Who comes up with new street names and how are they approved?
Street names in new subdivisions are created by the developer/engineer for the project. These street names have to be approved by the Richmond Regional Planning District Commission. The county Planning Department has final approval of all street names. If the street name is not in a recorded subdivision, then the owners of all adjacent properties have to agree to the name and it has to be approved by Richmond Regional Planning District Commission. The county Planning Department has final approval of these names.
