Executive Summary The Council is requested to approve the three street names for the interior streets within the residential community currently under construction on the former Palo Alto Bowl site. The three street names are Cole Court, Brassinga Court, and Gene Court. The streets are named after police officers who died in the line of duty, and as supported by the Palo Alto Historical Association. The location of each interior street is as shown on the site plan, provided as Attachment A. Background On December 14, 2009, the Council approved a Record of Land Use Action and Tentative Map for a new mixed use project for a four-story hotel and 26 residential units at the former Palo Alto Bowl site located at 4301-4329 El Camino Real. Vehicle access to the hotel would be from El Camino Real, while the residential units (Monroe Place) would be accessed from Monroe Drive via the private street, Ryan Lane, leading to the interior streets as shown on Attachment A. No street names were provided for the interior streets as part of the original approval. Ryan Lane was approved as part of the Tentative/Final Map process. City of Palo Alto Page 2 City policy establishes procedures for the naming of City streets as set forth by Council Resolution No. 5739. Naming City streets shall be the responsibility of the City Council. The City shall refer the street naming to the Palo Alto Historical Association (PAHA) for suggestions of appropriate historical names. The approved names, indicating the recommended choice, shall then be submitted to the City Council and shall be placed on the consent calendar. In the event that a street naming is removed from the consent calendar, it may be referred to the Policy and Services Committee for additional review. PAHA Board Review The PAHA board met on May 1, 2013 regarding the three street names. The Police Department provided the PAHA with their interest in having the streets named for police officers who had died in the line of duty. The names of the three officers are: 1. Lester Cole 2. Gene Clifton 3. Theodore Brassinga The PAHA is recommending the last names of Cole and Brassinga be used for two of the three streets. For the third street there is already a Clifton street name in Palo Alto (no relation to Gene Clifton). In discussion with Police Chief Dennis Burns, he suggested using "Gene" for the naming opportunity. The PAHA accepted this change and as such is recommending the name of Gene be used for the third street. The PAHA approval letter is attached (Attachment C). The recommended names are: 1. Cole Court 2. Brassinga Court 3.
