DATE: March 14, 2001 (CC Meeting of March 21, 2001)
SUBJECT: Consider Redesignation of Northsouth Street in Tract
5161 to Gisler Avenue and Liberty Bell Road to Leta
Yancy Road
BACKGROUND:
On April 5, 2000, the City Council named the new northsouth
street in Tract 5161 (Cabrillo Economic Development Corporation)
for Leta Yancy Sutton. She served as the City's first Mayor
after incorporation in 1983 and was previously involved in
numerous community activities.
DISCUSSION:
After this action was taken, it was pointed out that Gisler
Avenue was a dedicated but unbuilt street right of way (ROW)
extending from Los Angeles Avenue to the northern boundary of
Poindexter Park adjacent to Chaparral School. The ROW was
abandoned and became part of the Mission Bell Plaza commercial
development and Poindexter Park. The concept of extending such a
street from Los Angeles Avenue to Poindexter Avenue (and even as
an overpass across Poindexter Avenue and into Specific Plan No.
1) was rejected by the City in the late 1980's. Much of the
property in the area described above, including Tract 5161 (known
in the community as Gisler Field) was owned by the Gisler family.
There was some sentiment that the Gisler name should be used for
the subject street. Even Mrs. Leta Yancy Sutton said she felt
her long -time friends from the Gisler family should have the
family name remain on the street in that vicinity.

March 14, 2001 (CC Meeting of March 21, 2001)
I am proposing that the subject street in Tract 5161 be named
Gisler Avenue and that Liberty Bell Road be renamed Leta Yancy
Road. She was a proponent of the Villa Campesina project,
development of the Community Park (since named Arroyo Vista
Community Park) and siting of the pedestrian bridge across the
Arroyo Simi when she served on the City Council, so there is a
connection to the street that provides access to both the houses
and the pedestrian bridge leading to the City's community park.
Leta Yancy Sutton has been advised of this recommendation and
would not object to the redesignation. There are six homes (the
two directly north of Unidos Avenue are for sale and would be
demolished for commercial development in the future) that would
be affected by this action. The owners of the fronting properties
have been advised of this agenda item. Staff recommends the
change to the street names as described in this report.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Direct staff to proceed with the necessary steps to change
Liberty Bell Road to Leta Yancy Road and the northsouth street in
Tract 5161 to Gisler Avenue.
