Georgetown designates loading zones, accessible spaces and bus stops downtown, and regulates stopping, standing and parking in restricted zones under Chapter 10.16. Off-street loading for new development is set by the Unified Development Code, Chapter 9 (Off-Street Parking and Loading).
Around the downtown Square, the city designates specific curb spaces for purposes such as disabled (accessible) parking, loading zones and bus stops, separate from the numbered three-hour spaces. On-street loading and other restricted areas are administered through the Code of Ordinances, Title 10, Chapter 10.16, which sets out no-parking and limited-time zones (for example, limited-time zones under Section 10.16.020) where vehicles may not stop, stand or park except as posted. For new construction and commercial development, off-street loading requirements - the number and size of loading berths a property must provide - are established by the city's Unified Development Code, Chapter 9 (Off-Street Parking and Loading), rather than by the on-street parking chapter. Because the precise dimensions and time limits for individual loading zones are set by posted signage and the development standards for each site, drivers and businesses should follow the signs at each location and consult Chapter 9 for site requirements. Enforcement of on-street loading-zone misuse downtown is handled by parking ambassadors and the police; report problems through askGTX or the non-emergency line.
Parking in a posted loading zone, accessible space or bus stop outside its allowed use can result in a warning or ticket downtown and is enforced by parking ambassadors and police. Off-street loading deficiencies for development are addressed through site plan review under the Unified Development Code.
