(A) The street address number shall be placed on the front of each individual commercial or industrial structure so it is clearly visible to vehicles traveling in either direction on the nearest fronting road or parking area and in order to insure prompt identification of the location of each separate building. The address shall be kept free and clear of any obstructions hindering clear visibility to vehicles traveling in either direction on the nearest fronting road or parking area.
(B) The street address numbers for all new commercial or industrial structures shall be in standard Arabic form of a size at least six inches in height or larger, so as to be clearly visible to vehicles traveling in either direction on the nearest fronting road or parking area, and the street address number shall be in a color distinguishable from its background.
(C) In the event that a commercial or industrial structure is more than 100 feet from the nearest fronting road or is otherwise not clearly visible from the nearest fronting road, the owner of such structure shall use a system of street address identification, approved by the Fire Department or suburban Fire Protection District having jurisdiction, that is reasonably calculated to readily identify the structure to emergency and public safety personnel. The owner shall propose any such identification system in writing to the Fire Department of suburban Fire Protection District having jurisdiction, and the Fire Department or suburban Fire Protection District shall work with such owner to insure proper identification without undue expense to the owner. The Fire Department of suburban Fire Protection District shall give written approval for any qualifying identification system, with a copy to the Planning Commission, and such written approval shall be prima facie evidence of compliance with this subchapter.
