(A) Public streets.
All public streets contained in any subdivision plat or development plan approved by the city must be named in conformance with the following considerations.
(1) New street names, not extensions of existing names, must not be duplicates of any existing street name located within the city or its exclusive extraterritorial jurisdiction.
(2) Existing street names must be used in those instances where a new street is a direct extension of an existing street or a logical extension (when the streets in question are not and cannot be physically continuous) thereof except in those instances where the existing street name is a duplicate street name.
(3) Street name suffixes such as court, circle, and loop should be designated on streets which are cul-de-sacs or in a configuration of a loop street. Suffixes such as boulevard, speedway, parkway, and expressway should be confined to designated major thoroughfares or local streets designed to handle traffic volumes in excess of normal neighborhood traffic generation. Suffixes such as highway or freeway must be used only to designate highways or freeways falling under the jurisdiction of the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation.
(4) Street name prefixes such as north, south, east, and west be used to clarify the general location of the street; however, the prefixes must be consistent with the existing and established street naming and address numbering system of the general area in which the street is located.
(5) Alphabetical and numerical street names must not be designed on any subdivision plat or development plan except in those instances where the street is a direct extension of an existing street with such a name and is not a duplicate street name.
(B) Private streets.
Street names will not be approved on any private street, driveway, or access easement shown on any plat submitted to the city for approval.
