Woodland Municipal Code Ch. 12.36 Numbering Buildings

The definition of the word "block" as used herein is shown by the black lines in Figure 1; provided, however, that for the purposes of this chapter Bush Street shall be included in the block bounded by College Street, Main Street, First Street and Lincoln Avenue, and that Laurel Street shall be included in the two blocks bounded by College Street, Oak Avenue, Second Street and Cross Street.

(Prior code § 20-10-1)

Beamer Street shall be the starting point for numbers on all buildings fronting streets running north and south. West Street shall be the starting point for numbers on all buildings fronting on the streets running east and west.

(Prior code § 20-10-2)

The numbers on the west and south sides of the streets shall be even numbers, and on the north and east sides of the streets shall be odd numbers.

(Prior code § 20-10-3)

Number "1" shall be the starting number for all streets intersecting with Beamer Street or West Street. The starting number for each consecutive block shall increase in the ratio of 100 numbers to each block. For example, the starting number on the block between West Street and Grand Avenue on Main Street shall be "2" on the south side and "1" on the north side; and on the block between Grand Avenue and Cleveland Street on Main Street, the starting number at Grand Avenue shall be "102" on the south side and "101" on the north side, and so on in like manner to the east boundary line of the City. Where any street does not intersect with Beamer Street or West Street the starting number for such street shall correspond to the starting numbers in the same block on streets running parallel thereto.

(Prior code § 20-10-4)

Twenty feet in frontage of all building and vacant lots shall be allowed for each whole number. One hundred whole numbers shall be allotted to each block. Where two or more entrances are between any two whole numbers, fractions of numbers shall be used.

(Prior code § 20-10-5)

No person shall wilfully remove, destroy or mutilate any correct number placed as required by this chapter without immediately replacing it with another such number. Any person violating this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.

(Prior code § 20-10-6)

A. Generally. All entrances from public streets in the City to buildings or separate apartment buildings shall be numbered as provided in this chapter. The number of any entrance shall be placed upon the door or immediately above the doorway closing the same. Each number shall be at least six inches in height.

B. Duty to Number Buildings—Assignment of Numbers. All owners or persons in charge of buildings shall cause the proper numbers to be placed upon the same, in conformity to the numbers required by this chapter. Upon failure to do so when required by the superintendent of streets (who shall inform such person of the proper number when requested), such person shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
