The following rules shall pertain in the numbering of houses or buildings.
(A) The reference streets for house numbering are:
(1) North Main Street from Charlotte Avenue to the city limits;
(2) South Main Street from Charlotte Avenue to the city limits;
(3) West Charlotte Avenue from Main Street to the city limits;
(4) East Charlotte Avenue from Main Street to the Catawba River; and
(5) Streets intersecting these streets shall begin at No. 100, the second block beginning at No. 200, the third block beginning at No. 300, and so on, with one exception of Hawthorne Street, where the divergence of West Charlotte Avenue and West Central Avenue is so great in distance to require a block numbered from zero to the 100 block.
(B) Going away normally from the reference street, the even numbers shall be on the right-hand side of the street and the odd numbers on the left-hand side.
(C) A separate number shall be assigned for each 25-foot frontage on a street, regardless of whether the lots front on the street being numbered or not.
(D) Other streets not intersecting reference streets, and streets which are not extensions of streets which intersect these reference streets, shall begin at No. 100 on the end of the street which is nearest and perpendicular to one of these reference streets, and the same system of numbering the blocks is to be followed out as noted in division (A) above, assigning a new 100 (or block number) to each block, or if a block is 900 feet long or more, with no intersecting street between, then a new block number shall begin at the most logical place for a street to be cut through it, or half-way between the long block corners.
(E) Stairway entrances leading to upstairs offices or apartments shall be numbered with a half number greater following consecutively the previous downstairs street number. Houses or buildings to the rear of houses or buildings which front a street shall be numbered with an A, B, C or D number following the appropriate number of the house or building in front of them.
