to look into ways to effect
these street segments.
Of the original five (5) "Los Angeles" street segments, the
street name has already been changed for two (2) of those
segments [Los Angles Place to Virginia Colony Place and Los
Angeles Avenue to Princeton Avenue (effective January 1,
2005) ] . If action is taken to change the name of the subject
street segment, only Los Angeles Avenue and New Los Angeles
Avenue [State Route 1181 would remain.
B. Background
• In May of 2003, the City Council considered the subject
action and directed staff to explore with the City of Simi
Valley, the possibility of a joint effort, between the two
cities, to change the name of the subject street. That
inquiry was made. The City of Simi Valley stated that they
were not intersected in pursuing the matter.
• In September of 2003, the City Council referred the matter
to the Transportation and Streets Committee [Mayor ProTem
Parvin (acting as an alternate Committee member for
Councilmember Millhouse) and Councilmember Harper] for
consideration and recommendation.

• After some discussion, the Committee referred the matter to
the Homeowners' Association for the Vista Del Arroyo Mobile
Home Park, asking that the HOA poll their residents to
determine if there was interest and /or support for this
proposed action.
• At a meeting of the HOA in June of 2004, the Board took
action to request that the City consider changing the
street name.
• On July 7, 2004, the City Council considered the request of
the Villa Del Arroyo HOA, tentatively approved the street
name change to Arroyo Drive and directed staff to schedule
a public meeting to consider taking formal action in this
regard.
C. Arrovo Drive
The Villa Del Arroyo HOA has asked the City Council to change
the name of the subject street to Arroyo Drive (see Exhibit to
Resolution for a map of the affected street segment).
D. Street Names East of Collins
As previously discussed, the proposed street name change will
cause the name of this roadway between Collins Drive and
Madera Road to have three street names: Arroyo Drive, West Los
Angeles Avenue and Easy Street.
E. Other Options Considered
As discussed by the City Council at the July 7th meeting, a
number of other options had been considered, including the
following:

F. Fire Department Review
As discussed by the City Council at the July 7th meeting, the
Ventura County Fire Department was unable to "approve" the
choice of Arroyo Drive because the "root" word (Arroyo) is
used in street names in the cities of Simi Valley and Thousand
Oaks. As also discussed on July 7th, Fire Department approval
is not required and the choice of this name does not appear to
be a source of confusion in locating this street.
G. Authority
Section 34091.1 of the Government Code of the State of
California provides that the name of any street within a City
may be changed by adoption of a City Council Resolution.
H. Public Notice
A public hearing is not required in order for the City Council
to change the name of a street. However, consistent with past
practices, notice of this Public Meeting has been sent to all
affected residents, public agencies, emergency response
providers, the Post Office and Thomas Guide Maps.
I. Fiscal Impact
Costs would be minimal for changing the street name signs
affected by this action.
H. Resolution: Street Name Change
Attached as Exhibit 1 is a Resolution changing the name of the
subject segment of Los Angeles Avenue to Arroyo Drive. The
Resolution directs the City Clerk to forward a copy of the
Resolution to the County Board of Supervisors as required by
Section 34092 of the Government Code.
I. Effective Date
In order to ease transition
attached Resolution defers the
street name change to January 1,
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
to this new street name, the
effective date of the subject
2005.
