A RESOLUTION RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO,
77-506; DATED JUNE 16, 1977, AND C0:•it-iIS-
SION POLICY 2100-1 CONCERNING THE NUMERI-
CAL QUADRANT SYSTEM FOR STREET NAMES BY
REVISING COMMISSION POLICY CONCERNING
REQUESTS TO THE CITY COMMISSION FOR i
CHANGING STREET NAMES OR DESIGNATIONS IN
THE CITY OF MIA.�II; AND DIRECTING ADMINIS-
TRATIVE IMPLEMENTATION.
WHEREAS, the City Commission and the Administration
have received many requests to change the names of streets
in the City of Miami; and
WHEREAS, the Commission established its policy in
Resolution No. 77-506 dated June 16, 1977, and Commission
Policy Statement 2100-1; and
WHEREAS, the Commission discussed its policy on Septem-
ber 23, 1982, with a view toward revising said policy;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA:
Section 1. Resolution No. 77-506 dated June 16,
1977, and Commission Policy 2100-1, concerning the numerical
quadrant system for street names, are hereby rescinded.
Section 2. The Commission hereby makes and declares
the following policy statement:
The City of Miami has adopted and used,
with few exceptions, the numerical quad-
rant system for street naming since
1920, as described in Chapter 54, STREETS
AND SIDEWALKS, ARTICLE IV, NAMING OF
STREETS AND NUMBERING OF BUILDINGS, Sec-
tions 54-75 through 54-85 of the Miami
City Code. This system is readily under-
stood by the public and affords visitors
a means of easy reference for quickly fj
determining their location and finding
CITY COMMISSION '
MEETING OF
- OCT, 3 1982
their way through the area. This system
is widely used through the country for ti
these reasons.
The City Commission, taking cognizance of
these facts and not wishing to incre-
mentally weaken this highly regarded and
useful system, notes the following
additional reasons for establishing its
policy that the numbered street system
should not be degraded:
1. Street name changes will cause
confusion and delays in public
agency response to police and fire
emergencies by receiving faulty or
confusing descriptions of the loca-
tions of those emergencies.
2. Street name changes are not in
concert with the intent of the
long-established numerical quadrant
system.
3. Street name changes can cause con-
fusion and delay to the motoring
public and to commercial delivery
people in delivering goods 'and '
providing services to the general
public.
4. Financial investments' for both
businesses and private parties in
stationery, telephone listings, and
other address -related items are
jeopardized if subject to street
name changes. '
83"'4 71
The City
Commission will consider three alter-
natives to re -naming streets in the following
order of
preference:
1.
Marker, by which a plague or sign
bearing a designation is mounted
separately on a stone or post in the
right-of-way.
2.
Plaza, by which only the intersec-
tion of two streets is designated.
This designation is to be mounted on
the post under the street signs at
the intersection.
3.
Co -designation, by which a numbered
street receives an additional desig-
nation under the numbered street on
the street signs. The Police and
Fire Departments and U.S. Postal
Service will be notified of co -de-
signation.
The Commission will consider proposals for
street
designations using the following cri-
teria:
1.
Named streets, e.g., in Coconut
Grove, will not be changed where
there is an historical tradition
attached to the existing name.
2.
Named streets will not be co -desig-
nated because' of the resulting
confusion.
3.
Numbered streets will not be co -
designated for merely commercial
purposes.
4.
Numbered streets will only be co-
Z
4
3
�__c�L
designated if there is significant
historical, neighborhood or com-
munity benefit to the co -designa-
tion.
Upon receiving a request pertaining to street
designations, the Commission will refer the
request to the administration for the recom-
mendation of the Plat and Street Committee and
the Planning Advisory Board.
Section 3. The Administration is directed to sub-
stitute this policy in the City Commission Policy Manual as
Policy 2100-1 (revised).
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 28th day of October 1982.

