Regional Street Naming Committee

PLEASE NOTE: The Regional Street Naming Committee meetings are held via Zoom webinar. Please see meeting agendas for information on how to attend the virtual meetings.

The Regional Street Naming Committee (RSNC) hears requests regarding the naming of un-named access easements or the changing of already established street names to some other name. These requests are submitted by a coordinator who receives them from developers, private citizens and others. The coordinator assures the proposed new names meet the criteria for such actions established by interlocal agreement. For the City of Sparks, the RSNC is a recommending body, making recommendations to that city council based on its findings. The city council is the final authority for street name issues for its respective jurisdiction. In Washoe County the RSNC is that authority, with the Board of County Commissioners being the appellate body.

Membership

The RSNC is made up of representatives of Washoe County Community Services Department (WCCSD), the cities of Sparks and Reno Building Departments, 911 and other emergency response entities, the US Postal Service, utilities representatives and others.

Authority

Interlocal agreement.
