Beaumont Municipal Code Ch. 12.28 Building Numbering

All buildings having a frontage on any street or avenue in the City shall be numbered by the owner, agent or occupant thereof as provided in this chapter as follows: California Avenue shall form the base line for numbering all east and west streets and avenues and the southern City limit shall be the base for all streets running north and south. Odd numbers shall be assigned to the south side of the streets and west side of the avenues, and all numbers shall alternate in regular numerical order. In all blocks ten feet shall be allowed to each number.

(Ord. 9/12/1913 (part); Ord. 24 §1, 1913)

For the purposes of numbering on streets and avenues, the buildings shall be counted from the base lines; thus streets running east or west of California Avenue shall be designated as East or West and the north and south streets and avenues shall be numbered running north. The first number allotted in each first block shall be 101 and the first number in the second block shall be 201 and the first number in each succeeding block shall commence with a new hundred. The number on each building shall be so placed as to be easily read.

(Ord. 9/12/1913(part); Ord. 24 §2, 1913)

All buildings now erected shall be numbered in accordance with the provisions of the ordinance codified in this chapter by January 1, 1914. All buildings erected after January 1, 1914 shall be numbered within 30 days of the time of their completion. The owner, agent or occupant of any such building shall ascertain the proper number from the superintendent of streets of the City.

(Ord. 24, § 3, 1913)

In the discretion of the Enforcement Officer, any person violating the provisions of this Chapter shall be issued an administrative citation pursuant to Beaumont Municipal Code Chapter 1.17 or shall be guilty of an infraction pursuant to Beaumont Municipal Code Chapter 1.16. In either case, the amount of the fine shall be the appropriate amount set forth in Section 1.16.030 of this Code.
