∙ Story, half. A space under a sloping roof which has the line of intersection of roof <br />decking and wall face not more than three (3) feet above the top floor level, and in which <br />space not more than two-thirds (2/3) of the floor area is finished for use. A half-story <br />containing independent apartment or living quarters shall be counted as a full story. <br /> ∙ Streets. A public or private way, consisting in the case of a private way of a roadway <br />and in the case of a public way of a roadway and a boulevard (the latter of which may <br />contain a sidewalk), used primarily for vehicular traffic, whether designated as a street, <br />avenue, parkway, road, lane, throughway, expressway, highway, place or however <br />otherwise designated. The term "streets" includes the following classifications: <br /> ∙ Collector street. A street which carries traffic from local streets to streets and <br />highways of higher classifications. It provides for both land access service and local traffic <br />movements within residential neighborhoods, commercial areas and industrial areas. <br /> ∙ Cul-de-sac. A street with a circular turn-a-round and only one outlet. <br /> ∙ Local street. A street of limited continuity used primarily for access to the abutting <br />properties and the local needs of a neighborhood. <br /> ∙ Minor arterial. A street system that interconnects with and augment the urban major <br />arterial system and provide service to trips of moderate length at somewhat lower level of <br />travel mobility than major arterials. This system distributes travel to geographical areas <br />smaller than those identified with the higher system. <br /> ∙ Major arterial. Usually a divided highway with four (4) or more lanes and serves the <br />major centers of activity of a metropolitan area, the highest traffic volume corridors, and <br />the longest trip desire. The major arterial carries a high proportion of the total urban area <br />travel on a minimum mileage. Almost all fully and partially controlled access facilities are a <br />part of this class. <br /> ∙ Expressway. A type of major arterial with a controlled access roadway and <br />expressway ramps to provide ingress or egress to other levels of streets. The use of <br />expressway ramps allows the uniform flow of traffic on a major arterial highway without <br />undue delays. <br /> ∙ Structural alterations. Any change in the supporting members of a building such as <br />bearing walls, columns, beams or girders, or any substantial changes in the roof and <br />exterior walls. <br /> ∙ Structure. Anything constructed, the use of which requires a permanent location on <br />the ground or attachment to something having a permanent location on the ground, <br />including, but not limited to, buildings, factories, sheds, detached garages, cabins, <br />manufactured homes, signs, recreational vehicles not meeting the exemption criteria <br />otherwise specified in the zoning code, and other similar items. <br /> ∙ Structure, accessory. A detached, subordinate structure, the use of which is incidental <br />and related to that of the principal use of or principal structure on the lot on which it is <br />located.
