Orem, UT Noise from Specific Sources: Delivery Truck Noise (2026)

Orem City Code Section 22-11-24 sets site development standards for the PD-12 planned development zone, a commercial redevelopment area at the southwest corner of 1300 South and Main Street bordering Victoria Park Subdivision and other residential land. Because this zone sits directly against homes, the City wrote a specific loading-and-unloading standard into the zone's development rules rather than relying only on the citywide nuisance ordinance. Every building in the PD-12 zone must have a rear or side entrance accessible to a loading area and service drive at least 26 feet wide, separate from customer traffic, with loading and delivery areas clearly marked.

No. 661) and has been amended several times through 2019, most recently by Ord. No. O-2019-0034, without altering the delivery-hours or engine-idling language. Site plans for PD-12 developments go through Planning Commission approval, and compliance with the chapter's development standards, including this loading provision, is a condition of that approval.
