Street Naming No. 2021-01 to Rename a Portion of South Lyon Street to South Elk Lane <br />July 20, 2021 <br />Page 3 <br />PacifiCenter (Specific Development No. 69) and will not contain repeating or <br />overlapping address numbers with other segments of Lyon Street or Elk Lane. <br />Lyon Street has applied to the roadway segment since the late 1890s, named after nearby <br />Tustin pioneer George B. Lyon (1806-1890), who owned the land in that portion of the <br />region. Mr. Lyon appears in local records beginning in 1882, when he is believed to have <br />purchased large amounts of land in Santa Ana and Tustin following a collapse in property <br />values associated with changes in the railroad industry. The proposed renaming would <br />only affect a small segment of South Lyon Street and would leave other portions of Lyon <br />Street north of the affected segment intact. <br />In early 2021, Exalted Ruler Lisa Darmousseh of the Local 794 initiated public outreach <br />to affected property owners through mailers and in -person visits to identify any areas of <br />concern, and to offer financial assistance to property owners affected by the proposed <br />renaming to update any affected records. In addition, the City notified property owners <br />and tenants/occupants affected by the proposed renaming. As of the writing of this report, <br />no areas of concern have been identified by any property owner or tenant/occupant. <br />Based on the above analysis, staff recommends that the City Council affirm the Planning <br />Commission's approval of the renaming of a street segment adjacent to the new Elks <br />Club headquarters as South Elk Lane. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act and the CEQA Guidelines, <br />the recommended action is exempt from further review per Section 15061 (b)(3). This <br />general rule exemption is allowed provided it can be determined with certainty that the <br />proposed project will not have a significant effect on the environment. As the project <br />consists of the renaming of a public street, the general rule exemption is applicable. <br />Categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. 2021-66 will be filed for this project. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. <br />EXHIBIT(S) <br />1.
