a business or group of businesses shall have an identification number
posted thereon. Said number can be posted on the framework of the

identification number facing the right-of-way. The number shall be
placed, permanently mounted, in a window or on the front of the structure.
Businesses or suites which do not front a right-of-way need not post
an exterior identification number. All businesses, buildings or suites
which have common entrances with other occupants must post an identification
number on their respective interior doors.
