EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
A. First Reading of Ordinance No. 119, 2003, Amending Section 24-91 of the City Code
Adding Categories ofClecto
° th t o t N es Be Used for Selecting Names
for New Arterial and S eets.Presently, Section 24-91 of to re erial a Hector streets to be named only
from a list of names of citizens that the City would like to honor posthumously. The Ordinance
would amend this section of the Code to also allow such streets to be named after natural areas,
natural features, historic and/or well-known places other names that Council may approve.
This change reflects the direction that City Council provided during the public hearing regarding
the renaming of five arterial streets in the southeast quadrant of the City back in May of 2000.
Comments from Council indicated that, while honoring notable citizens is laudable, natural areas
and features and place names should be considered as well. This Ordinance provides that
opportunity.
B. Resolution 2003-094tatin t Lis es for erial and Collector Streets.
The northeast quadrant of the City is rapidly developing. Existing developments are building-
out and new subdivisions and annexations are in the approval process within the Mountain Vista
and East Mulberry Area Plans. From this growth, there are now segments of six County Roads
that are located entirely within the City boundaries. Five of these six are "section line" roads
and, as such, are classified on the Master Street Plan as "Arterials" or "Minor Arterials." One is
a segment of State Highway One. In addition, there are four proposed collector streets that need
to be properly named.
Section 24-91 of the City Code requires that all new arterials and collectors be named from the
list of street names approved by the City Council. The list is adopted by the City Council and
names can be added only by Resolution of the City Council.
DATE: ITEM NUMBER:
In Spring of 2000, City Council updated the list to delete nine names that had been previously
selected and to add seven new names. Of these seven, four were selected to re-name existing
County Roads in the southeast quadrant of the City. The Board of County Commissioners then
approved an action to continue these newly selected names to the limits of the Growth
Management Area.
This Resolution represents a continuation of this re-naming effort. With the support of the
northeast area residents, Poudre Fire Authority, U.S. Postal Service and Latimer Emergency
Telephone Authority, Staff recommends that new proper names be given to six County Roads in
recognition of the emerging urbanization of the Growth Management Area and to comply with
City Code. The attached b and plvide�s- na es for all the affected roads,
including collectors, and the b is for
reco eMdat n 3.
