Council declines immediate renaming of private driveway called “Mustang Street,” directs staff to work with tenant Exquadrum on signage

A request from tenant Exquadrum to rename a roadway commonly called "Mustang Street" to "Exquadrum Way" led to council discussion on Feb. 18 and a staff recommendation to deny the renaming because the feature in question is not a dedicated public road.

Staff explained that the segment referred to as Mustang Street is not a recorded public street in the city’s land records; it functions as a private driveway providing access within the Southern California Logistics Airport (SCLA) area. Because the city could not rename a non‑dedicated public road in the same way it would a dedicated public street, staff recommended denying the request while offering to work with Exquadrum to find alternative ways to meet the company’s directional and signage needs.

Councilmember Jones moved—and Mayor Pro Tem Herriman seconded—a motion directing the city manager and staff to confer and collaborate with Exquadrum to address their access and signage concerns. The motion passed with Councilmember Irving voting no; other members voted yes.

Council discussion emphasized two points: (1) staff should work within the existing adopted sign program and the SCLA specific plan to find a consistent, permitted solution; and (2) if Exquadrum presents a reasonable proposal that would go beyond current standards, staff should bring that proposal back to council for review. Staff noted some issues of coordination with property owner associations and the specific plan’s sign framework.

The council’s vote did not rename the driveway or create a public street name; instead the council directed staff to work with the tenant to explore signage and access improvements that are consistent with city and SCLA plans.
