Denton, Texas Development Code
2002 Texas APA Current Planning Award
Denton's Development Code, adopted by the city in February 2002, was awarded the Current Planning Award from the Texas American Planning Association.

It was felt that this provision allowed for any issues raised in the implementation to be easily addressed.
"Updating the 1969 development regulations was necessary to accommodate future growth. The new Code will improve our quality of life, stimulate economic development, and promote overall beautification in Denton," said Mayor Euline Brock. "It is great to see our Code begin recognized as an exemplary document in the State of Texas."

2002 Daniel Burnham Award
The Daniel Burnham Award is one of the most prestigious planning awards in the nation. The award is named after the legendary urban planner responsible for creating the Chicago Plan of 1909—considered one of the nation's first examples of comprehensive planning. It is not awarded each year as it is reserved for projects that stand apart from the rest as models of success.
2001 Congress for the New Urbanism Charter Award
Envision Utah received the Congress for the New Urbanism Charter Award for a regional planning process in 2001. Each year CNU convenes a jury of the highest caliber to review submissions and select projects that best embody and advance the principles of the Charter of the New Urbanism. Honorees set the gold standard for urban design and development and serve as powerful examples for future development.
With its focus on urban design, the Charter Awards program is different from most architecture awards. Instead of assessing buildings and plans apart from their surroundings, the Charter Awards look at how plans and projects respond to and integrate with their contexts and, consequently, how they improve the human experience of the built and natural environments.
