Duluth UDC limits lot coverage (buildings and impervious surfaces) by zoning district. R-100 typically allows 35-40% maximum lot coverage including principal and accessory structures.
Lot coverage in Duluth is measured as the percentage of the lot area covered by structures, driveways, patios, and other impervious surfaces. R-100 (10,000 sq ft minimum lot) typically caps building coverage around 35%. Higher-density RM districts allow greater coverage. Impervious surface limits also relate to stormwater management under Gwinnett County/GAEPD rules. Exceeding coverage requires variance approval.
Plan review denial; if built without approval, structures may need to be removed to come into compliance.
