(1) Large developments shall use a single category for street names while small subdivisions should use the same category as adjacent developments to help establish a locational identity.

(2) There shall be no duplication of street names. Similar sounding names are considered to be a duplication regardless of spelling (for example Beach and Peach). Names which duplicate or phonetically approximate existing names within the urban growth area are prohibited, as are names with similar pronunciations or spellings with existing names.

(3) Continuous streets, or a street proposed to be continuous, shall carry the same name throughout. If there is an interruption and there is no probability of eventual connection the interrupted segments may bear different names. Numbered arterials or collectors interrupted by an irrigation canal, highway, or other feature shall carry the same name on either side of the interruption.

(4) No separate name shall be used for a cul-de-sac that provides frontage for three or fewer lots.

(5) Names which include numbers, dashes, apostrophes, special characters, abbreviations (unless it is a suffix designation abbreviation such as “St.,” “Ave.,” “Blvd.” etc.), punctuation, or other nonalphabetical characters are prohibited.

(6) Names which exceed three words or 22 characters not including the roadway designator, and names which contain less than five characters (including a suffix designation abbreviation) are prohibited.

(7) Names which the Electric City public works supervisor, fire chief, or police chief determines to be unacceptable due to duplication or other difficulties related to emergency service dispatch are prohibited.

(8) Variations of the same name with a different street designation shall be prohibited within the first word of the two-word title or in the street extension (for example, Pine Road, Pine Drive, and Pine Lane). (Ord. 501 § 1, 2015)
