San Angelo controls building intensity through a Maximum Floor Area Ratio, not a percent lot-coverage cap. RS-1 lots allow FAR 0.40, RS-2 0.50, and RS-3 0.60 under Zoning Ordinance Sec. 501.A.
Rather than a percent impervious-coverage limit, San Angelo Code of Ordinances ch. 12, Exhibit A, Sec. 501.A sets a Maximum Floor Area Ratio — building floor area divided by lot area — for each residential district: 0.20 in R&E, 0.40 in RS-1, 0.50 in RS-2, 0.60 in RS-3, 0.75 in RM-1, and 1.00 in RM-2. A 5,000 sq ft RS-1 lot therefore allows up to 2,000 sq ft of floor area. Minimum lot area is 5,000 sq ft in both RS-1 and RS-2.
Building beyond the district Floor Area Ratio is denied at permitting or requires a variance. Continuing violations draw fines up to $500 per day, each day a separate offense.
