El Monte Municipal Code Ch. 15.22 Building Regulations—housing Numbering

All entrances from the public streets to buildings shall be numbered as hereinafter in this chapter provided.

(Ord. No. 3011, § 3(Exh. A), 6-21-2022)

The number of each and every entrance shall be placed upon or immediately above the door or gate closing such entrance, except as otherwise provided for in this chapter. In all cases where the building is located on the back of the property line of the street on which the same fronts, the numbers may be placed either at the side of the main entrance of the building, over the main entrance, upon the porch, or such numbers may be placed over or at the side of the gateway of the property, or upon any steps or other structure near the back of the property line thereof, in such a manner that the same may be plainly seen from the street in front of such property. Whenever houses are located at the back of the property line, the numbers shall be placed and maintained in such a manner that the same will not be hidden from view from the street by any trees, bushes, shrubs or other obstructions. Each figure of all numbers shall be at least two (2) inches in height and of corresponding width.

(Ord. No. 3011, § 3(Exh. A), 6-21-2022)

The number designated for any entrance to any building shall be placed thereon within five (5) days after the receipt by the owner, occupant or lessee of such building of a notice from the City Building Official of such number; and all numbers other than such number shall be removed from every building by the owner, occupant or lessee thereof within five (5) days after receipt of such notice. The City Building Official shall designate the respective numbers for buildings fronting on streets theretofore laid out or hereafter to be laid out or extended.

(Ord. No. 3011, § 3(Exh. A), 6-21-2022)

Twenty-five (25) feet frontage shall be allowed for each number, to be calculated from the end of the block at which the number begins, except in the case of lots fronting on Valley Boulevard between the westerly boundary line of the city and the westerly line of the Pacific Electric Railway Company's right-of-way, the City Building Official may allow a less amount of frontage so as to provide each separate place of business with a separate number as far as practicable. The City Building Official shall, so far as practicable, assign the numbers on either side of the streets in such a way that the consecutive even and uneven numbers shall be opposite each other and the City Building Official shall, on application, furnish information as to the numbers controlled by each lot.

(Ord. No. 3011, § 3(Exh. A), 6-21-2022)

A block within the meaning of this chapter shall be that portion of any street between two (2) cross streets or between a cross street and an abutting street or between two (2) abutting streets. In case of abutting streets, the prolonged centerline of the abutting streets shall be the dividing line of the blocks, and provided that all blocks exceeding five hundred (500) feet in length shall be considered as two (2) blocks.

(Ord. No. 3011, § 3(Exh. A), 6-21-2022)

One hundred (100) numbers or as many thereof, as may be necessary, shall be allotted to each block. Number 100 shall be the first number used at the respective beginning points on the sides of the streets which are to contain the even numbers and 101 for the sides which are to contain the odd numbers. At the beginning of the second block from the starting point, the first numbers shall be 200 and 201 respectively and so continue throughout the system.
