Coweta County controls building bulk mainly through minimum lot area, not one flat coverage percentage. Rural Conservation (RC) lots run 5 acres by right, with 2-acre estate and averaging options; RD lots are 8,500 square feet and R-2 lots 10,000.
Rather than a single coverage cap, Coweta County limits development intensity through minimum lot area and density in its zoning ordinance. The Rural Conservation (RC) district sets a 5-acre base minimum with 2-acre estate-lot and conservation-subdivision averaging options that keep the rural character while clustering homes. The RD two-family district requires 8,500 square feet and the R-2 multifamily district 10,000 square feet. Impervious surfaces such as buildings, driveways, and patios are further controlled through the county's stormwater and land-development regulations rather than a stated lot-coverage percentage. Falling below the district minimum lot area or width requires a variance or rezoning through Community Development.
Subdividing below the district minimum lot area or width violates the zoning ordinance and subdivision regulations, and the county can reject the plat or permit. Stormwater and impervious-surface rules are enforced through land-disturbance permits.
