Explanation
Columbus City Council accepted the plat titled Jeffrey Place, Section 1, on February 27, 2006. One of the streets shown on this plat was named Keats Avenue. The street name Keats is already in use within the City of Columbus and was not approved for use on this subdivision plat. It is now necessary to change the street name shown on this plat as Keats Avenue to one that has been approved for use within this subdivision. The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, recently received a request from National Community Builders, Inc., managing partner of the Green Arbor Partnership, LLC., who currently owns this subdivision, asking that the street name be changed to Neruda Avenue after Nobel Prize Winner Pablo Neruda.
Emergency Justification: The developers can not receive the sewer and water permits needed to proceed with their construction until this name change takes place therefore the Public Service Department, Transportation Division is requesting this legislation be handled as an emergency ordinance.
