§ 154.007 DEFINITIONS. <br /> (1) LOT COVERAGE. The area of a lot covered by impervious surface. An IMPERVIOUS <br />SURFACE is any material that substantially reduces or prevents the infiltration of storm water <br />into the ground. IMPERVIOUS SURFACES shall include all buildings, driveways (paved or gravel), <br />sidewalks and parking areas. A surface that has been compacted or covered with a layer of <br />material so that it is highly resistant to infiltration by water will be considered impervious. An <br />IMPERVIOUS SURFACE shall not include decks as long as the deck is pervious and the surface <br />beneath the deck is pervious. For the purposes of calculating impervious surface ratios in <br />compliance with the requirements of this Chapter, the ratio shall be based only on those <br />impervious surfaces located within the legal boundaries of the private property in question, and <br />shall utilize as a denominator only the area of the subject property. No portion of the public <br />right of way (including the “boulevard” or other such areas) shall be counted for either <br />numerator or denominator in this regard.
