The proposed name; b. Rationale for naming the Street; c. Documented support from property owners/ residents who directly abut the unnamed street or local community members and/or organizations, and d. A map or an illustration, including major intersections of the unnamed street.

ASSIGNING A CEREMONIAL NAME TO A TOWN STREET: Assigning a ceremonial name to a street is symbolic and should be reserved for honouring individuals, events or organizations that have made a significant positive contribution to their local community, the Town of Coaldale, Alberta or Canada. Assigning a ceremonial name to a street needs to consider the impact of multiple signs on the street, the broader street network, and the public realm, to ensure that signage is not confusing to the public. A proposal to assign a ceremonial name to a Street is to be made by written request and at minimum is to include: i. The Street proposed for the ceremonial name; ii. Rationale and significance of the proposed name; iii. Relevance of the proposed name to the Street, community and Town; iv. Documented support from the local community, including but not limited to petitions and support letters; and v. A map or an illustration, including major intersections of the Street. The proposed name will be considered by Town Council in accordance with the criteria set out in this Policy. If the proposed name complies with this Policy, the Town will provide public notice on its intention to assign a ceremonial name and the proposed name in compliance with the Town’s Public Participation Policy. In circumstances, where a specific Street or location is not identified, Infrastructure Services will provide Street location options in a report to Council. Statement from senior town planner: "We do not have a 'name bank' as such. Historically, western settlements have adopted the simple numeric naming formula (i.e. 1st Street/Ave, 2nd Street/Ave, etc). This naming convention aligns very well with the grid system street network that is the prevailing urban development pattern for prairie communities. Typically the numbering will be centred on a main thoroughfare which was often the railroad. You can see this in many southern Alberta communities which have a 'Railway Avenue', 'Main Street' or 'Centre Street' that is usually located adjacent to the historic rail line. With regards to new development, our naming conventions are oftentimes tied to the specific subdivision. For example: the streets within the 'Parkside Acres' subdivision in Coaldale are 'Parkside Green', 'Parkside Drive', and 'Parkside Way'. Streets within the 'Cottonwood Estates' are named after different types of trees (i.e. Aspen Drive, Cedar Crescent, Elm Place, etc.). These names may be proposed by the developer, but must be ultimately approved by the Town Council. In terms of place naming, there are a few possible methods: - the place is named for a benefactor, donor or sponsor (i.e. Kinship Park for the Kinsmen Club of Coaldale) - the place is named by the developer when they plan a subdivision for the area (i.e. Cottonwood Park is within the Cottonwood Estates subdivision)'"

Coaticook1.2 Objectifs La présente politique vise à : Mettre en valeur l’histoire et le patrimoine de la Ville de Coaticook par la dénomination de ses rues, de ses routes, de ses chemins, de ses bâtiments, de ses lieux et de toute autre entité géographique; Éliminer toute ambiguïté dans la dénomination afin d’assurer la sécurité reliée à la recherche d’une adresse civique pour divers services (ambulancier, policier, incendie, etc.). Développer le sentiment d’appartenance des citoyens par la dénomination; Établir une démarche respectueuse avant de procéder à une dénomination. 4.0 PROCÉDURE Toute requête de dénomination reçue par la Ville de Coaticook est acheminée au comité de toponymie. Le comité de toponymie analyse la demande et transmet, au besoin, sa recommandation au conseil municipal. Dans le cas d’une décision favorable par ce dernier, la résolution est transmise à la Commission de toponymie du Québec, qui officialise la nomination. Celle-ci entre en vigueur lors de la réception d’une réponse d’officialisation de la Commission de toponymie du Québec. La Ville achemine alors l’information aux services concernés (urbanisme, travaux publics, communication, culture, Poste Canada) Si la proposition ne peut être attribuée à court terme, elle est alors insérée à la banque de noms. 5.0 RÈGLES DE DÉNOMINATION Avant de choisir un nom pour un lieu donné, les aspects suivants sont examinés : La nature du lieu : voie, parc, place publique ou immeuble; les qualités du lieu à nommer : sa fonction, sa localisation géographique et son contexte, qu’il soit résidentiel, commercial, industriel ou culturel; l’histoire du quartier sur les plans urbain et social; la toponymie existante : afin d’éviter les doublons ou homonymes, et d’harmoniser les nouvelles désignations avec le patrimoine toponymique du secteur; le profil biographique de la personne dont la mémoire est honorée; l’importance de certains événements et leur impact social; l’association naturelle entre la personne, la communauté résidante concernée et le lieu à nommer 5.1 Critères fondamentaux La politique de désignation toponymique et odonymique doit permettre d’identifier le meilleur choix de toponymes en s’appuyant sur certains critères fondamentaux soit : Éviter les dénominations dépourvues de tout contenu culturel ; Tenir compte du contenu enrichissant qu’offre les noms issus de l’histoire et du patrimoine local ou national ; Éviter le choix d’un nom dont l’attribution pourrait provoquer une controverse ; Éviter les noms à consonance semblable (homonyme) ou doublons qui pourrait confondre le repérage par les services d’urgence ; Faciliter le repérage du lieu nommé ; Honorer une seule fois une même personne ; Exclure les noms de personnes vivantes ou décédées depuis moins d’un an ; Attribuer un seul nom officiel à tout lieu ou entité géographique. 