CANOPY
A roof structure constructed
of rigid materials, including but not limited to, metal, wood, concrete,
plastic, canvas or glass, which is attached to and supported by a building,
or which is freestanding and supported by columns, poles, or braces
extended to the ground. Unlike a marquee,
a canopy generally
has very limited vertical surface area; and unlike an awning,
a canopy is
generally supported by vertical elements rising from the ground at two or
more corners.
