The address shall be placed in a manner to insure prompt identification of apartment buildings from the nearest fronting road or parking area, depending upon the location and placement of each particular apartment building. Such addresses shall be clearly visible and kept free and clear of any obstructions hindering reasonable visibility from the nearest fronting road or parking area.
(a) The numbers shall be in standard Arabic form of a size at least three (3) inches by two (2) inches or larger if necessary to be visible from the nearest fronting road, parking area or fire lane, and in a color distinguishable from its background, with the exception that existing posted numerals shall be acceptable hereunder if so visible as to adequately identify each apartment building.
(b) In the event that apartment buildings located in a complex or elsewhere are not clearly visible from the nearest public thoroughfare, the owner of any such apartment building shall use a system of identification that is reasonably calculated to be readily identifiable by public service and emergency personnel.
(c) The City Manager or his/her designee, shall have the authority to approve any such identification system proposed in writing by apartment owners. Such written approval obtained from the City Manager or his/her designee shall be prima facie evidence of compliance with this standard.
