Recently, I spoke to Mr. Mike Zander of the City's, Planning Department to inquire about the procedure required to change the name of the street where I will be living and working. He suggested that I write to you for this information and assistance. The street that I and our parish Planning Camcittee seek to change is Alfanje. (Please, confer the ThchMs Brothers Maps, page 20, no. c,4; 1978 edition). street is contiguous to the 5.04 parcel of land owned by the RrxMn Catholic Bishop of San Diego, a corporation sole for the St. Elizabeth Catholic Camrunity. parcel was sold to me by Mr. Irving Roston, who represents the La Costa Land Ccmpany.

The reason for my seeking a change in the street's name is it is difficult for many of my congregation to pronounce and even mre difficult for than to spell it correctly. Since all four of our proposed church buildings will bear this street's name, I muld hereby petition to change the street's name to Santa Isabel. This name was app.r& by the parish council of this Church. It mets with my whole hearted approval for the following reasons: it is easier to pronounce and should be easier to spell since Santa Isabel is mre familiar to most people than Alfanje and that it is in keeping with our Spanish heritage, scarrething Rancho La Costa has sought to preserve with the manes of all it's streets. It begins and ends with Alga Fbad and El F'uerte Street. Please advise me and my planning ccsnnittee as to what must be done next to bring about this change of the street's name. appreciated.
