Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:

Adoption of Chapter 18.16 of the Mendocino County Code, granting the Planning & Building Services Department authority over private road naming and addressing.  Chapter 18.16 was most recently updated in December 6, 2016 by Ordinance 4370.  On February 4, 2020 the Board of Supervisors directed staff to work with the Fire and EMS Sustainability Ad Hoc Committee to update and streamline the road naming process for public safety purposes.                     

 

Summary of Request

The Mendocino County Planning and Building Services Department is responsible for creating and maintaining the Master Grid and Property Numbering System used to assign physical or ‘situs’ numbers to parcels in the unincorporated areas of the County.  The primary purpose of this responsibility is to coordinate the application of emergency services when needed, as well as to maintain an organized file system within the Department based on property addresses.  In addition, the Department is also tasked with processing road name petitions filed by property owners, or filing petitions on the County’s behalf when the need arises.

 

A complaint from a neighborhood resident about addressing inconsistencies and errors in this area was received by the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office on April 14, 2020, and forwarded to the Department for possible action.  Following the direction given by the Board on February 4, the Department has submitted a petition to adopt the name Casparado Way for the private road serving these parcels.  The road name was suggested by the community itself and has support from a majority of residents.  See attached maps for this road name.

 

Alternative Action/Motion:

1)                     The Board of Supervisors rejects adoption of the proposed road name, leaving the existing road unnamed.  Addresses will remain assigned as Caspar Orchard Road and Fern Creek Road.

2)                     The Board of Supervisors adopts a different name for the road, naming it ______________, and directs staff to assign the proper addresses.
