Dublin Zoning Code 153.074 sets residential setbacks: 30-40 foot front yard, 8-10 foot side yard (with 20-foot total between side yards), and 40-foot rear yard in typical R-1 single-family districts.
Setbacks vary by zoning district. R-1 Restricted Suburban Residential requires 40-foot front, 10-foot side (20 total), 40-foot rear on lots 20,000+ sq ft. R-2 Limited Suburban requires 30-foot front, 8-foot side, 40-foot rear on 10,000 sq ft minimum lots. PUD (Planned Unit Development) districts like Muirfield, Tartan Fields, and Ballantrae have custom setbacks per their development text. Corner lots require setback from both street frontages. Accessory structures have their own setback table (5-10 feet side/rear for sheds under 200 sq ft).
