Summary
Unincorporated Clark County limits how much of a lot a building's roof can cover, from 15% in RS80 estate lots to 80% in heavy industrial districts, under Title 30's zoning district standards.
Lot Coverage: The percentage of lot area covered by the roof of any enclosed or unenclosed building, including eaves and overhangs.
Full Breakdown
Title 30 caps lot coverage, the share of a lot covered by a building's roof, including eaves and overhangs, by zoning district under Table 30.02-2 and Table 30.02-3. Residential estate lots (RS80) top out at 15%, RS40 at 25%, RS20/RS10 at 50%, and RM multifamily districts at 20%. Nonresidential caps run higher: 60% in CN/CP/CG, 75% in CC, 80% in IP/IL/IH, but only 10% in AG and 5% in OS. Comprehensive Planning applies the limit during site plan and building permit review for any parcel in unincorporated Clark County, including the Strip resort corridor in Paradise and Winchester.
Violations & Fines
A site plan or building permit exceeding the district's lot coverage max gets rejected outright; built structures that violate it draw a Comprehensive Planning code enforcement notice and correction order until brought into compliance.
