15.61.020 Assignment of Street Names to New or Unnamed Streets.
The City of Olathe Addressing Technician shall review all site plans prior to approval by the Olathe Planning Commission and shall review all plats prior to their being recorded. Street names are critical elements of site plans and plats; street names on approved site plans and plats may not be changed in any way without the written approval of the City of Olathe Addressing Technician. Site plans and plats must contain all proposed street names (including directionals and street type) and should conform to the City of Olathe Addressing Guidelines, which are on file at the GIS Division and are hereby adopted for use in the City of Olathe.
(A) For the area designated as the Historic Olathe Addressing Grid:
(1) The Historic Olathe Addressing Grid is hereby bounded by North/South Lakeshore Drive on the west, West 159th Street on the south, and South Renner Road and North/South Mur-Len Road on the east, and on the north by West 127th Street between North Lakeshore Drive and North K-7, West Harold Street between North K-7 and Northgate Street, Northgate Street between West Harold Street and West 119th Street, and West 119th Street between Northgate Street and South Renner Road.
(2) The street name, if it is contained within the area known as the Historic Olathe Addressing Grid, must conform to the established name in the Historic Olathe Hundred Block Street Name Index.
(B) For the area outside of the Historic Olathe Addressing Grid:
(1) The street name, if it is outside of the area known as the Historic Olathe Addressing Grid, must conform to the established name in the Johnson County Hundred Block Street Name Index.
(C) For street names deviating from the Johnson County Hundred Block Street Name Index:
(1) The GIS Division shall approve only those street names that meet the following guidelines for clarity and uniqueness. The root street name is spelled and pronounced differently than any other street name in any part of Johnson County, Kansas. The City of Olathe Addressing Technician may submit written proposals of new street names to the Johnson County AIMS Division, which may assist the City of Olathe Addressing Technician in determining uniqueness. Immediately prior to determining the uniqueness of a street name, the City of Olathe Addressing Technician shall request a recent copy of reserved street names from the Johnson County AIMS Department. The City of Olathe Addressing Technician shall forward all newly assigned street names to the Johnson County AIMS Department so that they can be added to the list of reserved street names.
