(A) The Planning Commission or the department of public safety communications upon recommendation to the Planning Commission may initiate the change of name of any street or road within the county:
(1) When there is duplication of names or other conditions which tend to confuse the traveling public or the delivery of mail, orders or messages;
(2) When it is found that a change may simplify marking or giving of directions to persons seeking to locate addresses; or
(3) Upon any other good and just reason that may appear to the department of public safety communications or Planning Commission.
(B) The Planning Commission shall publish in a newspaper of general circulation in the county, a notice of a public hearing on the proposed change, not less than 15 days before the public hearing, and the Planning Commission shall conduct a public hearing on the proposed change of name. If the name of the street or road is changed by the Planning Commission, it will issue a certificate designating the change, which certificate shall be recorded in the office of the planning department and in the office of the clerk of court for the county, and the name so changed and certified shall thereafter be the legal name of the street or road. Written notice of the change shall be given by the department of public safety communications or the planning department to every property owner on the affected street or road.
