The Addressing Subcommittee of the City-County GIS Committee proposed a parcel addressing standard entitled “Cole County / City of Jefferson Standard Addressing Procedure” which they proposed for adoption by the Cole County Commission and the City Council of the City of Jefferson. From the City’s perspective, the purpose of this document was two fold:
- To expand and clarify portions of the City’s existing code pertaining to addressing by defining how multiple units within a building were identified, the continuation of existing street names, defining how directional attributes were assigned, and establishment of private street names; among other features; and
- To require a uniform and consistent method of entering address information (geocodes) in all computer databases used within the various departments and divisions of Cole County or Jefferson City governments.
This standard was extremely important for the successful implementation of a City-County Geographic Information System, as it permitted the sharing and analysis of information stored within the various databases through common address fields and promoted a consistent method of assigning addresses.
The Addressing Subcommittee included representatives from the US Postal Service, Cole County Assessor’s Office, Cole County Public Works and staff of Jefferson City’s Planning and GIS divisions.
