PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
The Billings Fire Department requests a street name change in the High Sierra Subdivsion, from Cortez Avenue to Topanga Avenue, north of Benjamin Boulevard. High Sierra Subdivision 7th Filing named this street Cortez Avenue. If it retains that name and extends into the 8th filing, it would create addresses that conflict with ones in the 7th filing. There is currently no one addressed from this short section of Cortez Avenue. Attached is an exhibit of High Sierra Sub 8th Filing which shows Topanga Avenue and the small section of Cortez Avenue that needs to be re-named.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
The Council may:
- Acknowledge the name change request and set a public hearing for October 13, 2015. There is no alternative as there will be double addresses if kept as Cortez Avenue.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City will incur nominal costs in advertising and sending notices for the public hearing.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends City Council acknowledge the request for a street name change from Cortez Avenue to Topanga Avenue, north of Benjamin Blvd. and set a public hearing for October 13, 2015.
