Sec. 19-99. - Applicable rules.
The following rules shall apply in the numbering of buildings:
(1) The reference streets for numbering are:
a. North Tryon Street from Trade Street to Charlotte City Limits; thence along U.S. Highway 29 to the Cabarrus County line.
b. South Tryon Street from Trade Street to Camden Road; thence along Camden Road to the Southern Railroad; thence along the Southern Railroad south to the beginning of Nations Crossing Road; crossing I-77 and running along Marshall Air Drive; thence along Nations Ford Road to the York County Line.
c. West/Trade Street from Tryon Street to Rozzelles Ferry Road; thence along Rozzelles Ferry Road to Valleydale Road; thence along Mount Holly Road to the Gaston County line.
d. East Trade Street from Tryon Street to South McDowell Street; thence along South McDowell Street to East Fourth Street; thence along East Fourth Street to Randolph Road; thence along Randolph Road to Sardis Road; thence along Sardis Road to Matthews Township Parkway; thence along Matthews Township Parkway to John Street in Matthews; thence south along John Street to the Union County Line.
(2) Streets intersecting these streets shall begin at number 100, the second block shall begin at number 200, the third block shall begin at number 300, and so on.
(3) Going away normally from these reference streets the even numbers shall be on the right hand side and the odd numbers shall be on the left hand side.
(4) Lots, which do not have frontage on the street being numbered but achieve access off that street shall be numbered based upon where their access intersects the street.
(5) Other streets not intersecting reference streets and streets which are not extensions which intersect these reference streets shall, on the end of the street nearest a reference street begin with a block number which corresponds with an adjacent parallel street which does intersect one of these reference streets, and the same system, of numbering the block is to be followed out as noted in subsection (2), assigning a new 100 (or block number) to each block. If a block is 800 feet long or more with no intersecting street in between, then a new block number shall begin at the most logical place for a street to be cut through it, or half-way between the long block corners, or, if the street is long enough without intersecting streets, then new block numbers shall begin at intervals of 500 feet.
(6) A new block number is to be assigned to each block that enters the street being numbered, regardless of whether the street continues across it, and the block number shall change directly opposite the point where this dead end street enters the street being numbered. In case of a slight offset in intersecting streets, then the block number will change at the street intersections instead of directly opposite each entering street.
(7) Upon annexation by the city, city street names shall be extended to the new city limits and property owners shall receive street name change notification from the land use and environmental services agency.
