Dublin council adopts RV-park rules setting distance, size and stay limits
Summary
The city adopted Ordinance 2510 to regulate recreational vehicle parks, establishing a 10,000-foot exclusion zone around a central intersection, minimum park sizes and limits on long-term stays; the measure passed 6–0 after a roll-call vote.
The Dublin City Council adopted Ordinance 2510 on Nov. 20, 2025, establishing comprehensive regulations for recreational vehicle parks, including a 10,000-foot exclusion radius around the Belleview Road/Veterans Boulevard/Lancaster intersection, a minimum park size of 5 acres, and specific occupancy and duration limits.
City staff outlined the ordinance’s key provisions: a density cap of seven campsites per developable acre, prohibition of permanent structures within an RV park, a restriction that no more than 50% of sites may be considered "long-term" (defined as stays longer than 45 days), and a maximum continuous stay of six months that requires a 30-day absence before a resident could return. The ordinance also requires an on-site manager during business hours and a 24/7 emergency contact for each facility.
"Some of the modifications to this proposed ordinance were made as a result of council comments at prior meetings," City Manager Josh Powell said, explaining that the exclusion radius was intended to keep RV parks away from established neighborhoods and to concentrate qualifying sites along bypass areas.
Councilman Benny Jones confirmed he had reviewed the map and had no further questions. After a roll-call, the ordinance passed unanimously. The council recorded a six-to-zero vote in favor.
The ordinance will be administered through the city’s planning and zoning process; any RV-park application must still proceed as a conditional use and receive planning and zoning approval before development can proceed.
