A. The owner, occupant, tenant, lessee or any other person or entity with a legal or equitable interest in any building which is habitable for residential, commercial, business, storage, or other purposes shall conspicuously display the numerical designation assigned to such building by the department. The numerical designation shall be easily legible with numerals not less than three inches in height and the numerals shall be displayed upon a contrasting background. Numeral and background colors shall be compatible with the building colors.

The numerical designation shall be displayed upon the building unless the building is not clearly visible from an adjacent way-of-travel. For buildings not clearly visible from an adjacent way-of-travel, the numerical designation shall be displayed near the main entrance to the property upon which the building is situated. Sign location and dimensions shall be approved by the department.

B. Buildings which are accessory to buildings which are required to be numerically designated need not, but may, be numerically designated. Unimproved real property need not, but may, be numerically designated. (Ord. 750 § 1, 1997; Ord. 462 § 7, 1985).
