1. Address numbers for each street shall begin from zero at the beginning point of that street and increase at the rate of 1,000 per lineal mile of that street. Where possible, 1,000 grid numbers shall correspond with section lines. Each 1,000 grid is divided into 10 100 blocks of approximately equal length. Hundred blocks may be expanded and contracted in order to fit street patterns, so that a 100 block may begin at an intersection rather than in the middle of a block.

2. Address numbers shall be assigned with even numbers on the north side of east-west streets and the west side of north-south streets, and with odd numbers on the south side of east-west streets and the east side of north-south streets.

3. An address shall be complete and official only if it contains all of the following elements:

1. Address numbers shall be assigned to properties at their point of frontage on a named street, except that a building on a corner lot shall be assigned an address on the street the building faces. A building on a parcel, sufficiently large such that the front of the house is not visible from the street, shall be assigned an address for the point at which its private driveway meets a named street.

2. Where two or more separate businesses or residences are contained in one building or complex, a single address shall be assigned to that building or complex, and unit numbers (such as Suite 1, Apt. 1) shall be assigned to each door by the property owner. Private clustered housing developments with no more than two points of vehicular access, including mobile home or RV parks, shall also be assigned a single address with unit numbers provided by the property owner.

1. Address numbers shall be located so as to be legible from the street on which the address is assigned.

2. Numbers shall be legibly marked and contrast with any background material.

3. Where a building is not clearly visible from the street on which it is addressed, its address number shall be posted at the point at which its private driveway meets that street.

4. Where unit numbering is necessary, the property owner of an existing building shall be responsible for posting unit numbers in a logical and appropriate manner within 60 days of adoption of the ordinance codified in this chapter. Where unit numbering is necessary, the property owner of a newly constructed building shall be responsible for posting unit numbers in a logical and appropriate manner no later than the issuance of a certificate of occupancy.

5. It shall be the duty of the property owner of a building to post the correct address number of that building in accordance with those standards within 60 days of adoption of the ordinance codified in this chapter.

6. Any incorrect or improper address number shall be removed and replaced with the correct number by the property owner within 60 days of notification by the city engineer of the correct address. [Code 2006 § 7-16-7. Ord. 90-21, 10-9-1990; Ord. 2008-05, 6-10-2008].
