Hamburg Village, NY Parking Rules: Loading Zones (2026)

Section 250-33.8 of the Village of Hamburg Code is the loading rule the Board of Trustees adopted in Article 33 of the Zoning chapter. It covers off-street loading for nonresidential, mixed-use, and multifamily projects, the uses Article 33 applies to under § 250-33.2C.

Loading spaces go in the side or rear yard only, on the same lot or parcel as the structure or use they serve. One loading space is required for each commercial or industrial use exceeding 20,000 square feet of gross floor area. The design must keep loading operations off sidewalks, streets, public rights-of-way, and fire lanes, and out of required off-street parking spaces and access driveways. Distance from neighbors is fixed at 10 feet from any lot line abutting a residential zoning district.

Timing enters in one place only. The reviewing board can waive the loading area requirement where loading and deliveries will occur when parking areas are used at less than 75% of capacity, or when the establishment or facility is not open for normal business activities. The Code prints no fixed delivery window.

Every loading area also needs a snow storage area sized to accommodate expected snowfall and located so fencing, landscaping, and other screening devices are protected from damage. It must meet the Article 34 landscaping and screening standards, and exterior lighting for loading areas must conform to Article 36, which requires fully shielded fixtures pointing downward. A layout plan showing entrances, drives, and parking stalls goes to site plan review under § 250-33.2B, and the reviewing board can recommend to the Board of Trustees that parking and loading requirements be modified.

Curbside loading zones are a separate matter under Chapter 229. Section 229-27 designates the locations described in Schedule XXII (§ 229-57) as loading zones, and in the Code as exported that schedule reads (Reserved), so no street loading zones are listed.
