Road Naming with Subdivision

A road name is required for any road that provides access to more than one lot, or to one lot with more than two buildings or more than four houses. Road names must be approved before a final subdivision map is recorded. Existing roads can be named or renamed through petition of a majority of the property owners located on the road.
