§ 951.06. Building and site numbering system.

The numbering of buildings and sites in the unincorporated areas of Indian River County shall be accomplished in accordance with the grid system as described in this chapter. The following methodology shall be utilized in determining the appropriate building and/or site number designation:

(1)

Basic grid reference.

(a)

All buildings and sites in the unincorporated areas of Indian River County shall be assigned whole numbers (no fractions) related to the existing basic grid system which establishes consecutively numbered "streets" and street projections as the north-south reference, and consecutively numbered "avenues" and avenue projections as the east-west reference.

(b)

All buildings and sites shall be considered to be located between two (2) consecutively numbered "streets" or "avenues" or their projections or extensions as they would appear on a grid laid out on a map of the county, regardless of whether or not the "streets" or "avenues" physically exist.

(2)

Number ranges. Numbers of all buildings and sites shall begin with the "hundred" (100) number of the lower of the two (2) consecutive "streets" or "avenues" (or equivalent grid projections) between which the site or building is located and will be evenly distributed between the intersecting "streets" so that any number on one street or avenue will occupy a corresponding location on a parallel "street" or "avenue" in any other part of the county.

(3)

Even and odd numbers. Except as provided for in section 951.06(4), even numbers shall be issued to building and sites on the north or east side of a public or private right-of-way. Odd numbers shall be issued to buildings and sites on the south or west side of a public or private right-of-way. Upstairs entrances shall be assigned a full number and no fractional numbers shall be used.

(4)

Numbering on "circle" and "square" road designations. On roads designated as a "circle" or "square", as described in section 951.05(3)(b), the building number sequence shall be as follows:

(a)

Building numbers shall increase sequentially in a clock-wise directions around the full perimeter of the "circle" or "square." Even numbers shall be designated for buildings on the inner side of "circle" or "square," and odd numbers designated for buildings on the outer side of the "circle" or "square."

(b)

Variation from numbering sequence. If it is determined by the county community development department that the numbering sequence described in section 951.06(4)(a) is not appropriate for a "circle" or "square" with reference to the surrounding grid pattern, the department reserves the right to issue road designations and building numbers in a manner best suited to the grid system.

(5)

Corner lot numbering. The assignment of numbers for buildings on corner lots shall be determined according to which public or private right-of-way the building faces, as determined by the community development director.
