The governing body of the City finds and declares that the adoption
of an Official Map and the orderly numbering of buildings and lots
is necessary for the public health, safety and general welfare. The

of assigned numbers on buildings fronting on a road or street is important
in assisting fire, police, rescue and other emergency personnel in
locating a person in need of emergency response. It is the purpose
and intent of these regulations to provide these standards.
