Key rule: In Gahanna, a portable storage unit such as a POD may stay on a property for 30 consecutive days, counting delivery and removal days, and may not go on a public street or right-of-way unless the city approves it.
In Gahanna, the zoning code allows a portable storage unit such as a POD on a lot for 30 consecutive days, keeps it off public streets and rights-of-way unless the city approves, and limits its size to nine feet high, ten feet wide and 20 feet long.