Street Name Changes
ZI
U Roarigud Director
Planning Department
Because of the interest in the past history of street name
changes, this memorandum has been prepared to show past
City (and other agency) actions.
1. Proposed Street Name Chances Presented to the Planninq
Advisory Board
(The City Commission established a policy on street
name changes by Resolution 77-506; June 6, 1977.)
N.W. 12th Avenue, between N.W. 62nd Street and N.W. 71st
Street was proposed to be changed to "Bulls Boulevard"
by students at Northwestern High School. The Planning
Department recommended denial, but also recommended
approval of posting signs at the four corners of the
one block containing Northwestern High as "Bulls Square."
The PAB recommended approval of dual designation of
Bulls Plaza for the block on May 4, 1977. The City
Commission gave approval of Bulls Plaza dual designation
by Resolution 77-507 on June 16, 1977.
S.W. 27th Terrace "A" in Coconut Grove was a one -block
street segment which was often confused with S.W. 27th
Terrace. One resident petitioned that it be re -named
to Bleier Street, after a deceased local recreation person.
The Planning Department recommended that it be renamed to
"SW 27th Way." The PAB recommended approval of SW 27th Way
on January 4, 1978; the City Commission approved SW 27th
Way by Resolution 78-147•on February 23, 1978.
The developer of Plaza Venetia petitioned for the dual
designation of the one -block segment of NE 15th Street
between North Bayshore Drive and Biscayne Bay (Venetian
Causeway) to be NE 15th Street/Plaza Venetia." The PAB
recommended denial on September 5, 1979. The City Commission
approved the dual designation by Resolution 79-726 on October
30, 1979. Only the developer's property and three commercial
properties have addresses on this block.

Planniraq Advisory Board
January 28, 1983
Students at Miami high School petitioned to have the
one -block segment of Sv; lst Street in front of Miami
High to receive the dual designation of "SW 1st Street/
Stingtown Boulevard." The Planning Advisory Board
recommended approval on March 5, 1980, and the City
Co-mmission granted the dual designation by Resolution
80-331 on May 7, 1980. only the High School has an
address on this segment.
f
Per City Commission Motion 81-850; October 7, 1981, and
Motion 81-1064; December 10, 1981, two street name changes
were referred by the Commission. N.W. 20th Street, from
N.W. 8th Avenue to N.1-1. 27th Avenue was proposed for the
dual designation of "N.W. 20th Street/Avenue of the Americas"
and N.W. 2nd Avenue from N.W. 29th Street to N.W. 36th Street
was proposed to be re -named Eugenio Maria de IIostos Boulevard.
The Plat and Street Committee and Planning Department recom-
mended denial on both items. By a 3-3 vote (constituting
denial) the Planning Advisory Board recommended denial.
By Resolutions 82-275 and 82-276; Play 25, 1982, the City
Commission approved dual designations of "N.W. 20th Street/
Boulev�,,rd of the Americas" and "N.W. 2nd Avenue/Eugenio
Maria de Hostos Boulevard" for both segments.
By Motion 82-673; July 22, 1982, the City Commission re-
ferred to the administration consideration of co -designating
"N.E. 69th Street between Biscayne Boulevard and Biscayne
Bay" as "N.E. 69th Street/Palm Bay Lane." Both the Plat
and Street Committee and the Planning Department recommended
denial. The Planning Advisory Board recommended denial by a
7-0 vote November 17, 1982, further substituting a recommenda-
tion that a marker be placed in the median inscribed "Gateway
to Palm Bay." The City Commission, by Resolution 82-1166;
December 16, 1982, approved the co -designation.
2. Proposed Street Name Changes Presented to Memorial Committee
Per City Commission Motion 82-190; February 25, 1982, the
City Commission requested the Memorial Committee to consider
re -naming N.W. 9th Avenue, from N.W. 14th Street to N.W. 18th
Street as "Bob hope Boulevard." The Memorial Committee
made a favorable recommendation. The Planning Department
recommended approval of a dual designation on the basis that
re -platting would create new diagonal rights -of -way to be
named "Bob hope Road" at the ends of this segment. By
Resolution 82-643; July 22, 1982, the Commission approved
dual designation of "N.W. 9th Avenue/Bois hope Road" between
N.W. 15th and N.11. 18th Streets.

January 28, 1983
3. Proposed Street Name Changes Presented to 'Plat and Street
Committee
The developer of Mayfair proposed to change the name of.
Diary Street to Mayfair Street; the Plat and Street Committee
recommended denial on December 3, 1980. A resident of Kent
Street proposed it be renamed to Baldwin Street, for one of
his relatives; the Plat and Street Committee recommended denial
on July 1, 1981. Both rer_uests died with no further action
taken.
4. Proposed Street Name Changes Presented to Cite Commission
S.W. 13th Avenue (south of S.W. 8th Street) was changed to
"Cuban Memorial Boulevard" by Resolution 73-88 on'February 8,
1973 (prior to PAB and prior to Commission policy).
N.W. 17th Avenue, between North River Drive and N.W. 79th
Street was proposed to be renamed "Athalie Range Drive"
and Grand Avenue, within the City of Miami, was proposed
to be renamed to "Theodore R. Gibson Drive." The Plat and
Street Committee recommended against both. The City Commission
took no action on April 23, 1981.
Other Actions
N.W. 36th Street (State Road 834) was designated as N.W. 36th
Street/Allapattah Boulevard to LeJeune Road and N.W. 36th Street/
Doral Boulevard west of LeJeune by the State of Florida.
Clarifying memoranda (attached) prepared by February, 1982, have
been offered by the Fire Department, Police Department and
Florida Power and Light which clearly state their viewpoint.
A letter from the United States Postal Service, dated November 10,
1982, is also attached.

