ARTICLE II. GRANT COUNTY ROAD AND SITE ADDRESS GRID SYSTEM
Z.O.36.200 GRID SYSTEM PRINCIPLES.
The Grant County Road and Site Address Grid System is composed of the following elements:
4
1) Q UADRANTS:
Grant County is divided into four quadrants: (1) Northwest (NW); (2) Northeast(NE);
(3) Southeast(SE); (4)Southwest(SW). The east-west parallel is the line running
between Public Land Survey System Township 18 North, W.M. and Township 19 �E
North, W.M.This line is known as Baseline.The north-south meridian is the line N�'
between Public Land Survey System Range 26 East, W.M. and Range 27 East,W.M. sE
sw
This line is known as Division.The baseline and meridian intersect in the approximate
center of the County, and form the four quadrants.
2) ROAD GRID:
The majority of Grant County roads run in straight lines and are predominantly spaced in one-mile
intervals, creating a grid of right angles across the County. Road names, as defined in Section
10.36.305, indicate approximate distance from the Baseline parallel and Division meridian.
3) ADDRESS BLOCKS:
a) Grant County is divided into one-mile square address blocks,the boundaries of which
correspond to Public Land Survey System sections.Address blocks contain one thousand
address numbers in the north-south direction, and one thousand address numbers in the
east-west direction.
b) East-west address blocks begin at zero at the Division meridian. Address blocks to the west
of the Division meridian increase sequentially moving west. That is,the first address block to
the west of Division contains the address numbers 0-999. The next address block to the
west contains the address numbers 1000-1999.Address blocks to the east of Division
increase sequentially moving east.
c) North-south address blocks begin at zero at the Baseline parallel.Address blocks to the
north of Baseline increase sequentially moving north. That is,the first address block to the
north of Baseline contains the address numbers 0-999.The next address block to the north
contains the address numbers 1000-1999.Address blocks to the south of Baseline increase
sequentially moving south.
ARTICLE III. ROAD NAMES
10.36.300 ROADS TO WHICH NAMING REQUIREMENTS APPLY.
1) New or unnamed existing public and private roads shall be named.
2) New or unnamed existing shared-use driveways providing access to more than one addressable
property,structure, or unit may be named if deemed appropriate by the county addressing
coordinator.
5
ZO.36.305 ROAD NAMING STANDARDS.
All new, unnamed, or renamed roads in unincorporated Grant County shall be named pursuant to
this article and the following criteria:
1) Roads that are neither diagonal nor winding shall be prefixed by the word Road or abbreviation
Rd.
2) Roads running predominantly easterly and westerly are named using Arabic numerals (e.g., 1, 2,
3, etc.), increasing sequentially northerly or southerly from Baseline,the east-west parallel.
a) Roads running predominantly along Public Land Survey System section lines (at a distance of
approximately one mile between each section) are named using a whole number.
b) Roads running between section lines are named usingthe whole number, a decimal point,
and the tenth of a mile away from the whole number that is closest to the road origin.
c) In unique circumstances,for purposes of public safety, roads running between the tenth of a
mile divisions may be named using the whole number, a decimal point, the closest tenth of a
mile, and five hundredths(e.g. Rd 10.45).
3) Roads running predominantly northerly and southerly are named using an alphabetical letter
(e.g.A, B, C, etc.), increasing sequentially easterly or westerly from Division,the north-south
meridian.
a) Roads running predominantly along Public Land Survey System section lines (at a distance of
one mile between) are named using a letter.
b) Roads running between section lines are named using the letter, a decimal point, and the
tenth of a mile closest to the road origin.
c) In unique circumstances,for purposes of public safety, roads running between the tenth of a
mile divisions may be named using the letter, a decimal point, the closest tenth of a mile,
and five hundredths (e.g. Rd B.25).
4) Roads running predominantly north-south or east-west, can change direction, creating a stair-
step pattern of nearly right-angle segments. To preserve the grid pattern of road names,the
assigned road name changes at each change in cardinal direction.
5) Diagonal and winding roads do not fit the grid system, and therefore are assigned a unique road
name approved by the Board of County Commissioners.
6) Roads within Planned Unit Developments are named according to the Grant County Unified
Development Code, Chapter 23.04 Zoning Districts, Section 23.04.800.
