FROM:Harry N. Persaud, MRPTI, AICP, Chief Planning Official
SUBJECT:Consider approval of a detailedsite plan for the YMCA proposed
development located in Planned Development District, PD-12 and situated at 6000
Preston Road.
BACKGROUND:The Park Cities YMCA has existed on the current site since 1951. The
existing development is located on a tract of approx. 3.37 acres more or less, and zoned
Planned Development District PD-12. In April 2013, City Council approved a conceptual
site plan to demolish the existing building and construct a new facility on the site to
include a below grade parking garage. City ordinance 13/15 dated April 2, 2013,
provides the basis and conceptual framework for the proposed development. Section
17-101 of the comprehensive zoning ordinance requires that a detailed site plan “shall
conform to the data presented and approved on the conceptual site plan and supporting
documents” and it “shall be the basis for the issuance of a building permit”.
City staff in the Community Development, Public Works and Fire Departments reviewed
the detailed site plan (attached) and found the same to be ingeneral compliance with
the approved conceptual plan.
(1) The detailed site plan is amended to show an additional curb cut on the south east
corner of the site on Connerly to provide access to the service area for trash and
recyclable pickups. In view of the new driveway, the service area has been reconfigured
to add 10 feet on the north side.
(2) A minor change in construction materials as shown on the conceptual elevation
drawings is proposed on the south side of the building. A portion of the exterior wall
shown as “composite wood siding” is changed to glass.
Approval subject to the following special conditions:
1. Traffic signal equipment for the Normandy-Preston intersection shall be replaced by
the YMCA as part of this project.All traffic control devices associated with this project
shall be installed consistent with the approved traffic engineering submittal approved
with the detailed site plan. Installation plans for the traffic signal and related
appurtenances includingpedestrian crosswalk, shall be reviewed and approved by the
Director of Public Works before the issue of a building permit.

2. Trees along the Normandy frontage, in full view of the single family homes, shall be
installed and maintained prior to the public opening and use of the parking garage,
provided that construction personnel may use the garage when it is available.
3. The service area asshown on the approved conceptual site plan has been
redesigned with a curb cut on Connerly and expanded by 10 feet to the north to facilitate
trash pickup by the City. The detailed site plan as submitted should be amended to
reflectthe service area with the 10 feetexpansionto the north.
4. The details for the proposed flagpoles and signage for the facility to include but not
limited to specific location, setbacks from property line, illumination, height and size will
be reviewed and approved at the time of issuance of a sign permit.
A detailed report submitted to P&Z for their consideration of this item on March 11, 2014,

AGENDA MEMO
4/15/2014Agenda
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:Gene R. Smallwood, P.E.; Director of Public Works
SUBJECT:2014 Water Conservation Plan
BACKGROUND:
On February 4, 2014, Council approved a proposal from Nathan D. Maier Consulting
Engineers to review, update, and submit on behalf of the City,a Water Conservation
Plan and Drought Contingency Plan. State law requires municipalwater providersto
submit approved conservation plans containing quantifiable five and ten year goals for
per capita use. The City Council approved the currentWater Conservation Plan in April
2009. An updated and revised Water Conservation Plan is required by the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the Texas Water Development Board
(TWDB), and Region C Water Planning Group every five (5) years, beginning May 1,
2009.
The Water Conservation Plan has been updated and revised as required due to changes
in governing rules, in the City’s strategies which will more strongly encourage
conservation measures to meet stated goals, and by adding items omitted from the
previous plan. A summary of these changes is attached.
All approved Water Conservation Plans must be submitted to the TCEQ, TWDB, and
Region C Water Planning Group by May 1, 2014.
As a related issue, staff will place an ordinance on the May 6Council agenda for
consideration of limiting irrigation to two days per week.
RECOMMENDATION:
Following receipt of comments from the required public hearing, staff recommends City
Council adoption of Ordinance approvingof the 2014 Water Conservation Plan, and
authorization for staff to submit the 2014 Plan to the State.
