STAFF REPORT
REQUEST: Set a Public Hearing to Consider a Street Name Change for the
Portion of Hwy 74 within the Palm Desert City Limits
SUBMITTED BY: Mark Greenwood, P.E., Director of Public Works
DATE: May 8, 2008
CONTENTS: Resolution No. 08-26
Recommendation:
Waive further reading and adopt Resolution No.08-26 setting a public hearing to
consider a street name change for Hwy 74 within the Palm Desert city limits.
Discussion:
The attached resolution sets a public hearing date for June 12, 2008, to consider a street
name change for Highway 74 within the city limits. The matter was brought to City Council
on April 10 as an informational item and the Council decided to schedule a public hearing to
receive public input on the matter. The first step in this process is adoption of a resolution
determining the need for a name change and setting a public hearing date.
Palm Desert took over control of the route recently, thereby dropping its state highway
status. It was requested the name be changed to eliminate a rural connotation associated
with a highway number.
The city lists 406 addresses on Highway 74 that would be notified of the public hearing. At
that hearing, a staff report will be included delineating all relevant considerations and
recommendations.
Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution setting a
public hearing date for June 12, 2008.
