Vegetation that is healthy, structurally sound, and <br />environmentally appropriate for the site. Vegetation that lacks any of these factors is <br />not significant. <br />Significant Tree. A living, standing tree having a trunk with a minimum cumulative <br />diameter breast height of 8 inches, or, when there are multiple trunks, having a <br />minimum cumulative diameter breast height of 8 inches, considering the 2 largest <br />trunks measured at 4.5 feet above mean ground level at the base of the trunk or <br />trunks. <br />Single Room Occupancy. A building containing at least 9 residential rooms for <br />occupancy by individuals. Each room is without a kitchen, but may have provision <br />for counter -top appliances and refrigerator. The toilet/bath may be private or shared <br />with another single room occupancy (SRO) room(s). Four SRO rooms shall <br />constitute 1 SRO dwelling. For purposes of determining residential density, 4 SRO <br />rooms equal 1 dwelling. Fractional dwellings shall be rounded to the next highest <br />integer, e.g. 5 SRO rooms equal 2 dwellings. <br />Site Improvements. Includes, but is not limited to, landscaping, parking lot <br />improvements, bicycle parking improvements, fences, sheds, paving, and any other <br />development, except building alteration. <br />Solar Access.

Examples of a solar <br />feature include a window oriented to within 45 degrees east -west of true south, a solar <br />greenhouse, or a solar hot water heater. A solar feature may be used for purposes in <br />addition to collecting solar energy, including but not limited to serving as a structural <br />member or part of a roof, wall or window. A south -- facing wall enclosing an unheated <br />area, and without windows and without other features that use solar energy is not a <br />solar feature for the purposes of this land use code (for example, an unheated garage). <br />Solar Setback.
