STREET NAME REQUEST: Section 951.05(4)(b) requires that new roadways bear street number designations in order to provide„ for a uniform road addressing and designation system. The applicant has requested the ability to utilize street name designations for the- project roadways. The Planning and Zoning Commission granted the applicant's request to utilize street name designations for the project. Staff requests that the Board reverse the decision of the Planning and Zoning Commission and require. that street number designations be Utilized for the project. Street name designation requests have been approved for subdivision projects located on the barrier island (eq. Seaview Subdivision). This—is due to the predominance of a street name road system that already exists on the barrier island. The area surrounding the subject site contains existing development which utilizes a road system beari-ng street number designations. (Staff acknowledges that. the numbered roadways 23rd Street S.W., 12th Avenue S.W. and. 12th. - Road S.W. bear the common name Highland Drive. However,,:it should be noted that this is the one exception in the area.) The applicant should be required to utilize road number designations for the project in order to maintain the existing pattern of road number designations surrounding the project .site and to be consistent with the provisions of Chapter 951 ..Of the LDRs. The road numbering system was established to promote an efficient system to be used by the general public,_ emergency services and the postal service. _ The Director of Emergency Services has.' Indicated that --the Emergency Services Department consistently supports the use of road number designation for new projects. (Please- see Attachment #7.) Therefore, both Planning Division and Emergency Services staff recommend that the applicant's request to utilize street name designations be denied and that the project be required to bear road number designations pursuant to Chapter 951 standards. = 13.
