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]

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]

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
  • pink - the entry has been submitted for inclusion in the register, but it is not approved
  • 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
