Section 1. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds,
determines and declares as follows:
A. The City of Santa Ana is requesting approval of Street Naming No. 2019-01
to change the name of a street segment within the Santa Ana Auto Mall to
"Roger Penske Drive."
B. Street Naming No. 2019-01 came before the Planning Commission on
August 12, 2019.
C. Pursuant to sections 33-5 through 33-8 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code
(SAMC), the Planning Commission is the decision making body for the
naming of public streets, subject to confirmation by the City Council.
Further, the policy guidelines in the SAMC pertaining to the naming of
public streets state that a facility may be named if the name serves to
recognize a person who made a distinct, significant contribution to the
well-being of the City.
D. Based on these guidelines, the street name of "Roger Penske Drive" was
selected as the name of a street segment in the Santa Ana Auto Mall in
honor of Roger Penske, owner of seven of the nine dealerships within the
Auto Mall and well-known automotive racing legend. His commitment to
improving the Santa Ana Auto Mall has resulted in major upgrades to all of
his dealerships and a significant increase in City revenue.

CEQA Guidelines, the recommended action is exempt from further review per Section
15061 (b)(3). This general rule exemption is allowed provided it can be determined with
certainty that the proposed project will not have a significant effect on the environment.
As the project consists of the renaming of a public street, the general rule exemption is
applicable. Categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. 2019-63 will be filed for
this project.
