San Leandro RS zones typically cap building lot coverage at 40%. Impervious surface limits apply under Bay Area C.3 stormwater standards.
Maximum lot coverage by buildings in San Leandro single-family (RS) zones is generally 40% of net lot area. Higher-density RM zones allow 50-60%. Coverage is calculated based on roof footprint; detached ADUs up to 800 sq ft are exempt from strict coverage caps per Gov Code §65852.2. Total impervious surface (including driveways and patios) is regulated by Bay Area Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit C.3 provisions for projects creating/replacing 2,500 sq ft of impervious area or more. FAR (floor area ratio) provisions may apply in some districts.
