RESOLUTION NO. 323
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF SEAL BEACH RECOMMENDING TO THE CITY
COUNCIL THE RENAMING OF BAY BOULEVARD FROM
ELECTRIC AVENUE TO THE SAN DIEGO-GARDEN GROVE
FREEWAY TO "SEAL BEACH BOULEVARD".
WHEREAS, In the matter of the proposed renaming of Bay Boulevard, the Planning
Commission of the City'of Seal Beach does report as follows:
1. Subject proposal was initiated by the Planning Commission following a request
from the City Manager to investigate possible changes of street names.
2. Proper legal notices were posted in required locations to consider changing
the name of Bay Boulevard to Seal Beach Boulevard on April 2, 1969.
3. Public hearing for subject proposal was held on April 16, 1969, continued to
May 21, 1969, and closed on that date.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission findings are as follows:
1. A number of written communications were received. Several requested that the
name of Leisure World Boulevard be considered for all or part of the street
to provide location and identification for the retirement community. One letter
requested no change since the name was established and known. Several letters
requested that the name be changed to Seal Beach Boulevard because this is the
major thoroughfare connecting all environs of the city and would provide
citywide identification.
2. Oral comments were made at the public hearing supporting the name of Seal
Beach Boulevard as well as the name of Leisure World Boulevard.
3. The proposal for Leisure World Boulevard seemed to be based on the need for
identification and directional signs. The City Engineer has requested the
installation of directional signs indicating LEISURE WORLD - SEAL BEACH, with
appropriate directions to exit ramp, east and west of Bay Boulevard on the
San Diego-Garden Grove Freeways.
4. Any change of street name should benefit all members of a community and the
name of "Seal Beach Boulevard" would best service this purpose.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City of Seal
Beach does hereby recommend to the City Council that the name of Bay Boulevard from
Electric Avenue to the San Diego-Garden Grove Freeway be changed to Seal Beach
Boulevard to provide better city identification for all areas of the city. In
addition, the Commission requests a joint meeting be held with the City Council to
consider renaming Los Alamitos Boulevard to Seal Beach Boulevard from the San
Diego-Garden Grove Freeway to the northerly city limits.
ADOPTED AND APPROVED this 21st day of May, 1969.
