77-24 - Lot Coverage

LAST AMENDED
12/5/2024

The maximum percent of #lot coverage# permitted on each portion of a #zoning lot# shall be determined under the applicable
regulations of Article II, Chapters 3 and 4.

Each such maximum percent of #lot coverage# shall be multiplied by the #lot area# of the portion of the #zoning lot# to which
such percent of #lot coverage# applies. The sum of the areas of #lot coverage# thus obtained shall be the maximum area of #lot
coverage# for the #zoning lot#. Such maximum area of #lot coverage#, divided by the #lot area# of the #zoning lot#, shall be the
adjusted maximum percent of #lot coverage# for the #zoning lot#.

A #building# whose #lot coverage# does not exceed the adjusted maximum percentage of #lot coverage# may be located
anywhere on such #zoning lot# or portion of such #zoning lot#, subject to all other regulations of this Resolution, and provided
that the percentage of #lot coverage# for any portion of the #zoning lot# within one district shall not exceed the maximum
percentage of #lot coverage# specified for that district, or the adjusted maximum percentage of #lot coverage# for the #zoning
lot#, whichever is greater.

If a #zoning lot# divided by a boundary between two or more districts is partly a #corner lot# and partly an #interior lot# or
#through lot#, separate adjusted maximum percentages of #lot coverage# shall be computed for such #corner lot# and for such
#interior lot# or #through lot# and applied separately to such #corner lot# and to such #interior lot# or #through lot#, as though
each were a separate #zoning lot#. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to #zoning lots# located on #waterfront
blocks#.

If a #zoning lot# is partly in a district in which there is no maximum permitted percentage of #lot coverage# for the #use#, the
provisions of this Section shall apply to such portions of the #zoning lot# as are in a district with a maximum #lot coverage#
requirement.

Wherever a #zoning lot# is divided by a district boundary in which one portion of the #zoning lot# is located in a district having
a #lot coverage# requirement and the other portion is located in a district having an #open space ratio# requirement, the
required #open space# for the portion having the #open space ratio# requirement shall be computed in accordance with Section
77-23 (Open Space Ratio). The inverse of such required #open space# shall be the maximum #lot coverage# permitted on that
portion of the #zoning lot#, and may be located anywhere on the #zoning lot# subject to all other regulations of this Resolution.
