(A) (1) (a) The MAXIMUM ROOF COVERAGE is defined as the total area under roof, of all primary and accessory structures and buildings on the lot. This is measured from the outside edge of the gutter, if any, vertically to the ground.
(b) The maximum roof coverage assures the total size of buildings and structures is proportional to the size of the lot.
(2) The maximum roof coverage permitted is as follows:
The below table can also be used by simply rounding up or down to the nearest lot acreage. For lots larger than five and one-half acres or for exact MRC allowances for lots falling between points in the below table, the below equation shall be used as the definitive allowance.
Lot Size (Acres) | Max. Roof Coverage (Ft.2) | Lot Size (Acres) | Max. Roof Coverage (Ft.2) | Lot Size (Acres) | Max. Roof Coverage (Ft.2) |
Lot Size (Acres) | Max. Roof Coverage (Ft.2) | Lot Size (Acres) | Max. Roof Coverage (Ft.2) | Lot Size (Acres) | Max. Roof Coverage (Ft.2) |

(B) (1) Lots exceeding six acres in size. Multiply the lot size by 43,560; multiply this number by 3.25% (0.0325); provided, that the result is less than 9,647, structures on the lot may have maximum roof coverage of 9,647 square feet.
(2) If the result is greater than 9,647, structures on the lot may have maximum roof coverage equal to the result produced by the multiplication.
(C) All structures exceeding the maximum roof coverage for the lot on which they are located shall require approval of a variance by the Board of Adjustment in accordance with the procedures and standards set forth in § 153.110(D).
