The following rules shall apply in the numbering of buildings:
(A) The reference streets for numbering are:
(1) North Greene Street from First Street to Greenville city limit; thence, along SR-1527 to Memorial Drive; thence, along Memorial Drive, US-13, NC-11, and NC-903 to SR-1415, the address boundary line;
(2) South Evans Street from First Street to Greenville city limit; thence, along SR-1700 south to the address boundary line;
(3) West First Street from South Evans Street westerly to Harris Mill Run, the address boundary line; and
(4) East First Street from South Evans Street westerly to the address boundary line.
(B) Streets intersecting the reference streets shall begin at number 100, the second block beginning at number 200, the third block beginning at number 300, and so on.
(C) Going away from these reference streets, the even-number addresses shall be on the right-hand side of the street, and the odd-number addresses on the left-hand side of the street.
(D) Lots which do not have frontage on the street being numbered, but achieve access through other public vehicular areas, shall be numbered based on where their access intersects the street.
(E) Streets not intersecting reference streets and streets which are not extensions which intersect reference streets shall, on the end of the street nearest a reference street, begin with a block number which corresponds with an adjacent parallel street which does intersect one of the reference streets. The same system of numbering the block is to be followed as noted in subsection (B) above, assigning a new 100 (or block number) to each block, or if a block is 800 feet long or more, with no intersecting street in between, then a new block number shall begin at the most logical place for a street to be cut through it, or halfway between the long block corners, or if the street is long enough without intersecting streets, then a new block number shall begin at intervals of 500 feet.
(F) A new block number is to be assigned to each block that enters the street being numbered, regardless of whether the street continues across it, and the block number shall change directly opposite the point where this deadend street enters the street being numbered. In case of a slight offset in intersecting streets, then the block number will change at the street intersections instead of directly opposite the entering street.
(G) Named Access is assigned to commercial or multifamily developments when there are not enough existing address numbers available to properly address the proposed structures off of the adjoining public street. Named Access is also assigned when three or more structures are located on a private driveway to comply with E911 standards. The City Engineer is responsible for determining when a Named Access is deemed necessary during the plan review process. The proposed names for the Named Access submitted by the developer shall be reviewed by the City Engineer. The City Engineer shall verify that the proposed name for the Named Access is not duplicated in the city and/or Pitt County. All proposed Named Access street names should have a name suffix of “Way.” Once the street name verification process is complete, the City Engineer shall assign the addresses for the structures using the Named Access. Using Named Access will also assist the City Engineer in not having to readdress existing structures to accommodate new development.
