PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
A request has been received from MorningStar Senior Living to change the name of Bonaventure Drive to Bell Drive. Bonaventure Drive runs between Central Avenue and Bell Avenue, one block west of Shiloh Road. When the senior living complex was originally developed, it was owned by and called Bonaventure Senior Living. Bonaventure sold to MorningStar December 1st, 2013. MorningStar Senior living does not want to retain the Bonaventure name and originally requested the street be named Morningstar Drive. Staff does not want to deal with a potential name change every time the ownership of the complex changes. The Fire Department suggested and concurs with the name Bell Drive.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
The Council may:
- Acknowledge the name change request and set a public hearing for May 12, 2014; or
- Decline consideration of the street name change
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 Bonaventure Drive to Bell Drive and set a public hearing for May 12, 2014.
