Following the adoption of this chapter, no new streets will be permitted to acquire the same name and be distinguished solely on the basis of prefix designation, unless they qualify under the following conditions:

A. The prefix designation, if applicable, takes precedence over a suffix;

B. The prefix designation is meant to distinguish two identically named streets which have been divided by some geographical barrier, obstacle, natural formation or other topographical feature, such that the street surrounds a lake or divides to parallel a river on each bank. Streets which separate to surround or encompass man-made divisions such as city blocks must acquire separate names, and will not be permitted to be distinguished by prefix designation alone;

C. A “west” prefixed street name must be complemented by a corresponding “east” prefixed street;

D. A “north” prefixed street name must be complemented by a corresponding “south” prefixed street;

E. Numbered streets shall have no prefix. Numbered streets that divide for any reason must be numbered in accordance with Section 13.44.100 and may not be distinguished by prefix. (Prior code § 13.06.090.)
