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