No. 3058, eff. 2/21/87.]

A. Olive Avenue shall be the base line for numbers on streets running northerly and southerly.

B. Front Street shall be the base line for numbers on streets running easterly and westerly. [Formerly numbered Section 26-105; renumbered by Ord. No. 3058, eff. 2/21/87.]

Numbers on the westerly and northerly side of streets shall be odd, and numbers on the easterly and southerly sides of the streets shall be even. [Formerly numbered Section 26-106; renumbered by Ord. No. 3058, eff. 2/21/87.]

Within the area from the northerly line of Cypress Avenue to the southerly line of Providencia Avenue, and from the westerly line of Front Street to the easterly line of Sixth Street, twelve and one-half feet (121/2') frontage shall be allowed for each number. In the rest of the City, twenty five feet (25') frontage shall be allowed for each number; provided, however, that where in the discretion of the City Engineer commercial, industrial or congested residential areas warrant, twelve and one-half feet (121/2') or less frontage may be allowed for each number. Frontage shall be calculated from the end to the beginning of each block. [Formerly numbered Section 26-107; renumbered by Ord. No. 3058, eff. 2/21/87.]

Numbers shall begin at the base lines defined in Section 7-3-902 of this article. On streets running easterly and westerly from Front Street, number one shall be the first odd number and number two (2) the first even number and number one hundred (100) shall be the first even number and number one hundred one (101) the first odd number in the second block. On all other streets, number one hundred (100) shall be the first even number and number one hundred one (101) the first odd number in the first block. At the beginning of each block thereafter, numbering shall commence with the appropriate multiple of one hundred (100). Each block shall be numbered as if the street began at the base line designated in Section 7-3-902 of this article and extended continuously to include the block or blocks being numbered. [Formerly numbered Section 26-108; renumbered by Ord. No. 3058, eff. 2/21/87.]
