(A) Proposed street names shall be submitted to the Director of Public Works. The Director of Public Works shall determine the compatibility of the names with the provisions of this section and shall refer all names approved by him to the Commission for final approval.
(B) The following regulations shall apply to street names:
(1) There shall be no duplication or similarity with existing names of streets located within the Riverview Fire Protection District.
(2) The length of the name shall not exceed the capacity of a three foot street sign plate.
(3) In cases of subdivisions, a theme of names shall be encouraged to provide identity to the area and assist emergency responders.
(4) Streets may be named for public officials only when the public official no longer holds office.
(5) Streets named for persons shall provide only the person's surname, not a first name or middle initial. An exception may be made if approved by the Council for a person who has made a significant historical contribution to the city or the area; however the restrictions set forth in subdivision (4) of this division shall still apply.
(6) The Director of Public Works shall determine whether the designation following the name, such as “street,” “drive,” “avenue,” and the like, is appropriate for the type of street being named, realizing that arterials, collectors, local streets, cul-de-sacs, and others have appropriate designations.
