CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION

 

RESOLUTION NO. 151-07

 

A RESOLUTION RENAMING GLENWOOD AVENUE BETWEEN 5TH STREET AND 7TH STREET TO TIGER AVENUE

 

Recitals

The request for this street name change comes from the Grand Junction High School Senior class. Known as the “Mighty Tigers” the mascot is the source of school pride and spirit. All business owners adjacent to this portion of Glenwood Avenue have

signed a petition in favor of the street name change. There are no residences along this

portion of Glenwood Avenue. No properties are addressed off this portion of Glenwood

Avenue so no address changes will occur. The name change will reflect how the

students feel about their school and will show their source of pride. The Grand Junction

High School has been located at this property for 51 years and has no intention of

vacating the property. Therefore, this would be a permanent name change that will help

to better associate the location of Grand Junction High School.

 

Section 6.2.B.6 of the Zoning and Development Code states a street naming system shall be maintained to facilitate the provisions of necessary public services and provide more efficient movement of traffic. For consistency, this system shall be adhered to on all newly platted, dedicated, or named streets and roads. Existing streets and roads not conforming or inconsistent to the addressing system shall be made conforming as the opportunity occurs.

 

The proposed name changes will not impact adjacent land uses or neighborhood stability or character. In fact it will enhance the character of this area as it is well known and has been well established as the Grand Junction High School.

 

The proposal is in conformance with the goals and policies of the Growth Plan and requirements of the Zoning and Development Code.

 

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO:

 

That Glenwood Avenue between 5th Street and 7th Street, as described in this resolution is hereby changed to Tiger Avenue.

 

ADOPTED AND APPROVED THIS 5th day of November, 2007.
