B. Naming of streets and addressing of properties shall be as assigned by the Community and Economic Development Department, pursuant to the Department’s standard practices, except as provided under MTMC 12.25.020. (Ord. 2598 § 2, 2012).

B. At a public meeting, the City Council may provide direction to hold a public hearing and consider adoption of one or more proposed street names;

C. At least 10 days in advance of a public hearing, notice of said public hearing shall be posted and published and a written notice mailed to property owners that would have a new or changed address if the new street name is adopted by the City Council; and
