(ii) is readily transportable without disassembly or without removal from associated components including a footing, pier, stump, rigid annexe or an attached building or similar; or
(c) something exempted under the regulations.
(3) To remove any doubt, something is not excluded from the definition of building only because it is temporary or novel.
