Chapter 12.04 — BUILDING NUMBERS AND STREET NAMES

All houses, buildings and lots fronting on streets shall be numbered in the following manner:

Beginning at Branch Street/Grand Avenue, which shall be used for the median for numbering both north and south therefrom, and beginning at Nevada Street, Bridge Street, and Traffic Way south of Nelson Street, which shall be used for the median for numbering both east and west therefrom, the frontage of each lot shall be entitled to one odd and even number, whichever the case may be. Buildings and lots shall be numbered consecutively. Even numbers shall be placed on the right-hand side of the street when facing in the direction in which the numbering shall progress, and odd numbers shall be placed on the left-hand side of the street in which the numbers progress. The first number at the starting point shall be "100."

(Prior code § 8-2.01)

The figures to be used shall be contrasted to the background and shall be at least four inches high; provided, however, where numbers are painted on windows or other parts of structures, the same shall be deemed sufficient.

(Ord. 594 § 9, 2007: prior code § 8-2.02)

The community development department director shall have charge of numbering houses, buildings and lots and shall, upon request, give any property owner or occupant of any house or building the number of his or her premises. It shall be the duty of the community development department director to notify householders and others to place proper numbers where required. Such notices shall state the number required, and, upon the failure of the occupant so to do, the community development department director may cause the same to be done at the expense of the person notified, which expense shall be collected from the person liable therefore.

(Prior code § 8-2.03)

Any person failing to place a number within ten (10) days after being notified so to do shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.

(Prior code § 8-2.04)

All streets shall be designated according to direction and length by the proper term as set forth in the following schedule:

New streets that are obviously in alignment with others already in existence shall bear the names of such existing streets. In order to avoid duplication or conflict, names to be used for new streets shall be subject to review and approval by all departments and shall be recommended to the planning commission for approval.

(Prior code § 8-2.05)

Changes of street names shall be made by resolution of the council following a public hearing and the recommendation to the council by the planning commission and a public hearing by the council. Such public hearings shall be held no earlier than ten (10) days after notice is mailed to each property owner of record along with the portion of the street being considered for name change.

(Prior code § 8-2.06)
