Englewood caps impervious surface coverage at 67 percent of lot area for townhouse and other multiple-family residential uses.
Under Article XI District Regulations, the maximum impervious surface coverage for both townhouse and other multiple-family uses is 67 percent of the lot area. This limit governs combined building footprint, paving, walkways, and other impervious improvements. Site plan applicants must demonstrate compliance through coverage calculations submitted with their plans, and projects exceeding the cap require variance relief from the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Stormwater management requirements under Chapter 370 also apply where coverage thresholds trigger drainage review.
Exceeding coverage caps without variance relief can prevent permit issuance and result in enforcement actions.
