PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION On February 9, 2015, the Planning Commission adopted a resolution approving Street Naming No. 2015 -01 by a vote of 7:0 to rename a segment of Raitt Street located adjacent to Segerstrom High School and north of MacArthur Boulevard to Jaguar Way. The Planning Commission made no changes to the recommendation outlined in the attached staff report (Exhibit A). DISCUSSION The subject street segment was formerly vacant land until it was constructed and dedicated to the City of Santa Ana in 2003 as part of the Segerstrom High School development. The proposed street segment is not a through - street and serves as a point of primary school access to Segerstrom High School together with its sport facility known as Jaguar Stadium. The proposed street renaming will serve to identify the location of the subject street segment by referencing its proximity to Segerstrom High School and to Jaguar Stadium. In addition, renaming the segment of the street to Jaguar Way will improve wayfinding by clearly identifying it as a point of access into the high school and as the primary point of access to Jaguar Stadium, Further, it will clearly distinguish this street segment as a point of access rather than a through - street, which will reduce traffic and pedestrian confusion. 39A -1
