previously given to a street or avenue.

Avenues east of Avenue A shall
be given the names of trees in alphabetical order until the alphabet
has been completed. Thereafter, the process shall be repeated as many
times as is necessary except that if tree names are exhausted other
plant names may be assigned so that no street shall ever be given
a name which has been previously given to a street.
(3) Avenues west of University Avenue.
Avenues west of University
Avenue shall be given names of cities in alphabetical order until
the alphabet has been completed. Thereafter, the process shall be
repeated in the same sequence without giving any street a name previously
given to a street.

When any area has been brought within the corporate limits of

ways becoming streets or avenues of the city they shall be and/or
hereby designated by name and number according to their location abutting
the official street-naming plat adopted by this article.
(Ordinance 924, sec. 11, adopted 7/14/1949; 1983 Code, sec. 24-37)
(a) Purpose.
The purpose of this section is to establish
uniform criteria and procedures, applicable to all persons, groups,
firms, and agencies, for the honorary designation of a city street.
This section does not authorize the change of official city street
names except for an honorary designation of a street as provided herein.
(b) Criteria.
An honorary designation of a street must meet
the following requirements:
(1) The proposed name must honor either:
(A) A deceased person who lived in Lubbock, Texas; or
(B) An historic site, event or occurrence with a direct and unique connection
to Lubbock, Texas.
(2) No honorary designation shall be implemented for the purpose of advertising
or promoting any commercial or business enterprise.
(3) The proposed name must reflect or represent Lubbock, Texas in a significant
and positive manner in a field of government, education, medicine,
athletics or the arts.
(4) The sign indicating that the street is the subject of an honorary
designation shall be brown in color with white lettering and shall
be placed on the same pole upon which the official street name sign
is affixed. The sign, however, shall not be placed on the pole if
more than four signs are already on the pole.
(5) The honorary designation may apply to either alphabetical or numerical
streets and must have a logical and orderly beginning and termination
point, such as, a major intersection, park or playa lake.
(c) Application for honorary designation.
An application
to establish an honorary designation of a city street may be filed
with the city engineer when it is accompanied by a petition approving
the proposed honorary designation signed by more than sixty-five (65)
percent of the owners of land abutting the street for which an honorary
designation is proposed. Application and petition forms shall be provided
by the city engineer’s office. The application shall contain
the following information and comply with the requirements below:
(1) The current official street name.
(2) The proposed honorary designation, which shall meet the policy guidelines
and criteria of this section.
(3) The name, address and telephone number of the person, persons, corporation,
association, group or entity proposing the honorary designation.
(4) The name, address and telephone number of one person with authority
to represent binding commitments and take official action relative
to such honorary designation on behalf of the proponents.
(5) The reason(s) for the requested honorary designation.
(6) A nonrefundable application fee of two hundred dollars ($200.00)
is required with the application for the administrative costs of processing
the application and shall be paid to the city engineer at the time
the application is submitted.
(7) The costs of making and installing all the necessary signage for
the honorary designation shall be paid by the proponents. The traffic
engineer shall compute the costs of the making and installation of
the signs and provide the amount of the costs to the proponents. If
the city council approves the honorary designation, the proponents
shall pay the full amount of the costs to the city engineer prior
to the making of any of the necessary signs.
(8) In no event may the fee and costs set forth in subsections
(6) and
(7), above, be waived.
(d) Review of proposed honorary designation.
Following receipt
of a completed application and petition, the city engineer will review
the application and petition and, if both the application and petition
conform with the requirements of this section, the city engineer shall
forward the application and petition to the planning and zoning commission.
The planning and zoning commission shall conduct a public hearing
to receive public comment on the proposed honorary designation, which
hearing shall be held not more than sixty (60) days from the date
of filing of the application. The city engineer’s office shall
notify all abutting property owners, as ownership appears on the ad
valorem tax rolls, of the time and date of such public hearing. Written
notices of such public hearing shall be given not less than ten (10)
days before the day set for such hearing. Following the public hearing,
the planning and zoning commission shall make a recommendation with
regard to the proposed honorary designation to the city council. If
the planning and zoning commission recommends denial of an honorary
designation, the action of the planning and zoning commission is final
unless the applicant files a request for appeal to the city council
within ten (10) days of the hearing at which the action was taken.
The request for appeal must be in writing and must be submitted to
the director of planning. The director of planning shall schedule
a city council hearing on all applications for an honorary designation
in which the commission recommends approval and in all applications
in which the commission recommends denial if an appeal is requested
in accordance with this section.
(e) Consideration by city council.
The city council shall
consider the recommendation of the planning and zoning commission
and a public hearing shall be required. A notice of the time and place
of such hearing shall be published once in the newspaper of general
circulation in the city at least fifteen (15) days prior to the hearing.
The favorable vote of seventy (70) percent of all members of the city
council is required for approval if the planning and zoning commission
has recommended denial or if the owners of twenty (20) percent of
the property abutting the street oppose the honorary designation.
(f) Implementation of approved change.
In the event that
the city council approves the honorary designation, the city traffic
engineer shall install the signage in accordance with this section.
(g) Correction of errors.
Changing street names to correct
errors or omissions or to make necessary changes to bring street names
into compliance with the current method of street naming is exempt
from the provisions of this section.
