Lynn Haven's ULDC Sec. 5.01.02(B) requires accessory structures to be included in all calculations of impervious surface and stormwater runoff. Lot coverage caps vary by FLU category in Sec. 4.02.02.
Impervious surface and lot coverage drive Lynn Haven's stormwater fee calculations and ULDC compliance. Sec. 5.01.02(B) requires every accessory structure to count toward both. Sheds, detached garages, carports, paved driveways, pool decks, and patios are all impervious. New construction or substantial improvements must meet on-site retention requirements for any net increase in impervious surface, with the Stormwater, Concrete, Driveway permit ensuring compliance. The 2025 commission proposed a tiered non-ad-valorem stormwater assessment based on parcel impervious area.
Exceeding lot-coverage caps triggers Building Official stop-work and Sec. 1-7 fines up to $500/day. Stormwater runoff to neighbors triggers civil liability.
