Folkers,ACM/Director of Public Works SUBJECT: STREET NAME CHANGE FOR THE PORTION OF VERBA SANTA DRIVE ON THE WEST SIDE OF HIGHWAY 74 DATE: September 10, 1998 RECOMMENDATION: Waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. 98-105 setting a public hearing to consider a street name change for the portion of Verba Santa Drive on the west side of Highway 74. BACKGROUND: Attached is a memorandum the City received from the fire department regarding the two separated sections of Verba Santa Drive. Delays in emergency response is a serious concern that has occurred due to the name and addressing of the street sections that are not continuous. During the development of properties on the west side of Highway 74,the street was vacated leaving a small isolated segment of Verba Santa Drive. Chief Wright's recommendation of renaming the segment, west of Highway 74 to West Verba Santa Drive, will accomplish the desired result of a specific identifiable location and retain the familiar name. The name change would affect one property on the public segment and nine on the private segment of the street. A letter has been sent to the property owners/residents. Also,the postmaster was contacted for comments. Public works staff recommends the City Council adopt the resolution to set the public hearing for the street name change. RIC RD J. FO RS, P.E.

WRIGHT, Chief Riverside Ranger Unit Subject: Conflicting Street Names "Verba Santa Drive" City of Palm Desert has two streets with the same name, one is on the east side of Highway 74 and the other is on the west side of Highway 74. See the attached map for reference. These two streets have similar and at times overlapping street numbers. Because of these circumstances, emergency responses to these areas may be delayed because of the confusion associated with close proximity and addresses on these streets. In order to avoid confusion, one of the two streets should be renamed. I would like to suggest an easy change to eliminate any confusion between these streets. I would recommend that the"Verba Santa Dr" on the west side of Highway 74 be renamed to"West Verba Santa Dr." This would hopefully avoid the confusion between the two streets. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Sincerely; '/ 6f/c4 7Z, Robert A. Green Battalion Chief , ``. , \\I.!' Li:;.-_-_---1 '..... ,..,-,1 ,..._ it 0 �' =L�-,i v r _ 4-' SAN W OORGON .

Delays in emergency response is a serious concern that has occurred due to the name and addressing of the street sections that are not continuous. In similar situations, a complete name change for one street section is not necessarily practical, desirable nor accepted by the affected residents. The recommendation of renaming the segment of the public street, on the west side of Highway 74,to West Verba Santa Drive will accomplish both the desired result of a specific identifiable street location and retain the familiar name to the residents. I have also contacted the postmaster for comments. Any comments or questions you may have can be addressed to: Tom Bassler City of Palm Desert 73-510 Fred Waring Drive Palm Desert,CA 92260 or Phone: (760) 776-6450 Fax: (760)341-7098 Presently we intend to bring this matter to the City Council at their September 10, 1998 meeting. Further actions, prior to an official name change,will include the notice and posting of a public hearing.
