Mullions
A mullion is a vertical or horizontal structural element that divides and
supports the individual panes or sections of a window. It typically runs
between two adjacent window units, providing both structural support and
visual division. In addition to their functional role, mullions often contribute
to the aesthetic character of a building by creating a grid-like pattern within
the window.
Muntins
A muntin is a narrow bar or strip of material that separates and holds
individual panes of glass within a window frame. Unlike a mullion, which is a
larger structural divider between window units, muntins are typically smaller
and divide a single window sash into multiple smaller sections, creating a
grid pattern.
Natural Assets
The stock of natural resources or ecosystems that is relied upon, managed,
or could be managed by a municipality, regional district, or other form of
local government for the sustainable provision of one or more municipal
services.
Natural Boundary
Has the same meaning as in the Land Act, which, at the time of adoption of
this Bylaw was: the visible high water mark of any lake, river, stream or other
body of water where the presence and action of the water are so common
and usual, and so long continued in all ordinary years, as to mark on the soil
of the bed of the body of water a character distinct from that of its banks, in
vegetation, as well as in the nature of the soil itself.
Natural State
The condition, status, or mode of existence that occurs normally or innately
without human intervention or Land Alteration. It can refer to something in
its pure and raw form, like the natural state of a material or natural state of
the environment, essentially untouched by civilization.
Pedestrian Through Zone
The pedestrian through zone is the clear, unobstructed area of a sidewalk
or pedestrian path that provides a safe and comfortable route for walking.
It is typically located in the center of the sidewalk, allowing pedestrians to
move freely without encountering obstacles like street furniture, signage,
or street trees. In a complete street design, the pedestrian through zone
ensures ef昀椀cient pedestrian movement while maintaining accessibility for
all users, including those with mobility challenges. This zone is essential
for promoting walkability and ensuring that sidewalks serve their primary
function of providing safe passage for people on foot.
