Woodside Municipal Code § 153.210 Building Coverage

(1) Table K sets forth the building coverage limit which only applies to the Community Commercial Zoning District. Such basic regulations are further defined and supplemented by the additional requirements and exceptions set forth in this section.

TABLE K: Building Coverage Limit

(1) The percentage of the site area covered by structures shall be measured by dividing the total number of square feet of horizontal grounds area covered by structures, open or enclosed, by the total horizontal area of the site. The area of uncovered and unenclosed off-road parking spaces, walks, patios, in-ground swimming pools or pools which do not project more than three feet above the ground, uncovered decks or garage aprons three feet or less above the ground, and eaves projecting three feet or less shall not be counted, and only one-half of the area of uncovered and unenclosed decks 15 feet or less above the ground shall be counted. Any portion of a lot that has been acquired by the Town for use in a Parking Assessment District shall be added back to the total square footage of that lot for purposes of computing allowable building coverage on the lot.

(2) The area of all accessory buildings shall be considered in calculating building coverage.

(1) The Planning Commission may however, allow greater lot coverage, without limitation, for such lots in the Town Center Parking Assessment District, upon approval of a conditional use permit after finding that the proposed development would be consistent with the policies regarding use, intensity, design, and circulation in the Woodside General Plan, with the Town Center Site Plan, dated March 8, 1989, and with the October 5, 1989 engineer's report for the Woodside Road - Whiskey Hill Road Parking Assessment District (the engineer's report). The Commission shall condition the use permit requiring participation in the District to the full extent outlined in the engineer's report prior to the use permit becoming effective.
