3.90.080 Size and Placement of Address.
Except for accessory structures that do not require an address, a building’s assigned address number shall be placed at the main entrance. Separate occupancies with assigned units must display the unit numbers at the main entrance for each occupancy. The address number must be clearly visible from the street on which the property is addressed or in another location allowed by this chapter or approved in writing by the City. The address number shall be included on any primary freestanding sign for commercial buildings, but shall not be considered part of the sign area.
A. The figures in the numbers shall not be less than four inches high and have a minimum stroke width of one-half inch, shall be a contrasting color to the background visible both day and night, shall be Arabic numerals or alphabet letters and shall be affixed permanently in a conspicuous place at the main entrance and clearly visible from the street to which the property is addressed.
B. The owner or occupant of any building may place address numbers on the street curb in front of the building, in addition to the required posting at the main entrance.
C. If the building is not visible from the street, the City may require that the address number be posted so that it is visible from the street where addressed to ensure that emergency vehicles will be able to locate the building.
D. Commercial buildings and commercial complexes addressed from a main street and not the driveway access shall have adequate signage indicating access. The City may require that the address number be placed at the access to the complex. The address number on each building shall be on the facade or entrance of the building facing the street from which the address is taken.
E. Construction sites or buildings under construction shall display the address number or subdivision lot number visible from the street to which the property is addressed. [Ord. NS-2180, 2012]
