B. Any proposed name change must meet the requirements of AMC 13.24.010.

1. Notice of the public hearing shall be mailed to the owners of property fronting the street and the fire, police and community development departments.

2. The scope of the hearing shall be limited to the change of the street name.

3. No recommendation for a name change shall be made unless the council finds that a public need for the change exists, confusion will be eliminated, or it is desirable for the convenience of the general public. The council shall have complete legislative discretion to change the name of any street in the City.

D. Street name changes shall be made by resolution. (Ord. 2819 §§ 2, 3, amended, 1998)
