STD
2005/06/07		 URBAN_TERRAIN_ZONE_TYPE ATTACHED_1 Centres of older <CITY>s with high concentrations of <BUILDING>s with multiple <FLOOR_LEVEL>s (5 to 50); Attached1. <BUILDING>s occupy nearly all of their lots and are flush to <SIDEWALK>s and they either attach or abut neighbours. Usually bordered by <<<ATTACHED_1>>> and <<<DISCRETE_CLUST_1>>> zones. 1 IR [UTZB]  
STD
2005/06/07		 URBAN_TERRAIN_ZONE_TYPE ATTACHED_2 <BUILDING>s fill lots to their perimeters, but are not as tall as those in <<<ATTACHED_1>>>; Attached2. <BUILDING>s are attached or abutted to neighbours, are flush to <STREET>s, and are typically 5 to 10 <FLOOR_LEVEL>s. Land use is mainly <APARTMENT_HOUSE>s with some <HOTEL>s and offices. 2 IR [UTZB]  
STD
2005/06/07		 URBAN_TERRAIN_ZONE_TYPE ATTACHED_3 Attached or abutted individual <BUILDING>s (for example: row houses), typically of 1 to 4 <FLOOR_LEVEL>s and most often residential. <BUILDING>s have little or no setback from <SIDEWALK> and they usually have a narrow back yard; Attached3. 3 IR [UTZB]  
STD
2005/06/07		 URBAN_TERRAIN_ZONE_TYPE ATTACHED_4 Attached or abutted <BUILDING>s, 2 to 10 <FLOOR_LEVEL>s, flush to the <STREET> with no setback or side set; Attached4. The<BUILDING>s have industrial or storage functions with little space for parking. Non-built-upon space is primarily for storage of <MATERIAL>. 4 IR [UTZB]  
STD
2005/06/07		 URBAN_TERRAIN_ZONE_TYPE ATTACHED_5 Attached or abutted <BUILDING>s, along commercial ribbon <STREET>s; Attached5. Typically 1 to 5 <FLOOR_LEVEL>s, and old in age (newer types are typically of the <<<DISCRETE_CLUST_5>>> zone), with no setback from <SIDEWALK>s. The <BUILDING>s often have a commercial function on the ground <FLOOR>, with apartments above. 5 IR [UTZB]  
STD
2005/06/07		 URBAN_TERRAIN_ZONE_TYPE ATTACHED_6 Attached <BUILDING> or <BUILDING>s, 1 to 7 <FLOOR_LEVEL>s; Attached6. Attached6 often has a single institutional <LAND> use along a <STREET> otherwise occupied by office <BUILDING>s or stores, e.g., a <CHURCH>, <GOVERNMENT_BUILDING>, or a <HOSPITAL_BUILDING>. This is in effect a single instance of a differing <BUILDING> rather than a zone of multiple <BUILDING>s. 6 IR [UTZB]  
STD
2005/06/07		 URBAN_TERRAIN_ZONE_TYPE ATTACHED_BUILDINGS Attached <BUILDING>s of an unknown type or function. 7 IR [UTZB]  
STD
2005/06/07		 URBAN_TERRAIN_ZONE_TYPE CLOSE_SET_BUILDINGS Close-set <BUILDING>s of an unknown type or function. 8 IR [UTZB]  
STD
2005/06/07		 URBAN_TERRAIN_ZONE_TYPE DISCRETE_CLUST_1 Newer (post 1950) high-rise <BUILDING>s (20 to 50 <FLOOR_LEVEL>s) that often have "skins" of some decorative <MATERIAL> (for example: glass); Discrete-cluster1. Typical use is for office <BUILDING>s, while some are <HOTEL>s. <BUILDING>s are spaced at approximately 13 metres. 9 IR [UTZB]  
STD
2005/06/07		 URBAN_TERRAIN_ZONE_TYPE DISCRETE_CLUST_2 Close-set apartment <BUILDING>s (3 to 10 <FLOOR_LEVEL>s) with some set back from the lot <BOUNDARY>; Discrete-cluster2. <BUILDING>s are usually long and narrow with the narrow end to the <STREET>. Maximum spacing of the <BUILDING>s is 13 metres. 10 IR [UTZB]  
STD
2005/06/07		 URBAN_TERRAIN_ZONE_TYPE DISCRETE_CLUST_3 Common single family detached <STRUCTURE>s occupying a minimum amount of <LAND>; Discrete-cluster3. <HOUSE>s are set back from the <STREET>, but have narrow separations between them, and narrow back yards. Maximum spacing of the <BUILDING>s is 13 metres, and <BUILDING>s are typically 1 to 3 <FLOOR_LEVEL>s. 11 IR [UTZB]  
STD
2005/06/07		 URBAN_TERRAIN_ZONE_TYPE DISCRETE_CLUST_4 Narrow, close-set <BUILDING>s (2 to 10 <FLOOR_LEVEL>s) adjoining <RAILWAY_TRACK>s with docks for access by <GROUND_VEHICLE>s; Discrete-cluster4. <BUILDING>s are often long and narrow, with the narrow end abutting the <RAILWAY_TRACK>s. Maximum spacing of the <BUILDING>s is 13 metres. 12 IR [UTZB]  
STD
2005/06/07		 URBAN_TERRAIN_ZONE_TYPE DISCRETE_CLUST_5 Detached <BUILDING>s (1 to 5 <FLOOR_LEVEL>s) set back from the <STREET> to provide parking and access; Discrete-cluster5. These <BUILDING>s often exhibit store <WINDOW>s at front. The majority of the <TERRAIN> is used for parking <GROUND_VEHICLE>s. Maximum spacing of the <BUILDING>s is 13 metres. 13 IR [UTZB]  
