Sec. 6.01.02. Impervious surface coverage.
A.
Impervious surface coverage calculation - Impervious surface coverage is determined by calculating the total
impervious surface area as a percentage of the gross site area. Water bodies are impervious and shall be included
as such in the calculation of impervious surface coverage.
B.
[endif]-->Treatment of cluster development - Because impervious surface coverage is calculated for the
gross site, cluster development or other site design alternatives may result in individual lots within a development
project exceeding the amount of impervious surface coverage, while other lots may be devoted entirely to open
space. The city development director or city commission may require, as a condition of approval, deed restrictions
or covenants that guarantee the maintenance of such open space in perpetuity.
C.
Alternative paving materials - If pervious concrete is proposed for a project, then 50 percent of the area
covered with pervious concrete shall be considered as a pervious surface provided it is installed and maintained in
accordance with section 6.03.07 of this Code. Other porous paving materials may be utilized with a credit for
pervious coverage as determined by the city development director and as per section 6.03.07 of this Code.
