Title
Civic Addressing Options for Acheson
Proposed Motions
1. That GPC receive Administration's report identifying civic addressing options for Acheson as information.
2. That GPC advise Administration to proceed with a non-grid / named based roadway system, and to bring forward an updated Addressing / Street Naming Bylaw to Council for consideration as well as administrative process / policy standards for use by the County's Addressing Authority for implementation in Acheson.
Body
Administration Recommendations
Administration is of the opinion that Option 4 (Non-Grid / Named Roadways system consistent with other urban areas found in the County) be implemented for the Acheson Industrial Area. Administration also supports other addressing options that are presented in the attached report. If a system based entirely on road names is preferred, it is recommended that GPC request that Administration prepare options for the makeup of a Naming Committee and that information be presented to GPC at a later date for consideration.
Purpose
To meet the requirements of Canada Post, and to accommodate future industrial and commercial growth in Acheson, a new civic addressing system for this area of the County is required to replace the the current rural addressing system.
Summary
To accommodate existing and future commercial / industrial growth in Acheson an updated civic addressing system is required from the current rural address system.
In the Acheson area (industrial/commercial area only), a new civic addressing system is required to replace the current rural addressing system due to:
1) Suite/Lot Address numbering limitations that impact mail service;
2) Multi-access points into Acheson;
A number of options for an updated civic addressing system are presented in the attached Administrative Report for consideration.
