Amend and Adopt Section 501.2 of the 2022 California Building Code and amend to read as follows:
502.1 Address Identification. New and existing buildings shall be provided with approved address numbers or letters. Each character shall be not less than 4 inches in height and not less than 0.5 inch in width. They shall be installed on a contrasting background and be plainly visible from the street or road fronting the property. When required by the fire code official, address numbers shall be provided in additional approved locations to facilitate emergency response. Where access is by means of a private road and the building address cannot be viewed from the public way, a monument, pole or other approved sign or means shall be used to identify the structure. Address numbers shall be maintained.
No Certificate of Occupancy or final building approval for new construction or alterations shall be granted until the building or residence has a street address number posted. Subdivisions and Planned Developments shall submit a numbering schedule for approval by the Building Department and the Fire Department. All commercial buildings having a single address assigned with multi-suite arrangements shall have the suite-numbering system approved or assigned by the Building Department with an approved copy to the Fire Department for emergency use.
