(Code 1999, § 16.16.020; Ord. No. 96-347, § 1(11-28-2); Ord. No. 13-001, 4-8-2013)
Sec. 16.16.030. - Designation of street names.
A.All continuing public streets shall be called: avenue, boulevard, drive, highway, parkway, road or street.B.A loop street may be known as a circle or loop, however, such naming is not mandatory, but no other thoroughfare which connects two other streets shall use this designation.C.A short connecting street that is less than 300 feet in length that ties two streets together by forming a "T" or "Y" intersection, but does not continue directly across these streets, shall be known as "way," and shall be named the same name as one of the two streets it connects. A connecting street that is longer than 300 feet may have a separate name or it may also be called way.D.A cul-de-sac street that extends to a property line as a convenience for further development may be treated as though it were a through street.E.A long cul-de-sac street, which is more than 300 feet, may have a separate name from the street of its origin as long as it is not in conflict with existing names, but it cannot use a designation reserved for through streets.F.A short cul-de-sac street that is less than 300 feet shall have the same name as the street from which it is served. It shall be known as place, bay, lane, court or circle. Separate cul-de-sacs of the same street may use the same name with different compass designations as part of the name if the design of the plat so dictates.G.When more cul-de-sac streets are developed on any given street than there are designations available, special naming may be employed if it is first approved by the commission.H.When necessary, compass designations may be added to sections or segments of existing or future streets where such an addition would be desirable to eliminate conflict or duplication of house numbers, or where it is desirable to identify portions of any street which has variable directions, is rather extensive in length or is part of an overall numbering system.I.A dedicated pedestrian way or easement if named shall be called "path" or "walk."J.When plausible, streets shall be named numerically in alignment with existing streets and other future alignments as indicated on the master city street map.
