The effort comes following an investigation by the New York Times that detailed allegations that Chavez raped and abused women and girls.
McCarty said he appointed Vice Mayor Karena Talamantes, Mayor Pro Tem Eric Guerra and District 4 Councilmember Phil Pluckebaum to rename the city's plaza.
Telemantes and Guerra condemned Chavez's alleged actions in a joint statement, saying the "movement he was associated with has always been larger than any one person."
"I support renaming the park and believe we need to center the farmworkers and union siblings who have never stopped fighting in the fields, on the picket lines, and in the streets," Vang said. "Their struggle for dignity and justice is as urgent as ever."
California Gov. Gavin Newsom was asked by reporters on Wednesday about the allegations and said he would consider changing the name of Cesar Chavez Day.
The UFW said it would not be participating in Cesar Chavez Day events following the allegations and said the allegations are "crushing."
Chavez's family said in a statement that the allegations are "deeply painful for our family."
The family added that it remains committed to farmworkers.
