Summary
Beaverton requires off-street loading docks to sit on the same lot as the building they serve, never inside required parking area, and never positioned so a loading vehicle sticks out into a public street.
The off-street loading facilities required for the uses mentioned in this Code shall be in all cases on the same site as the structure they are intended to serve. In no case shall the required off-street loading space be part of the area used to satisfy the off-street parking requirements. No space for loading or unloading vehicles shall be so located that a vehicle using such loading space projects into any public street.
Full Breakdown
Beaverton Development Code § 60.25.20 governs where off-street loading facilities go in the City of Beaverton, Washington County. Every required loading space must be on the same site as the structure it serves, and it cannot double as required off-street parking. Loading and unloading vehicles cannot project into a public street while using the space: access must come from an alley, or from a street if no alley adjoins the lot. Any required front, side, or rear yard may be used for loading unless another provision of the Development Code prohibits it.
Violations & Fines
Loading layouts that violate these siting standards are denied at site-plan review, and a built-out noncompliant loading area is addressed through the city's standard code-enforcement process.
