League City's Unified Development Code (Chapter 125) establishes lot coverage limits by zoning district. Impervious surface calculations include buildings, driveways, and paved areas. Pool water surface does not count toward impervious surface. Specific lot coverage ratios vary by district classification.
The UDC (Chapter 125 Article IV — Site Development Standards) sets lot coverage and impervious surface limits for each zoning district. Pool water surfaces are excluded from impervious surface calculations. Pool equipment may encroach up to 42 inches into setback areas. Building coverage includes all roofed structures. Specific percentages vary by district — consult the UDC or contact the Planning Department.
Exceeding lot coverage limits requires variance approval from the Board of Adjustment. Unpermitted construction: violation of Chapter 22.
