Addressing and Road Naming Ordinance
| The purpose and intent of this ordinance is to hereby establish a uniform system of road naming and renaming along both public and private roads. It also provides for a uniform system of addressing and numbering all structures within the jurisdiction of the County, and to establish a process for changing existing addresses and road names so that street, road, and highway names are not duplicated, or phonetically similar, in the County. The ordinance provides a method to correct inaccurate addresses that will help to greatly improve emergency service response to all parts of the County. | |
An additional purpose of this ordinance is to ensure that road name identification signs are placed at all road intersections. It also establishes a procedure for reviewing road names. This is necessary to facilitate public safety and emergency response service in locating properties and structures for service to the public.
