I'm honestly not sure what the intent of the rule is, I just know it exists and ran into it in my own pursuit of a garage. That seems like a plausible explanation; it does get lost on people that you need some permeable surface on your land to allow rainwater to percolate through, otherwise the City has to upsize storm sewers all over the place.
In my case I'd be looking at a breezeway about 30-35' long, which is kind of absurd.
