In October, City Council approved rules that limited new construction of a single-story home less than 18 feet to 50% of coverage. New construction of a single-story home more than 18 feet was limited to 45%. A new two-story home was limited to 45%. An addition to a single-story home less than 18 feet could cover up to 55% and an addition to a two-story home could also cover up to 55%. However, the October rules did not specify parcel coverage rules for an existing single-story home over 18 feet with an addition. The revised rules approved this week preserve the caps on new construction at 50 and 45% and stipulate that all homes with additions, regardless of height, are limited to 55%.
