All buildings fronting on the public streets of the City shall
be numbered in accordance with the provisions of this Article.
[CC 1989 §7-91]

[CC 1989 §7-92]
On streets running in a north and south direction, the numbers
shall commence at Broadway with the number one (1) on the east side
and the number two (2) on the west side of each street, such numbers
to appear on each street and both to north and south of Broadway and
continue for one (1) block in such order. In the second (2nd) block,
the numbers shall begin with one hundred (100) and one hundred one

south streets.
[CC 1989 §7-94]
In all cases where streets do not cross Broadway or Main Street,
the numbering of each building fronting on such street shall be the
same as it would, in that location, be if the street were continuous
across the City.
[CC 1989 §7-95]
For the purpose of distinguishing numbers from similar ones
on the opposite side of the City, each street that extends across
the City, or is represented on both sides of Broadway, shall have
the prefix "North" for such portions of the street as may lie north
of Broadway, and such portions of the street as may lie south of Broadway
shall have the prefix "South"; and for streets running east and west
and extending across the City, or being represented on both sides
of Main Street, the portions lying east of Main Street shall have
the prefix "East" and those west of Main Street shall have the prefix
"West".
[CC 1989 §7-96]
In assigning numbers for buildings, a number shall be allowed
for approximately each twelve and one-half (12½) feet on each
side of the street in all portions of streets within the business
district, as shown on the Zoning District Map on file in the City
Clerk's office, provided that a variation of five (5) feet or less
may be made, in either direction, from the basis, where it is necessary
in adjusting the system to lots of irregular width or where sides
of lots abut upon a street, and provided further, that it shall be
proper to assign one (1) number to any single lot having a frontage
of less than twenty-five (25) feet but not less than ten (10) feet.
[CC 1989 §7-97]
It shall be the duty of the City Engineer to prepare a plat
book showing the streets and lots of the City and showing each house
number assigned along each street, and where adjustments of the number
system are necessary on account of the irregularity of streets or
because of a lack of uniformity of blocks, the City Engineer may adjust
such irregularities in the most practicable manner, being particular
to keep blocks of the City having the same number in hundreds practically
east and west or north and south of each other so as to keep the numbering
system of the City practically symmetrical according to the spirit
and intent of this Article. Such plat book, when completed and approved
by the City Council, shall be filed with the City Clerk and become
a part of this Article.
[CC 1989 §7-98]
Whenever any addition to the City has been adopted by the City
Council, the City Engineer shall, without delay, prepare and submit
a number plat of such addition, assigning proper numbers for all houses
which may front on any of the streets included in such addition, making
the numbers to conform systematically with the system of house numbering
in the rest of the City, and in conformity with this Article such
number plat shall be presented to, and approved by, the City Council,
and upon its approval it shall be filed with the City Clerk and become
a part of this Article in like manner as to original plat provided
for herein. Such plat shall be used in assigning numbers for all buildings
then existing, or thereafter built, in such addition.
[CC 1989 §7-99]
It shall be the duty of the City Clerk to provide the number
designated by the City plat book of house numbers to any building
in the City upon application for such number by the owner or occupant
of any building or his/her agent or representative.

It is hereby made the duty of the owner or occupant of each
dwelling or business fronting on any public street in the City to
place and maintain the proper number on such building according to
the provisions of this Article. Such number shall be made of some
durable substance if attached to a building or of durable paint if
painted on doors, windows or transoms. In all cases, such number shall
not be less than three (3) inches in size from top to bottom and shall
so be placed and maintained as to be easily discernible from the street
on which such building fronts.
[CC 1989 §7-101]
It shall be the duty of the City Code Enforcement Officer, when
he/she has knowledge or information that any building in the City
is not numbered in accordance with the requirements of this Article
or when ordered to do so by the City Council, to notify the owner
or the occupant of such building forthwith to install the proper number
on such building, and any person so notified who shall fail to install
the proper number upon such building within ten (10) days of the receipt
of such notice shall be deemed guilty of an offense against this Section.
[CC 1989 §7-102]
