Public Street Renaming
A street name change officially changes the name of a street. All street name changes are for the entire length of the street and not for a segment of the street. For this purpose, the entire length of the street shall be deemed as the entire contiguous length of the street. A street name change will cause all properties addressed from the designated street to be readdressed in order to identify the new street name within the address assignment (Section 745.105, Ord. Code).
A street name change for the purpose of renaming the street after an individual must meet additional criteria. A street may only be named after an individual if:
- The person has achieved prominence as a result of their significant, positive contribution to the United States of America and/or the local community;
- The person has been deceased for at least five (5) years;
- The person resided in the community within five (5) miles of the street name change for at least ten (10) years;
- Waiver of any provision of this Section shall require a vote of two-thirds of all Council Members
