I got a question presented to me that seems like it should be relatively
easy to answer, but is a new one to me. So I wanted to mine the collective
brain trust here to see if anyone has been through this before and could
point me in the right direction:

We just approved a final plat for a development. There is a dead end road
(cul de sac) that will have about 10 lots off of it that are about to be
built on. There has been a request internally to rename the road from how
it was originally platted. The developer was approached and readily agreed
to the name change.

The question was how to accomplish the name change. I don't see that the
plat would have to be amended since it does not impact any lot sizes,
distances, measurements, etc. As I read the statutes, the dedication to the
City of the street and ROW conveys title to the City to hold in trust, but
a name change does impact how we use the dedication (i.e. it's still a
street, and it was dedicated to us to use as a street which we would be
doing).

Any feedback on how you'd process the name change would be appreciated.
This is a first for me.

I have changed street names by ordinance.  The post office will have to be notified.  It would be a good idea to file a copy of the ordinance with the county clerk to avoid future confusion.

I have also changed street names by ordinance.  I agree with David about notifying the  Post Office and filing in the clerk's office.

Mike and David have it right. With the Post office notified and the ordinance filed in land records, you have it all covered but for the changing of the street signs. Most cities have done this, either from annexation subdivisions that were built in the county and converting them to the city's naming and numbering conventions, to all the streets renamed for Martin Luther King Jr. or other honorees.
