RECOMMENDATION:
That staff proceed with the preparation and registration of a by-law to rename in its entirety
theportion of the street shown as “Chapel Hill Crescent” and legally described as (Chapel
Hill Crescent, PLAN 58M-627)located at the intersection with Robert Ferrie Drivein the
Doon South Communityto “Chapel Hill Drive”.
CKGROUND:
BA
Plans of subdivision in the Doon South Community were draft approved in 2007 and were
registered in 2010. To date building permits for Registered Plan 58M-627 have not been issued.
It has come to the attention of staff that the above noted registered plan was registered containing
a street name “Chapel Hill Crescent” which does not match the balance of the street in the
subdivision plan to the north shown as “Chapel Hill Drive” on Registered Plan 58M-627. As this
would create possible confusion for emergency services, mail staff and visitors to the area, staff
is recommending that this portion of the street be renamed prior to building permits being issued.
REPORT:
In accordance with CouncilPublic Notice Policy I-287 and Street Naming Policy I-1147 notice of
the proposed street name change will not be required prior to the passing of the by-law as there
are no residents currently residing on Chapel Hill Crescent.Staff proposesthat this portion of the
roadlegally described as(Chapel Hill Crescent, PLAN 58M-627) be renamed from “Chapel Hill
Crescent” to “Chapel Hill Drive” in order to align with the balance of the street in the 58M-630 Plan
to the north.

Staff circulated the Region of Waterloo, Transportation Servicesand the Fire Department on the
potential street name.No concerns were identified and copies of the comments received are
attached as Appendix “A”.

the street shown as “Chapel Hill Crescent”at the intersection with Robert Ferrie Drivein the Doon
South Community to “Chapel Hill Drive”.

The recommendation of this report supports the achievement of the city’s strategic vision through
the delivery of core service.
