Lot coverage is the ratio of the total footprint area of all impervious surfaces on a lot to the net lot area, typically expressed as a percentage. The footprints of all principal and accessory structures, including garages, carports, covered patios, and roofed porches, combined with all impervious driveways, walkway and other surfaces shall be summed in order to calculate lot coverage. The following shall be excluded from the calculation:
(A) Eaves and roof overhangs projecting up to two feet from a wall;
(B) Trellises and similar structures that have roofs that are at least 50 percent open to the sky with uniformly distributed openings;
(C) Swimming pools and hot tubs that are not enclosed in roofed structures or decks; and
(D) Driveway, walkways, patios, decks and other flat surfaces built with pervious materials.
