05-07-09: STREET ADDRESS NUMBERING:
(3) Factors In Assigning Numbers: The following shall be used as a guide in
assigning said address numbers by the City Mapping Department:
A. Single-family residential dwellings and duplexes should generally be assigned
individual single address numbers. All other buildings and structures, including triplexes
and other multi -family dwellings, should generally be assigned only one address
number with individual units or spaces within the building being assigned individual suite
or unit numbers in addition to the single address number assigned to the building as a
whole. All primary address numbers shall be whole numbers. Fractional or decimal part
addressing shall not be allowed.
B. Numbers may be assigned to vacant lots within platted residential subdivisions
and should generally be assigned in such a manner that adequate numbers are
reserved for possible future development or resubdivisions of such land.
C. Preferably addresses should generally be assigned on the street upon which
the structure fronts, unless primary access to the building is from another street or
unless the structure is situated such that addressing off the frontage street would create
confusion for emergency services, in which case addresses should then be assigned on
the street which provides primary access.
D. All addresses located on the left hand side of streets as the numbers increase
from the numbering grid shall be odd numbers. All addresses on the right hand side of
streets as the numbers increase from the numbering grid starting point shall be even
numbers. These requirements may be varied in the case of meandering streets. When a
street has been determined to be running in predominantly one direction, the address
number shall not be changed if there is slight change in the street or lane direction.
E. Whereas there are multiple existing numbering grids in use in the City, all new
addresses shall be assigned using the grid determined by the City Mapping Department
to be the best for the new area.
F. Existing address numbers not in conformance with the official address grid
system may be changed by the City Mapping Department, giving official written notice
at least ninety (90) days in advance of the effective date of such change to property
owners and those local agencies affected by such changes with the exception that the
effective date of such change to vacant properties and properties under new
construction shall be immediately upon notification. Property owners and local agencies
noncompliant with official address changes shall be subject to the administrative citation
process as outlined in section 10-034410 of this Code.
G. When an existing addressed building is demolished, the address number shall
be retired and not re -used for new construction or re -development unless insufficient
address numbers exist to allow such to be changed.
(4) Subaddressing:
A. The numbering of units, spaces and suites shall take place by the Mapping
Department and, when consultation is needed, said department shall call upon the
Addressing Committee.
05-07-10: PLACEMENT AND POSTING OF ADDRESSES ON BUILDINGS AND
SIGNS:
All buildings within the City limits, whether occupied or not, and whether for residential
or nonresidential use, shall have address numbers, and, when required, street names,
posted as follows:
(1) Address numbers shall be placed on the front of all buildings, whether residential
or nonresidential. If the street address is based upon a street other than the street upon
which the building fronts, the street name should also be posted on the building in

posted on the street side of the building.
(2) All approved address numbers, building numbers and approved building
identification (subaddresses) shall be placed in a position plainly legible and visible from
the street fronting the property. All posted numbers shall contrast distinctly with their
background (light on dark or dark on light).
(3) Address numbers, and where applicable words, shall be arabic style numerals or
block style alphabet letters.
(4) All address numbers shall be a minimum of six inches (6") high with a minimum
stroke width of 0.5 inch. All sizable complexes or facilities (such as shopping centers,
industrial sites, apartment complexes, etc.) shall have address numbers a minimum of
twelve inches (12") high. Any building located significantly back from the street it faces
may be required to post proportionately larger sized numerals as deemed adequate to
identify the structure. All subaddress numbers shall be a minimum of four inches (4")
high.
(5) Buildings or uses with permanent on premises monument, post, pole or
freestanding signage that include addressing as part of the signage, shall place
addresses on such signs in large numbers that are distinct and separate from other
messages on the sign.
(6) Required address and street name postings on all buildings shall take place prior
to issuance of any temporary or final certificate of occupancy. Occupied buildings that
do not have required address and street name postings shall be subject to the
administrative citation process as outlined in section 10-034310 of this Code.
(7) Temporary street signage and temporary posting of the address number shall be
in place on all construction sites. Construction sites lacking the required temporary
street signage and temporary posting of the address number shall be subject to the
administrative citation process as outlined in section 10-03-4410 of this Code.
Section 2. This ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage,
approval, and publication, according to law.
Section 3. This ordinance is hereby declared to be severable. If any portion of this
