identity signs along I-5 and the Route 54 freeway interchange and can
incorporate new street names for the Bayfront at this time.

existing street names require recommendation by the Planning Commission and
adoption by the City Council . The proposed street names for the Bayfront have
been presented to the Planning Commission and Redevelopment Agency and are now
being presented to the City Council for review and adoption.

Meeting Date 1/21/86
The Planning Commission, at their meeting of January 8, 1986, held a public
hearing to consider the street name changes proposed by the Redevelopment
Agency. At this meeting, it was proposed and voted unanimously that the names
of these streets be accepted as submitted with the exception that "F" Street
be change to Laguna Drive instead of Lagoon Drive.
The proposed street names, as approved by the Redevelopment Agency, were also
submitted and approved by the Unified Port District and submitted to CalTrans
in order to advise them of street names that the City was considering.
DISCUSSION:
For some time the Redevelopment Agency has contemplated renaming the major
streets within the Bayfront Project Area to better reflect its emerging image
under the City' s redevelopment plans for the area. Since CalTrans is
currently in the process of revising its freeway signs along Interstate 5,
including the interchange with Route 54, substantial sums can be saved if the
new names are established now and incorporated into the CalTrans resigning
program.
A variety of names reflecting various themes were submitted to the
Redevelopment Agency, major property owners in the Bayfront, and the Chula
Vista Chamber of Commerce. The final Agency selections were submitted and
approved by the Port District on December 10, 1985.
City designation of new street names require a recommendation by the Planning
Commission and final adoption by the City Council . The Planning Commission
held a public hearing to consider the new street names on January 8, 1986. At
that meeting, it was proposed that the new name for "F" Street be Laguna Drive
instead of Lagoon Drive since the former name had more positive connotations.
Staff further researched the name "Laguna Drive" and found that there is a
street in Chula Vista named Laguna Street. The Fire and Police Departments
both discourage the naming of new streets similar to those already in
exi stence.
The recommendation of staff is that the street names presented above be
approved as the new street names for the Bayfront Redevelopment Project Area,
and that staff be directed to officially notify CalTrans of the name changes
for incorporation into their resigning program.
FISCAL IMPACT: In order to incorporate the new street names into the
CalTrans resigning program, the City has been recently advised by CalTrans
that the cost will be approximately $115,000. Funds for this program are to
be encumbered in the 1986-87 City budget.
