RESIDENTIAL BUILDING COVERAGE, FLOOR AREA, and LOT COVERAGE

Building Coverage: The total area of all building footprints on the lot. Include all areas that have a roof.

Floor Area: Includes all floors of all buildings and garages (no matter where they are located). Basements are not included.

Lot Coverage: Includes all improvements on a lot, not just impervious coverage. Essentially, this includes everything except lawn, woods, and shrubbery.

You may use this table to calculate your own maximums based upon your lot size, but you should still consult with the Zoning Officer to make certain there are not circumstances peculiar to your property. You should do this before you engage a design professional. All figures are in square feet.
