Full Breakdown
Section 54-357 sets a loading-space table by use and floor area: for example, retail/warehouse/industrial buildings need one space per 2,000-10,000 sq ft, two up to 20,000 sq ft, and one more per additional 50,000 sq ft. Loading spaces must sit on the same lot as the use, stay 30 feet from a street intersection, and can't require vehicles to back into a public street. Each space must be at least 12 feet wide, 45 feet long, with 14 feet of vertical clearance (smaller for funeral homes). This applies only in unincorporated towns that adopted county zoning under Wis. Stat. §59.69.
Violations & Fines
A building lacking the required loading spaces or built without them is a zoning violation the county can require the owner to correct before occupancy.