5.2 Critères spécifiques Pour la dénomination des voies de communication (rue, chemin, sentiers) ainsi que des édifices municipaux, places publiques ou monuments, il est important que l’attribution d’un nom soit représentative du milieu historique, culturel ou communautaire. Ainsi, il est recommandé de fixer le choix sur les critères suivants : Favoriser le nom des personnes qui se sont particulièrement illustrées au sein de leur communauté ; Favoriser le nom des pionniers qui ont bâti la municipalité ; Favoriser le nom de l’ancêtre d’une famille ancienne ; Favoriser le nom d’une personnalité publique qui a apporté une contribution exceptionnelle au développement de la ville ; Éviter la nomination désignant seulement la fonction de l’édifice. Pour la désignation des parcs et espaces verts municipaux, dont les principaux utilisateurs sont les gens du milieu environnant, il convient de suivre les critères suivants: Premièrement, donner le nom de la rue adjacente au parc pour permettre un meilleure repérage de celui-ci par les usagers ; Deuxièmement, favoriser le nom de l’ancêtre d’une famille ancienne ayant habité dans le secteur concerné ou ; Favoriser le nom des personnes qui se sont particulièrement illustrées au sein de leur communauté dans le secteur visé, ou dans la municipalité.

PROCESSES 4.1 The naming of municipal parks, streets, and facilities and other municipal assets may involve a different process which will depend on the circumstances surrounding the request/requirement for naming. A. Naming a Municipal Street • The process for naming of new municipal streets shall occur as part of the final subdivision/development approval process and prior to the Town of Cobourg acquiring title to the lands as a road allowance. The process for re-naming an existing municipal street shall begin once the Town of Cobourg has received a written request which includes the background and rationale for considering the street name change, as per the criteria established by this policy. The Cobourg Planning Department receives a written request by the proponent or developer for a name(s) which includes the proposed municipal street name(s) and an explanation of the significance of the name. In the absence of a submission for consideration of a name by the developer or proponent, Planning Department staff will provide the Coordinator of Planning and Development Services with the names available for use as recommended by municipal staff for the specific municipal street(s). The proposed street name(s) will then be included in the Planning Departments report to Council as part of the subdivision/development final approval process or municipal street re-naming process as the case may be. • Conditions of property donation and/or property improvements or development as agreed upon by the donor/developer and the Town shall be honoured regarding the naming of the municipal street(s) subject to this policy and final approval by Council resolution. • Processing of an application for a municipal street name request involves confirmation criteria including; submission of relevant background justification by the developer or proponent, discussion with the developer or proponent, discussion with and review by Cobourg municipal staff, including emergency services, and the Cobourg Heritage Advisory Committee where deemed necessary (within the Heritage Districts), and consultation with the Council Coordinator of Planning and Development Services. The Planning Department shall inform the developer or the proponent if the name is known to conflict with existing street names or is otherwise unacceptable to any of the parties consulted and shall provide a reason why the name is not acceptable. Commemorative municipal street name(s) shall be the responsibility of the Planning Department and the Town of Cobourg. Where a request for a commemorative street name has been made, the name shall be evaluated through the criteria and evaluation process of this policy and the processing may include consultation with additional stakeholders as deemed necessary. B. Naming of a Municipal Park or Facility • The process for naming of municipal parks or facilities should begin when the Town of Cobourg acquires titles to lands or within twelve (12) months after the Town has acquired titles to lands and once the lands have developed into a park or facility. • Proposed park and facility names are either: 1. Specific to a particular park or facility site (as in the case of the development of a new park or the renaming of an existing park); or 2. Generic park or facility names not related to a specific site. • Where proposed names are site specific, staff shall undertake to weigh the significance of the proposed name against the policy guidelines for park or facility naming, as well as against those names contained in the parks name listing as maintained by the Recreation and Culture Division. • All requests for naming