(A) The numbering for the Village Uniform Street Name and Address Numbering System shall begin at State Street and Madison Street in the City of Chicago and extend outwardly. The number system shall increase southerly, and westerly beginning with the corporate limits of the village, as it may change from time to time with annexations.
(B) In cases where an address shall be changed, property owners shall receive official notification of the new address assignment in advance of the changes. These notices shall state the old and new address, effective date of the change, and penalty for not displaying the new address number. Notifications of number change are usually sent 30 days before the effective date of the change.
(C) North and west sides of the street shall have even numbers. South and east sides of the street shall have odd numbers.
(D) The system defines eight blocks equal to one mile. Each block is approximately 660 feet long In addressing there are 66 possible numbers per block. They consist of 33 odd numbers and 33 even numbers, being evenly spaced out every 20 feet. This is the method to be used to assign addresses for the Village Uniform Street Name and Address Numbering System.
(E) Every section in each township has a north/south and east/west corresponding boundary. In each section, there are eight blocks. The numbers shall increase from north to south and east to west. (See § 92.39(A) below).
(F) Street directions are designated as either S. for north/south streets, W. for east/west streets.
(G) Developers shall choose street layouts from the following designs.
(1) Crescent (loop) streets. A crescent is designed so that a street has an entrance and exit at two points on the same intersecting street. Crescents are numbered consecutively from their beginning intersection (either the north or east intersection) if they have one street name. Even though crescent street configurations are north/south and east/west, the numbers are dependent on the direction of the intersecting street if one street name has been chosen. In addressing a crescent, addresses shall not be alternated so that odd and even numbers are located on the same side of the street. Addresses shall be assigned along the crescent continuously in the same direction as the intersecting street. It shall depend on the length of the street if more than one street name will be required. This will be left up to the discretion of the village. Refer to the illustration attached as § 92.19(A) above.
(2) Cul-de-sac streets. A cul-de-sac is designed so that the street does not follow through. There is only one common entrance and exit with a turn around at the end of the street. Cul-de-sacs shall be addressed in the same manner as north/south and east/west streets with even numbers located on the north and west side of the street and the odd numbers on the south and east side of the street. Because of the shape of a cul-de-sac, the center lot at the end (circular part of the street) of the cul-de-sac shall be the dividing point for determining whether a lot will receive an even or odd number. Refer to the illustration attached as § 92.19(B).
(3) North/south - east/west streets. A north/south or east/west street is designed to provide vehicular access to abutting property in a grid system. East/west streets can intersect north/south streets. On the north and west side of the street shall be even numbers. The south and east side of the street shall be assigned odd numbers. Refer to the illustration attached as § 92.19(C).
(4) Trending street. A trending street is designed to bend back and forth with few straight areas. The street will be considered as trending in the direction in which it covers the greatest distance being north/south or east/west. Trending streets shall be addressed in the same manner as the north/south or east/west streets. Refer to the illustration attached as § 92.19(D).
(5) Diagonal street. A diagonal street is designed to extend as a line on an angle. The street shall be addressed in the direction in which it covers the greatest distance being north/south or east/west. Refer to the illustration attached as § 92.19(E).
(H) If one structure has several units designed for individual occupancy and each unit is accessed from outside of the structure, then each unit shall have its own address. If individual units are accessed solely from within the structure, then the structure shall have an address and each unit within shall use the same address and have an individual sequential unit letter or number. For structures having several main entrances, each leading to separate groups of units, each main entrance shall have its own address and units accessed from within that entrance shall use that address and have an individual sequential unit letter or number. An exception to this section is a motel/hotel where one address shall be assigned to each building and each room for rent shall use the same address and have an individual sequential unit letter or number.
(I) For private drives and interior parking bays and group housing/commercial developments, generally numbers shall be assigned to all dwelling units or structures facing a parking bay, private drive, or interior courts, as if they were facing upon the main street to which the driveway connects. The numbers shall remain in numerical sequence.
(J) On a corner lot, the address assigned shall be assigned according to the direction that the principal building faces. The address should correspond with the location of the primary entrance door. In some cases, the address shall be assigned by the location of the driveway due to site design circumstances.
(K) When practicable, the continuation of an existing street shall have the same name as the existing street.
(L) When a street makes a 90-degree turn at any point and it is determined by the village that is necessary to avoid confusion in the delivery of emergency services, a change in street name shall occur to eliminate confusion.
(M) The name of the new street shall not duplicate or mimic the name of existing streets within the area served by the same post office, Fire Department or other emergency service organizations.
(N) In areas where there are numerous structures on a private road and there are not enough numbers available in the appropriate range, the village has the authority to increase the number range in that particular area.
