As far as possible, changes to primary address numbers shall be consistent with the City of Olathe Addressing Guidelines, which are on file at the GIS Division. Changes to primary address numbers will be considered should any of the following conditions exist:

(A) The existing range of numbers overlaps an address range on a street in Johnson County, Kansas that has an identical or phonetically similar name.

(B) Old primary address numbers are no longer applicable because the topography has changed due to redevelopment.

(C) The existing numbers hinder the ability to locate the property or structure based on the assigned address.

The City of Olathe shall give written notice of a change in primary address numbers to the owners or occupants of the affected properties or buildings. Said notice shall contain the new primary address numbers and shall direct the owners or occupants to post the newly assigned numbers in a manner that complies with the provisions of the City of Olathe Building and Fire Codes. Said notice shall contain an explanation of the importance of displaying accurate primary address numbers and shall inform the owners that they have a grace period of ninety (90) days to post the newly assigned numbers. Failure to post newly assigned numbers within said ninety (90) day grace period shall constitute a violation of the City of Olathe Building and Fire Codes and shall be punishable according to the provisions therein.
