2. Definitions:
| Return to table of contents | Title Page |
Base parcel:
The lot or lots that are subdivided by a plan, other than in the case of a Building Format plan. (For the definition of Base Parcel in a Building Format plan see Direction 9.1)
Bounding surface:
means the limiting feature of a volumetric parcel. This may be a plane or any surface that can be mathematically generated and sufficiently defined and shown on a plan such that there is no possibility of ambiguity.
Building:
when applied to a parcel indicates that that parcel is generally defined by floors, walls and ceilings. *see note
Delineate:
means to show the extent of a lot or common property by a line diagram on a building format plan, drawn to scale, and to provide an approximate area for each lot in accordance with these Directions.
Dimension:
means to place bearings and distances on the boundaries of a parcel, in accordance with the requirements of the provisions of legislation, survey standards and survey guidelines in force at the time (See Direction 1.2) and any Directions made by the Registrar.
Footprint:
- means the vertical projection of the outermost bounds of a volumetric parcel onto a horizontal plane approximately at ground level.
- An overall footprint means the vertical projection of the outermost bounds of a volumetric parcel, regardless of any internal division into parts, onto a horizontal plane approximately at ground level.
Parcel:
means a lot, part lot, easement, lease, profit a prendre, covenant, common property, or exclusive use area.
Remainder:
when applied to a lot indicates that that lot is the remainder of a base parcel consisting of standard format lots after a volumetric lot or lots or building format lots and common property have been subdivided out of it. *see note
Restricted:
- When applied to an easement indicates that that easement is restricted in either height and/or depth by a horizontal plane.
- When applied to an existing lot indicates that that lot is restricted in height or depth by a defined distance below the surface, or by defined planes. (See Directions 8.7 and 10.2.3). *see note
Standard:
when applied to a parcel indicates that that parcel is unlimited in height and depth. *see note
Volumetric:
when applied to a parcel indicates that that parcel is fully limited by bounding surfaces. *see note
* Note: Unless specifically provided in these Directions, parcels are not to be qualified on any plan or document by the adjectives "Building", "Remainder", "Restricted", "Standard" or "Volumetric".
