Planning board says 'impervious surface coverage' renamed to 'lot coverage' in technical cleanup
Summary
Board members clarified that Ordinance 24-13 replaces the phrase 'impervious surface coverage' with 'lot coverage' to align terminology across the land development regulations; the change was described as non-substantive and intended as a consistency cleanup.
During discussion of Ordinance 24-13, a member asked whether the change to 'impervious coverage' altered the technical definition. Staff and the chair replied the revision renames 'impervious surface coverage' to 'lot coverage' to match terms used elsewhere in the ordinance and that the change does not alter substantive technical standards.
One board member summarized the intent as a cleanup: “It’s just making it consistent,” and staff said the terminology is synonymous with the prior phrasing. The board treated the change as part of a first phase of clarifying edits, reserving more substantive amendments for future meetings when staff brings additional proposals.