municipal parks or facilities are to be submitted in writing and by completing the Naming Application Form as attached to this policy as Schedule "A" to Cobourg Recreation and Culture Division and providing sufficient information as to how the proposed name satisfies the criteria pursuant to the policy. Adequate historical or descriptive information shall be provided to validate the proposed name, in order for Recreation and Culture Division Staff to have a clear understanding and appreciation for the request. In the absence of a submission for consideration of a name for a municipal park or facility, Recreation and Culture Division Staff will provide the Coordinator of Parks and Recreation Services the names as recommended by Municipal Staff for the specific park or facility. • Where proposed names are site specific, staff shall undertake to weigh the significance of the proposed name against the policy guidelines for municipal park or facility naming, as well as against those considered in the parks name listing inventory as maintained and updated by the Recreation and Culture Division. • Processing the application involves confirmation of criteria, discussion with the applicable town departments/external stakeholders, including emergency services, and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee in consultation with the Coordinator of Parks and Recreation Services. • Each application/nomination will be reviewed and evaluated initially by Cobourg Recreation and Culture Division Staff, and each application/nomination that meets the policy requirements will be submitted to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee for review. • The Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee shall review all applications and nominations for municipal park or facility names as forwarded by the Recreation and Culture Division. The Committee shall recommend a name to be forwarded to Council for approval by a committee motion based on the criteria as outlined within this policy. • When a name is recommended for approval, a report shall be drafted by municipal the Recreation and Culture Division Staff outlining the process that was conducted and the applications received containing the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee recommendation for the municipal park or facility name. • Once the recommendation is submitted, Council may approve the name through a formal resolution which will confirm the official naming of a municipal park or facility within the Town of Cobourg. The applicant that submitted the official nomination for the name will be notified of Council's decision. 5. COMMEMORATIVE NAMING 5.1 Where the commemorative naming of a municipal street, facility, or park, is being requested, only one of the following criteria shall apply: • the nominated individual shall have demonstrated excellence, courage or exceptional service to the citizens of the Town of Cobourg, the Province of Ontario, and/or Canada, including past Mayor's and veterans of military conflicts; • a direct relationship or association that existed between the place of residence and the community efforts undertaken by an individual and the property, building or element to be named; • an individual may be recognized for a significant financial contribution to a park or facility, where that contribution significantly benefits the community that the park or facility serves, in accordance with the Municipal Sponsorship Policy. 5.2 Where the name of an individual/organization is used, approval shall be obtained from the individual (his/her family) or the organization for such naming. 5.3 The names of municipal parks, streets, and facilities, as well as major elements of such municipal assets named commemoratively should not be changed unless it is found that the individual's personal character is or was such that the continuous use of their name for a park, street, or facility would not be in the best interest of the community. 5.4 The following criteria shall be used in determining the appropriateness of the municipal street naming designation: a) Person who served as a Mayor in the Town of Cobourg; b) Fallen World War 1, World War 2 and Boer War veterans (as endorsed by the Cobourg Legion); c) Fallen Canadian Armed Forces Service Personnel; d) A person, developer, group, or feature particularly identified with the land or a nearby facility; and e) Local names of cultural or historical significance, to the community (as endorsed by the Cobourg Heritage Committee). 6.

Quote from the city: “We informally use Airdrie’s street naming policy for neighbourhoods (which encourages the use of a neighbourhood theme and a variety of suffixes to denote the style of roadway such a cul-de-sac vs a main entrance, vs a crescent,etc) while having a numbered grid system in the traditional downtown. We do not have a name bank, but when asked we do partner with the Stockman’s Library (which is a local archival library), CHAPS (the Cochrane Historical Archival & Preservation Society) and our organization is slowly making more connections with the indigenous nations that abut our municipality to provide some options. Situated in the foothills in between Calgary and the Rocky Mountains, we are surrounded by and sit within significant natural landscape features that also offer plenty of name options. For the most part, new neighbourhood names are first offered by the landowner/developer and we go from there.”

