A street shall not be assigned a name and a number. This is to avoid persons using both interchangeably with their official situs address. When a street is designated with a an alphabetic name, only its intersection with other streets are assigned numbers as coordinates for the purpose of displaying them on intersection signs.
A. Streets which shall be assigned alphabetic names:
1. Streets that change direction at oblique angles to the address grid system axes.
2. Streets that are diagonal to the address grid system axes.
3. Circled or looped thorough-fares which return to themselves. If frontage number to be assigned for addresses on buildings are all on the outside of the loop, or all on the inside of the circle, the street may be given a single name, otherwise, a break shall be made at a distinct point at the back of the loop and multiple names assigned. This is to avoid duplicate and parallel address ranges for the same street name.
4. Horseshoe shaped thoroughfares that are not in alignment with the countywide grid system shall be assigned at least two names with the breaks occurring at the most distinct bends on the street.
5. Private streets which are proposed within private developments such as condominiums and planned unit developments shall be named.
B. Streets which shall be assigned numbers:
1. Major collector streets or collector streets which are in continuous alignment with the address grid system axes shall be assigned street numbers.
2. Marginal access streets which parallel major collector streets and collector streets in alignment with Countywide Grid System shall be assigned numbers.
C. Street numbering: When calculating street numbers and intersection coordinates, all numbers shall be measured to the centerline of the roadway and shall end with the digit “0" or “5". Private numbering systems shall be avoided.
D. Property numbering: The following standards shall be applied to the numbering of properties in the city:
1. Juxtaposition: Building numbers should be comparable (but not duplicated) on parallel streets and should be in consecutive order.
2. Even-odd: Building numbers should be assigned to opposite sides of the street as determined under the city address grid system.
3. Compass direction: On streets that do not conform to the four compass directions, building numbers should be assigned from the axis that most nearly matches the principal direction of the thoroughfare.
4. Corner lots: Dual addresses on corner lots shall be avoided. A final address will be assigned when a site plan showing building footprint is submitted.
5. Buildings without public frontage: Buildings that are hidden behind other buildings or do not have public frontage shall be numbered from the centerline of the principal access or driveway. (Ord. 2019-27, 12-11-2019)
