B. 
Dimensions. Any distances or dimensions listed in this code or shown on the Zoning Map are in feet (unless otherwise expressly so indicated) and are measured horizontally and, when measured from a street, are measured from the street right-of-way line even if the center line of the street is the location of the zoning district line.

B. 
Subdivision and resubdivision of lots. When a new lot or lots are formed from a parcel of land, or where two or more lots are combined into a single lot, the separation or combination must be effected in such a manner as not to impair any of the provisions of this code.
