Davie, FL Parking Rules: Loading Zones (2026)

Loading and unloading in the Town of Davie is addressed primarily through the Town's own Land Development Code (Chapter 12), which sets standards for off-street loading areas and loading doors as part of nonresidential site design, rather than relying on county rules. Under the Town's development standards, exterior loading doors for nonresidential uses must remain fully closed except during loading and unloading activities, and loading doors and areas must be screened from public view from property lines; in certain districts loading doors may not face adjacent residential uses or be located within a set distance of residential zoning. These loading provisions are reviewed and enforced through the Town's site plan and Planning and Zoning process when a commercial or industrial property is developed or modified. For loading and unloading on public streets, on-street loading is controlled by any posted loading zones and by the statewide stopping/standing/parking rules in Florida Statute 316.1945, which restrict where vehicles may stand on streets, alongside the Town's Chapter 24 traffic provisions. Commercial delivery vehicles must also respect Davie's residential commercial-vehicle prohibition (Section 12-33(G)), which keeps such vehicles out of residentially zoned districts except for active, transient delivery. Businesses and developers planning loading facilities should confirm specific district requirements with the Town's Planning and Zoning Division.
