All names and designations of public streets within the city officially named or if renamed, shall be designated according to the following rules and regulations:
A. East-west streets shall be designated as "avenues" and, where feasible, shall be designated with a number based on the present grid system rather than designation by name. Extensions or links of any east-west avenues shall bear the designation of the avenue of which it is a projection.
B. All north-south streets shall be designated as "streets" and shall, as in the case of avenues, be numbered where they are extensions of the existing system or conform to the numbering system.
C. Streets in a large development which do not run north, south, east or west, but on a diagonal or meandering line, shall be designated "drives" if they serve as major or collector streets within the tract.
D. Minor streets not following the grid east, west, north, or south shall be designated as "ways."
E. Cul-de-sac or dead-end streets shall be designated as "court" when they are not the extension of an existing street, avenue, drive or way.
F. A so-called circle street or one which returns to the street at each end shall be designated as "circle."
The provisions of subsection A of this section shall not apply to those streets in the Sutter Grant to the city designated by letters of the alphabet or the extension of such streets east of Alhambra Boulevard. (Prior code § 38.01.013)
