Full Breakdown
Greene County's zoning regulations require any new or expanded building of 10,000 square feet or more used for manufacturing, storage, warehousing, retail, wholesale, hotel, hospital, mortuary, laundry, or similar delivery-dependent uses to provide at least one off-street loading space on the same lot, plus one more for each additional 20,000 square feet. Each space must be at least 10 feet wide, 25 feet long, and 14 feet high, and cannot sit within 50 feet of a residential district unless enclosed by a building or a solid six-foot fence. This applies only in unincorporated Greene County. Springfield, Republic, Willard, Strafford, and Ash Grove enforce their own municipal codes.
Violations & Fines
Greene County Planning & Zoning enforces the requirement during building permit review; failing to provide required loading space can result in permit denial or a zoning violation citation.
