HUSTON, CTTY MANAGER TO: FROM: SUBJECT: COIqHUNITY DEVELOPHENT DEPARTHENT STATUS RE:PORT ON FUTURE STREET NAMES FROIq THE STREET' NAMING COlqMIl'rEE RECOP~ENDATION Receive and file. BACKGROUND As the City Council is aware, a Street Naming Committee was recently appointed to establish a list of possible street names to be recommended in East Tustin development. Members of the Committee included- Ed Pankey, Frances Logan, Gwen Fergu.son, Jerry Feldman and Shirley Doig (representing the Irvine Company). In preparing a list of possible street names, the Street Naming Committee contacted the Tusttn Historical Society a6d prepared a list of historical names which they then grouped by category. The Committee also utilized the following criteria in determining which names might be utilized: o names shal 1 not be ali ving person; o names shall have been a Tustln resident or operating business; o names shall not have been extensively used previously; ° Tustinites who lost their lives in defense of our Country (i.e., WWI, WWII, Korean and Vietnam War); and o features of agricultural, geological, archealogical or palentological significance to Tustin. Based on the above process and criteria, the Committee has produced the attached list of possible names that could be utilized in East Tustin developments. The Committee also examined a variety of mechanisms for ensuring implementation of the City Council's desire to incorporate historical names in East Tustin. A few of these alternatives included: reviewing each and every subdivision and recommending that a list of certain names be incorporated in each and every project, at the discretion of the builder and Irvine Company; recommending a mandatory list of names that would have to be utilized on certain designated - streets with no discretion on the part of the building or the Irvine Company. The Committee, however recognized that these approaches might dramatically affect marketing and merchandising on certain residential product types. The Committee, therefore, felt that another approach could be more mutually compatible with both City and Irvine Company goals. City Council Report Street Names January 3, "1989 Page two Rather than mandating which names must be used, the Committee has opted for a more flextble approach. They will be transmittlng the attached 1Jst to the ]:rvlne Company and asking that the Company coordinate wtth thetr JndlvJdual builders and provide a program for Incorporating hlstorical names In future projects (see draft letter to the ~[rvtne Company). Thts means that if the Company provides a comprehensive program, it may not be necessary for individual names to be incorporated into each and every project. For example, the Company could ldenttfy in their program those development sites where they will requJre buJlders to incorporate street names off of the attached list. Once a comprehensive program proposal is received from the Company, reviewed and accepted by the Street Namtng Committee, the Committee wtll revtew affected subdlvtslon submittals prior to flnal tract map approval to ensure their compliance with the ortginal program tntent. Bullders at thts stage would be providing a recommended 11st of street names. Prtor to City Council final tract map approval, a final recommendation on street names for these tracts wil1 be transmitted to the City Council from the Street Naming Committee. Christine A.

Box 1 Newport Beach, California 92658-8904 SUBJECT: FUTURE STREET NANES Dear Jay: As you are aware· the Tustin City Council recently appointed a Street Naming Committee to establish a list of possible street names to be incorporated into East Tustin developments. After several months of work, the Committee has prepared the attached list. We also reviewed a variety of ways in which to implement the City Council's desire to incorporate historical names into East Tustin development. A number of these alternatives included: Recommending a list of certain potential street names to be incorporated in each and' every project at the discretion of the building and the Irvine Company; and recommending mandatory names that would have to be utilized on certain designated streets with no discretion on the part of the builder or the Irvine Company. The Committee, however, recognized that either of the above approaches might negatively affect marketing and merchandising on certain product types. The Committee felt that another more flexible approach could still be mutually compatible with both City and'Irvine Company goals. Rather than mandating which street names must be used, the Committee is forwarding to the Irvine Company the attached list for your coordination and education of builders. We are requesting that the Irvine Company respond wi th a comprehensive program proposal for incorporating historical names into street naming program ultimately implemented by builders or the Irvine Company. · This means that 'if the Company provides a comprehensive program, it may not be necessary for each and every project to incorporate historical names or that all names on the attached list need to be used. We would expect the Company to identify in their program, those development sites where they will require builders Mr. Jennings Pierce , 1989 Page .two to incOrporate street names and under what procedure. The program should also inclade the Company's own proposal for incorporating historical names into their Phase IV Sector Level Map. We would kindly request that the Company submit their proposed program proposal to the Committee within 30 days. Once a program is received, reviewed and accepted by the Committee, the Committee will be reviewing subsequent subdivision submittals prior to final tract nmp approval to ensure compliance with the original program intent. Should you have any questions, please contact Christine Shingleton, the staff liaison to the Street Naming Committee.
