(a) "Lot" means a division of land separated from other divisions for purposes of sale, lease or separate use, described on a recorded subdivision plat, recorded survey map or by metes and bounds.
(See also Section 1123.03 of the Planning and Platting Code.)
(b) "Lot of record" means land designated as a separate parcel on a plat map or deed in the records of the County.
(c) "Zoning lot" means a parcel of land abutting a dedicated street, occupied or intended to be occupied by a main and/or accessory use or a main or accessory building as a unit together with such open space as required by the Zoning Code. Unless the context clearly indicates the contrary, the term "lot" is used synonymously with "zoning lot" in the Zoning Code and it may or may not coincide with a lot of record.
(d) "Corner lot" means a lot abutting on two streets at their intersection, if the interior angle of intersection is not more than 135 degrees.
(e) "Interior lot" means a lot other than a corner lot or through lot.
(f) "Through lot" means a lot which has two street lines opposite each other, and which adjoins public, common or private land, including a public street.
(g) "Front lot line" means the lot line separating an interior lot from the street upon which it abuts or the shortest lot line of a corner lot which abuts upon a street. Unless the context clearly indicates the contrary, it shall be construed as synonymous with "street line".
(h) "Rear lot line" means a lot line parallel or within forty-five degrees of being parallel to the front lot line.
(i) "Side lot line" means a lot line which is neither a front nor rear lot line.
(j) "Lot depth" means the mean horizontal distance of a lot measured between the front and rear lot lines.
(k) "Lot width" means the horizontal distance of a lot measured along the setback or minimum building line established by this Code and at a right angle to the mean depth line. Width at the front lot line is measured on the street line.
(l) "Private land" means land in a subdivision or development area which is adjoining, attached and assigned to the land occupied by a one-family or townhouse dwelling, held as an open space in common ownership with other dwellings in the subdivision or development area, and which shall be identified on subdivision and development plans submitted to the City. It is similar to the term "exclusive use of the limited common areas" under condominium property.
(m) "Common land" means land in a subdivision or development area not owned as private land or occupied by dwellings created for common usage by restrictions, easements, covenants or other conditions running with the land, and which is held for the use and enjoyment by or for the owners or occupants of the dwellings in a development area. It is similar to the term "undivided common areas and facilities" under condominium property.
(n) "Homes association" means an incorporated, nonprofit organization operating under recorded land agreements through which each lot owner of a development area is a member and each lot is subject to charges for a proportionate share of the expenses for the organization's activities such as maintaining the common property.
