FOR THE SEGMENT OF ROAD BETWEEN MAGIC MOUNTAIN
PARKWAY AND 11TH STREET AND ALL OF RAILROAD
AVENUE
Community Development
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a Resolution changing the street name of San Fernando Road to Bouquet
Canyon Road for the segment of road between Magic Mountain Parking and 11 th Street and all
of Railroad 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 calls for changing the street name of San Fernando Road and providing
continuity with any proposed street name changes. The first segment of San Fernando Road was
renamed Main Street in downtown Newhall between 5th Street and Lyons Avenue. The next
segment to be renamed is between Magic Mountain Parkway and 11 th Street and all of Railroad
Avenue. This entire segment of road is proposed to be re -named Bouquet Canyon Road and a

map has been provided as Attachment A - Street Name Change - Phase 2.
The City Council is the entity responsible for making City street name changes and can do so by
adoption of a Resolution. It is estimated that 115 businesses and 35 residential units will be
affected by this proposed 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,
Railroad Avenue, or Bouquet Canyon Road street name. This is possible because address
numbers will not be changed.
In anticipation of this project, two public outreach meetings were held to provide an opportunity
for affected businesses and property owners to voice their concerns and comment on the topic.
The first meeting was held on October 11. Business owners and property owners were in
attendance and no major objections to Bouquet Canyon Road were voiced at that time.
Additionally, those in attendance expressed their preference for the street name of Bouquet
Canyon Road over other alternatives such as Railroad Avenue.
A second meeting was held in conjunction with the Newhall Redevelopment Committee on
November 5. Business owners and property owners were in attendance and no major objections
to Bouquet Canyon Road were voiced at that time. The committee eventually voted 9 to 4 in
favor of the change to Bouquet Canyon Road.
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.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds for purchasing and installation of new overhead street signs, in the amount of $20,000, are
available in account #13400-5161.002.
