SECTION 1 - ADDRESSING SYSTEM

1.3 ADDRESSING SYSTEM OUTLINED: The official physical (situs) addressing system for the unincorporated areas of Pacific County is more specifically outlined as follows:

a) (i) Raymond Adjacent Areas. Except when determined not to be feasible, the addressing system established and implemented by the City of Raymond with the enactment of its Ordinance No. 305 (and amended by its Ordinance No. 469) will extend into those unincorporated areas adjacent to the City of Raymond lying northerly and southerly of the city limits, as well as that portion of the East Raymond area lying northerly of State Route 6 east of Crossing Street and southerly of the Willapa River.

(ii) South Bend Adjacent Areas. Unless determined not to be feasible, the addressing system utilized by the City of South Bend that begins with 100N, 100S, 100E, or 100W, as applicable, at the intersection of Kendrick and Water Streets and increments by 100 in each of the four directions with each platted block will extend into those unincorporated areas adjacent to the City of South Bend lying southerly and northeasterly of the city limits.

b) South Beach Area. Addressing begins at the northwest corner of the northeast quarter of the southeast quarter of Section 18, Township 16 North, Range 11 West, W.M. (in Grays Harbor County) and increases southerly to Willapa Bay and easterly through Tokeland. Even numbers are assigned to buildings facing the north or east sides of the roads while buildings facing the south or west sides are assigned odd numbers. Numerical designations are reserved every thirteen and two-tenths (13.2) feet, or four hundred (400) addresses per mile.

c) Long Beach Peninsula Area. Addressing begins one block (264 feet) west of the southwest corner of the southeast quarter of Section 32, Township 10 North, Range 11 West, W.M. (near the North Head Lighthouse) and increases northerly to the end of the Long Beach Peninsula and easterly to Willapa Bay (S.R. 101 "bypass") at twenty (20) streets per mile. The west-to-east roads are numbered while the south-to-north roads are lettered. After the first series of twenty-six (26) south-to-north roads (A through Z), the next series are one-syllable, ascending-lettered names (i.e. Ash, Birch, Crane), then two-syllable names, etc.. Even numbers are assigned to buildings facing the south or east sides of the roads while buildings facing the north or west sides are assigned odd numbers.

d) Other Unincorporated Areas. Numerical designations are reserved every decameter (32.8 feet), approximately one hundred sixty (160) addresses per mile. Numbering begins at zero at each road's origin, as defined by the responsible County official(s), with even numbers assigned to buildings on the right sides of the roads and odd numbers assigned to buildings on the left sides.

1.4 PHYSICAL ADDRESSES: Physical (situs) addresses will be described in the following sequence: numerical building designation, road name, rental unit (apartment, space, floor, etc.) numerical identifier, community name, and State. (EXAMPLE: 413 Frosty Lane, Space 4, Seaview, Washington).

1.5 MAILING ADDRESSES: Mailing addresses are assigned by the local United States Postmaster. Postal service community names may vary from the community names mentioned in this ordinance and assigned by the County as a part of the physical (situs) address.

SECTION 2 - BUILDING IDENTIFICATION

2.1 BUILDING DEFINED. Buildings are structures serving as single- or multiple-family dwellings, businesses, public services, etc. Care must be taken in distinguishing between units when multi-family dwellings are served by a common vehicle access and there are multiple floors and/or buildings. Refer to Section 1.4 above. Minor structures near main buildings are considered part of the main building.

2.3 DISPLAY OF BUILDING NUMBER. Building owners will display their building's numerical designation so that it is legible from its access road by occupants of vehicles approaching from either direction. If not visible from the access road to the building, the numerical designation will be displayed near the intersection of the access road and the road of origination. Numerals must be at least four (4) inches tall and of a contrasting color to the background.

SECTION 3 - ROAD IDENTIFICATION

3.3 PRIVATE ROADS: A private road is defined as "a vehicle access route serving four (4) or more buildings owned by separate individuals." Every private road will be uniquely and concisely named with a "LANE" suffix designation. Private road names will be added to the official Pacific County road maps and road name index maintained by the ENGINEER.

New private roads (created after the adoption of Ordinance No. 135 or this ordinance, as applicable) will be named following the applicable scheme provided herein by the property owner(s) and/or the developer(s) subject to the approval of the ENGINEER. New private roads also must be signed and maintained according to the requirements of the ENGINEER at the expense of the property owner(s) and/or the developer(s) served.

SECTION 4 - RENTAL UNIT IDENTIFICATION

Property owners will be responsible for ensuring the individual apartment, space, or unit identifiers are properly displayed where there are multiple dwelling rental units within a building, dwelling rental spaces, and/or rental business units on a property, etc. Rental property owners will also be responsible for notifying each renter or lessee of the rental address.
