TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Awe, Contra
FROM: Anthony A. Dehaesus
Director of Planning Costa
DATE: December 5, 1984 .
County
SUBJECT: Area Addressing with Post Office
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Supervisors instruct the Director of Planning to begin
deliberations with the appropriate Postal authority on the subject of area
addresses located within a city's sphere of influence
BACKGROUND:
The County Planning Department is the coordinating entity in the assignment of
new street numbers and names. The Department coordinates this effort among
the cities, fire districts and the Post Offices; however, the Post Office
determines the postal area.address; i.e., Walnut Creek, Alamo, Pleasant Hill.
Unfortunately, the Post Office does not recognize "sphere of influence" of cities
and therefore has often assigned areas within the sphere of influence of a
particular city to a nearby city or area; i.e., an area within the Pleasant Hill
sphere of influence is addressed as Walnut Creek.
A number of sub-issues would be part of the agenda:
1) as areas incorporate, will -the total area of incorporation be addressed with
the name of the city although an area within the boundaries may have the
address of a neighboring area (postal area).
2) as areas are annexed to cities, will these areas be addressed with the city
name if they are not addressed in that manner prior to annexation.
3) as areas are designated within spheres of interest of cities, can these areas
be re-addressed to carry the city's name within whose sphere they are
located.
It should be noted that the postal authorities may have some very firm policies
which probably include workload considerations, distribution areas and organiza-
tional concerns.
It is recommended that discussions should begin with the postal authorities to
attempt to reach some mutual agreement to establish guidelines in addressing
these areas.