7) Unique road names are subject to the following criteria:
a) Road names shall be 16 characters or less, excluding road type classification and
quadrant designation.
6
b) Road names shall consist of no more than two words, excluding road type classification
and quadrant designation.
c) Road names shall be easily pronounced and spelled.
d) Road names shall not contain vulgarity or vulgar innuendo, nor insult to any person,
, group, or class of persons, or institution.
e) Variations of the same name with a different road type classification are considered
duplication.
f) Articles ("The," "A," or "An") shall not be used to begin road names.
g) Road names duplicating commercial or private facilities shall not be used.
h) The use of a name derived from a community name or geographic feature shall be
limited to use at locations in close proximity to such community or geographic features.
i) A proposed road which is a continuation of, or in alignment with, an existing road, shall
continue the road name of the existing road when possible.
, j) Roads that connect to each other and are not a natural extension of the existing road
may not start with the same word as the road name at the point of origin.
ZO.36.310 ROAD NAMING AUTHORITY.
1) Road names that conform to the grid system are assigned a grid-compliant road name by the
county addressing coordinator.
2) Names for roads that are winding, diagonal, or otherwise exempt from the grid system are
established by petition to the Board of County Commissioners. The petition shall include, at a
minimum, a site map showing road location, adjacent parcels, proof of legal approach, and shall
be accompanied by payment of the applicable fees. The petition shall be provided to the
addressing coordinator in advance of the Board of County Commissioners action for the purposes
of verifying the acceptability of the proposed road name. The Board of County Commissioners
shall take action to approve the petitioned road name during an appropriately advertised consent
agenda action,or shall set the petition for a public hearing in cases where additional consideration
is deemed to be necessary by the Board o�F County Commissioners.
10.36.315 ROAD TYPE CLASSIFICATION PREFIX OR SUFFIX.
1) Road names that conform to the grid naming system are prefixed by a road type classification,
which is always Road or the abbreviated form of Rd.
2) Road names that do not conform to the grid naming system are suffixed by a road type
classification, as follows:
a) Road classification may be one of the following: Avenue ("Ave"), Boulevard ("Blvd"), Court
("Ct"), Drive ("Dr"), Lane ("Ln"), Place ("PI"), Road ("Rd"), Street("St"), or Way.
7
b) Circles ("Cir") may be designated when the road is circular in shape.
c) Loops may be designated when a road begins and ends in two different locations along
another road.
10.3G.32O GRID QUADRANT SUFFIX.
Following the road name, roads will carry the appropriate grid quadrant suffix, NW, NE, SW or SE.
ZO.3C.325 ROAD NAME COMPONENTS.
Road names are structured with the following components.
1) Road names that conform to the grid naming system: Road type classification, Road name,
followed by Quadrant abbreviation (e.g., Road 1 NE or Rd 1 NE).
2) Road names that do not conform to the grid naming system: Road name,followed by road type
classification (e.g., Rd,Ave, Ln),followed by Quadrant abbreviation (e.g. Baird Springs Rd NW).
10.36.330 ROAD DIRECTION AND ORIGIN.
Road direction and origin are determined by the grid system.
1) The geographic direction of a road shall be determined by observing its overall length and noting
its general or predominant direction from the Baseline parallel or Division meridian.The direction
determines the road name (Section 10.36.305) as well as whether the road will be assigned an
address range in the north-south sequence or east-west sequence.
2) Each road shall have a designated origin.The origin of a north-south running road is the end of
the road closest to Baseline.The origin of an east-west running road is the end closest to
Division. The origin determines the location of the lowest digit of the address range for the road
segment.
10.36.335 DUPLICATE ROAD NAMES.
1) Road names derived from the grid system are duplicative by design.That is, multiple disconnected
segments of road running northerly-southerly or easterly-westerly are differentiated only by the
quadrant designation that follows the road name.The one-mile square address block identifiied in
the address number further locates a segment of interest.
2) Names that are not derived firom the grid system are not to be duplicated. The county addressing
coordinator may cite duplication in the following circumstances:
a) The name sounds like another name to the extent the two could be confused.
b) The name is the same as an existing name, but the road classification type (Rd, St, Ave, etc.)
is different.
