In unincorporated Weld County, maximum lot coverage ranges from 50% in low-density residential districts to 70% in the high-density R-4 district. Greeley instead requires a minimum 30% lot open space on standard detached-house lots.
Weld County Code Sec. 23-3-160 (Table 23.2) sets maximum lot coverage for Residential zone districts: 50% in R-1 and R-2, 60% in R-3 and R-5, and 70% in R-4. Lot coverage limits how much of a lot may be covered by buildings and structures. The Agricultural district (Sec. 23-3-70) sets no percentage cap but requires a minimum 35-acre lot. Greeley's Development Code (Table 24-5-1) approaches this from the opposite direction, requiring minimum lot open space — 30% for standard and estate detached houses and 25% for medium lots — rather than a maximum coverage figure.
Building beyond the allowed coverage results in permit denial or a zoning violation. Relief requires a variance from the Weld County Board of Adjustment.
