For the purposes of this Ordinance, certain rules of construction shall apply to the text as follows:

• Words used in the present tense include the future tense; and the singular includes the plural, unless the context clearly indicates the contrary.
• The word "person" includes an individual, corporation, partnership, firm, association, limited liability company, or other legal entity.
• The word "lot" includes "plot," "tract," or "parcel."
• The term "shall" is always mandatory and not discretionary; the work "may" is permissive.

• Any word or term not interpreted or defined by the Article shall be used with a meaning of common or standard utilization.
