§ 34-234. Uniform building numbering system.

The public health, safety, comfort, and welfare require a uniform system for the numbering of buildings within the city. In furtherance of this purpose, the numbering of all buildings within the corporate limits of the city shall be in conformity with the following system:

(1)

Address grid system. Each new subdivision, parcel, commercial unit, apartment or condominium, or townhouse will be assigned and address based on the street providing access to the property. Vehicular parcel access will determine street name and address number assignment as opposed to the direction the building may be facing. Addresses will be assigned based on the county-wide grid system, which is a quadrant grid extended from the City of Miami.

(2)

The centerline of N.W. 151st Street shall be taken as the basis of numbering from the south to the north on a unit basis of 25 feet per address number; and the buildings on the north and south avenues and thoroughfares which intersect that street shall begin to be numbered at that street and run north to the city limits.

(3)

The centerline of Miami Avenue shall be taken as the basis of numbering from the east to the west and from the west to the east on a unit basis of 25 feet per address number; and the buildings on the east and west streets and other thoroughfares which intersect Miami Avenue shall begin to be numbered at that avenue and run east to the city limits and west to the city limits.

(4)

All numbering of number units shall begin from the base thoroughfares, the north and east sides of the streets having the odd numbers and the south and west sides having the even numbers.

(5)

Address number units in a square shall increase in an arithmetical progression of two as the address number units recede from the base thoroughfare.

(6)

The address numbers in the first squares adjoining a base thoroughfare shall begin with one on the north and east sides and two on the south and west sides, and progress arithmetically by two for each successive address number unit space from the base thoroughfare, to the next street or avenue.

(7)

The numbering of address number units in each square shall begin with that hundred number indicating the number of squares it may be removed from the base thoroughfare, and numbers shall advance by hundreds only by squares.

(8)

In case of diagonal streets, avenues or places, or in case of streets, avenues or places which do not lend themselves to the designation or description of north and south or east and west, the planning and zoning department is hereby authorized and empowered to assign numbers which will be in keeping with the general plan set forth herein as applied to and contrasted with the numbers assigned in the vicinity.

(9)

All buildings, houses, portions of land and lots adjacent to or abutting (joining end to end) upon streets, avenues, places, terraces, courts, lanes and roads of the city shall be known and designated by the numbers indicated on the appropriate plats as retained by the city clerk's office.

(10)

Buildings on streets with similar names, such as cul-de-sacs with the same base name, but different type designations, shall not have identical numbering sequences.
