Section
2: DEFINITIONS AS USED
IN THIS ORDINANCE
Section 2.1 For the purpose of this Ordinance, the following terms, phrases, works and their derivations shall have the meaning that is provided in the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) Standard Guidelines as referenced by the United States Postal Service, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
Section 2.2 “Address number” means the number assigned to consecutive intervals along a street or road pursuant to the Number Assignment Formula contained herein.
Section 2.3 “Road” or “Street” means any public or private thoroughfare, used for vehicular traffic and/or any easement or right-of-way that provides sole access to more than two parcels or lots. This term shall be defined as the “Street Suffix” and shall include, but is not limited to; avenue, drive, way, boulevard, highway, lane, pike or similar street types.
Section 2.4 “Number Assignment Formula” means as follows: Beginning from the point of origin a house number shall be assigned for each interval, with each interval on the right side of the roadway as one leaves the point of origin being assigned an even number, and each interval on the left side as one leaves the point of origin being assigned an odd number. Left and right shall be determined from the perspective of a traveler moving away from the road point of origin in a forward motion.
Section 2.5 “Interval” means the distance along a roadway of 10.56 feet, there being 500 intervals per mile on both sides of a road.
Section 2.6 “Point of Origin” means the beginning point of a road, which is the starting point for a numbering sequence. The point of origin for an individual road may be adjusted, upon Commission approval, to avoid numbering conflicts.
Section 2.7 “Primary structure” means, but is not be limited to, residential building, mobile home parks, commercial building, industrial building, office building, public building, utility, communications tower.
Section 2.8 “Display” means the manner the numbers are affixed to a structure or otherwise displayed when affixing to a structure.
Section 2.9 “Non-compliance”
means any failure to comply with the provisions of this Ordinance including,
but not limited to, by way of example: a number out of sequence, odd or even
number on wrong side of street, rural box numbers in a 9-1-1 address area,
numbers improperly affixed, numbers illegible, numbers unclear, numbers
obstructed, numbers not visible, numbers not present, numbers of improper size,
numbers not in contrast with immediate background, weatherworn numbers, wrong
numbers, and non-approved numbers.
Section 2.10 “Occupant” is any person, firm, entity, partnership, trust, corporation, association or other organization that is occupying or leasing a building or other property for a period exceeding thirty (30) days.
Section 2.11 “Owner” is any and all persons, firms, entities, partnerships, trusts, corporation, associations, or other organizations that own the fee title to, or have an undivided interest in, any building or property, which is subject to the provisions of this Ordinance.
Section 2.12 “City-type address" means a unique address for a structure using a building number and street name. “City-type addresses” are based on an address system, which means that they usually appear in a consistent numeric sequence along a street and reflect parity conventions (that is, odd numbers all appear on one side of the street and even numbers on the other). If number assignment is based on a standard numbering interval, then the “city-type address” will also logically provide a distance location from the beginning point of the road.
Section 2.13 “Emergency services purposes” means use for 9-1-1 or enhanced 9-1-1 dispatch and response.
Section 2.14 “West Virginia Statewide Addressing and Mapping Project” means the project for the creation of a statewide addressing and mapping system for emergency services purposes, but usable as a base for other purposes, in accordance with and consistent with Chapter 24E, Article 1 of the West Virginia Code.
Section 2.15 “West Virginia Statewide Addressing and Mapping System” or “the System” means the system to be created as a result of the Project, in which Cabell County Commission is participating, including, without limitation, the establishment of city-type addressing and mapping systems essential to the prompt and accurate dispatch of emergency service providers. The terms “Statewide Addressing and Mapping System” and “the System” also include any local modifications that may be made to the System in order to tailor it to meet specialized local concerns.

Title
Dear Resident,
Cabell County is
responding to legislation enacted to establish city-type addresses throughout
all of West Virginia for Enhanced 9-1-1 service. The service is called Enhanced 9-1-1 because it displays the
address of the caller on a computer screen at a call answering center. If a caller is hysterical, becomes
unconscious, or is forced to hang up, the answering center will know exactly
where to send help. Those unfamiliar
with their location, such as out-of-state visitors, will also benefit.
To provide the exact
location of a caller, each telephone number must be linked to a city-type
address. A city-type address is a
unique address that clearly identifies where a property is located, such as 911
Country Road or 98 Pine Lane. A rural
route mailing address, such as RR1 Box 889, is not considered a city-type address.
Creating city-type
addresses requires naming all roads with unique names and assigning numbers
consistently to all properties. Once
the road names and property numbers are assigned and adopted by our
county/community, the new city-type addresses will be used primarily for 9-1-1
service. The US Postal Service,
utilities, delivery services, and others will also use these addresses.
Recently, our county
assigned an Addressing Coordinator to work with the state to create the
city-type addresses recommended for 9-1-1 service. The committee will be holding public meetings and contacting
residents to seek their comments during this addressing process. Citizen suggestions will specifically be
sought in the renaming of roads, if necessary, to eliminate duplicate or
similar-sounding road names and to name all public and private roads that are
currently unnamed.
If you have any questions
or wish to volunteer to assist addressing efforts, please contact the Cabell
County Addressing Coordinator below:
