The lot shall meet the lot coverage requirements for R-1, except that all roofed areas shall be included as part of the calculation of lot coverage. Findings: Maximum lot coverage standards are related to both siting and design. In terms of “relating to siting,” the standard relates to the “space of ground occupied by or to be occupied by a building.” In terms of “relating to design,” the standard influences the construction plans for the dwelling such that the building is designed to strike the required balance between buildings and open lot area.
