a. Upon adoption of a private street name, the street name petitioner shall be
responsible for placing street name sign(s) at the intersection(s) where the
Addressing official or designee designates along this roadway within thirty (30)
days of the roadway being officially names. The street name sign shall be
constructed and installed in accordance with this Section.

owners/residents adjacent to the referenced street in accordance with this
Section.
c. Private roadways renamed pursuant to this section shall be signed by the party

J. ADDRESSING STANDARDS:
1. Address Numbers:
a. The system by which addresses are assigned in Yavapai County (except in
incorporated areas and areas which retain a pre-existing address system) shall be
a grid system whereby address numbers increase in value from 0 at the baselines
at a rate of one thousand (1,000) numbers per mile (except in the Cottonwood and
Sedona address systems, see subsections J.5.c and J.5.3). Where possible,
thousand grid numbers shall correspond with section lines. Each thousand grid is
divided into ten hundred blocks of approximately equal length. Hundred blocks
may be expanded and contracted to fit street patterns so that a hundred block may
begin at an intersection rather than in the middle of a block.
b. Address numbers shall be assigned with even numbers on the north side of east-
west streets and the west side of north-south streets, and with odd numbers on the
sough side of east-west streets and the east side of north-south streets.
c. An address shall be complete and official only if it contains all the following
elements:
(1) Number (Value denoting distance from baseline. Fractions shall not be
included in an address number).
(2) Directional prefix (Indicating directions of street and its location within
the grid system). A Directional Prefix is typically not required in the
Sedona mile-post system.
(3) Street name and Suffix (As shown on address maps and recognized by the
Addressing Official).
d. When assigning addresses on a street that traverses through two grids, the
Addressing Official will assign the addresses using the grid representing the
Emergency Service Zone (ESZ) (i.e.: Law Enforcement Agency, Fire Protection
Agency, Emergency Medical Service and Primary PSAP for answering 9-1-1
calls) where the majority of the street is located.
2. Frontage:
