§ 40-940. Display of property addresses.

All buildings, residences, and other structures located within the City shall be assigned a number in accordance with the following provisions:

(1)

Street address numbers shall be assigned by the Building Inspector or his agent. No certificate of occupancy shall be issued without addresses being placed on the structure where appropriate.

(2)

No building shall be assigned more than one number. A building with more than one entrance serving separate occupants shall be assigned only one number, and in addition to such number a letter designation such as A, B, C, shall be assigned to each principal entrance serving an occupant.

(3)

The cost of the numbers shall be paid for by the property owner. Residential numbers used shall not be less than three inches in height and business numbers shall not be less than four inches in height. These numbers shall be made of a durable and clearly visible material and shall be in a contrasting color from the building.

(4)

The numbers shall be conspicuously placed immediately above, on or at the side of the proper door of each building so that the number can be seen plainly from the street line. Whenever any building is situated more than 50 feet from the street line, the number must be placed near the walk, driveway or common entrance to such building and upon a mailbox, gatepost, fence, post, or other appropriate place so as to be easily discernible from the street line.

(5)

In zoning districts with multiple structures which may not front on city streets (e.g., institutional campus, institutional), location numbers of structures shall be in accordance with a property plan and map reviewed and approved by the City Planning Commission.
