From the ordinance
"Maximum coverage" means the maximum area of a site allowed to be covered by buildings. For the purposes of this definition, "buildings" include all land covered by primary/principal/main buildings, garages and carports, accessory buildings, covered decks, and other enclosed and covered areas, but not paved areas such as walkways, driveways, patios, uncovered parking areas or roads. All areas of coverage are computed at ground level. The purpose of limiting coverage is to minimize the visual impact of the structures proposed on any lot by establishing a proportional relationship between the area of the lot and the area covered by buildings. In the areas of the county proximate to Lake Tahoe which are also within the jurisdiction of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA), coverage is defined differently and is determined according to regulations adopted by the TRPA.
