RESOLUTION NO. 2025-XXXX
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS ADOPTING AN UPDATED AND REVISED STREET NAMING AND RENAMING POLICY WHEREAS, Government Code Section 34091.1 provides that whenever the legislative body finds that a name should be adopted and applied to any city street, or that existing name of any city street should be changed, the legislative body may adopt a resolution designating a name for, or change the name of, such street; and WHEREAS, the Engineering Division of the City of San Marcos (“City”) previously developed a policy for the submittal and processing of new street names in conjunction with the entitlement process in 2015 (“Existing Policy”); and WHEREAS, the City’s Development Services Director has determined that it is in the public interest to revise and update the Existing Policy for naming new public and private streets and to include in this policy a procedure for the renaming of existing streets, both public and private; and WHEREAS, Staff recommends that the City Council supersede and replace the Existing Policy by its approval of the Street Naming and Renaming Policy attached hereto as Exhibit A.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of San Marcos resolves as follows:
It is in the public interest to adopt a policy for the naming and the renaming of public and private streets, in accordance with the authority granted by Government Code Section 34091.1.
The Street Naming and Renaming Policy attached hereto as Exhibit A is hereby approved.
The City Council delegates to the City Engineer the authority to process and approve new street names and the renaming of streets, both public and private, in accordance with the Street Naming and Renaming Policy attached hereto as Exhibit A.
The City Council authorizes the City Engineer to administratively update, as necessary, the Street Naming and Renaming Policy, subject to City Manager approval.
The adoption of this Resolution approving a street naming and renaming policy is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), as it does not have the potential to cause a significant effect to the environment. CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, whereas here, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.
