Jupiter R-1 maximum building coverage 35%, total impervious surface 50%. Waterfront lots often 40% impervious max to protect Loxahatchee River watershed. Pervious pavers and green infrastructure encouraged and partially credited.
Zoning Code Section 27-1606 sets coverage limits. R-1: 35% building / 50% impervious. R-2: 40%/55%. Commercial: 40%/75%. Loxahatchee River Overlay District reduces impervious to 40% within 500 feet of river. Pervious concrete, permeable pavers, and open-grid systems count 50% toward impervious calculation. Green roofs count as pervious. Calculations exclude pool water surface but include decks and pool equipment pads.
Coverage exceedance: stop work, removal, or variance. Fine $500-$1,000.
