Lot coverage in Hutto, TX

What the Hutto zoning ordinance says about lot coverage, district by district. Section numbers link to the official ordinance.

SF-R — Residential: Single Household Rural Estate

The UDC does not set a general maximum building coverage for SF-R in the 10.403 bulk chart. Parking and driveway areas may cover no more than 33 percent of the front yard of a single household dwelling, or 50 percent at the end of a cul-de-sac (UDC 10.405.8.4). Landscaping, drainage, and bufferyard standards effectively limit site coverage; confirm with Development Services for a specific project.

The UDC does not set a general maximum building coverage for SF-1 in the 10.403 bulk chart. Parking and driveway areas may cover no more than 33 percent of the front yard, or 50 percent at the end of a cul-de-sac (UDC 10.405.8.4). Accessory structures are limited to 25 percent of the yard where they are located (UDC 10.403.4.2 notes). Confirm project-specific limits with Development Services.

MF — Residential: Multiple Household

The UDC does not set a general maximum building coverage for MF in the 10.403 bulk chart.
