To provide for the administration of a uniform addressing system,
the Building Department of the City shall maintain an "official
address map" for the City and shall assign all numbers to lots,
buildings and/or units in accordance with the provisions hereof. Numbers
shall be assigned when required to identify any property, buildings,
or units. New numbers may be assigned to previously numbered property
in order to provide a uniform system and to correct conflicts, errors,
or inconsistencies.
(Ord. 747 § 4, 2022)
(a)
Eligibility. Any person owning or controlling property may apply
for a new address by providing adequate description of the property
or buildings to be assigned and the name of the property owner and
tenants of the same.
(b)
Identification of Property. The application shall be processed in
a manner to adequately provide for building or unit identification
for the post office department, utility company personnel, City fire
and police personnel and the general public.
(c)
Inconsistencies. Where conflicts or inconsistencies arise, the department
may initiate a change in numbers on its own, provided that all other
requirements are met regarding proper notice.
(d)
Notification. Once a number or numbers are assigned, the applicant
shall be notified in person or by mail, or both, as shall the post
office, electric, water and gas utilities and any tenant listed on
the application.
(e)
Posting of Numbers. It shall be the duty of the owner or person in
possession of any property to properly post the assigned number within
ten (10) days after such notice is received. The minimum four inch
(4″) high number shall be located in a position on the building to
make it clearly visible from a street during the daytime; except,
subunit designations on individual apartments, shops and similar spaces
shall be located on or near the entrance door of the subunit. Said
number shall correspond to the one assigned by the City, and shall
be posted at all times. In the event a number is removed, deteriorates,
or is no longer visible, the property owner and/or tenant shall be
subject to the provisions of this Chapter with respect to posting.
(Ord. 747 § 4, 2022)
For the purpose of maintaining uniform numbering, buildings
and lots shall be numbered so that odd numbers shall be to the west
and south and even numbers shall be to the north and east. To the
fullest extent possible, the department shall attempt to maintain
a uniform system consistent with that in general use in the County.
(Ord. 747 § 4, 2022)
