A. A residence address for the purpose of initiative and referendum petition requirements is a locatable address where the person lives. A residence address is adequate only if it contains sufficient information to permit the person’s place of residence to be found by an ordinary person with no particular knowledge of the city area if such person is given the residence address information which appears on the petition, the official map of the city, the approved house number maps of the city, and relevant approved plan maps.
B. Notwithstanding the general definition provided in subsection A of this section, the following shall be deemed to be adequate residence addresses:

2. A United States survey number when the smallest recorded subdivision which is applicable to the property is included;
3. A milepost when accompanied by a road or highway name;
4. A boat harbor or marina name when the stall, slip, or boat name is also included;
5. A hotel or motel if the room number is included;
6. A trailer court if the space number or street name and number within the trailer court is given;
7. A house number with a street or highway name;
8. An apartment or condominium name when accompanied by an apartment or unit number.
C. The following types of addresses are inadequate as a residence address:
1. A street name without a house number;
2. A milepost without a highway or road name;
3. A highway or road name without a milepost or house number;
4. Alaska, Bethel, City Sub, Tundra Ridge, BIA housing, or any other similar designation by a geographic area or subdivision only;
5. A rural route box number;

7. A street, highway or road intersection;
8. Any address which is ambiguous either on its face or becomes ambiguous upon consulting a map or plat to which one would be led from the residence address information;
9. An illegible address.
D. If there is a dispute as to the adequacy of a residence address given by a person whose name has been rejected by the clerk, the name shall be rejected if it is determined that a house number has been assigned to the place of residence of the person whose name has been rejected unless the assigned street name and house number or an accurate legal description of the property has been used on the petition.
