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.
(Ord. No. 6134, § 2, 12-3-84)
The numbers required by this article to be displayed shall be conspicuously placed immediately above, on or within five (5) feet of either side of the front entrance door of each occupancy, or otherwise as approved by the building safety administrator or his authorized representative to prevent undue hardship, so that the numbers can be clearly discerned from the public or private way. Additional display of address shall be allowed. If an occupancy has no entrance through the side of the occupancy fronting on a public or private way, the numbers required by this article shall be displayed in a location on the front side of the occupancy prescribed by the building official or his authorized representative. Whenever any building is situated more than fifty (50) feet from the near right-of-way line of the public or private way on which it fronts, or when the address number would not be visible from the way, the number shall be conspicuously displayed at the near right-of-way line, near the walk or driveway leading to the entrance to such building upon the curb, a gate post, wall, fence, tree, post or other appropriate place or thing so as to be easily discernible from the way. Address numbers displayed shall be not less than three (3) inches in height, shall be made of a durable and clearly visible material and shall provide good contrast against the immediate background.
(Ord. No. 6134, § 2, 12-3-84)
The building safety administrator shall cause to be prepared complete plats of uniform address numbering as required by this article for all property within the city, including property annexed from time to time. Promptly thereafter there shall be assigned to each building and unimproved lot, parcel or tract within the city the respective number or numbers under the uniform system required by this article.
For the purpose of facilitating a correct numbering, a map or plat book of all public and private ways within the city, showing the assigned numbers of all buildings and unimproved properties, shall be kept on file in the office of the building safety administrator and shall be open for public inspection during the office hours of the building safety administrator.
(Ord. No. 6134, § 2, 12-3-84)
It shall be the duty of the building safety administrator to inform any party applying therefor of the number or numbers belonging to or embraced within the limits of any lot, parcel or tract, as provided in this article. In the case of conflict as to the correct number to be assigned to and displayed by any existing or future building, or as to correct location of display, the building safety administrator or his authorized representative shall determine the number of such building after an informal administrative bearing has been conducted by such official upon adequate notice and opportunity to be heard having been afforded any challenging party who has a legal or equitable interest in the property concerned. Such party may thereafter appeal to the board of appeals established and structured in article II, chapter 6 of this Code in accordance with section 6-17 thereof and the rules and regulations of the board of appeals.
(Ord. No. 6134 § 2, 12-3-84)
It shall be a civil infraction for the owner of each building now existing or which shall be erected or shall become located within the city to fail to display the correct number or numbers caused to be assigned by the building safety administrator in accordance with this article. No permit required by any provision of chapter 6 of this Code shall be issued for any building or use of land until the owner has procured from the building safety administrator the designation of the proper number or numbers assigned to the premises concerned. Final approval of any building relocated, erected, repaired, altered or modified within the city shall be withheld by the building safety administrator until the number or numbers assigned to the premises have been displayed pursuant to the provisions of this article.
