The Larimer County Land Use Code off-street parking and loading standards require loading zones and service areas to minimize interference with access and circulation on public roadways and within a parking lot, and, where possible, to sit on separate routes off the primary vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian paths, such as the sides or rear of a building. Accesses shared by delivery and service vehicles must be designed to reduce conflicts. In Fort Collins, Traffic Code Section 1214 allows commercial vehicles and trailers to occupy a street only while being expeditiously loaded or unloaded, after which they must comply with the oversized parking limits and leave.
