Weber County, UT Parking Rules: Loading Zones (2026)

Section 108-8-8 requires every building or use in the county that receives or distributes materials or merchandise by vehicle, think warehouses, distribution centers, retail stores taking deliveries, or contractor yards, to provide and maintain its own off-street standing, loading, and unloading space on the same lot, rather than relying on the public street or alley. The standard is a formula tied to building size: for every 20,000 square feet of floor area, or land area used for the receiving or distribution purpose, in excess of the first 3,000 square feet, the property needs a loading space measuring at least 10 feet by 25 feet, with a minimum 14 feet of overhead clearance so a standard delivery truck can pull in and unload.

A use under 3,000 square feet doesn't trigger the requirement at all, and the code lets a property provide the space in another adequate configuration if a site plan shows it is otherwise adequately provided. The section works alongside Section 108-8-9's access rules for businesses that need automobile access, which caps curb cuts at two roadways per 100 feet of street frontage and limits each roadway to 34 feet wide, and Section 108-8-12's requirement that commercial and industrial applicants install curb, gutter, and sidewalk to county public works standards along their street frontage. Both the loading-space rule and the neighboring parking chapter sections were most recently amended by Ordinance 2026-09 on May 26, 2026.
