Wherever practical, streets that are in alignment with existing named <br />streets shall bear the names of such existing streets. Names for streets that are not <br />in alignment with existing streets are subject to approval by the planning director and <br />shall not unnecessarily duplicate or resemble the name of any existing or platted <br />street in Lane County. <br />(Section 9.6855, see chart at front of Chapter 9 for legislative history from 2/26/01 through 6/1/02.) <br />  <br />  <br />  <br />**************************************** <br />  <br />Street Name Change <br />  <br />9.8475 Purpose of Street Name Changes. Requests to rename an existing street may be <br />generated by a variety of circumstances. In many cases, there are other existing <br />streets in the city that have similar sounding names resulting in confusion for the <br />postal service, emergency response services and the general public. Applications <br />to rename a street are subject to state law that requires the planning commission to <br />review the request and make a recommendation to the city council for final action. <br />(Section 9.8475, see chart at front of Chapter 9 for legislative history from 2/26/01 through 6/1/02.) <br />  <br />9.8480 Applicability. Any existing street or highway, other than a county or state road or <br />highway, may be renamed by the city council provided it is within six miles of the <br />limits of the city and within the Eugene Urban Growth Boundary. Street name <br />changes are subject to the Type IV procedural requirements beginning at EC <br />9.7400. <br />(Section 9.8480, see chart at front of Chapter 9 for legislative history from 2/26/01 through 6/1/02.) <br />  <br />9.8485 Street Name Change Approval Criteria. The planning commission shall <br />recommend, and the city council shall approve an application for a street name <br />change upon determining that a proposed renaming is in the best interest of the city. <br />(Section 9.8485, see chart at front of Chapter 9 for legislative history from 2/26/01 through 6/1/02.) <br />  <br />9.8490 General Requirements. The city council by ordinance shall rename a street or <br />highway in accordance with the recommendation of the planning commission, or by <br />resolution shall reject the recommendation. A certified copy of the ordinance shall <br />be filed for record with the county clerk or recorder, and a like copy shall be filed <br />with the county assessor and county surveyor. The county surveyor shall enter the <br />new names of the streets and roads as required by state law. <br />(Section 9.8490, see chart at front of Chapter 9 for legislative history from 2/26/01 through 6/1/02.) <br />July 15, 2019, Public Hearing – Item 3
