As you are building without lot area and/or lot width variances as provided for in the City Code Section 78-72 (pasted below) you are limited to 25% hardcover rather than the Tier 2, 30% limitation and with the exception of lot area and/or lot width ALL other zoning code requirements must be met. The allowed hardcover for this property is 25%. This is consistent with state statute and the same provision as was applied to many of your other recent projects... Currently your plan reflects 26.6% hardcover. You must revise the plan to meet the 25% hardcover limitation. In your revisions, please assure the hardcover minimum standards (attached) are not compromised.
