§ 32-4. Street naming procedure.

(a)

Street names shall be required of every access that serves at least three (3) dwellings and/or business establishments or combination thereof, except in mobile home parks, condominiums, shopping centers and apartment-type developments. In these cases, street names will not be permitted.

(b)

Mobile home parks, condominiums, excepting condominium subdivisions, shopping centers and apartment-type developments that have existing road or street names will, within sixty (60) days of the notice given by the address coordinator showing the address and space or apartment numbers, take down existing road or street name signs and erect the signs in accordance with the provisions of section 32-8, subsection (c)(5) of this chapter.

(c)

All streets or roads shall be known by the same name for the entire length, except that the name may change when the street or road crosses a base line.

(d)

The County of Butte shall have the right to name or rename all private roads, access or easements and county roads in the unincorporated areas of Butte County.

(e)

All road names will be reviewed by the address coordinator before being submitted to the board of supervisors.

(f)

When naming or renaming any road, access or easement, the address coordinator will contact one person living on said road, access or easement to circulate a petition for selecting a name or new name. If within thirty (30) days a new name has not been submitted to the address coordinator, the County of Butte will have the right to select a name or new name for said road, access or easement.

(g)

Any new county road may be officially named upon petition to the address coordinator in the form of a map showing the location and alignment of the road to be named and five (5) proposed names. These names will be studied to assure they do not duplicate or sound like any existing road names in the county. If one of these road names does not conflict with any existing road names, this name will be recommended to the board of supervisors in the form of a resolution of intention. Upon approval by the board of supervisors, thereafter such road shall be officially known by the name so designated.
