Full Breakdown
Section 192-40, Loading Areas, sits in Chapter 192, Design Guidelines & Standards, which provides guidelines and standards for site plan, P.U.R.D. and subdivision design. Subsection A requires truck loading and unloading areas in sufficient amount to permit the transfer of goods and products in other than a public street or public parking area, and requires that they be adequately screened from the view of adjoining properties or streets. Subsection B says loading spaces are provided in addition to off-street parking spaces and do not count as off-street parking spaces. Subsection C sets the size: at least 15 feet wide and 60 feet in length. Section 192-28 adds that loading and unloading areas are screened around their perimeter by a buffer strip a minimum of five (5) feet wide.
On the street side, § 209-23 designates as loading zones the locations described in Schedule XV. That schedule is codified at § 209-54, and in the Code as exported it prints the header of street, side and location followed by the single entry (Reserved). No on-street loading zone location and no loading hours are printed in § 209-23 or § 209-54. Section 209-10 separately bars stopping or standing during the times specified in Schedule IV, and a vehicle that blocks loading zones, entrances or exit ways on East Brunswick High School grounds can be towed at the owner's or operator's expense under § 209-14.
For a commercial property in East Brunswick Township, the loading rule in the Code is therefore a site design standard rather than a curbside designation: the 15 foot by 60 foot space and the off-street requirement are written into the chapter that guides site plan, P.U.R.D. and subdivision review.
Violations & Fines
Section 192-40 prints no fine of its own. It is a design standard in a chapter written to guide site plan, P.U.R.D. and subdivision design. Chapter 209 violations that print no separate penalty fall under § 209-4: not more than fifty dollars ($50.) or imprisonment not exceeding fifteen (15) days, or both. Towing at the owner's expense applies on East Brunswick High School grounds under § 209-14.
