Driveway and adjacent paved storage
One RV may use a driveway or the paved area between it and the nearest side lot line. Keep the RV and its accessories at least one foot from the public right-of-way. The adjacent area needs an all-weather surface satisfactory to Community Development. The RV must be owned by and registered to the occupant. Alternative locations may need a conditional use permit.
Yards, screening and access
The side-yard, street-side-yard and rear-yard route has a two-vehicle limit including RVs and a six-foot screening fence or wall. Preserve the required 36-inch unobstructed side yard and garage parking. The Area 5b side-yard encroachment exception has specific setback, 25-foot RV length and fence-position conditions; larger RVs or different setbacks may need a conditional use permit. Have Planning identify the correct diagram area.
Sleeping and maintenance
Living or sleeping in an RV on public rights-of-way is prohibited. Occupancy on lots is also prohibited except identified temporary-use, fireworks-booth or lawful park routes. Unregistered or inoperable vehicles need a separate applicable exception. Repairs and dismantling in driveways and specified visible/setback areas are restricted. Storage does not authorize hookups or street parking.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Dublin Planning or Code Enforcement to confirm jurisdiction, the actual parcel or road, vehicle classification, position, duration and intended use. Obtain the required road, building, electrical, plumbing or wastewater approvals before relying on a parking exception. Easements, HOA rules and leases remain separate. Start with the official rule or permit guidance.
Use the Dublin parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
