What the Cape Coral zoning ordinance says about lot size and width, district by district. Section numbers link to the official ordinance.
Minimum lot area 10,000 square feet. Minimum width at the setback line is 80 feet for single-family/duplex, 40 feet for single-family semi-detached, and 120 feet for single-family attached/multi-family (3+ units) (Table 4.1.3.B, footnote 1). Maximum impervious surface coverage 60 percent; the calculation method is set out in LDC Article 1, Sec. 1.15.M.
Minimum lot area 10,000 square feet. Maximum impervious surface coverage 60 percent. Minimum width at setback line follows the same footnote as R-1: 80 feet single-family/duplex, 40 feet semi-detached, 120 feet attached/multi-family (Table 4.1.3.B, footnote 1).
Minimum lot area 43,560 square feet (1 acre). No maximum impervious surface cap listed in Table 4.1.3.B (shown as 'None').
Minimum lot area 40,000 square feet. No maximum impervious surface cap listed (shown as 'None').
No minimum lot area listed for residential use (shown as 'None'); non-residential uses in the A district require a minimum of 4 acres per Table 4.1.3.B footnote 4 (Sec. 4.2.5.C separately states 5 acres for non-residential uses; confirm which figure controls before acting, this is a genuine inconsistency between the table footnote and the district text). No maximum impervious surface cap is listed.
No minimum lot area listed (shown as 'None'). Maximum floor area ratio (FAR) 1.

No minimum lot area listed for the district generally (shown as 'None'), except single-family attached and multi-family dwellings need a minimum of 4 acres (Table 4.1.3.B). Maximum floor area ratio (FAR) 1.25. Residential density is separately capped at a minimum of 10 or 50 units and a maximum of 25 units/acre (Table 4.1.3.A).
No minimum lot area is set; instead, Table 4.2.12 varies allowable use-area mix and density by total development project size. For developments of 1 acre or less: free-standing commercial may be 0-100% of the site (FAR 1.0); free-standing residential is not allowed (N/A); mixed-use may be 0-100% of the site (density 3-12 d.u./acre, FAR 1.0). For developments 1 to 19.99 acres: free-standing commercial 15%-100% of site; free-standing residential 15%-85% of site (12 d.u./acre or 50 units minimum, 16 d.u./acre maximum); mixed-use 0-100% of site (12 d.u./acre or 50 units minimum, 16 d.u./acre maximum, FAR 2.0). For developments 20 acres or greater: free-standing commercial 20%-75% of site; free-standing residential 25%-80% of site (12 d.u./acre or 75 units minimum, 16 d.u./acre maximum); mixed-use 0-100% of site (12 d.u./acre or 75 units minimum, 16 d.u./acre maximum, FAR 2.0). Table 4.1.3.A separately states a citywide NC density ceiling of 12 or 50 units minimum (75 units above 20 acres) to 16 d.u./acre maximum, consistent with these figures.
No minimum lot area listed (shown as 'None'). Maximum floor area ratio (FAR) 1. Residential density is separately capped at a maximum of 995 units total (a fixed unit cap, not a per-acre density, per Table 4.1.3.A).
No minimum lot area listed generally (shown as 'None'), except single-family attached and multi-family dwellings need a minimum of 4 acres (Table 4.1.3.B). Maximum floor area ratio (FAR) 4. Residential density is separately capped at a maximum of 125 units/acre (Table 4.1.3.A).
No minimum lot area listed (shown as 'None'). Maximum floor area ratio (FAR) 4. Table 4.2.15 separately caps density at 125 d.u./acre (matching the citywide Table 4.1.3.A figure).