STD
2005/06/07		 URBAN_TERRAIN_ZONE_TYPE DISCRETE_CLUST_6 Master planned development with specifically set <BUILDING>s of 1 to 7 <FLOOR_LEVEL>s, and vegetated <SITE>s that provide elegantly designed facilities and a sense of openness; Discrete-cluster6. Uses include <SCHOOL_BUILDING>s, colleges, <HOSPITAL_BUILDING>s, or <CHURCH>s. Maximum spacing of the <BUILDING>s is 13 metres. 14 IR [UTZB]  
STD
2005/06/07		 URBAN_TERRAIN_ZONE_TYPE DISCRETE_CLUST_8 Outer city; Discrete-cluster8. 15 IR [UTZB]  
STD
2005/06/07		 URBAN_TERRAIN_ZONE_TYPE DISCRETE_OPEN_1 Large <BUILDING>s (1 to 4 <FLOOR_LEVEL>s) with a distinctive lack of exterior <WINDOW>s, internally partitioned into individual <RETAIL_FACILITY>s, and surrounded by extensive <VEHICLE_LOT>s; Discrete-open1. The main <BUILDING> is normally located in the centre or at the rear of the <VEHICLE_LOT>, with <VEHICLE_LOT>s consuming approximately 70 percent of the <TERRAIN>. Typical use is for shopping malls, professional/business parks. Spacing between <BUILDING>s is 13 metres or greater. 16 IR [UTZB]  
STD
2005/06/07		 URBAN_TERRAIN_ZONE_TYPE DISCRETE_OPEN_2 Evenly spaced <BUILDING>s in planned settings supporting fairly high population densities yet providing collective open space between <BUILDING>s; Discrete-open2. Intervening ground space is landscaped or <VEHICLE_LOT>s. Typical spacing between <BUILDING>s is 13 metres with <BUILDING>s being 2 to 40 <FLOOR_LEVEL>s. 17 IR [UTZB]  
STD
2005/06/07		 URBAN_TERRAIN_ZONE_TYPE DISCRETE_OPEN_3 Single family detached <BUILDING>s occupying a minimum amount of <LAND>; Discrete-open3. <BUILDING>s are set back on all sides. This zone is similar to <<<DISCRETE_CLUST_3>>> with the difference being that Discrete-open3 signifies more space between <BUILDING>s, and often more <VEGETATION>. Spacing between <BUILDING>s is 13 metres or greater, with <BUILDING>s being 1 to 3 <FLOOR_LEVEL>s. 18 IR [UTZB]  
STD
2005/06/07		 URBAN_TERRAIN_ZONE_TYPE DISCRETE_OPEN_4 Modern industrial space with access for <TRUCK>s and parking space, typically used for industry or storage; Discrete-open4. <BUILDING>s are widely separated and have paved <SURFACE>s around them. Spacing between <BUILDING>s is 13 metres or greater, and <BUILDING>s are 1 to 4 <FLOOR_LEVEL>s. 19 IR [UTZB]  
STD
2005/06/07		 URBAN_TERRAIN_ZONE_TYPE DISCRETE_OPEN_5 Modern, large, <COMMERCIAL_BUILDING>s (1 to 5 <FLOOR_LEVEL>s) with large <VEHICLE_LOT>s and located along wide <STREET>s; Discrete-open5. Typically used for large <RETAIL_FACILITY>s, <EQUIPMENT>, automobile dealerships, and <RESTAURANT>s. Space between the <BUILDING>s is 13 metres or greater. 20 IR [UTZB]  
STD
2005/06/07		 URBAN_TERRAIN_ZONE_TYPE DISCRETE_OPEN_6 Sizeable, master planned development with large <BUILDING>s and maintained heavily vegetated <SITE>s that provide elegantly designed facilities and a sense of openness; Discrete-open6. Often used for schools, colleges, <HOSPITAL_BUILDING>s, <CHURCH>s, and administrative <FACILITY>s. Spacing between <BUILDING>s is 13 metres or greater, and <BUILDING>s are typically 1 to 7 <FLOOR_LEVEL>s. 21 IR [UTZB]  
STD
2005/06/07		 URBAN_TERRAIN_ZONE_TYPE DOES_NOT_CONFORM Configuration does not conform to any urban terrain zone. 22 IR [UTZB]  
STD
2005/06/07		 URBAN_TERRAIN_ZONE_TYPE WIDELY_SPACED_BUILDINGS Widely separated detached <BUILDING>s of an unknown type or function; widely spaced buildings. 23 IR [UTZB]

In addition to the status and date information for each entry, a colour coding scheme highlights the database holding to which an entry belongs. The following highlight colours are used:

  • white - the entry is in the standard
  • yellow - the entry has been added to the register

  • cyan - a deprecated entry that was originally either in the standard or was added to the register, but has since been deprecated

The following icons are used to identify items that have figures, modifications and/or clarification notes:

  • F n - has Figures and, if more than one figure, n figures
  • M - has Modifications
  • C - has Clarifications
