RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the Planning Commission adopt a Resolution approving the street name

IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
There are no costs associated with naming of the private street.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council approved a mixed-use development at the southwest corner of East Grand

been selected for the private street on the interior of the site. The developer has requested
to designate the private street Elderberry Court.

Staff Advisory Committee
The Staff Advisory Committee (SAC) considered the developer's request at a meeting on
April 6, 2016, in accordance with Arroyo Grande Municipal Code (AGMC) Section 12-04-
050. Members of the SAC were in support of naming the street as requested by the
developer.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
Procedures for naming of streets are located in AGMC Section 12-04-050. Due to the
private street not being in alignment with others, the developer has requested a new street
name of Elderberry to maintain berry the theme established in the Berry Gardens Specific
Plan Area. The designation of the street is determined based upon the street being a short
or discontinuous street generally laid out in an east to west orientation, which the AGMC
dictates to be designated as Court. Therefore, the request to name the private street
Elderberry Court meets the procedures of the AGMC.
ALTERNATIVES:
• Adopt the attached Resolution approving the use of Elderberry Court for Tract 3072;
or
• Provide direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
Approving the street name as Elderberry Court is consistent with the AGMC and is in
keeping with the berry street theme of the Berry Gardens Specific Plan Area.
DISADVANTAGES:
None identified.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The project has been reviewed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the Arroyo Grande Procedures for the
Implementation of CEQA and was determined to be exempt per Sections 15060(c)(2) and
15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, as naming the street will not cause any direct or
indirect physical environmental impacts.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:
The agenda and staff report were posted at City Hall and on the City's website on Thursday,
April 28, 2016. No comments have been received.
RESOLUTION NO.
