§ 7.1.5. Numbering of building and structures.

(A)

Division of city into sections. The City is hereby divided into four sections, namely, northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest. The focal point and dividing lines for the directional segregation of the City shall be the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and Swinton Avenue. That section which is bounded by North Swinton Avenue on the east and West Atlantic Avenue on the south is designated as the northwest section. That section which is bounded by North Swinton Avenue on the west and East Atlantic Avenue on the south is designated as the northeast section. That section which is bounded by South Swinton Avenue on the east and West Atlantic Avenue on the north is designated as the southwest section. That section which is bounded by South Swinton Avenue on the west and East Atlantic Avenue on the north is designated as the southeast section.

(B)

System for numbering buildings established.

(1)

Any building located on property lying adjacent to the avenues (except Atlantic Avenue) or other roadways in the City and which face east, shall have even numbers and any of the buildings facing west shall have odd numbers; any building located on property lying adjacent to streets or other roadways including Atlantic Avenue, in the City, and facing north shall have even numbers; and any building facing south shall have odd numbers. [Amd. Ord. 21-96 7/9/96]

(2)

Any avenue, street, road, lane, alleyway, court, terrace, boulevard, or other roadway running in a diagonal direction from the focal point, of Swinton Avenue and Atlantic Avenue shall have even numbers on the southerly side, and shall have odd numbers on the northerly side. [Amd. Ord. 21-96 7/9/96]

(3)

Using the dividing lines of Swinton Avenue and Atlantic Avenue, numbers of buildings in each section of the City shall start with the number 1 for the first 25 feet, and shall have the next higher (odd or even as the case may be) for each additional 25 feet going away from the focal point; at each block intersection thereafter, going away from the focal point, building numbers shall be the sum of one for the first 25 feet and shall have the next higher numbers (odd or even as the case may be) for each additional 25 feet plus 100 for each grid intersection. Numbers will increase by 100 when the grid system would pass that point if extended. [Amd. Ord. 21-96 7/9/96]

(4)

Any building located in the rear of any other building which faces an avenue, street, road, lane, alleyway, court, terrace, boulevard, or other roadway, shall take the number of the front building and add one-half.

(5)

Numbering east of the Intracoastal Waterway shall begin with the number 1,000 at Venetian Drive. At Seabreeze and Gleason the numbers will run from 1,100 to Andrews Avenue on the north and Bronson Street on the south of Atlantic Avenue. From those points to the ocean the numbers shall run from 1,200.

(6)

For the purpose of this section Atlantic Avenue shall be intended to mean all that part of State Road No. 806 lying within the corporate limits of this City.

(C)

Proper display of building, bay, or suite numbers. The owners of all properties having a building thereon shall install and maintain in a conspicuous place a correct street number of sufficient size, shape, and character as to be visible and readable from the adjacent street. The owners of all properties where any building is subdivided into suites or bays, shall install and maintain in a conspicuous place, a correct suite or bay designation. The suite and bay designations shall be of sufficient size, shape and character as to be visible and readable from the adjacent street. Street numbers, and suite or bay designations not meeting the requirements of this section shall be removed by the owner of the property on which the numbers, and suites or bay designations are located, and the numbers or designations meeting the requirements of this section shall be posted, within 30 days after notice by certified or registered mail. [Amd. Ord. 26-92 8/11/92]
