A GARAGE is defined as any covered and enclosed space, or any portion thereof, where more than five motor vehicles are exhibited for sale, stored, parked, housed or located.
A PARKING LOT refers to any outdoor space or uncovered plot of ground, place, lot, parcel, yard or enclosure, or any portion thereof, where more than five motor vehicles are exhibited for sale, stored, parked, housed or located.
