Summary
The San Diego County Zoning Ordinance requires off-street loading spaces for commercial and industrial buildings and sets a standard loading-space size. Commercial vehicles may stop on residential streets only while actively loading.
Loading spaces shall be 10 feet wide by 35 feet long. All buildings containing commercial or industrial use types, hospitals, or institutions hereafter constructed, converted, established, or enlarged to increase their floor area shall be provided with loading spaces.
Full Breakdown
Bostonia is unincorporated, so the County Zoning Ordinance governs loading. Section 6786 requires that new or enlarged commercial, industrial, hospital, or institutional buildings provide off-street loading spaces, and states 'Loading spaces shall be 10 feet wide by 35 feet long.' Loading spaces must have safe ingress and egress. On residential streets, County Code 72.126 otherwise bans heavy commercial vehicles but expressly allows a vehicle that is 'loading or unloading property.' Required loading areas may not be repurposed for storage, sale, or repair of vehicles without a County permit.
Violations & Fines
Failing to provide required loading spaces is a zoning/building violation; misusing loading or parking areas without a permit violates Zoning Ordinance Sec. 6752.
