(A) All public and private streets shall be named. All street naming shall be subject to approval by the City Council. The street name shall not be a duplicate of a street name already in use within the city or within a six-mile radius of the city limits, even if the suffix (avenue, drive, and the like) is different, unless there is reasonable assurance that those so named street sections will be connected in the future. A court that comes off a street at a perpendicular may take that street’s name, but with a Court suffix.
(B) Public and private ways shall be further named as follows.
(1) Generally, north-south streets shall be designated Avenue.
(2) Generally, east-west street shall be designated Street.
(3) Streets designated Avenue or Street shall retain that same suffix for the entire length of the street, regardless of any changes in direction. The suffix shall represent the general direction of the street.
(4) Arterial streets that are meandering or run diagonally to the north/south or east/west axis may be designated Road.
(5) Cul-de-sac streets without cross streets or intersecting streets shall be designated Court or Place.
(6) Small cul-de-sacs which consist of inlets off a street (eyebrows) shall retain the street name and be numbered as a straight portion of that street.
(7) Collector streets may be designated Drive. Local streets may be designated Way or Lane.
(8) A continuous loop street that has two intersections with the same street shall be designated Loop. A street that runs in a circle with only one entrance/exit shall be designated Circle. Loop or circle streets may have only one interior cross street, which shall have a different name than the Loop or Circle. Loop and circle streets shall have no streets intersecting the exterior of the loop or circle.
(9) Private streets (such as within a planned development) shall be designated Place.
