The board of supervisors finds that the public interest, safety,
welfare, and convenience require the establishment of a numbering
system of street and road addresses in a uniform plan for the county
of Placer. For the accomplishment of this objective, the board establishes
a uniform numbering system of street and road addresses for the county
which shall be known as the Placer County numbering system.
(Prior code § 23.1)
The Placer County property numbering system shall become effective
in the unincorporated area of the county of Placer and may be established
within any city of the county upon its adoption by said city.
(Prior code § 23.3)
The Placer County property numbering system shall consist of
a base line from which property numbers shall be established, the
property numbers to progress in an increasing magnitude in easterly
and westerly and northerly and southerly directions generally in accordance
with the distance from the base lines.
(Prior code § 23.5)
The Placer County property numbering system shall consist of a map of Placer County or portions thereof adopted under Section
15.08.100, upon which map or maps the base lines shall be shown or designated and by index lines indicate the principle locations at which major units of the numbering system shall commence, and such other maps shall be prepared and maintained as shall be necessary to designate the numbers and locations of numbers assigned to particular buildings and under the system. All maps constituting any portion of the Placer County property numbering system shall have a legend endorsed thereon stating that the maps constitute a portion of the system.
(Prior code § 23.7)
The system or portions thereof shall be continued, enforced,
operated and maintained within the unincorporated area of the county
of Placer by the office, person or department designated by resolution
of the board of supervisors, and property numbers assigned within
such area shall be done in accordance with the system.
(Prior code § 23.9)
For purposes of determining the proper number for a particular
location, the number shall be proportional to the distances between
the numbers next adjacent to the location on either side or the major
unit line or lines if no numbers have been previously established
on adjoining properties. For purposes of determining whether a number
shall be odd or even, it is determined that even numbers shall be
on the right-hand side of the street or road and odd numbers on the
left-hand side of the street or road in the direction of increasing
magnitude of numbers. Where existing numbers have been established
prior to this article and the odd or even numbers exist in reverse
order on the sides of the street or road, the reversed order of odd/even
number location shall remain as it presently exists and shall continue
for any extension of the street or road.
(Prior code § 23.11)
No street or road crossing any of the base lines of the system
shall be known by the same name on both sides of the base line unless
the street or road shall be adequately designated by a prefix or suffix
indicating a principle compass direction to denote the position of
the street or road in relation to the base line (i.e., West Avenue
100, East Avenue 100, Northwest 200th Street, Southeast 200th Street).
From and after the effective date of the ordinance codified in this
article any public street, road or way established, shall be named
in accordance with the following:
A. All
streets, roads and ways running generally northerly and southerly
to be known as "streets" or "roads."
B. All
streets, roads and ways running generally easterly and westerly shall
be known as "avenues" or "ways."
C. All
streets, roads and ways running in a variable, curving or winding
direction shall be known as "drives" or "lanes."
D. All
cul-de-sacs or dead-ends, not a continuation of any of the above shall
be known as "courts" or "places."
E. Major
arterial routes through the county and/or cities thereof, may be known
as "boulevards," "parkways," "freeways" or "throughways."
All streets, roads and ways shall be known by the same name
for its entire length, and where a street, road or way shall change
direction of 90 degrees or a greater angle, each direction shall be
known by a different name; provided, that where such exists on the
effective date of said ordinance, such may continue to exist provided
there shall be no further extension of the street, road or way.

(Prior code § 23.13)
The office, person or department designated to enforce, establish,
continue, operate and maintain the numbering system shall give notice
to the occupants or owners of land or buildings which are assigned
or reassigned numbers under the system which notice shall contain
the old number, the new number or the number reassigned to a particular
building or parcel of land and the date on which the new number shall
become effective. Within 10 days of the effective date of the notice
of number assigned or reassigned, the occupants or owners of the property
or buildings shall cause the number to be displayed upon the building
or land in such a manner as to be visible from the street or road
upon which the land or building fronts and shall remove or obscure
from public view any old or previous number not in accordance with
the system; provided, that in rural areas where buildings are removed
considerable distance from any public street or road or where rural
free delivery of mail is provided, the number may be displayed upon
receptacles designed for the delivery of mail. Nothing contained herein
shall be construed to prohibit the display of a proper number in accordance
with the system upon any road or driveway leading to buildings removed
a substantial distance from the public road or street upon which the
subject site abuts.
(Prior code § 23.15)
The adoption of the Placer County property numbering system
shall in no way affect the legal description of property by lot and
block numbers or by metes and bounds.
(Prior code § 23.17)
The map or maps referred to in this article are made a part
of this code. Those maps, and all notation, references and other information
shown thereon shall be as much a part of this chapter as if fully
set herein.
A. A property
numbering system is established for the western portion of Placer
County. Said system shall be that shown on the attached map, which
map and all notations thereon are declared to be the balance of this
subsection as if fully described herein.
B. A property
numbering system is established for the central portion of Placer
County. Said system shall be that shown on the attached map, which
map and all notations therein are declared to be the balance for this
subsection as if fully described herein.
