RECOMMENDED ACTION

BACKGROUND
On October 7, 2021, the City of Santa Clarita (City) received a letter from the Santa Clarita
Automobile Dealers Association requesting to rename Auto Center Drive to Cheri Fleming Auto
Center Drive. Auto Center Drive extends north from Magic Mountain Parkway, a distance of 975
feet, and bisects Creekside Road as shown on the attached location map.
The proposed street name change is in honor of well-known philanthropist, Cheri Fleming, who
passed away on November 16, 2020. Cheri Fleming was a civic leader in the Santa Clarita
community, who for decades, provided leadership through service to numerous nonprofit
organizations. At the time of her passing, she served as a Director of the Greater Los Angeles
New Car Dealers Association, Soroptimist International of the Americas, and the American
Cancer Society Unit Council. Cheri was also chair -elect for Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital and
board chair for the Child and Family Center Foundation.
The two businesses impacted by renaming Auto Center Drive to Cheri Fleming Auto Center
Drive have conveyed their support. City staff has also contacted the Los Angeles County Fire
Department and Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, and neither agency expressed
concerns with the proposed street name change.
If the resolution is adopted, staff will complete the necessary mail notifications to the United
States Postal Service, local utility companies, California Emergency Management Agency, and

attached, noting Cheri Fleming Auto Center Drive will be installed shortly thereafter.
