Chairman Caster and Commissioner Ward reported on the committee's
recommendation to name the Alta Mira park site. They discussed the history and
how the committee came up with the name "Poinsettia Community Park."
Mrs. Mona Reasons indicated that she supported the name "Poinsettia Community
Park" since she felt it was appropriate for the area, both historically and
geographically.
Mr. Bailey Noble stated that he heard at a homeowners meeting of 19
homeowners associations that they were going to recommend acceptance of the
name "Poinsettia Community Park."
The Commission discussed the following in connection with the name of the park:
• Concern that Poinsettia was closest to Aviara and not Alta Mira.
• More people identified with the Poinsettia exit at I-5 which is closest to
Alta Mira park.
• A suggestion that Paseo del Norte might be more appropriate due to its
location and Spanish name.
• The access way is at Poinsettia.
• Concern that in five years the name might be more appropriate for
another park.

In addition to the selection of a name for the Alta Mira Park site, discussion was
held with regard to the request to change the names of Poinsettia Lane and Hidden
Valley Lane to Poinsettia Parkway and Hidden Valley Parkway.
Topics discussed included:
• Fiscal impact of changing the names, such as those encountered when
changing Elm to Carlsbad Village Drive.
• Poinsettia Lane will not be a lane when it is extended.
• Overlays for signs could be used which would cost significantly less than
the cost for changing signs for Elm to Carlsbad Village Drive.
• Implications for postal services, fire departments, maps, etc.
• Concern whether Council will be willing to change the name of the
streets at this time.
ACTION: On motion by Commissioner Holmes, to take off the calendar
for sixty days to enable staff to determine the cost of changing
the signs.
