Policy

The City of Dinuba’s ordinance establishes a structured process for naming and renaming streets within the city. Proposed street names must be submitted with subdivision maps and approved by the Planning Commission and City Council. Names may reflect geographic features, local history, horticultural themes, important individuals, or significant places. The policy also requires a five-year waiting period before naming a street after a person. For renaming existing streets, two public hearings and approval from two-thirds of affected property owners are required, along with a transition period where both the old and new street names are displayed to reduce confusion.
