Dublin R-1 district limits lot coverage (all buildings and impervious surfaces) to 25-30 percent. R-2 allows up to 35 percent. PUD developments have project-specific coverage limits in their development text.
Lot coverage includes the primary dwelling, accessory structures, driveways, patios, decks, and pools. Dublin Stormwater Code requires additional stormwater management (detention/retention) when coverage exceeds 20 percent on lots over 1 acre. Pervious pavers count at 50 percent toward coverage calculations if designed per Dublin Engineering Standards. Impervious surface restrictions help protect the Scioto River watershed from runoff pollution.
