“Zero lot line home” means a residential development approach in which a building is sited on one or more lot lines with no yard area along these lot lines. Conceivably, three of the four sides of the building could be on the lot lines. The intent is to allow more flexibility in site design and to increase the amount of usable open space on the lot. Zero lot line homes may only be built within the context of a zero lot line development.

“Zone” means an area within which: certain uses of land and buildings are permitted and certain others are prohibited; yards and other open spaces are required; lot areas, building height limits, and other requirements are established.

“Zoning district” means: any portion of the city within which, on a uniform basis, certain uses of land and buildings are permitted and certain other uses of land and buildings are prohibited as set forth in this code; and within which certain yards and other open spaces are required, certain lot areas are established, and a combination of such aforesaid conditions are applied.

“Zoning lot” means a single tract of land located within a single block which (at the time of filing for a development permit) is designated by its owner or developer as a tract to be used, developed or built upon as a unit under single ownership or control. A zoning lot may or may not coincide with a lot of record. (Ord. 929 Ch. 5, 1995).
