A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
DIAMOND BAR, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING A DEPOSIT
FEE FOR THE PROCESSING OF STREET ADDRESS NUMBER
CHANGES
WHEREAS, Title 16 of the Los Angeles County Code, as adopted
by the City of Diamond Bar, establishes a system for the numbering
of structures; and
WHEREAS, requests are periodically made through the Public
Works Department to change or alter existing street address
numbers; and
WHEREAS, the City's numbering system does have some
flexibility and subject to various criteria can, on occasion, after
appropriate review, accommodate the request for changes to street
address numbers; and
WHEREAS, processing of street address numbers through the
Public Works Department involves other public agencies, utilities
and other City Departments and creates a specific work load and
related costs to the City of Diamond Bar.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR,
CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOLVE:
SECTION 1. The owner(s) of a building may submit an appli-
cation to the City Engineer for a change in the number of that
building.
SECTION 2. The application shall state the name of the
owner(s), the current and requested street address of the building,
the owner's telephone number, and the effected property's
assessor's parcel number. Each application must be accompanied by
a title policy, current tax bill, or other document which
demonstrates the applicant is the legal owner of the property, and
the deposit fee as established by this Resolution. Applications
not complying with the above requirements shall not be accepted.
SECTION 3. The City Engineer shall review all applications to
determine whether the proposed number, substantially conforms to
the City policy and ordinances regarding street numbering.
SECTION 4. The policy applicable to the processing of street
address number changes shall be as follows:
(a). All numbers will -be assigned in accordance with the City
policy, and as such may be amended.
(b). To ensure an orderly sequence of numbers, numbers shall
only be changed and issued in conformance with existing successive
patterns of block numbers and house numbers.
(c). Numbers assigned shall be consistent with the true
location and orientation of the buildings being numbered with
consideration being given to primary driveway and access location.
No consideration will be given to assign a new address number from
a secondary street.
(d). Only whole numbers will be issued.
(e). Odd numbers shall only be assigned to the north and west
sides of a street, and even numbers shall only be assigned to the
south and east sides of a street.
SECTION 5. Upon approval of a new street address number by the
City Engineer, the City Engineer shall direct the building number
to be changed only after notice of the change has been provided to
all necessary agencies requiring such notice. Approval of
applications shall be in the sole discretion of the City Engineer.
SECTION 6. Street address number change application shall be
subjected to the payment of a deposit fee in the amount of
$1,000.00.
SECTION 7. The $1,000.00 application fee is the estimated
cost of processing the street address number change application.
This is based on an estimated average of ten-hour staff time per
request at $75.00/hour plus miscellaneous related costs. If the
actual costs incurred do not exceed this amount, the unused
portion of the deposit fee will be refunded by the City. City
shall maintain records of the time expended upon each application
received and processed.
SECTION 8. The existence of this process, and the imposition
of a deposit fee, does not in any way commit the City or the City
Public Works Department to approve a street address number change
application.
SECTION 9. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of
this Resolution.
Passed, approved, adopted this 18th day of February, 1992.
