initiate the processing of a street name change application to change the name of the 3rd/4th
Connector, also known as 3rd/4th Avenue, to Shelton Boulevard.

procedures for considering a street name change, which includes a Type IV review process requiring
the Planning Commission to hold a public hearing according to the quasi-judicial procedures of state
law and those set out in EC 9.7065 through 9.7095, and to make a recommendation to the City
Council to approve, approve with modifications, or deny the application.
C. On February 10, 2006, notice of a public hearing to be held by the Eugene Planning
Commission was mailed to property owners and occupants within 300 feet of the 3rd/4th Connector,
to the Whiteaker Community Council, the affected Eugene neighborhood association, and to persons
who requested notice. Notice was also posted and freestanding signs were installed pursuant to EC
9.7415.
D. On March 14, 2006, the Eugene Planning Commission held a public hearing on the
proposed street name change, and following the public hearing, the Planning Commission
unanimously recommended that the City Council change the name of the 3rd/4th Connector to Shelton

Exhibit B
Findings of Consistency with
Street Name Change Criteria
Section 9.8485 of the Eugene Code (EC) provides the sole criterion for evaluating a proposed
street name change, stating:
EC 9.8485 Street Name Chan2e Approval Criteria. The planning
commission shall recommend, and the city council shall approve an application
for a street name change upon determining that a proposed renaming is in the
best interest of the city.
Based on Planning Commission's recommendation, the records of the public hearings before
both the Planning Commission and the City Council, including the citizen testimony presented at
those hearings, the City Council finds that it is in the best interest of the City to honor the memory of
Dr. Thomas Winthrop Shelton and his extended family including Robert and Alberta (granddaughter
of Dr. Shelton) McMurphey by changing the name of the 3rd/4th Connector (also known as 3rd/4th
Avenue) to Shelton McMurphey Blvd. The Shelton and McMurphey families lived in the adjacent
Shelton-McMurphey-Johnson House and contributed to the civic and commercial progress of
Eugene.
The City Council further finds that the provision of key public services to residents and
businesses located along the street will not be adversely affected by the proposed street name change.
The U. S. Pos{Office and 9-1-1 emergency center have indicated their support for the proposed
street name change. The City, the U.S. Post Office and the 9-1-1 emergency center will implement
the street name change over a one-year period. The City Council finds that this implementation of
the street name change over a one-year transition period will minimize inconvenience and confusion
to residents, businesses and the general public.
