“Lot coverage” means that portion of a lot occupied by the principal building and its accessory buildings, expressed as a percentage of the total lot area. For the purpose of this definition, the area of the building considered for lot coverage is that area above ground fully enclosed by walls and/or beneath a roof, excluding:

A. Covered or uncovered outside walkways and balconies, providing that in the case of balconies which project more than five feet, the entire area of such balcony is included when computing lot coverage;

B. Open courtyards, eaves and canopies that are attached to the principal building and do not project more than 10 feet (the total area of eaves or canopies projecting more than 10 feet is included when computing lot coverage); and

C. Bay windows, providing the floor area is not increased. This definition applies to this title only and does not affect the definition of lot coverage as defined by the building and fire codes. (Ord. 2020 § 2, 1994; Ord. 1062 § 1, 1979; Ord. 190 Art. IV § 412, 1964)
