Lot coverage caps are set by city zoning, not Anoka County. In Coon Rapids no more than 30% of a residential lot may be covered by buildings, drives and parking.
Impervious/building lot-coverage limits are a city zoning matter in Anoka County under Minn. Stat. §462.357. Coon Rapids caps coverage at no more than 30% of a lot by buildings, drives and parking. The city also limits total accessory space: each dwelling may have up to 1,600 square feet of attached/detached garage and storage (2,000 square feet for lots one acre or more), attached garage space cannot exceed 80% of the home's finished floor area, and no more than three detached accessory structures are allowed per dwelling. Coverage percentages and accessory caps vary by city, so confirm limits with your local planning office.
Exceeding the coverage cap or accessory-structure limits will cause a permit to be denied and may require removing structures or paved area to come back into compliance.
