ROBERTS 1 11 1 EXHIBIT "1" TEMP RESO #10447 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. F rAM C R,. • REQUEST FOR RENAMING OF STREET A fee of $200 shall be submitted with this request to cover the costs of mailing notices, amending maps, and other administrative costs associated with review and analysis of the request.
