RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE STREET NAME CHANGE
OF SAN FERNANDO ROAD TO MAIN STREET FOR THE
SEGMENT OF THE ROAD BETWEEN 5TH STREET AND
LYONS AVENUE
Community Development
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a Resolution changing the street name of San Fernando Road to Main Street
for the segment of the road between 5th Street and Lyons Avenue.
BACKGROUND
On December 22, 2005, the City Council and Santa Clarita Redevelopment Agency adopted the
Downtown Newhall Specific Plan. The Specific Plan put in place land use designations and
development standards to transform downtown Newhall into a thriving, mixed-use,
pedestrian -oriented urban village with a series of economic engines.
The Specific Plan also calls for a number of catalytic projects to be implemented over the life of
the plan. These include public improvements and facilities such as changes in traffic patterns
and circulation, streetscape, landscape, and the provision of public parking structures.
One project in particular requires changing the name of San Fernando Road to Main Street for
the segment between 5th Street and Lyons Avenue. The recommended change would not affect
address numbers. Completion of this project would further reinforce the status of downtown
Newhall as a special and distinct place with a unique identity in the community.
The City is the entity responsible for making City street name changes and can do so by adoption
Adopted:,�-�g
of a resolution. It is estimated that $1 businesses and 56 property owners may be affected by the
street name change. All of these businesses and property owners were notified by mail of the
pending change and were invited to the public meetings described below. Staff has been in
contact with the US Postal Service and has received notification that mail will be delivered
indefinitely to any existing address accompanied by the San Fernando Road or Main Street name.
In anticipation of this project, two public outreach meetings were held to provide an opportunity
for affected business and property owners to voice their concerns and comment on the topic.
City staff and the Old Town Newhall Association (OTNA) co -hosted a Community Meeting on
August 13, 2007 at the Senior Center. Business owners and property owners were in attendance
and no major objections to Main Street were voiced at that time. The second meeting was held
in conjunction with the regular monthly meeting of the Newhall Redevelopment Committee on
September 10.
If the street name change is approved, staff will complete the necessary official notifications to
the US Postal Service, Utilities, Emergency Services, and other affected public agencies.
Another letter will then be mailed to affected business owners and property owners to officially
notify these parties of the new street name. New decorative street signs noting Main Street will
be installed shortly thereafter.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds for purchasing and installation of new street signs, in the amount of $5,000, are available
in the Downtown Newhall Restripe and Signal Project - Project No. 52016390.