City of University Park
Water Conservation Plan and Drought Contingency Plan
Executive Summary
An updated and revised Water Conservation Plan and Drought Contingency Plan are
required to be submitted to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ),
the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) and Region C Water Planning Group
every five years. The Water Conservation Plan is a combination of required and
voluntary programs and strategies aimed at reducing the amount of water withdrawn from
the City’s supply source, Grapevine Lake. The goals established within the Water
Conservation Plan are not enforceable. The Drought Contingency Plan is a combination
of strategies developed to manage the City’s water supply during times of water supply
shortages and water emergencies. Stages within the Drought Contingency Plan are
initiated during times of drought, water supply contamination, and treatment or delivery
system failure.
The Water Conservation Plan has been updated and revised as required due to changes in
the governing rules, in the City’s strategies,and by adding items omitted from the
previous plan. A summary of these changes is provided below.
Total gallons per capita per day(Total GPCD). Total water use goals for the City are the
total water purchased in a year by the City from the District divided by the City's
population, divided by the number of days in the reporting year.
Residential GPCD. Total gallons sold by the City in a year for residential use (indoor
and outdoor) divided by the City's residential population, divided by the number of days
in the reporting year.
Previous Conservation Plan 2013Target
Water Use: 235 gpcd (6% reduction in baseline average of 250gpcd).
Water Loss: Reducewater loss to 10% or less
Water UseThrough 2013
Water Use: Averaged 257.3GPCD from 2009-2013(a 5.2% increase over the
previous 5-year reporting average of 244.6 from 2004-2008).
Water Loss: Averaged 11.94% from 2009-2013, an improvement over the 2004-
2008 average of 13.29%
The City did not meet its 5-year goals, but has show improvement in calendar
year water use since 2011.
New Voluntary 5-Year Goals
New goals are consistent with North Texas water suppliers' goals in percent
reduction.
Target date of December 31, 2018
Water Use: Total water use of 247GPCD. Residential water use of 217.5 GPCD
(both are a 4% reduction in total GPCD over the next 5 years).
Water Loss: Reduce water loss to 10% or less(24.7 GPCD)
New Voluntary 10-Year Goals
Target date of December 31, 2023
Water Use: Total water use of 245.7 GPCD. Residential water use of 216.4
GPCD (both are a 4.5% reduction in total GPCD over the next 5 years).
Water Loss: Maintain water loss at 10% or less(<24.6 GPCD)
Implementation Reports were submitted over the past 5 years as required by the TWDB
in order to track the effectiveness of each conservation measure. This report will
continue to be submitted by May 1every year as required under State lawby the City.
New requirements related to residential GPCD goals were added to the Plan, as well as
revised definitions by the State. All other sections were revised to reflect updates to the
City's Water Conservation Program and Code of Ordinances, including the new
conservation water rate structure as adopted in Ordinance Number 13-012.
Review of existing conservation strategies and Best Management Practices has led the
City to adopt the following changes:
No Implementation of Water Surveys for Single Family and Multi-Family
Customers
Revised water rate structure in September 2013, in order to implement a
conservation surcharge
Continued study of a tiered rate structure for possible future implementation
Planned adoption of an Ordinance in May 2014 requiring smart meters on all new
irrigation installations in order to better track the City's irrigation use.
There were no changes to the rules related to Drought Contingency Plans by the TCEQ or
TWDB. TheCity of Dallas revised their Drought Contingency Plan so that it now only
contains three Stages, which negligibly impacts the City's regional effort clause inStages
I and II of the Drought Contingency Plan. Implementation and enforcement of 4 drought
stages is consistent with the guidelines and recommendations set forth in the 2011 Region
C Water Plan for North Texaswater suppliers. The District, the City, and the Town all
agreed that no changes should be made to the District's regional effort clause in the
Drought Contingency Plans.
If the City of Dallas initiates Stage I and/or Stage II of their Drought Contingency Plan,
the District and City willcontinue toinitiate Stage I and/or Stage II as well. The second
involves modified water supply initiation triggers by the District. Normalvolume
triggersfor initiating various stages for the City remain the same andare as follows:
Stage I: The District’s water supply in Grapevine Lake becomes 35% depleted.
Stage II:The District’s water supply in Grapevine Lake becomes 45% depleted.
Stage III:The District’s water supply in Grapevine Lake becomes 55% depleted.
Stage IV:The District’s water supply in Grapevine Lake becomes 70% depleted.