In response to City Commission ?lotion 31-350 dated Octoher 7, 1921
considering, the des; -nation of '.T 11. 20th Street from N.W. 3th
Avenue to N.W. 27th Avenue to ca. - the additional designation of
"Avenue of the Americas", this ret :ed additional desi.gr.ation* by
itself .-ould not present a probl the Communications Unit of
the Police Department. Tlo.:ever, t ,nsultind with other ,me
b e r s of the Department, it is the .,sus of opinion that major
pro'.)ieMs would develop in the event that there are numerous
chin -es in our street numbering systen. Aron; these would be the
change in size of the street alias file, thereby causing the ne-
cassit_: to restructure and reload; also, a pro rar-ming change
would be necessary to prevent the numbered street data from 're-
placing the entered street data.
Perhaps these would be small in comparison to the possible hazards
that could result by the confusion of the field units getting
calls one time by number and the next time by name. It could lead
to ecerency service not being answered promptly. In addition,
city visitors used to a simple numhering systen as compared to the
varibus names, such as those used in Cora 'I Cables and certain
parts of Coconut Grove, could becomo easily confused.
It is the Department's recommendation that an alternate he uti-
lized rather than changing the existing manner of numbering the
street within the City.

Cear Mr. Cat! er.
Frc^ time to time, the issue of renam'.o. streets within the City
of ;1ia::i has ccme to our attention for cc,•,—:ent.
It is our recc,,mendation that such requests for ren;:~ing should
be denied because such changes create confusion to our service
and emergency cre„s. A departure from the established nu-me-rical
numl-jering system could lead our personnel to the va—ong location
where a timely response might be critical.
Please consider these needs, which echo those of your Fire and
Police Departrments, when these renaning requests core to your at-
tention.
• Sincerely,
G. J. Sanchez

Dear Sir:
Regarding your inquiry in September about the disadvantages of multi
Street ra.,.es for the same Street, a few observations are offered.
1. It 13 the duty and purpose of t11e Postal Service to
serve the public by delivering properly addressed
matter as quickly as is humanly possible.
2. Secondary Street namis do create a real deliver;,
and diotributicn problem for tY♦e Postal Service.
(EXAI•IPLE): When the public has the option of receiving their mail ad-
drosced in different ways for the sane location, (SW 8 Street or
Tariiw Trails several problems are created for the Postal Service.
Tarniami Trail is one of many alternate nacres for SW or SE 8 Street.
The public r;ould utilize the follewirg possible addresses for this
Street. The 100 block of 8 Streczt, could be designated as:
A. 100 Tamiarri• Trail
B. 100 Tamiami Road
C. 100 Calle Ocho or Calle 8
D. 100 S`rJ 8 Street
E. 100 SE 8 Street
In emaraples A, B, & C a delivery problem as well as a d4-Aribution
problem exists.
A. 100 Tamami Trail - Propove a letter is thus addressed with
no 'Lip Code.
1. Should the letter be delivered to SE Tamiard Trail
(Zip Code 33131) or SW Tamiard Trail (Zip Code
33130)'
2. Result is a 50150 chance of a mis-delivered letter
or possible return for a better address.

B. & C. 100 Taniaru Road/100 Calle Ocho/100 Calle 8 - These addresses
presents the sane problerl as A.
3. Zip Code use is not and never has been a requirement for the
delivery of mail, and the Postal Service must crake every
eA. .— to effect delivery whenever possible.
Without a Zip Code for 100 Tarniaru Trail, we would not be able
to knot•r where to deliver the riil.
4. The Postal Service cannot dictate to any local Government
Body what to call its Stroets, but as you can see, the public'
interest is rarely served by the creation of multiple names
for the same geographic Street location.
I truly feel that a dis-service to the public we serve, is created
by adding canes to existing St eets.
Yours truly,
