Greenbelt Plan

City of Corinth adopted the Denton County Greenbelt Plan on 9/20/2018. The purpose for the Denton County Greenbelt Plan is to assist in protecting the greenbelts along and associated with streams that flow into the local water supply reservoirs. The plan is not intended to be a regulatory document; rather, a convenient guide to encourage and enable closer coordination among stakeholders. Implementation measures undertaken by plan adoptees are on a voluntary basis. Through adoption of this resolution, City of Corinth is eligible to obtain membership on the Denton County Greenbelt Plan’s Coordinating Committee.

To address the foreseeable land use changes, the Upper Trinity Conservation Trust, Denton County, and Upper Trinity Regional Water District commissioned a study to inventory and analyze greenbelts along the County’s major streams and the Elm Fork of the Trinity River. The major emphasis for this study was to identify existing greenbelts, opportunities for developing and expanding greenbelt corridors, and to categorize and prioritize area streams and watersheds for greenbelt preservation.

Stakeholders include Denton County’s municipalities, developers, citizens, and land owners. It is important to recognize the importance of our waterways and associated riparian zones, and to acknowledge the priority streams identified within the Plan. Implementation strategies are provided in the Plan to help protect the identified priority greenbelt corridors and streams for the foreseeable future.
