Kootenai County has no citywide on-street loading-zone program — those belong to the incorporated cities. In the unincorporated county, off-street loading is a site-design requirement: commercial and industrial developments must provide adequate on-site loading and maneuvering areas under the Land Use Code.
Painted on-street loading zones are a feature of city downtowns (Coeur d'Alene, Post Falls), not the rural unincorporated county, where public roads are run by highway districts. The county instead addresses loading through site design: the Land Use and Development Code's parking standards require commercial, retail and industrial uses to provide off-street parking, driveways and loading/maneuvering areas sized to the use so that trucks load and turn on-site rather than in the roadway. Loading and access details are reviewed at site-plan and development-permit stage. If you need an on-street loading zone, that request goes to the relevant city or highway district.
Inadequate or blocked on-site loading is a site-plan/zoning compliance issue; on-street obstruction on rural roads is handled by the highway district or Sheriff.
