In January of 1998, Council adopted the Street Naming Policy allowing all property owners to suggest names for consideration by the Development Services Department. The purpose was to ensure a consistent procedure is used in the naming and renaming of streets throughout the City, and to provide guidance as to what types of names were acceptable. This request is to change the name of a private street located between Rimbach Road and Leona Lane, west of Pomerado Road, from Leeds Lane to John Paul Lane. A total of three lots have access off of this private street. The applicant has built single family homes on each of the lots. The applicant owned all three lots until Apdl of this year when one was sold. A second lot is currently in escrow. The request is to change the name of the street as an honor to his son, who is severely handicapped, and is not consistent with the City's policy, which states that surnames of individuals are unacceptable. Where the merits of the request cannot be questioned, due to the applicant's delay in processing the name change request, it cannot be supported. The first two MDRA applications were submitted on March 12, 1999, more than a year after adoption of the City's Street Naming Policy. In June, 1999, after submittal of his building permit application, the applicant was advised that he needed to process a street name request as the name he submitted on the building permit applications had not been approved by the City and were contrary to City policy since he was using his son's name. In October of 1999, the applicant was again reminded by staff of the need to process the street name request. On April 1, 2000, the applicant contacted staff requesting addressing for one of the lots on which he was about to close escrow. The address was needed to connect services. At that time, Leeds Lane was selected and approved by the applicant, as he was the only property owner on the street and there was not enough time prior to the close of escrow, to request Council approval of John Paul Lane as the name. On April 14, 2000, the applicant submitted an incomplete name change request as it did not provide written justification of the request or a letter of support from the owners of the lot he had sold in April. The required information was received June 1,2000, along with a letter of opposition from the other property owner. For these reasons, staff is recommending denial of the request. 6998 Page 6 - CITY OF POWAY - July 18, 2000 The following people were present wishing to speak: Mark Slepikas, 13251 Leeds Lane, spoke in opposition to the request citing the establishment of Leeds Lane as their permanent address on all legal documents and personal records. John Munos, 13837 Terrilee Drive, applicant, spoke in support of his request. Motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember Rexford, to adopt Planning Resolution No. P-00-55, entitled, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Poway, California, Approving Street Name Change 00-01 ," with the added condition that pdor to the name change being effective, the applicant shall reimburse reasonable costs resulting from the name change to the two existing homeowners on Leeds Lane. The determination of the reasonable costs shall be to the satisfaction of the City Manager. Motion carried 3-2 with Councilmember Goldby and Deputy Mayor Higginson voting "no." 4.1 (1503-22) YOUTH ATTENDANCE ANNUAL CONFERENCE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES Staff report by City Manager Bowersox.

Staff is recommending that 3 to 4 youths from the Teen Recreation Club or Teen Issues Committee be selected to participate in one day of the conference.
