(A) Address numbers shall be even on the north and west sides of the street, and odd on the south and east sides of the street. One hundred numbers shall be assigned to each identified grid block, with the lowest number beginning at the point nearest the grid centerline. Address numbers shall be determined by the number grid in which the property is located.
(B)
In new residential subdivision, each standard sized lot shall be given a pre-assigned street number by the City Clerk-Treasurer upon final plat approval. Address numbers will be assigned to large lots relative to their capacity to be divided into two, or more, minimum sized lots for the minimum width allowed by the zoning district. Address numbers shall be assigned to lots in the appropriate odd, or even, numerical sequence relative to their location, such as 201, 203, 205, and the like.
(C) Address numbers for unplatted residential, and all other non-residential, buildings shall be determined by calculation. The distance from the center of the driveway to the last corner, or grid, shall be measured to get a location number. The location number is then divided by 3.30 to get the address. If the block number is 1200 and the location number divided by 3.30 is 43, the address is 1243 or 1244, depending upon which side of the street the building is located.
(D) When street intersections are within 120 feet of a grid line, the number series change shall be made at the intersection to be more logical to the public. When a long block faces two blocks divided by a street, the number series on the long block shall change at the intersection street so that houses facing each other will have compatible addresses.
(E) Diagonal streets which run 45 degrees, or less, from a north/south line will be numbered by the north/south grid, and those more than 45 degrees from the north/south line will be numbered by the east/west grid. Curving streets will be assigned numbers based upon the grid of their greatest length. For instance, if the beginning is more south than east of the end, then the north/south grid will be used.
(F) On loop streets and cul-de-sac streets address numbering shall begin at the entrance nearest the grid centerline. Address numbers shall increase, or decrease, relative to their initial movement from the grid centerline, and continue to the opposite end as if the street were in a straight line. Block number changes will be made every 330 feet, with odd and even numbers remaining on the same side of the street as they began.
(G) Apartment buildings on public streets shall be assigned individual addresses. Apartments clustered about a central parking area immediately facing a public street shall also be assigned separate street addresses.
(H) When apartments are arranged along a private street, a sign showing the apartment complex name, with public street address below it, must be posted at the entrance. In these instances, each building is lettered A, B, C, and the like, but a central postal facility for all apartments must be located so it is readily accessible to a mail carrier for the public street serving the complex.
(I) Each apartment must be identified on the exterior entrance by number of building letter, and number for multiple buildings. The numbers shall be in sequence (for example, 1, 2, 3, and the like). Apartments in lettered buildings shall have the building letter as part of each apartment number, such as B-210. When units are on multiple floors, ground floor numbers shall be in the 100 series (101, 102, 103, and so on), second floor in the 200 series (201, 202, 203, and so on), and the like. If a common hallway is used for several apartments, the external hallway entrance to each apartment shall contain a list of the apartments served. When addressing townhouses, and other buildings containing units separately owned, each address shall be placed upon the principal external entryway to the unit.
(J) The official address for each apartment on a public street shall be the building address followed by the apartment number, such as “329 Fernway Avenue, Apt. B”. Addresses for units in apartment buildings not on a public street shall include the public street address and the building number with the apartment designation. The official address for each apartment will be the public street address followed by the building letter, a dash, and the apartment number, such as “329 Fernway Avenue, Apt. C-104".
