Notes/Comments
|
An Address Reference System may include the entire area of a city or county jurisdiction, or it may only include a portion thereof. Military bases, and some university campuses are addressed under Address Reference Systems that are maintained by the Base Commander for military bases, and by the State Department of Education (or the University system) for campuses. These often exist within the boundaries of a city, and are within county areas as well, but have their own schemes.
Each Address Reference System is defined geographically, and should not (although many do so) overlap other Address Reference Systems that are in current use.
Historical Address Reference System extents may be maintained, especially where an area under a county Address Reference System has been annexed into a city. The city may choose to maintain the county's numbering, and it will be useful, if additional development occurs, to have access to the previous Address Reference System to insure correct and consistent addressing with it.
