ROH — 02/09/15 <br />RESOLUTION NO. 2015 -04 <br />A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION <br />OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA TO RENAME A <br />SEGMENT OF RAITT STREET NORTH OF <br />MACARTHUR BOULEVARD AS JAGUAR WAY <br />BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF <br />SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS: <br />Section 1. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, <br />determines and declares as follows: <br />A. The applicant is requesting approval of Street Naming No. 2015 -01 to <br />rename a segment of Raitt Street north of MacArthur Boulevard that <br />provides access to Segerstrom High School as "Jaguar Way." <br />B. Street Naming No. 2015 -01 came before the Planning Commission of the <br />City of Santa Ana for a duly noticed public hearing on February 9, 2015. <br />C. The Planning Commission took into consideration the policy guidelines <br />contained in Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 33 -6, which suggests that <br />the name serve to identify the location of the subject by reference to distinct <br />geographic, environmental or development features in the immediate area. <br />D. The intent of the street renaming is to name the street segment after <br />Segerstrom High School's mascot, the Jaguar. The proposed street <br />renaming will serve to identify the location of the subject street segment by <br />referencing its proximity to Segerstrom High School and to Jaguar <br />Stadium. In addition, renaming the segment of the street to Jaguar Way <br />will improve wayfinding by clearly identifying it as a point of access into the <br />high school and as the primary point of access to Jaguar Stadium. <br />Further, it will clearly distinguish this street segment as a point of access <br />rather than a through- street, which will reduce traffic and pedestrian <br />confusion. <br />E. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act the <br />recommended action is exempt for further review per Section 15061 <br />(b)(3). The general rule exemption is allowed provided it can be <br />determined with certainty that the proposed project will not have a <br />significant effect on the environment. As the project consists of the <br />renaming of a street to reduce confusion to the public, the general rule <br />exemption is applicable. General Rule Environmental Review No. 2015 -1 <br />will be filed for this project. <br />Resolution No. 2015 -04 <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />39A -6 <br />