3) In the event existing named roads are considered duplicated and are subsequently renamed
under this chapter, all of the standards set forth in Section 10.36.305 shall apply. In addition,
the following shall be considered and may be applied:
8
a) Historically significant road names shall be retained where feasible. The desire to maintain
these road names to commemorate local history shall be balanced with the stated purpose
of this chapter.
b) If two exisfiing roads have duplicate names such that one road name must be changed,the
first road to us�the name shall retain that name. If it cannot be determined or verified which
road used the name first,the road with fewer addressed structures or units shall be
renamed.
10.36.340 NON-CONFORMING EXISTING ROAD NAMES.
Existing road names that do not conform to the provisions of this chapter shall stand until one of�the
following occur:
1) An application to rename the road is received and approved.
2) The county addressing coordinator determines a need to rename to improve public safety.
3) A city annexation creates a situation in which renaming affected unincorporated area roads
would improve clarity or public safety.
10.36.345 FINAL SUBDIVISION ROAD NAMES.
All final subdivisions in which new roads or driveways subject to this ordinance are proposed shall be
identified on the face of the final subdivision map prior to recording and shall be con�istent with the
approved preliminary subdivision.
10.36.350 ROAD NAME CORRECTIONS OR REQUESTS TO RENAME A ROAD.
1) The county addressing coordinator shall consider all requests to correct road names and
determine if a correction is necessary.The county addressing coordinator shall notify
stakeholders of road name corrections.
2) Requests to rename roads shall be considered if any of the following conditions are met:
a) The road alignment is neither diagonal nor winding and the name change would further
compliance with the county grid system.
b) The road alignment is either diagonal or winding and the name change is in the interest of
clarity or public safety.
3) Requests to rename roads shall be made by petition to the Department.The petition shall
include, at a minimum, proponent's name and contact information, a site map showing the road
location, a statement explaining the reasons for renaming the road, and shall be accompanied
by payment of the applicable fees.
4) The following persons or agencies are authorized to apply to Grant County to rename a road
within unincorporated Grant County:
9
a) An owner of property abutting the road, or having legal access to the owner's property by
such road,for which renaming is requested;

structures, driveways, and road approach location(s), proof of legal access at the road approach
location(s), and shall be accompanied by payment of the applicable fees as determined by the
applicable fee schedule.
10.36.510 ASSIGNED ADDRESSES.
1) Within each square-mile address block,there are one thousand available addresses,five hundred
on each side of the road.
2) With the exception of circles and loops,even numerical designations shall be assigned to the north
and west sides of roads and odd numerical designations shall be assigned to the south and east
sides of roads in all quadrants. When possible, even and odd numerical designations shall be
assigned in sequence and opposite one another.
3) Addresses assigned from a circle or loop shall be numbered in sequence beginning at the point of
origin and proceeding progressively around such circles or loops.
4) Address numbers are calculated based on a measurement in feet from the beginning of the
square-mile address block to the location at which the primary driveway access approaches the
named road providing service to the driveway.The distance in feet is noted, as well as the cardinal
direction from which the driveway approaches the named road. The distance in feet is typically
divided by 5.28 to account for the approximate distance in feet between the 1000 available
addresses within the one-mile block.The resulting number is added to the number of the address
block and then may be adjusted by one based on the cardinal direction noted previously, as it
dictates if the address will be even or odd. The county addressing coordinator may grant minor
exceptions as necessary.
5) Addresses inside an Urban Growth Area and along roads that continue from the city to the county
jurisdiction shall be assigned using the county grid system. If the county addressing coordinator
determines that the interests of public safety require an exception, the county addressing
coordinator may coordinate with the city addressing authority to assign an address usingthe city's
address system.

closely identifies the unit type: "Apt"for apartment, "Rm" for room, "Bldg"for building, "Dept"for
department, "Ste"for suite, "Spc"for space, "FI"for floor, "Unit"for unit, and "Lot"for lot.
3) When unit numbers are assigned to buildings with multiple levels,the first numeral shall
represent the floor upon which a unit is located.
4) Unit designators shall be assigned in sequence, beginning at the lowest point on the grid system.
10.36.530 TEMPORARY ADDRESSES.
Temporary addresses are not allowed.
