All buildings within the City limits, whether occupied or not, and whether for residential or nonresidential use, shall have address numbers, and, when required, street names, posted as follows:
(1) Address numbers shall be placed on the front of all buildings, whether residential or nonresidential. If the street address is based upon a street other than the street upon which the building fronts, the street name should also be posted on the building in addition to the numbers and the address numbers and street name should also be posted on the street side of the building.
(2) All approved address numbers, building numbers and approved building identification (subaddresses) shall be placed in a position plainly legible and visible from the street fronting the property. All posted numbers shall contrast distinctly with their background (light on dark or dark on light).
(3) Address numbers, and where applicable words, shall be arabic style numerals or block style alphabet letters.
(4) All address numbers shall be a minimum of six inches (6") high with a minimum stroke width of 0.5 inch. All sizable complexes or facilities (such as shopping centers, industrial sites, apartment complexes, etc.) shall have address numbers a minimum of twelve inches (12") high. Any building located significantly back from the street it faces may be required to post proportionately larger sized numerals as deemed adequate to identify the structure. All subaddress numbers shall be a minimum of four inches (4") high.
(5) Buildings or uses with permanent on premises monument, post, pole or freestanding signage that include addressing as part of the signage, shall place addresses on such signs in large numbers that are distinct and separate from other messages on the sign.
(6) Required address and street name postings on all buildings shall take place prior to issuance of any temporary or final certificate of occupancy. Occupied buildings that do not have required address and street name postings shall be subject to the administrative citation process as outlined in section 10-03-10
of this Code.
(7) Temporary street signage and temporary posting of the address number shall be in place on all construction sites. Construction sites lacking the required temporary street signage and temporary posting of the address number shall be subject to the administrative citation process as outlined in section 10-03-10
of this Code. (Ord. 2828, 6-21-2010; amd. Ord. 3110, 9-18-2017; Ord. 3594, 4-16-2024)
