City of Tamarac, Florida Policy
Renaming of Street
PURPOSE: To establish a formal policy for requesting changes to existing street names within
the City of Tamarac
A. Policv
It is the intent of the City of Tamarac to provide a method for changing street names when justified
and where such change is supported by a majority of the property owners affected. It is recognized
that the changes impose certain costs upon the public including notification of public safety and
utility agencies, map changes, and replacement of identification signs. It is the intent of this policy
to establish a procedure for such changes and a fee structure that offsets the administrative costs
involved.
1. The following are eligible to submit street name change requests:
a. A citizen residing on the street to be renamed.
b. Civic or homeowners association that represent the affected street.
c. Any governmental unit having jurisdiction over the street.
2. Only those streets that are privately maintained or maintained by the City of Tamarac are
applicable to this policy. County, State or Federally maintained streets are not eligible for name
changes under this policy.
3. Proposed street name changes shall not duplicate any other street name in the City.
4. Proposed street name changes that are deemed inappropriate will not be considered at the
discretion of the City.
5. A Resolution by the City Commission will be required to approve a street name change.
6. Only numbered streets (i.e. N.W. 77t" Street) are eligible to be changed under this policy.
7. Signs for renamed numbered streets shall include the former numbered street and new name.
8. New street names shall remain in perpetuity and are not eligible to be changed again unless the
City Commission deems it to be a necessity.
9. The applicant will be responsible for the cost (installation and maintenance) of all new signs for
privately owned/maintained roads.
B. Procedure
1. Applications for a street name change shall be filed with the Community Development
Department and be submitted on the form shown on Page 3 of this policy titled, "Request for
Street Name Change" with the fee.
2. The application must include a justification for the proposed change.
3. City staff shall mail a notice of the proposed street name change to all property owners (as
established by the County Assessors roll), which may be affected by the proposed change.
4. All affected public agencies are notified of the proposal and requested to comment on the
proposed change within 30 days.
5. Community Development staff will analyze the feedback from the notice along with the
comments from public agencies.
6. Community Development staff will mail a notice to property owners informing them of the date
of the hearing by the City Commission.
7. At the scheduled hearing, Community Development staff will make a presentation to the City
Commission with the results of the analysis.
8. The City Commission will then take action to approve, deny, or continue the request to another
scheduled City Commission hearing.
9. If the street name changed is approved, City staff will mail final notices to all property owners
affected by the change and all affected public agencies.
10. City staff will make necessary changes to City maps.
11. The City staff will request the installation of new street signs from Broward County for publicly
maintained streets.
