Pickerington zoning code establishes setbacks of 30 feet front, 8-10 feet side, and 30 feet rear for typical R-2 single-family lots. Setbacks vary by zoning district, and corner lots have two front setbacks on each street frontage.
Pickerington Zoning Code regulates building setbacks in its residential districts (R-1, R-2, R-3, PUD). Typical R-2 single-family setbacks are 30 feet front, 8 feet side (16 feet total both sides), and 30 feet rear. R-1 larger lots require 40 feet front and 50 feet rear. Corner lots must observe front-yard setbacks on both street frontages. Accessory structures must be at least 5-10 feet from side/rear property lines and set back from the front building line. PUD developments may have custom setbacks approved with the development plan (Sycamore Creek, Preston Trails). Variances require Board of Zoning Appeals approval. Easements on property may further restrict buildable area.
Building within setback without variance: stop-work order plus requirement to remove or relocate. Post-construction violation: order to modify plus $250-500 fines per day of continued non-compliance.
