In unincorporated St. Lucie County, maximum lot coverage is set by zoning district in LDC Table 7-10 (LDC 7.04.01.A). Accessory structures in a residential district may not occupy more than 35% of the maximum permitted building area of the entire lot.
St. Lucie County LDC 7.04.01.A bars any structure from exceeding the maximum lot coverage shown in Table 7-10 for its zoning district. Separately, LDC 8.00.02.B limits accessory structures and uses in residential districts to no more than 35% of the maximum permitted building area of the entire lot, and 8.00.02.A keeps accessory structures (other than fences, walls and hedges) out of any required front yard. Open-space standards for planned developments are governed by LDC 7.04.02. Confirm your district's coverage cap in Table 7-10.
Exceeding coverage limits requires a variance; without one, permits are denied and over-built structures must be reduced or removed.
