Sec. C6-1. Planning Commission to create and enlarge districts or areas where numbering desirable; assignment of numbers; proper numbering required.

The County Planning Commission is hereby authorized and directed to designate those districts or areas in the County of Santa Clara which lay outside the boundaries of any municipal corporation existing therein in which such a number of houses or residential buildings have been erected that it would constitute a public benefit to have each of such houses and buildings designated by a specific number so that its location and address may be more readily identified, and is further authorized and directed to assign a specific number to each such house and building located in all such districts, to be known as the house number.

The Commission is further empowered to create one or more such districts as may, in its judgment, be required for the purpose of making this division effective, and to create new districts, or alter or enlarge the size of any existing district created by it whenever it may consider it to the public benefit so to do.

Numbers shall be assigned to all houses in each such district in pursuance of a systematic plan, and provision shall be made for the assignment of numbers to new houses which may hereafter be erected in such districts, to the end that all such houses may ultimately be designated by numbers assigned in regular numerical order, according to the street, road or highway upon which the house may be located and in such manner as to make the same more readily found and identified, and to provide an address for each such house; and all houses and residential buildings shall be numbered to correspond with the number so assigned to it by the Director.

(Ord. No. NS-1200.87, § 1, 9-22-71)
