When used in this chapter:
(1) “”Address”” means the numeric or alphanumeric designation assigned to a house, building or plot of land by the U.S. Postal Service or, if none, by the local government, that, together with the street name, describes the physical location of a specific property. This includes “”rural route”” numbers but excludes post office box numbers. If a lot number in a mobile home park or similar community is used by the U.S. Postal Service to determine a delivery location, the lot number shall be the property’s address. If a lot number in a mobile home park or similar residential community is not used by the U.S. Postal Service (e.g., the park manager sorts incoming mail delivered to the community’s address), then the community’s main address shall be the property’s address, unless otherwise designated by the local government.
(2) “”Agriculture”” shall mean as that term is defined in Florida Statutes § 570.02(1) Plant nurseries and Turfgrass production (“”sod farming””) are agriculture. The care of new or Existing Lawns, non-edible Landscapes, Cemeteries, Golf Courses and Athletic Play Areas are not classified as Agriculture for the purpose of this chapter.
(3) “”Athletic Play Area”” means all golf course fairways, tees, and greens, and other athletic play surfaces including, but not limited to, football, baseball, soccer, polo, tennis and lawn bowling fields, and rodeo, equestrian and livestock arenas. A turfgrass area in a public park, when used for a festival or other scheduled event that includes heavy foot traffic, is also considered an athletic play area for a period ending two weeks after the event.
(4) “”Cemetery”” means a place dedicated to and used or intended to be used for the permanent interment of human or pet remains. A Cemetery may contain land or earth interment; mausoleum, vault, or crypt interment; a columbarium, ossuary, scattering garden, or other structure or place used or intended to be used for the interment or disposition of cremated human or pet remains; or any combination of one or more of such structures or places.
(5) “”Core Aerification”” means the process of mechanically removing cores or plugs of soil to relieve soil compaction and allowing oxygen, water and nutrients to enter the ground.
(6) “”Domestic Use”” shall mean as that term is defined in Florida Statutes § 373.019(6) All other uses shall not be considered Domestic.
(7) “”Driving Range”” is the turfgrass at a practice or instructional facility that provides a simulated golf fairway, simulated golf tee and simulated golf green. The simulated golf green associated with a simulated golf fairway is primarily a visual target instead of a regulated play surface, and so does not receive the foot traffic and related turfgrass damage normally associated with an actual golf green.
(8) “”Even Numbered Address”” means an Address, ending in the numbers 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 or the letters A-M.
(9) “”Existing”” means any Lawn or Landscape, or portion thereof, which has been in existence in the same location for a period of 60 days or more.
(10) “”Frost/Freeze”” or “”Heat Stress”” means the symptoms caused to plants or crops by extreme cold or hot weather unless an irrigation event occurs; for example, permanent wilt damage, yield reductions and/or plant death.
(11) “”Golf Course”” means an area of land laid out for the express purpose of playing golf, including all greens, tees, fairways, and roughs.
(12) “”Hand Watering”” means watering plants or crops with one hand held hose, fitted with a self-canceling or automatic shutoff nozzle, or a watering can or pail.
(13) “”Irrigation”” means the application of water to plants for the purpose of sustaining plant life, promoting plant growth or to facilitate crop production.
(14) “”Landscape”” means a section of ground adorned or improved by flowering plants (whether annual or perennial), vines, shrubs, palms, trees, ferns, ornamental grasses and groundcover other than Lawn.
(15) “”Landscape Use”” means the application of water to Lawns and associated Landscape surrounding homes, commercial or industrial buildings, government or other non-commercial buildings, parks, recreational areas, Cemeteries, non-play areas of Golf Courses, public and private right-of-ways and medians but excluding Athletic Play Areas.
