I've been out of the loop for a while, can someone summarise the 40 meters from PRP rules for me?

While I used to quite active in the old Ingress portals community, I haven't really been paying attention since the Andrew Krug AMAs stopped.
Now I'm seeing lots of stuff about no playgrounds within 40m of PRP, sometimes even people claiming there should be no portals at all within that limit. Finding any definitive answers is proving challenging.
Specifically, does PRP mean single family residence in this case? Should I be reading 'pay special attention' to portals within 40m as automatic 1-star as some people seem to be claiming. These rules are the result of a lawsuit in the US. Can they be ignored outside the US?
Any and all info appreciated.
P. S. Is a min. of 20m between portals a thing?

Yes, PRP is only single family residences and private farms. Apartments, condos, etc. are not PRP.
Submissions that are within 40 m of PRP should be scrutinized carefully, but are definitely not automatic 1*s or inherently ineligible. This applies globally and not just in the US.
Yes, portals must be at least 20 m apart. There are, of course, no cell limitations for portals.

And to be more clear, the January update to the guidelines do specifically mention that playgrounds, mounted or free-standing murals, paintings, fountains, sculptures, etc. that are within 40 m of PRP are ineligible:
Also, athletic fields that are within 40 m of PRP are ineligible:

Cool, thanks.
It would be useful, in this case, if the review process had a 40m halo around the suggested waystop so an accurate decision could be made
To Expand on this, a lot of reviewers tend to disregard the intelligible bit for playgrounds, statues, fountains, just putting them under the scrutiny, while murals and paintings so long as not on the fence/wall of prp are scrutiny as well
I got an additional question PRP they mean one home right?
The best of my knowledge, yes, PRP means single family residence or farm.
