Sec. 25-66. Assignment of numbers--Generally.
   Sec. 25-66(1). All buildings and lots on the right-hand side of each public or private way ascending from the base line shall bear even numbers. All buildings and lots on the left-hand side of each public or private way ascending from the base line shall bear odd numbers.
   Sec. 25-66(2). Each hundred block, as delineated on the official addressing maps or plats and the hundred block base map or plat, shall be divided into a number line of one hundred (100) equal increments (numbers). Respective odd and even address numbers shall be assigned from this number line according to the building location, property entrance location, or mean property frontage as shall be determined by the building safety administrator or his authorized representative.
   Sec. 25-66(3). Where any building has more than one (1) occupancy, a separate number shall be assigned to each front entrance serving a separate occupancy provided the building occupies a lot, parcel or tract having a frontage equal to at least ten (10) feet for each such entrance. Where a building is not located on a lot, parcel or tract having such frontage, or where such frontage cannot be imputed to two (2) or more buildings on a lot, parcel or tract, the building safety administrator shall cause to be assigned a numerical occupancy designation unique to each occupancy in the buildings as part of the address number. All such designations shall be consistent generally with the system established by this article.
   Sec. 25-66(4). A building on a lot or parcel abutting two (2) or more public or private ways shall have a number assigned only to the front entrance, unless other entrances serve different occupancies.
   Sec. 25-66(5). The building safety administrator or his authorized representative, when assigning a series of address numbers, shall determine whether to lead with an odd or an even number. Whenever possible, the first address number in a given series shall be even.
   Sec. 25-66(6). Address numbers will be assigned to properties on both sides of a public or private way in a stepped, alternating sequence, except in the case of ways having curved alignments. Building locations, property entrances, and mean property frontages which are physically lower than those on the opposite side of the public or private way, relative to the ascending number sequence, will be assigned and addressed numbers of lower numerical value.
   Sec. 25-66(7). Lots, parcels or tracts fronting on a curved public or private way shall be numbered as though the way were actually straight so that lots, parcels or tracts directly across from one another shall be assigned address numbers of similar numerical value although the way is not in a perpendicular relationship with the hundred block grid lines.
