It's been a while since I read the articles but I am pretty sure that with standard street pads you will not need to resurface the rotor because standard pads are abrasive enough to bed themselves in over the remains of the earlier pad.

The important point is that if you have new pads with rotors "bedded" in with a less compatible material, you will not get maximum stopping power until the the new pads are bedded in. With high performance pads that are not abrasive enough then resurfacing might be a good idea.
