HomeMy WebLinkAboutORD 2006-67 - Renaming RR2243 & E.SH29An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Georgetown, Texas, Renaming a
portion of Ranch Road 2243 to "Leander Road "; Renaming a portion of East State
Highway 29 to "East University Avenue "; both of which were previously annexed
into the City of Georgetown and continuing the naming convention for those
roadways in the City Limits of the City of Georgetown; repealing conflicting
ordinances and resolutions; including a severability clause; and establishing an
effective date.
Whereas, on January 24, 2006, the City adopted an ordinance establishing a uniform
addressing and street naming policy for the City; and
Whereas, due to annexation of areas that include portions of RANCH ROAD 2243 Right of
Way, the continued use of the name "RANCH ROAD 2243" on the newly annexed portion is
inconsistent with the City's street naming policy;
Whereas, due to annexation of areas that include portions of EAST STATE HIGHWAY 29
Right of Way, the continued use of the name "EAST STATE HIGHWAY 29" on the newly annexed
portion is inconsistent with the City's street naming policy;
Whereas, the City Council of the City of Georgetown finds that it is in the public's best
interest to resolve these inconsistencies by assigning names to the subject streets in a manner
consistent with the City's street naming policy.
