Maximum building coverage in Sandy residential zones typically ranges from 35-45% of lot area, with additional limits on impervious surface in foothill zones.
Sandy zoning limits total building footprint to 35% in R-1-10 zones and up to 45% in smaller-lot zones. Foothill and hillside overlay zones impose additional impervious surface caps (typically 50-60%) to protect watershed infiltration for Little Cottonwood Creek and reduce erosion on steep slopes. Accessory structures count toward lot coverage. Pools, patios, and paved areas are regulated separately as impervious surface.
