§ 20.33.255. Landscape materials and turf replacement.
Latest version.
A. Maximum Percent Hardscape Area. With the exception of the established driveway allowance, the maximum area of hardscape material (permeable or non-permeable) within the front setback shall be limited to twenty-five percent of the setback area (includes walkways, patios and courtyards, but excludes driveways).
1. Area of front setback - area of required driveway = remaining front setback area.
2. Remaining front setback area x twenty-five percent = total allowed hardscape area.
B. Driveway Allowance. Driveways serving required garages, or providing on-site parking (for properties without garages) are excluded from the maximum allowed twenty-five percent of hardscape material in front yard setbacks.
Driveway Allowance is based on required garage capacity and size.
