As used in this chapter:
ADDRESS (SITUS ADDRESS): A unique alphanumeric descriptor which identifies the property location of a parcel of land, a building or other structure on the Countywide Grid System.
ADDRESS FORMAT: The order of assemblage and structure of the five (5) standardized components (frontage number, directional, thoroughfare name or number, thoroughfare type, substructure suffix) used in the legal situs address.
BASELINE STREET: The east and west directional street (South Temple Street in Salt Lake City) which intersects with the meridian (Main Street in Salt Lake City) street to bench mark the permanent origin of the Countywide Grid System and provide a datum point from which the coordinates or all other thoroughfares and legal situs addresses are calculated.
COUNTYWIDE GRID SYSTEM: The coordinate system which has evolved and developed for identifying address and thoroughfare locations over the greater part of Murray City and Salt Lake County.
DIRECTIONAL: The compass direction of the legal situs address which references the Countywide Grid System and the direction in which the frontage numbers are measured along the roadway of both public and private thoroughfares. When a thoroughfare number is used in the address, instead of an alphabetic name, a directional shall also be used to designate its direction. A directional shall always be abbreviated with the first letter of its compass direction in standardized address format.
FINAL PLAT: A map or chart of a subdivision, planned unit development ("PUD"), condominium, or other proposed development which has been accurately sited or surveyed, and located on the ground so that thoroughfares, alleys, blocks, lots and other divisions thereof can be identified.
FRONTAGE NUMBER: The prefix component of the legal situs address which is numerically sequenced and assigned to a structure or parcel along a thoroughfare according to its relative distance perpendicular to the baseline or meridian axis of the Countywide Grid System.
INTERSECTION: The point on the Countywide Grid System which identifies the location where two (2) or more thoroughfares cross one another.
MERIDIAN STREET: The north and south directional thoroughfare (Main Street in Salt Lake City) which bench marks the permanent origin of the Countywide Grid System and provides a datum point from which the coordinates of all other streets and legal situs addresses are calculated (see definition of baseline street).
OFFICIAL STREET AND ADDRESS FILES: The computer files and associate maps adopted by the City under the provisions of title 10, chapter 9a, section 401, of the Utah Code, as amended, to include the master street plan of the City, including maps and reports or both, which have been approved by the City Planning Commission as required by law.
PRIVATE RIGHTS-OF-WAY: Thoroughfares which are retained and maintained under the ownership of private individuals and intended for private use.
PROPERTY IDENTIFICATION CERTIFICATE: The official documentation including a certificate number and the registration of a legal situs address which is issued to the owner/resident for their parcel, building, or premises dwelling. The official situs address may also be designated on final plats recorded in the Office of the Salt Lake County Recorder.
PUBLIC RIGHTS-OF-WAY: Thoroughfares which are dedicated for perpetual public use and are administered by the governing entities in which they are located.
SUBDIVISION: The division of a tract, or lot or parcel of land into two (2) or more lots, plots, sites or other division of land for the purpose, whether immediate or future, of sale or of building development or redevelopment, and a plat has been recorded in the Office of the Salt Lake County Recorder under a unique name to identify one subdivision from another. In property identification context, subdivision name may also be used to identify other conditional use or project names.
THOROUGHFARE: Any rights-of-way, under public or private ownership for public use, designed for the travel of motorized vehicles to enter and exit through passage and to include the ways used for internal circulation of traffic.
THOROUGHFARE NAME: The alphabetic name assigned, not including the street type designator, to identify both public and private thoroughfares which are on the Countywide Grid System, and is one of the primary components of a legal situs address.
THOROUGHFARE NUMBER: The name of a thoroughfare designated with numerals according to its numerical position on the Countywide Grid System relative to the baseline or meridian axis streets. Thoroughfare numbers never contain alphanumeric characters (e.g., 3rd West Street). When a thoroughfare number is designated, a directional corresponding to its orientation on the grid is also required (e.g., 300 West Street).
THOROUGHFARE TYPE: A standardized identification descriptor which corresponds to physical and functional characteristics of a thoroughfare (i.e., avenue, bay, boulevard, circle, court, cove, drive, expressway, lane, parkway, place, road, row, street, and way).
UNIFORM PROPERTY IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM: Established regulations and guidelines, as revised from time to time, which define specific procedures for the design and designation of address numbers on all houses and buildings including occupancy units therein as well as the design of names and numbers for streets both public and private including standards for street intersection markers (signs).
UNIT LOCATOR: The last component of a legal situs address which is an alphabetical or numerical code used to identify a one to one correspondence between a building and high density occupancy structures within the building such as suites, rooms, apartments, and condominium units. (Ord. 17-30)
