RECOMMENDATION: Review Draft City Staff Procedure for Street Name Changes and review Resolution for Street
Name Change Policy. With respect to INCA request, refer proposal to change current street name of Martin Luther King Jr.
Boulevard to another name, to the Community Relations Board for review and recommendation of proposal to City
Commission.
EXPLANATION: The City Manager's Office received a request from the Inlet Cove Neighborhood Association, known as
INCA, to change the numbered streets to named streets. INCA is comprised of five separate neighborhoods located on the
east side of Federal Highway, north of Boynton Beach Boulevard, from NE 7th Avenue to Seaview Park. These
neighborhoods are Mangrove Walk, Harbor Estates, Coquina Cove, Yachtsman's Cove and Seaview Park. Of the 15 streets
within INCA, 6 are numbered while the remaining nme are named. The two neighborhoods that are affected are Mangrove
Walk and Yachtsman's Cove.
Staff comments are attached, as well as a draft policy for "Standard Street Name Changes or Vanity Street Name Changes".

Request by INCA (Inlet Cove Neighborhood Association) for Street
Name Changes
Summary of Recommendation: Review Draft City Staff Procedure for Street
Name Changes and Refer Item to City Attorney's Office for Preparation of
Resolution for Street Name Change Policy. With respect to INCA request, refer
proposal to change current street name of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to
another name, to the Community Relations Board for review and
recommendation of proposal to City Commission.
Please find attached a proposal from the City's Development Department for
outlining a possible City Commission Policy for street name changes. Before the
INCA proposal can be finalized, the City Commission may wish to review and
approve an overall policy statement in the form of a resolution. Such a resolution
would provide the staff and persons interested in requesting street name
changes with a standardized procedure.
Absent such a policy, the City staff has begun reviewing the request to change
several-specific street names based on the letter received from INCA dated June
22, 2000. Our review to date has been on the perspective of what would be
needed in the form of notification, identification and information to assure timely
response of emergency agencies and to assure that street name changes are
properly reflected on postal, emergency 911 and City and County mapping
resources. I am attaching a summary of the staff review to date on the request
by INCA.
With respect to the request to change Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to
"Pelican Walk" I cannot support this name change based on two key issues:
1. The decision to change the name of this particular street should involve
citizens of the community.
2. As outlined in the Fire Department review, with the name change, there
would be three separate identifications of the street in the community.
With respect to the first item above, I recommend that the City Commission
consider referring the item to the City's Community Relations Board to review
and evaluate the name change proposal for Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
The Community Relations Board is, in my opinion, an advisory board that could
assist the City Commission in addressing the issues related to the street name
proposal for Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. I have attached a copy of the City
Code, specifically Section 2-106 which describes the duties and functions of the
Community Relations Board.
Thank you.
