There are trade-offs around all these rules, like height limits, setbacks, or allowing multiple unattached structures vs. attached. I think sometimes the developments get better when the rules are relaxed. Maybe the right thing here is just to move the house.
A lot of historic houses used to get torn down because they had low lot coverage.
