FRONT YARD - The part of the required Total Open Space within Lot (TOSL) created by setbacks
along RROW. The front yard shall not be used as parking space as it is to be used as the

building/structure. Driveways, spaces for parking of a very temporary nature and hard and soft
landscaping may be introduced for the front yard.

fronts of lot.
PERCENTAGE OF SITE OCCUPANCY (PSO) - A quantity related to the Allowable Maximum
Building Footprint (AMBF) and the Total Lot Area (TLA) via the equation “PSO equals AMBF
divided by TLA”. The PSO is expressed as the percentage (%) of the maximum allowable
enclosed floor area of any building/structure at the ground floor/ grade level in relation to the
TLA.
SETBACK - The horizontal distance measured 90º from the outermost face of the
building/structure to the property lines.
