FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Consider a request for a street name change from Morrison
Street to Sonny Perkins Street.
FILE: 693-OB
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of this request.
The Planning Division has received a petition to rename Morrison
Street to Sonny Perkins Street. This street is located in the
Charlton-Pollard neighborhood, between Stanton and Bradley.
Seventy-five percent of the property owners abutting Morrison Street
are in favor of the request.
The petition states that Sonny Perkins is a life-long resident of
Beaumont who has lived on this street for 70 years. The petition
further states that Mr. Perkins has cared for most of the residents in
this area, especially in their times of need. The residents on Morrison
Street want to honor Mr. Perkins for his commitment to the
community.
The Street Naming Policy states that the proposed street name will:
have historical or other special significance if the person, entity
or event has made specific contributions to the cultural,
economic, social, religious or political heritage of the city;
not have the same or similar name or phonetic sound of any
other city street;
be for a complete street or continuous street; and
not represent a commercial endorsement.
Exhibits are attached.
