§ 2 Code Definitions And Scope

• •Word meanings in this chapter are the default for the whole code.
• •If a specific rule gives its own meaning, that one wins.
• •All later rules follow these definitions unless they say they don't.

A city creates a new rule about "public park" and wants to know what that means.

Because the rule doesn't give its own definition, you look at the definition of "public park" in this chapter to decide what counts as a public park.
