RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE RENAMING OF
ANTOINETTE LANE NORTH OF CHESTNUT
AVENUE AS CIVIC CAMPUS WAY.
WHEREAS, on October 11, 2022, staff met with the ad hoc City Council Naming Committee,
comprised of Vice Mayor Nicolas and Councilmember Addiego, who supported a proposal that the
portion of Antoinette Lane that is north of Chestnut Avenue, which runs between the new Police
Operations building and the new Library I Parks and Recreation Center, be renamed Civic Campus Way;
and
WHEREAS, there is no legal requirement that the entirety of Antoinette Lane be subject to the
name change; the section of the street that is south of Chestnut, which runs between the Chestnut
shopping center and the new Summerhill residential complex, shall remain Antoinette Lane; and
WHEREAS, the rationale for the suggested street name change is to elevate recognition of this
very significant new civic building; contribute to place -making; and aid residents in locating the new
Council Chambers, and Library I Parks and Recreation Center; and
WHEREAS, changing the name of a city street is a simple two-step process in which the City
Council must adopt a resolution designating the new name of the street; and the City Clerk must send a
copy of the resolution changing the street name to the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors and
record the new street name with the United States Postal Service; and
WHEREAS, there are voluntary actions that the City may take to minimize inconvenience to
the people and businesses located on the renamed road which include notification of the US Postal
Service (USPS) of the street name change on behalf of all affected properties and USPS will forward all
mail to the affected addresses for a maximum of 18 -months, and the street name signage may retain the
former name of the street in a smaller subscript for a period of years to enable the community to become
accustomed to the change; and
WHEREAS, there are two apartment complexes along this section of Antoinette, with a total of
54 apartment units; residents and building owners will incur costs which include updating legal and tax
documents; changing passports, driver's licenses, and mailing addresses; and placing new numbers on
buildings; and
WHEREAS, staff mailed a notice on October 28, 2022, addressed to "Resident" to the 54
apartment units, and the two separate apartment unit owners, advising that the proposed change in street
name has been agenized for consideration at the City Council meeting of November 9, 2022, should they
wish to provide input; and

WHEREAS, there is no legal obligation to do so, but the City may voluntarily elect to provide
some form of financial reimbursement to the affected parties for costs incurred related to changing the
address on various documents; and
WHEREAS, staff is recommending that up to $500 per apartment unit, and $1,000 per
building owner, be paid to offset the costs of changing the address on the abovementioned documents if
proof of the change is provided. The proposed payments serve the public purpose of offsetting costs
incurred by individuals and businesses to update records to ensure that they reflect the new mailing
addresses; and
WHEREAS, changing the name of a portion of Antoinette Lane is exempt from review under
California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3)
because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that changing the name of a portion of
Antoinette Lane may have a significant effect on the environment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of South San Francisco finds
and determines that the foregoing recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein by reference.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council approves renaming the section of Antoinette Lane
north of Chestnut to Civic Campus Way and authorizes staff to take the necessary actions to accomplish
this change, including but not limited to filing a certified copy of this resolution with the Board of
Supervisors of San Mateo County and the United States Postal service and any other government agency
or utility to provide notice of the name change; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council authorizes payment of up to $500 per apartment
unit and $1,000 per building to offset the cost of changing the address of various documents, with funds
and a budget amendment to be requested as part of the 2022/23 mid -year budget process.
