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:
- Conduct a public hearing and adopt the street name change resolution. There is no alternative as there will be double addresses if the street name is not changed.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City will incur nominal costs in advertising and sending notices for the public hearing.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends City Council conduct a public hearing and approve the resolution changing the name of Cortez Avenue to Topanga Avenue, north of Benjamin Blvd.
