[Ord. 1580, 12-1-2010]
The purpose of this subchapter is to provide for the administration of a uniform addressing system consistent with that which is in general use in the country.
[Ord. 1580, 12-1-2010]
(A)
The engineering staff shall maintain an "official address map" for the city and shall assign all numbers to lots, building, and/or units thereof in accordance with the provisions of this subchapter.
(B)
Numbers shall be assigned when required to identify any property, building or units thereof in the city. New numbers may be assigned as provided herein to previously numbered property in order to correct conflicts, errors or inconsistencies.
[Ord. 1580, 12-1-2010]
(A)
Application.
(1)
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.
(2)
The application shall be processed in such a manner to adequately provide for building or unit identification for postmen, utility company personnel, city fire and police personnel and the general public.
(3)
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.
(B)
Notice. Once a number or numbers are assigned, the applicant shall be notified in person or by mail, or both, as shall the post office, Registrar of Voters, 911 Riverside County Communications, Valley Sanitation District, Riverside County Assessor, Indio Police Department, Indio Building Division, Imperial Irrigation District, Indio Water Authority (or applicable water purveyor), Southern California Gas Company, applicable school district and any tenant listed on the application.
(C)
Posting of numbers. It shall be the duty of the owner or person in possession of a property to properly post the assigned number within ten days after the notice is received. The number shall be located in a position 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. The 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 subchapter with respect to posting.
[Ord. 1580, 12-1-2010]
For the purpose of maintaining uniform numbering, the following system shall be maintained:
(A)
Buildings and lots shall be numbered so as odd numbers shall be to the west and south, even numbers shall be to the north and east; except for subunits which may be numbered consecutively or by buildings or a combination.
(B)
Where an apartment or commercial building with several subunits that do not face a public street is involved, the property or project may have one number and each subunit consequently shall have the same number plus a subunit designation by number or letter or both.
(C)
Numbering east-west streets. Primary property or building numbers for streets, avenues, highways, courts or roads on an east-west axis shall be assigned on the half-mile, as in county territory, Avenue 42, 43, 44, 45 and 46, and the like, with a three-digit number following (45-000) in consecutive and progressive order starting each half-mile from north to south.
(D)
Numbering north-south streets. Primary property or building numbers for streets, avenues, highways, courts or roads on a north-south axis shall be assigned on one-mile units as in county territory, i.e., Clinton Street 81-, Monroe Street 82-, Jackson Street 83-, and the like, with a three-digit number following (81-000) in consecutive and progressive order staring each mile from the west to east.
