Planning and Development - Road Naming Procedures and Recommendations Susie Morris, Planning and Zoning Manager, requested the Board consider allowing staff to proceed with using the adopted language in the County Code of Ordinances, along with General Statute 153A- 239.1, which permits road name changes without processing a petition. She advised this process would be used for road name changes that rise out of public safety concerns or reported dispatch conflicts. For name changes initiated by an individual or group of individuals residing along a particular street or road, she said, the renaming petition would still be required. She advised for new streets, street names would be created by the person filing the plat. She stated the naming of existing driveways to provide better emergency service response would be handled administratively. A discussion ensued. During discussion, Ms. Morris and Jonathan Marshall, Deputy County Manager, responded to questions from the Board.
