Background Information:
During an agenda item regarding the speed limit on this section of Hunter Road, City Council directed Staff to review the possibility of a street name change as a better transition into the West Hopkins Street residential area.
The City of San Marcos Transportation Division provided notice to all current residents and property owners of a public meeting held November 15, 2018. The meeting was not attended by any community members.
Staff has identified approximately 330 residents and property owners that will be impacted by address changes if the street name is changed.
Staff has received one letter against the proposed change from a resident at the Elysian apartment complex (formally Purgatory Creek Apartments). This resident states that he represents multiple residents at the apartment complex, but due to the holiday season he is having some difficulty providing a petition with signatures. The letter is attached in your packet.
