Greenwood, IN Building Setbacks & Zoning: Lot Coverage Limits (2026)

In the RL zone, Sec. 10-02-13 pairs the forty percent impervious cap with a 12,000-square-foot minimum lot, a thirty-foot front setback, ten-foot side setbacks, a twenty-five-foot rear setback, and a thirty-five-foot building height limit; accessory buildings must sit in the rear yard at least ten feet off any lot line, or in a side yard only if fifteen feet separates the front setback line from the accessory structure. The RM zone (Sec. 10-02-14) allows the fifty percent cap on smaller 7,700-square-foot lots with a twenty-foot front setback and the same twenty-five-foot rear setback, while accessory buildings there need only an eight-foot rear-yard clearance.

The Old Town Residential district (Sec. 10-02-26) permits the highest coverage, seventy percent, on lots as small as 2,000 square feet and as large as 7,500 square feet, reflecting its walkable, small-lot historic character, alongside a separate sixty percent "Lot Coverage" figure that measures a different footprint than impervious coverage. Every zone's Development Standards table cross-references Division III's generally applicable standards for signage (Sec. 10-03-08), landscaping (Sec. 10-03-06), parking (Sec. 10-03-02), and building design (Sec. 10-03-14), all of which layer on top of the coverage limit and can further restrict how much of a lot a property owner may pave or build over.
