Anaheim Municipal Code Ch. 4.50 Curb Address Numbering

No person shall paint, mark, inscribe, or impose upon any publicly owned or controlled curb, parkway or street any address number without first obtaining a permit therefor from the License Collector. The term “address number” as used in this chapter shall mean the address number ascribed to any property regardless of whether such property, or any use thereof, is residential, commercial, industrial or otherwise. (Ord. 5810 § 32 (part); April 23, 2002.)

Any application for a permit to paint house numbers on any public curbs shall be signed and filed with the License Collector and shall include the following information:

.010 The name and business address of the applicant. If the applicant is a partnership, the application shall state the name and address of each of the general partners. If the applicant is a corporation, the application shall state the name and address of the president of the corporation. If the applicant is a joint venture, the application shall state the name and address of each of the joint venturers.

.020 A description of the area of the City to be serviced within the permit period.

.030 The names and addresses of each employee or person who will do the painting.

.040 The names and addresses of each employee or person who will make door-to-door solicitations or collections of payments or contributions for such services.

.050 An agreement by the applicant to perform such services in accordance with applicable City standards. (Ord. 5810 § 32 (part); April 23, 2002.)

.010 Upon the filing of an application, the License Collector or his or her designee (herein referred to collectively as the “License Collector”) shall have five (5) business days to determine whether the application is complete. If the application is determined to be incomplete, the License Collector shall, within two business days following such determination, give written notice by mail or personal delivery to the applicant advising that the application is incomplete and stating the information needed to complete the application.

.020 Upon determination that the application is complete, the License Collector shall conduct an appropriate investigation, including consultation with the Police, Fire, Code Enforcement and Planning Departments and inspection of the premises, as needed. Within forty-five (45) days after receipt of a completed application, the License Collector shall either grant or deny the application. (Ord. 5810 § 32 (part); April 23, 2002.)

.010 All curb house numbers shall be of size, color and style conforming to specifications approved by the Director of Public Works and on file in the Public Works Department of the City.

.020 Masonry paint shall be used for all numerals and background equal to or greater than specified in the standard specifications approved by the Public Works Director and on file in the Public Works Department of the City.

.030 All numerals shall be located on the curb face not more than one inch from the top of the curb. (Ord. 5810 § 32 (part); April 23, 2002.)

A permit issued under this section shall be valid for a period not exceeding ninety (90) days and shall specify the area of the City to be solicited for the painting of house numbers. No permit shall be authorized for an area greater than can reasonably be serviced by the permit holder within the period the permit is valid and no more than one permit shall be issued for any one time period for any service area. Said service area shall be approved by the Code Enforcement Manager prior to issuance of the permit. In determining whether to approve or disapprove the proposed service area, the Code Enforcement Manager shall consider (i) whether the area can be serviced within ninety (90) days, and (ii) the most recent service date for the area or any portion thereof. (Ord. 5810 § 32 (part); April 23, 2002.)

.010 Prior to painting the address number upon the curb of any property, the person or company providing such service shall notify the owner, manager, or occupant of the property in writing of the intention of such person or company to paint the address number upon the curb of such property. Such notice shall be delivered in person or by mail to the property not less than three (3) days prior to the date such curb painting will or is proposed to occur. Such notice shall state the amount of any suggested donation for such service and shall provide a reasonable means by which the owner, manager or occupant of the property may reject such service or payment therefor. Such notice shall state that the amount of any payment made for the service is strictly voluntary and that failing to reject the service does not create any binding obligation for payment. Such notice shall state that the address numbering service is not sponsored by or affiliated with the City of Anaheim.

.020 No person or company shall paint the address number or anything else upon the curb of any property, nor solicit any payment or donation from the owner, manager or other occupant of any property, where the curb painting service for such property has been rejected as provided herein.

.030 No person shall solicit donations for the painting of address numbers in excess of the amount stated in the written notice delivered to the property in accordance with subsection .010 above. In soliciting such donations, no person shall trespass or remain upon any private property after being requested by the owner or an occupant of the premises to depart from the property or after any request for a donation has been denied. After being requested to depart from private property following any such solicitation or after being denied any request for a donation, no person shall threaten, coerce or otherwise intimidate any owner, manager or other occupant of the property in retaliation thereto. (Ord. 5810 § 32 (part); April 23, 2002.)

.010 Revocation Notice. The License Collector shall be authorized to revoke any permit for non-compliance with any term, condition or regulation specified in this section or for failure to perform such services within the time period of the permit. Not less than five (5) days prior to the effective date of any such revocation, notice of revocation, including the reasons therefor, shall be provided to the permit holder by mail or personal delivery to the address specified in the permit application. Any permit holder aggrieved by an action of the Revenue Manager may appeal such action to the City Manager at any time prior to the effective date of such revocation upon the filing of a letter of appeal with the License Collector.

.020 Appeal. Any timely filed letter of appeal shall contain a concise explanation of the grounds for such appeal. Upon receipt of a timely appeal in compliance with this section, the effective date of any revocation shall be stayed during the appeal process. Within ten (10) days following the date of such timely appeal, the City Manager or his or her designee shall hold a hearing thereon notice of which shall be given to the permit holder by mail or personal delivery not less than three (3) calendar days prior to the hearing date. Within ten (10) days following the hearing date, the City Manager or his or her designee shall issue a written decision on such appeal which decision shall be provided to the permit holder by mail or by personal delivery. Said decision shall be final and shall become effective upon the earlier of either (i) the third day following the date of deposit in the U.S. Mail, first-class, postage prepaid, to the permit holder if the decision is mailed, or (ii) the date of personal delivery thereof to the permit holder. (Ord. 5810 § 32 (part); April 23, 2002.)

Any person violating any provision of this section shall be guilty of an infraction. (Ord. 5810 § 32 (part); April 23, 2002.)
