G ENERAL W ELFARE §14-82 (3) Provided the street has an official name, within fourteen calendar days of the filing of the application with the director, the director shall assign a building number and notify the applicant in writing of the assigned building number and any special requirements as to posting location, number size or other requirements. (4) For new buildings, the director will assign building numbers as part of the building permit process. If the location of the driveway to the property should change after the issuance of the building permit, the applicant or the applicant’s builder must notify the planning department prior to occupancy to determine whether a change in the building number is necessary. (b) Changing an address. (1) The director may change an address when it is out of sequence, does not conform to the numbering standards established in this article, is confusing, or might delay emergency response. If an address is changed, the director must notify the owner in writing at least thirty days before the effective date. (2) A property owner may apply for an address change for personal reasons by submitting an application for number change and paying a fee of $50. The director may deny the application if the proposed address does not meet the requirements of this article. (2004, ord 04-82, sec 2.)14-82 Section 14-83. Address numbering standards. (a) Numbering convention. Building numbers shall consist of whole numbers (no fractions) and shall be assigned based on an equal interval system. Under this system, the address is derived by measuring the distance along a street and dividing that distance by some equal interval to determine the address for a building. The number assigned shall be the numbered interval closest to the driveway or front entrance. The interval unit shall be small enough to provide an address to each potential building permitted in the zoning district. The director shall determine the appropriate interval unit for urban and rural areas. (b) Point of origin; odd and even numbering. For numbers assigned after August 14, 2004, numbers shall increase from the point of origin with even numbers on the right-hand side. In determining the point of origin, the director may consider any of the following: the existing pattern of surrounding streets; numbering pattern relative to mauka/makai directions; entrance to a cul-de-sac; and/or numbering pattern relative to east/west or north/south direction of the street. (c) Prefixes and suffixes. On parcels with multiple buildings, or in situations approved by the director, the assigned number may be followed by an alphabet letter to distinguish each building or units within a building. The director may add a prefix to any number, such as the tax map key zone. SUPP. 1 (1-2017) 14-35
