Summary

In East Brunswick Township, § 192-40 requires truck loading and unloading areas off any public street or public parking area, screened from view, separate from parking spaces, and at least 15 feet wide and 60 feet long. The on-street loading zone schedule in § 209-54 prints no locations.

§ 192-40. Loading Areas. A. Required. Truck loading and unloading areas shall be provided in sufficient amount to permit the transfer of goods and products in other than a public street or public parking area and shall be adequately screened from the view of adjoining properties or streets. B. Exclusive of Off-Street Parking. Loading spaces shall be provided as an addition to off-street parking spaces and shall not be considered as off-street parking spaces. C. Size. Loading spaces shall be at least 15 feet wide and 60 feet in length.

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.
