The following principles shall govern the naming of streets:

a.Names shall be appropriate for street designations. Names which are so similar in spelling or in pronunciation to the names of existing City and County streets as to cause confusion shall not be accepted.

b.The words “boulevard,” “street,” “avenue,” or similar words designating a street shall be written in full on the final map.

c.Any street which is a continuation or an approximate or logical continuation, of any existing dedicated street shall bear the same name.

d.Where the extension of a street is impractical or impossible because of physical barriers, new streets shall be given different names even though they may be in the same general alignment.

e.Any street that forms a portion or a continuation or an approximate or logical continuation of any proposed street which has been previously ordered by the City to be surveyed, opened, widened, improved, and/or named shall bear the same name as said proposed street.

f.One of the following designations, or a designation approved by the Planning Commission, that most closely reflects the traffic characteristics or the existing or proposed adjacent land use, shall be used in naming a street:

Alley --a secondary access way

Court, circle or place --a residential cul-de-sac or loop street

Way, lane or terrace --a light-use residential street or access drive

Street --a commercial, industrial, or urban residential street

Avenue --an urban or suburban residential or collector street

Drive or road --a suburban residential street or a thoroughfare with parkway characteristics

Boulevard --an arterial street or parkway
