    SECTION R319
    SITE ADDRESS

    R319.1 Building Numbering.

    R319.1.1 Definitions.

    For the purpose of administering the numbering of buildings, the following definitions shall apply:

     1. "Building Numbering" means those numbers and/or letters as may be needed to identify building(s) at a municipal street address.

     2. "Municipal Street Address" means the building numbering used in conjunction with the street name and assigned by the Planning Division of the City of El Paso for the purposes of identifying individual properties.

     3. "Prominently Displayed" means that which is uniformly located, readily noticeable, and easily readable from the street during normal daytime atmospheric conditions by a person having normal vision.

    R319.1.2 Municipal Street Address Identification. Building numbering shall be displayed on all buildings for which a municipal street address has been assigned. In order to provide for the prominent display and uniform location of municipal street addresses, residential building numbering shall comply with the following:

     1. Building numbering shall be displayed in characters having a minimum height of four (4) inches.

     2. For properties fronting on a street with curbs, building numbering shall be mounted or painted on the face of the curb in close proximity to the entry driveway. In the case of a corner property fronting on two streets with the driveway located on the street that is not the street name of the municipal street address, the building numbering shall be mounted or painted in a prominent location on the face of the curb fronting on the addressed Street.

     3. For other properties, building numbering shall be located on the building wall fronting the addressed street or on another permanent structure that fronts on the addressed street and is closer to the street than the building wall.

     4. It is recommended, but not required, that building numbering for residential buildings meet the requirements of building numbering for other buildings described in Chapter 18.08.

    R319.1.3 Administration and Enforcement. The requirements of this Section shall be administered as part of the building permit and inspection process. The building official shall refuse the issuance of a final inspection and certificate of occupancy unless the building numbering has been provided as required by this Section.

    R319.1.4 Alternate Building Numbering Location. The building official shall be authorized to approve alternate location(s) for building numbering required under this Section when the owner of the property satisfactorily demonstrate that the alternate location(s) provide(s) an equivalent degree of visibility and readability.
