Blaine, MN Parking Rules: Loading Zones (2026)

The City of Blaine does not publish a standalone residential loading-zone ordinance in the Residential Guide to Community Standards. Loading and unloading on public streets is governed by Chapter 82 of the City Code (Traffic and Vehicles) together with any posted signage that designates time limits or restricted areas; where signs mark a loading zone or no-parking area, those posted restrictions control. The general street-parking rules apply to any vehicle stopping to load or unload: no owner or person in charge of a vehicle may park or permit it to stand on any highway, street, or alley for more than 48 consecutive hours, and from November 1 to April 1 no on-street parking is allowed from 2:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. For commercial and multi-family development, off-street loading and parking requirements are set through the zoning ordinance's performance standards (BZO Chapter 33), which establish required off-street parking and loading for new construction. Drivers loading or unloading should also avoid blocking the sight-distance triangle at intersections (BCO 82-231 through 82-232). Questions are directed to the Blaine Police Department (763-785-6168) or Community Standards (763-785-6146).
