In order to promote the public convenience and welfare, a system of street numbers for the territory of the city northerly of Interstate 10 consistent with that established by the county of Riverside is established. This system uses a five-digit number, the first two digits designating the grid increment and the last three digits designating the location within the grid. This grid commences at the westernmost and northernmost Riverside County lines, grid numbering becoming larger to the east and to the south from those lines. The grid increments are one mile west to east and one-half mile north to south.

(Ord. 1528 § 2, 1996)

The Building Official or their designee shall have the authority, and it shall be their duty, to designate the respective numbers for buildings and structures fronting on streets heretofore laid out or to be hereafter laid out or extended.

Any person desiring to have changed the street number for his building or structure fronting on a street within the city shall first make application to the Building Official or their designee for such change in street number, and shall pay a fee in such amount as has been established by resolution of the city council. The Building Official shall receive the fee so required and issue a receipt for same, and process the street number change. The Building Official thereupon shall notify the affected agencies and utilities of the change.
