13-10-003-0001 Street Naming and Addressing

A.    The City of Flagstaff Engineering Section shall be responsible for assignment of addresses and for changing any conflict in an existing address or street name.

B.    Developers should select appropriate names for new streets; however, the Engineering Section will review any proposed street name to determine if it duplicates or conflicts with existing street names within the City or County or if it would otherwise cause confusion.

1.    This review takes place when the preliminary plat is filed.

2.    The City has a list of historical names, which may be used for street names. (Ord. 2017-22, Rep&ReEn, 07/05/2017)

B.    If a street is on the same alignment as an existing street, and is likely to be physically connected to that existing street in the future, then the new street shall assume the name of the existing street.

1.    If, because of topography or other development, it will not be possible to connect the new to the old street, then a new name should be assigned.

C.    A street name shall not be assigned to a cul-de-sac serving as access to fewer than six (6) dwellings if its end will be clearly visible when viewed by a driver from the nearest intersection. Lots on such a cul-de-sac will have addresses on the main street. (Ord. 2017-22, Rep&ReEn, 07/05/2017)
