Overland Park sets maximum lot coverage only in multi-family districts: 50% in R-3/RP-3, 60% in RP-4 and RP-5, and 70% in RP-6. Single-family districts carry no coverage percentage at all.
Under UDO 18.110.380, lot coverage counts the ground floor of structures plus parking lots and private streets and drives against net site area; pools, tennis courts, sidewalks and plazas are excluded. The caps appear in each multi-family district's development standards: 18.210.050(B) sets 50% for garden apartments, 18.220.050(E) and 18.230.050(C) set 60% for cluster housing and apartment houses, and 18.240.050(C) sets 70% for high-rise apartments. In RE, R-1, R-1A and R-2, bulk is instead controlled through minimum yards, minimum lot width and depth, and minimum lot area per dwelling. Accessory buildings carry their own limit: in R-1, detached accessory buildings cover no more than 30% of the rear yard setback area, with a maximum of two per residence.
Zoning violations are misdemeanors under 18.100.110, punishable by a fine up to $500 or six months' imprisonment. Each day of violation is a separate offense.
