PL ~~~ RECOMMENDED ACTION: DEPT. HD.OP CITY Am\! CITY MOR$& Approve the proposed street name changes from Faraday Avenue to Palmer Avenue and from Palmar Court to Corte Quinta Mar. ITEM EXPLANATION This item is a city initiated street name change for two streets in Carlsbad: 1) Faraday Avenue to Palmer Avenue located in the Koll Company's Carlsbad Research Center, and 2) Palmar Court to Corte Quinta Mar, a residential street in La Costa. The street name changes would eliminate any confusion created by two streets having similar names. The Planning Commission found that the proposed street name changes are consistent with the City Council Street Naming Policy and that there was sufficient justification to change the street names. The Commission's only concern was the affect of the street name change on the residents living on Palmar Court. Since all the residential units are owned by the La Costa Hotel and Spa and are used as vacation rentals, the Commission felt the proposed name change would not create any undue hardships. FISCAL IMPACTS The fiscal impact to the city is the cost of replacing one existing street sign on Palmar Court. No street signs presently exist on either Faraday Avenue or Palmer Way. EXHIBITS 1.

Way to Faraday Avenue generally located north of Palomar Airport Road and east of El Camino Real. I. . PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND A proposal for a street name change from Palmer Way to Faraday Avenue was heard at the Planni.ng Commission meeting of March 10, 1982. At this meeting, the Commission expressed concern that Palmer Way was of historical significance, having been named for Ralph Palmer, a former owner and publisher of the Carlsbad Journal. As the Commission will recall, the intent of the proposed street name change was to eliminate an existing conflict between Palmer Way, an industrial street in the Palomar Airport area, and Palmar Court, a residential street in La Costa. Also, Palmer Way aligns with Faraday Avenue, an industrial street being developed as a part of Koll's, Carlsbad Research Cei;ter (please see attached location map). As this will be a signalized intersection, staff recommended that Palmer Way be changed to Faraday Avenue for clarity (please see attached staff report). As the Commission directed, this item'has been noticed to allow different options for the naming' of the 'streets under consideration. Staff has identified the following possible options which are discussed in further detail under the analysis section of this report. 1) Change Palmer Way to Faraday Avenue. 2) Change Palmer Way to Faraday Avenue, Impala Drive to Palmer ' Way and Palmar Court to Corte Quinta Mar. 31 Change Faraday Avenue t.o Palmer Way and Palmar Court to Corte Quinta Mar. - 4) Leave Palmer Way and Faraday Avenue as existing and change Palmar Court to Corte Quinta Mar. -- L - T- ._ 11. ANALYSIS Plannina Issues 1. Are the proposed street name changes consistent with the established City Council Policy? 2. Which alternatives would best serve the community? Discussion City Council Policy No. 20 establishes policy and procedures for naming and changing the names of Carlsbad's streets. The policy was created to develop a. uniform system of naming streets to avoid such conflicts 2s identified here. Palmer Way does not appear to have been named and approved pursuant to Council Pol icy. City Council' Policy established seven geographical areas and des- ignates classifications for each of those areas (birds, cities, Spanish names). The Koll Center is in an area shown for famous names. Faraday Avenue was named for Michael Faraday, an English chemist and physicist. Palmer Way is in an area designated for animal names and Palmar court is in an area reserved for Spanish names. Some of the listed name change alternatives would involve deviations from their area designations. As discussed in the previous staff report, staff believes that Palmer Way should be changed to Faraday Avenue (option 1). Although Faraday Avenue would not conform to the Palmer Way area classification, (animals), staff believes that due to the extremely short length of the road, and inconsistency of the present name, Palmer Way, that utilizing the name Faraday for clarity would not compromise the integrity of the street naming policy. Further, it would eliminate a street name conflict with the minimum amount of confusion and changes required. Palmer Way does not currently appear on any city maps, never having been officially named pursuant to Council Policy, and no businesses are addressed off Palmer Way. Should the Planning Commission desire to honor Ralph Palmer with a street in this industrial area, the Commission could choose option 2. This alternative would change Palmer Way to Faraday Avenue, as discussed above, change Impala Drive to Palmer Way and change Palmar Court to Corte Quinta Mar. Impala Drive is a newly named and dedicated industrial street running north from the existing Palmer Way. Palmar Court is a residential cul-de-s-ac, zoned for multiple-family uses, developed with single-family homes. These houses are owned by the La Costa Resort and rented by their guests. As no one appears to live on Palmar Court on a permanent basis, changing the street name would probably have minimal impact. Should the Commission ch e.this alternative, Palmar Court. The name is consistent with the Spanish theme des- ignation of La Costa. Corte Quinta Mar means court of the sea resort. staff is recommending Corte Quinta Mar 7 s a replacement name for -2- . ', -- L --- Staff does not recommend option 3, changing Faraday Avenue to Palmer Way and Palmar Court to Corte Quinta Mar. Faraday Avenue was named pursuant to Council Policy No. 20, for Michael Faraday, an English chemist and Physicist. Faraday Avenue conforms to the area classification of famous names and is consistent with the theme of an industrial research park. The final option, #4, would leave Faraday Avenue and Palmer Way as existing and change Palmar Court to Corte Quinta Mar. Staff believes that, to lessen potential confusion, it is preferable that Palmer Way and Faraday Avenue share one name. However, due to the short length of Palmer Way and the fact that no businesses are actually addressed off Palmer, staff believes that there would be no significant adverse impacts resulting from allowing Palmer Way and Faraday Avenue to remain as they exist. This option would necessitate changing Palmar Court to eliminate the current conflict with Palmer Way. Staff would 'recommend option #1, changing Palmer Way to Faraday Avenue, to eliminate the existing conflict with the least amount of resulting confusion. Should the Commission choose to honor Ralph Palmer with a street, staff wou-ld then recommend option #2, that in addition to the change indicated'above, that Impala Drive would be changed to Palmer Way and Palmar Court changed to Corte Quinta Mar. 111.

BACKGROUND As noted in a memo to the Planning Commission on February 24, 1982, the Planning Departinent has noted a conflict between Palrrier Way, an industrial street north of Palomar Airport Road and east of El Carnino Real; and Palmar Court, a residential street in .La Costa, south of Arena1 Road and east of El Camino Real. Staff expresscd concern that the similarity in names might result in confusion for the Police and Fire Departments in responding to an emergency. Palmer Way aligns with Faraday Avenue, an industrial street being devel-oped as a part of Koll's Carlsbad Research Center (please see attached location map). As this will be a signalized inter- section, staff recoml:icnded that Palmer .Way be changed to Faraday Avenue.

Faraday Avenue was named for Michael Faraday, an English chemist and physicist. Directly across on the east side of El Carcino Real, the Palmer Way area is designated for animal names. .Although Faraday Avenue would not conform with this classification, staEf believes that due to the cxtrcniely short length of the road, and inconsistency of the present name, Palmer Way, that utilizing the name Faraday for clarity tiould not compromise the integrity of the street naming policy. Finally, staff does not believe that approval of the proposed Street Name Change would adversely impact businesses along Palmer Way. No businesses are currently addressed off Palmer Way. The three businesses along Palmer Way, Cablevision, Beckman Instru- ments and Sierracin Magnedyne, all derive their street addresses Overall, staff believes tha$.the proposed Street Name Change would not adversely impact the street naming policy or adjoining businesses and would eliminate an existing conflict of names. . from El Camino Real.
