§ 9.163.280. Street names.

(a)

Naming; duplication.

(1)

Street names within the boundaries of a division of land shown on a final map or parcel map shall be submitted to the City Engineer for approval and, if duplicated elsewhere in the sub-region or so nearly the same in spelling or pronunciation as to cause confusion, the City Engineer may require some other name.

(2)

Unless a name is so duplicated or confusing it shall be the same as the name of any street of which it is on line of extension, or the name to which said street or highway may be in the process of being changed.

(b)

Streets (except alleys or walks) extending approximately northerly and southerly shall be designated "avenue" and those extending approximately easterly and westerly shall be designated "street."

(c)

Streets which materially change direction shall bear the name and suffix designated by the City Engineer as most closely conforming to a suitable house numbering system.

(d)

The words "avenue," "boulevard," "place" or other designation of any such street shall be spelled out in full.

(e)

The name of each newly dedicated portion of any street shall be shown in or arrowed to such newly dedicated portion.
