There is hereby established a uniform system of street naming and all streets, avenues and public ways established after the effective date of this chapter shall be named in accordance with the provisions hereof:

(a) All streets, roads and public ways running generally northerly and southerly shall be known as “streets”.

(b) All streets, roads and public ways running generally easterly and westerly shall be known as “avenues”.

(c) All streets, road or public ways running in a variable, curving or winding direction shall be known as “drives” or “roads”.

(d) All cul-de-sac or dead-ends, not a continuation of any of the above, shall be known as “courts” or “places”.

(e) No street established or named after the effective date of this chapter shall bear name in a language in conflict with the preceding provisions of this section, unless the proposed name change is to the historical name of the street, avenue, road or place, and the historical designation conflicts with subsections (a), (b), (c) or (d) of this section.

(f) The Board of Supervisors may adopt further designations or any additional rules and regulations which may be required from time to time upon recommendations of the Planning Commission by amending this Code section.

(g) All streets, roads and public ways established after the effective date of this chapter shall be known by the same name for its entire length, and where a street, road or public way changes direction of ninety degrees (90°) or more, each direction shall be known by a different name; provided that, where such exists on the effective date of this chapter, such name may continue to exist provided there shall be no further extension of the street, road or public way.

(h) Residents on private undedicated streets or roads may take advantage of the County House Numbering System and have their area included on the official maps provided a name is selected for their street or streets. Private streets shall be designated as “lanes”, and proposed names must be submitted to the Planning Department for checking as to possible conflict with existing names of public dedicated streets and roads.
