Grand Terrace Municipal Code Ch. 12.44 Posting of Street Numbers

Street numbers shall be designated and assigned by the planning department or other agencies in cooperation with the planning department as approved by the planning director.

(Ord. 1 § 1(part), 1978: county code § 63.072)

Street numbers shall be conspicuously posted on each building located in the incorporated area of the city. If there is more than one building on a lot and only one street number is assigned, the number shall be posted on the principal building or the building nearest the street.

(Ord. 1 § 1(part), 1978: county code § 63.073)

All street numbers posted pursuant to this chapter shall meet the following requirements:

A. Numbers shall be no less than three inches in height with a corresponding width.

B. Numbers and background colors must be of contrasting shades.

C. Numbers must be visible and identifiable from the street on which the building or buildings front.

D. When numbers on a building would not be visible from the street due to setback (distance from the street) or would otherwise be obstructed, street numbers may be posted on an independent structure such as a post, but must otherwise meet the requirements of this section. Numbers posted on mailboxes are acceptable under the provisions of this Subsection only when no more than one mailbox is installed on a given lot.

E. Numbers painted on curbs are not acceptable as a substitute for the requirements in this Chapter.

(Ord. 1 § 1(part), 1978: county code § 63.074)

Alternative methods of posting street numbers may be authorized by the enforcing agency provided the enforcing agency determines that the method used complies with the intent of this Chapter, which is to ensure that all street numbers are properly posted and can be readily ascertained by those agencies charged with the protection of the public peace, health, safety and welfare.

(Ord. 1 § 1(part), 1978: county code § 63.075)

The Planning Director or authorized representative shall be responsible for the enforcement of the provisions of this Chapter.
