The local zoning ordinance permits lot coverage by all structures and impervious surfaces of 30%. How many square feet of a lot can be covered if the lot is 150 feet by 250 feet?

  1. 11,250 square feet

  2. 37,500 square feet

  3. 7,500 square feet

  4. 10,000 square feet

The correct answer is: 11,250 square feet

In this scenario, the lot coverage is based on both structures and impervious surfaces, meaning any solid surfaces like roofs, driveways, or patios. The total lot coverage allowed is 30% of the lot size. With a lot size of 150 feet by 250 feet, the total area of the lot is 37,500 square feet (150 x 250 = 37,500). To determine the maximum lot coverage, we take 30% of 37,500 which equals 11,250 square feet. This means that all structures and impervious surfaces on the lot cannot exceed 11,250 square feet. The other options (B, C, D) are incorrect because they do not take into account the total lot size or the 30% limit stated by the local zoning ordinance.
