(Amended by Ord. No. 144,527, Eff. 4/19/73.)
The street address numbers on the northerly and westerly sides of the streets shall be odd numbers, the street address numbers on the southerly and easterly sides of the streets shall be even numbers.
One hundred numbers or as many thereof as may be necessary, shall be allowed to each block. No. 100 shall be the first number used at the respective beginning point on the sides of the streets which are to contain the even numbers, and No. 101 for the sides which are to contain the odd numbers. At the beginning of the second block from the starting point, the first numbers shall be 200 and 201, respectively and so continue throughout the system.
Twenty feet frontage shall be allowed for each number, to be calculated from the end of the block at which the number begins. On all streets the numbering shall be done as if the streets extended to the dividing lines for the City, as defined in Section 63.114 of this article.
