RE: PROPOSED NAMING OF A PUBLIC ALLEY IN THE BLOCK BOUNDED BY S LOMBARDY STREET, W MAIN STREET, S PLUM STREET, W CARY STREET AS “BLUEBERRY ALLEY”
ORD. OR RES No.
PURPOSE: To name a public alley in the block bounded by S Lombardy Street, W Main Street, S Plum Street and W Cary Street as “Blueberry Alley”, as shown enclosed in bold lines on a plan prepared by the Department of Public Works designated as DPW Dwg. No. N-29030, dated January 13, 2023
and entitled “PROPOSED NAMING OF A PUBLIC ALLEY IN THE BLOCK BOUNDED BY S LOMBARDY STREET, W MAIN STREET, S PLUM STREET, AND W CARY STREET AS “BLUEBERRY ALLEY”.
REASON: A revised letter of request dated January 12, 2023 from Lory Markham with Markham Planning on behalf of S&C Associates LLC, the property owner of 8 Rear South Plum St (Parcel ID No. W0000604055). The owner is planning construction of four multifamily dwelling units with frontage on along the subject alley. The necessity for the naming of the alley will allow any dwelling constructed on these lots to have a conforming address for utility and emergency services.
1
RECOMMENDATIONS: The Department of Public Works offers no objections to the proposed right- of-way naming and requests that any approvals be subject to, and including without limitation, the following terms and conditions:
1. The applicant(s)/owner(s)/successor(s) shall be responsible for any and all costs associated with the proposed naming of the alley, including without limitation, new or revised street name signs, etc., as required or directed by City Agencies.
2. A twelve (12) month expiration clause shall be included whereby all conditions must be satisfied by the applicant(s)/owner(s)/successor(s) within twelve (12) months of the ordinance adoption date and approved by the City before the ordinance can go into effect.
3. The applicant(s)/owner(s)/successor(s) shall be responsible for providing written notification to all abutting landowners of the proposed naming of the alley.
4. The applicant(s)/owner(s)/successor(s) shall satisfy all the policies, criteria, and procedure guidelines as stipulated within Ordinance No. 2004-35-64 adopted April 13, 2004.
BACKGROUND: The property owner of 8 Rear South Plum St (S&C Associates LLC) has received approval by way of a Special Use Permit (Ordinance No. 2021-365) for the construction of four multifamily dwelling units with frontage only along the subject alley. One of the conditions of the ordinance requires this alley to be officially named. Naming of the alley will ensure the safety of the residents and provide City services for any new dwelling an address that is both unique and descriptive. This will ensure that City services, such as trash pickup, utility distribution and emergency services, may be provided. The name choice has been approved by the Richmond Regional Planning District Commission (PlanRVA) using the “Street Name Clearinghouse Request” form.
Other reviewing administrative agencies were contacted regarding this naming and offered no objections.
The criteria and guidelines for submission, evaluation, approval and implementation of proposals for naming or renaming City facilities are described in sections 8-7 thru 8-10 of the City Code. Section 8- 10(5) requires the City Council to conduct a public hearing to review recommendations, suggestions and provide an opportunity for public comments from affected parties prior to any final action on a naming resolution. The application and information as submitted satisfies the current City Code requirements and criteria to allow consideration of this request for approval.
The applicant will be responsible for all costs of required signage denoting the alley’s name. The ordinance conditions will have to be satisfied in accordance with the Law Department’s review and acceptance of follow-up information provided by the applicant.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None.
REVENUE TO CITY: $300 application & processing fee.
