Interior Lot

A parcel with street-access on one side and an alley or separate parcel on the opposite. An
additional parcel sits on each side of an interior lot.

Porch

A raised, roofed platform attached to the front wall of a building. The primary entry to a
building opens onto the porch. A porch can project from the front-façade or be recessed
into the building form. A porch must be open on at least one (1) side, must be roofed and
must not be taller than the height of the first story of a building. The roof of the porch is
permitted to extend above the first story of the building. The minimum dimensions for a
porch are 10’ wide x 6’ deep.

Stoop

A stoop is a small, raised platform that serves as an entryway to a building. A stoop is open
on three sides and is raised off the ground. It is defined primarily by its lack of roof with
structural support and instead may be covered by a canopy or awning that projects from the
primary structure. The minimum dimensions of a stoop are 4’ wide by 4’ deep. A stoop must
not be more than 10’ deep, and must not be taller than the height of the first story of the
building (if a roof is utilized).

Floor Height

The floor height is measured from the base of the floor to the ceiling of the story.

Street

A primary vehicular way or thoroughfare that provides access to the front of each property
on a block. On corner lots, a property can also be accessed by a second street that runs
parallel to the side wall of the building.

Street-Facing Wall

Any side of a building that faces the street (or the common courtyard in the cottage court
building form). A street-facing façade/street-facing wall may refer to multiple wall planes on
a building that face the street.
