RECO MMENDAT IO N:
It is re c ommended the Planning Commission adopt a Resolution approving the street
names for Subarea 2 of the East Cherry Specific Plan .
SUMM ARY OF ACTION:
Approve street names fo r Subarea 2 of the East Cherry S pecific Plan.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
No impact on financial or personnel resources identified.
BACKGROUND:
On January 24, 2017, the City Council approved a mixed-use development at the southeast
corner of East Cherry Avenue and Traffic Way . At that time, street names for the residential
portion of the project had not been selected. The developer requests to designate the
streets Rainier Place, Larian Court, Brooks Court, and Lambert Place for Subarea 2 of the
East Cherry Specific Plan (Attachment 1 ).
Staff Advisory Committee
The Staff Advisory Committee (SAC) considered the street name request at a meeting on
August 9, 2017, in accordance with the requirements of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code
(AGMC). Members of the SAC were in support of naming the streets as requested by the
developer due to the proposal not creating conflicts with other existing streets in the City .
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
Procedures for naming of streets are outlined in AGMC Section 12.04.050. Designation of
Street A and Street D are determined based upon the streets being short or discontinuous
streets and generally laid out in a north to south orientation, which the AGMC dictates to be
designated as Place . Designation for Street B and Street C are determined based upon the
streets being short or discontinuous, generally laid out in an east to west orientation, which
the AGMC dictates to be designated as Court .
