§ 15-311. DETERMINING LOT COVERAGE.

Lot coverage is the ratio of the total footprint area of all structures on a lot to the net lot area, typically expressed as a percentage. The footprints of all principal and accessory structures, including garages, and carports shall be included in the lot coverage calculation, unless otherwise noted. The following structures shall be excluded from the calculation:

A.

Uncovered decks, patios, porches, landings, balconies, and unenclosed stairways;

B.

Eaves and roof overhangs;

C.

Trellises and similar structures;

D.

Outdoor swimming pools and hot tubs; and

E.

Up to one non-habitable accessory structure of less than 120 square feet in floor area and seven feet in height. Should there be multiple structures that do not exceed 120 square feet in floor area, only one such structure will be omitted for calculating the Lot Coverage.
