SUBJECT :
STREET NAME CHANGE REVIEW
--- STATEMENT OF 'THE MATTER
REQUEST
The Planning Department has received a letter from a private party requesting a street name change which is not part of the current City program.
In the letter Don'Woodward, developer of PUD-7, has requested that the
name of Retiro Street (see location map) be changed to "Del Rey Avenue."
It is Mr. Woodward's feeling that a mispronounciation of the word . ''Retire" implies "retired," a concept contrary to his family oriented development (see letter). There is no development on Retiro at this time. The City is currently holding a check from Mr. Woodward in the c amount of $235.50, which is the estimated cost of changing the street
. signs.

Gentlemen:
I am the developer involved in CT 76-'17 PUD #7 at Rancho
La Costa. I have recently met with the planning staff,
and we have selected new names for the streets to be constrncted
in the project.
I would like to be able to change the name of the existing east-west street now designated as "Retiro". I feel the name, if mispronounced, denotes the elehent of being
"retired" which is contrary to the strong viahlk family
market that also exists i.r! the area.
I have selected the name of Del Rey Avenue as a substitute,
and it is acceptable to the planning staff. I am willing to
bear the cost of replacing the exisitng street signs as
evidenced by my enclosed check in the amount of $235.50 as
per the attached letter from Mr. Charles D. Grim of the
planning staff.
I
Yours truly,
THE WOODWARD COMPANIES
