§ 20.02.022. Situs address assignment and standards.

The situs address of an addressable structure shall be determined based on the distance from the intersection of the driveway with the road and the nearest address grid index line. Additional information used to determine situs addresses is as follows:

(1)

Multiple Addressable Structures Sharing Driveway. If multiple addressable structures access a common driveway, they will be assigned situs addresses that numerically increase in proportion to the distance they lie away from the intersection of the driveway and the named road.

(2)

Corner and Double Fronting Parcels. Within urban and village reserve lines, corner and double fronting parcels shall be assigned a situs address based on the road which the principal pedestrian entrance of the addressable structure faces. If the entrance is not visible from that street, or is inaccessible for emergency services from the road the addressable structure faces, then the situs address shall be based on the road which the principal driveway intersects. Outside of urban and village reserve lines, the situs address shall be based on the road which the principal driveway intersects.

(3)

Multiple Units. Separate internal units within, or associated with, residential or business complexes shall have a singular situs address and be uniquely identified by the use of a suffix as determined below:

a.

"Apartment." Designation for individual units within an apartment complex.

b.

"Unit." Designation for individual units within a residential or commercial condominium complex, business complex.

c.

"Space." Designation for individual units within a mobilehome, recreational vehicle, cabin or moorage development.

(4)

Vacant Parcels. Vacant parcels less than one acre may be preaddressed at the discretion of the department of planning and building. This preaddress shall be assigned to the center point of the parcel frontage and is subject to change at the time an application for a construction permit for an addressable structure is requested in order to comply with this section.

(5)

Accessory Structures. Accessory structures, as defined in Chapter 20.05 (Definitions), shall not be assigned a situs address.
