Santa Maria Municipal Code Ch. 8-2 Building Numbering

All houses, buildings and lots fronting on streets and other public thoroughfares shall be numbered in the following manner: beginning at Broadway, which shall be used as the starting place for numbering, both east and west therefrom, and beginning at Main Street which shall be used as the starting place for numbering, both north and south therefrom, and following for each and every block 100 numbers, according to the relative position, each 25 foot frontage of each block shall be entitled to one odd or even number, whichever the case may be. Buildings and lots shall be numbered consecutively, even numbers placed on all south and east sides of streets and odd numbers being placed on all north and west sides of streets.

(Prior Code § 6-28)

The figures to be used as numbers shall be of metal or other approved durable material, and shall be at least three inches in height; provided, that where large numbers are painted on windows or other parts of business houses, they are sufficient. Wherever practical the numbers shall be so placed and maintained as to be readily discernable from the street in front of the premises served.

(Prior Code § 6-29)

The Director of Community Development shall have charge of the matter of numbering houses, buildings and lots, and shall upon request give any property owner or occupant of any houses or building the number of his premises, and it shall be his duty to notify householders and others to place proper numbers where required. Such notice shall state the number required, and upon failure to do so, he may cause the same to be done at the expense of the person notified, which expense shall be collected from the person liable therefor. Any person failing to place a number within 10 days after being notified so to do is also guilty of a misdemeanor.

(Prior Code § 6-30)
