12.32.020 Uniform Address System:
A uniform address system for properties and structures within the city is adopted as follows:
A. All properties or parcels of land within the city and all habitable structures shall be identified by reference to the uniform address system.
B. All streets north of the east-west baseline that generally run northward shall be “North” streets, as shown on the City Address Map. Likewise, all streets south of the east-west baseline that generally run southward shall be “South” streets. And all streets east of the north-south baseline that generally run eastward shall be “East” streets. And all streets west of the north-south baseline and that generally run westward shall be “West” streets.
1. Every building on a North street shall carry an address that corresponds to its location north of the baseline.
2. Every building on a South street shall carry an address that corresponds to its location south of the baseline.
3. Every building on an East street shall carry an address that corresponds to its location east of the baseline.
4. Every building on a West street shall carry an address that corresponds to its location west of the baseline.
C. Address numbers on each street shall begin at the baseline with the ordinal numbers 100 or 101, depending on which side of the street the property is on. All buildings on the south side of East or West streets and east of North or South streets shall bear odd numbers, and likewise all buildings on the north side of East or West streets and west of North or South streets shall bear even numbers.
D. Structures that have multiple tenants shall be assigned one (1) main address number for the structure, and each tenant shall carry a different letter designation such as A, B, or C, in addition to the main address number.
E. The Municipal Services Director may provide address numbers that vary from the uniform address system set forth in this chapter provided that the alternate address numbers shall fall between the address numbers on both sides of the property, the address number shall correspond with the odd and even requirement of this chapter, and the request shall be made from the legal property owner.
