I'll have to remeasure the area I plan on building it. Hopefully I have enough room to accommodate the extra space. If not, what is the minimum square footage for the run?

In my opinion, I gave you the minimum. Others will tell you that 10 sq ft /bird in the run is enough. It really isn't.
If you install poop boards under your roosts and scoop them out each morning, you will find you only need to clean the coop 2 to 4 times a year.
Tomorrow is the one year anniversary of my new coop being in service and I'm cleaning it out this weekend for the first time.

Hi and welcome to BYC! We're glad you joined us! :frow
I agree with @DobieLover about the space requirements. Bigger is always better. If they're a little crowded it can cause all sorts of behavior issues down the road.
Good luck and have fun with your new chickens! :)