Cocoa BeachCITY OF COCOA BEACH, FLORIDA POLICY FOR STREET NAMING APPLICATION PROCESS GUIDELINES AND INSTRUCTIONS PURPOSE AND SCOPE: All streets and public ways such as alleys within the incorporated limits of the City of Cocoa Beach, Florida, shall be named in the interest of the health, safety and welfare of all City residents. This policy has been established in an effort to enhance the understanding of the process for renaming existing named streets, for naming public ways such as alleys, for naming proposed public or private streets created for new developments within the City of Cocoa Beach. The City of Cocoa Beach Building Department is designated as the department responsible for the approval of all street names and individual site addresses. PROCESS FOR RENAMING EXISTING NAMED STREET An application for renaming an existing named street can be initiated at the request of any property owner(s) whose property abuts the existing named street or by the City Commission. An application fee in the amount of $250 shall apply. All costs including notices, mailings, sign changes, associated costs, in excess of the $250 shall be the responsibility of the applicant. Prior to an application being forwarded to the City Commission for review and consideration it shall be submitted to the Building Department and deemed sufficient. A completed application shall include the applicant’s contact information, location of the street to be renamed, proposed street name(s), request for street signage, and a notarized signature of the applicant, the applicable fee, and the signed petition form by property owners whose land(s) abuts the proposed renamed street segment. The applicant should contact the City’s Building Department, prior to formally submitting an application, to obtain a list of abutting property owners for use in gathering the necessary consent signatures. A separate narrative, which provides background and justification in support of the name change, shall be attached to the application. There is no specific content or form that is required for this narrative except that it should include information on the historical, cultural, political, or economic aspects of the proposed street name as they relate to the City of Cocoa Beach. The narrative shall be used by the City Commission in determining whether or not the application should be approved. The submitted application must include 75% of all abutting property owner’s signatures, even if they have no street number assigned frontage, before it can be accepted by the Building Department. A property owner’s signature is proof that they have considered the request and have no objections or concerns with the application for the street name change. Such signatures shall be given weight by the City Commission in reviewing the application, but need not be the only factor in determining approval or denial of the requested name. Requests for renaming existing named streets must be approved by passage of a resolution by the City Commission after conducting a properly advertised public hearing. The resolution must be noticed once in a newspaper of general circulation in the City, at least 10 days before the review and adoption. The notice shall state the date, time, and place of the public hearing; the title or titles of the proposed resolution; and the place or places within the City where the proposed resolution may be inspected by the public. The notice shall also advise that interested parties may appear at the meeting and be heard with respect to the proposed resolution. PROCESS FOR NAMING STREETS IN NEW DEVELOPMENTS Names for new public or privately platted streets created for new developments shall be reviewed and approved as part of the platting process pursuant to the City’s Land Development Code. Names for new roads in projects where streets are not platted shall be reviewed and approved as part of the building permit process. Where new streets are proposed the Building Department shall coordinate with the E-9-1-1 Administration Office and any other agency to ensure that the proposed street names are acceptable prior to the approval of a final plat or issuance of a certificate of completion for the project. NAME SELECTION The Building Department shall review all proposed street names with the Brevard County E-9-1-1 Administration Office to ensure that no proposed name is a duplicate of another existing street name or sounds too similar to an existing street name within the City of Cocoa Beach, or areas of Brevard County as required by the E-911 system. In all cases, potential street names can be verified before submitting the necessary applications for either process by calling the Building Department at (321) 868-3217. The following criteria shall be followed when naming an existing or proposed street: 1. Duplicate names shall not be allowed. Use of a different roadway type does not change the fact that the name is a duplication. The exception to this policy will be using the same name but different roadway types within the boundaries of a platted subdivision. 2. Street names shall contain no more than twenty-one characters, not including roadway type. 3. No punctuation or special characters shall be used in roadway names. 4. Street names shall not consist of more than two words, not to include pre-directional or suffix indicators. Special exceptions may be approved by the City Commission for historically significant names. 5. The street name shall not contain any word that is a type of direction. 6. Street abbreviations and designation definitions shall meet the criteria established by the Brevard County E-9-1-1 Administration Office. 7. Names of living persons should be used only in exceptional circumstances to acknowledge significant social, and political contributions made to the community for periods in excess of 50 years. 8. The proposed name cannot segment a street, when the segmentation is not created by a natural landform or waterway. 9. No slang, racist, derogatory names, or names that are deemed offensive will be accepted on any application. 10 No street name can duplicate a name of an existing subdivision, unless the street is within that subdivision. 11. Approval of street names on a Preliminary Subdivision Plat will not reserve the street name, nor shall it be mandatory for the City of accept it at the time of final platting. COORDINATION WITH OTHER AGENCIES It is important that all applications, whether for existing street name changes or for naming streets in new developments, be coordinated through all government agencies/departments or private providers that could be affected. At a minimum this shall include the U.S Postal Service, Brevard County E-9-1-1 Administration Office, other City Departments, utility providers and any other agency that may be affected on a case by case basis. All agencies or departments shall be given the opportunity to provide input, which shall be used by the City Commission to assist in making its decision on the application.
