For the purpose of this title and Chapter 2.220 TMC, certain terms and words are hereby defined. Unless the context indicates to the contrary, words used in the present tense include the future tense, words used in the singular include the plural, words used in the plural include the singular, words importing the masculine gender include the feminine and neuter, and the word “shall” is mandatory. Any terms not herein defined shall be construed as defined elsewhere in this division or in an applicable building code or upon the interpretation of the City Attorney, who may determine the context indicates that a standard dictionary definition is more appropriate. Where a word or term is defined in both this chapter and elsewhere in this division, the definition in this chapter shall be generally applicable except in the chapter or section of this division where the word is elsewhere defined. (Ord. 19736 § 4, 5-22-12.)
