Policy

The City of Glendora has formal administrative policies governing the naming of streets and city-owned facilities. The Street Naming Policy establishes a standardized process in which the Planning Department maintains a list of eligible street names for newly created streets, while developers may propose alternative names if the list is exhausted. Proposed names must follow guidelines that promote local history, community identity, and geographic relevance, and must avoid duplication, confusing similarities, or discriminatory wording.

In addition, Administrative Policy 1.36 governs the naming of city-owned properties or the placement of plaques recognizing individuals or groups. Requests must be submitted to the City Manager, reviewed by appropriate commissions or boards, and ultimately approved by the City Council. The policy emphasizes that naming public facilities is a significant form of recognition and should be granted only in rare cases where individuals or groups have demonstrated exceptional service or contribution to the community.
