A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING STREET NAME
CHANGE DRC2002-00300 TO RENAME MILLER AVENUE TO CHURCH
STREET, AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF.
A. Recitals.
1. On May 9, 1990, the Planning Commission adopted a Resolution of Intent (Planning
Commission Resolution No. 90-57)to change the name of Miller Avenue to Church Street due to the
alignment of the two streets to form a continuous street system. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the
subject Street Name Change is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 22nd day of May, 2002, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing for the above-mentioned street rename
proposal, Street Name Change DRC2002-00300, pursuant to the City Municipal Code,
Chapter 12.12.
3. The Rancho Cucamonga Planning Division prepared a report, which addressed the
justification for the change.
4. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
B. Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved bythe Planning Commission
of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows:
1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals,
Part 'A" of this Resolution are true and correct.
2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-
referenced meeting on May 22, 2002, including written and oral staff reports, together with public
testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The City's Street Naming Ordinance establishes that streets,which are continuous
are to be extended in accordance with the present street name whenever possible and feasible.
Church Street and Miller Avenue are continuous streets and would connect at Etiwanda Avenue.
Therefore, to eliminate potential confusion when responding to emergency calls by the Police and
Fire Departments, renaming Miller Avenue to Church Street is necessary; and
b. That Church Street is planned to be extended from Day Creek Boulevard to
Etiwanda Avenue in alignment with existing Miller Avenue in association with the Victoria Gardens
Regional Center and American Beauty Development, both of which are approved projects; and
C. That this situation would create an unnecessary street name change, from Church
Street to Miller Avenue, along a continuous street system of approximately 5.5 miles which would
cause confusion to the public and would be in conflict with City Code Chapter 12.12.020.C; and
d. That changing the name of the segment currently designated as MillerAvenue(1.25
miles)to Church Street would cause much less disruption and expense than changing the segment
currently named Church Street (4 miles) to Miller Avenue.
