DENY the request of the appellants to maintain 249 N. Peters Rd., Suite 101 as their mailing address because they have moved from the first floor to the second floor of a three story building which triggers the need for a new suite numberThe appellant is objecting to the decision of the MPC addressing staff to require them to change their address from 249 N. Peters Rd., Suite 101 to 249 N. Peters Rd., Suite 201. This matter began after staff received a copy of a certified letter the U.S. Postal Service had sent to the building owner. The letter from the Postal Service stated that tenant suite numbers were arbitrarily changed without review and approval of the MPC addressing personnel. At that time, a new tenant had moved into the building that had previously been occupied by the appellant. The appellant had moved to the second floor of the building and continued to use the suite number (101) that had been assigned their first floor location. The Postal Service informed the building owner that they will not change the point of delivery for the address in question without review and approval by the addressing staff.
Shortly thereafter Mr. Stephen Jaquish, representing the building owner, contacted the addressing staff requesting assistance with this matter. Ms. Donna Hill of the MPC addressing staff reviewed the request and provided the Mr. Jaquish with a list of revised addresses for all the existing tenant spaces in the building. These revised addresses included the appellant's office location. At that time the appellant's new address would have been 251 N. Peters Rd., Suite 201. In a letter dated August 19, 2014, the appellant requested that they be permitted to maintain 249 N. Peters Rd., Suite 101 as their address. After conducting a field review, the addressing staff agreed that the base address of 249 N. Peters Rd. would be acceptable. However, the staff informed the appellant on September 3, that the suite number would have to be changed from 101 to 201. As result, this appeal was filed so the matter could be heard by MPC as permitted by the Street Naming and Addressing Ordinance.
