week prior to practices beginning for each season in order to receive their field allocation for that season. Associations should accurately estimate their enrollment for the season. At minimum, fees will be based on this reported enrollment. The allocation chart is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A.

6. Athletic fields are closed between the hours of 7 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. Monday – Friday to allow City crews to maintain fields.

7. No team should be allowed more than four hours of field use per week.

Section 3. TOURNAMENTS AND CAMPS

Due to the increase in requests for field allocations to host tournaments and camps, and the added impact on personnel and operational budgets, the City will determine the types of tournaments and camps that will be selected and the responsibility of the requesting groups when hosting these activities. Selected tournaments may require additional maintenance costs such as labor and field preparation supplies, at the discretion of the City.

Tournaments within the Parameters of League Play: Intra-league tournaments for Associations that have one pre- or post-season tournament as part of the recreational league will be allowed by the City.

Invitational Tournaments and Camps: The City will allow one invitational tournament and one camp per season at no cost. The City will also allow one fundraising tournament per calendar year. All tournaments allowed hereunder must provide the opportunity for the Association’s teams to participate in the tournament.

Requests for additional tournaments will follow the same guidelines outlined in the City’s regular Field Agreement. 2 122

Requirements for all tournaments:

1. Tournaments may only take place within the allowable season dates per the Agreement, except for pre-season tournaments. Pre-season tournaments may be held the weekend before games begin, at the discretion of the City.

Section 4. ATHLETIC FIELD USAGE REQUIREMENTS AND ROGUE PLAY

1. Associations are prohibited from subletting fields. Teams must be a registered member of the Association to receive game and practice privileges.

Recreational teams in leagues that have combined with other associations and/or leagues are permitted up to two games in Denton before having to register with the Association and pay all applicable fees. Select teams are exempt from this game limit rule since they travel more often and pay select impact fees.
