Full Breakdown
Section 360.020, Permits for Curb Loading Zones, provides that the City Traffic Engineer will not designate or sign a curb loading zone on special request unless the requester applies for a permit for the zone and for two signs marking its ends; the Traffic Engineer may impose conditions on use and reimbursement for sign loss or damage. Section 360.030, Standing in Passenger Curb Loading Zone, bars stopping, standing or parking for any purpose other than the expeditious loading or unloading of passengers in a marked passenger curb loading zone during its posted hours, and limits that use to a period not exceeding three (3) minutes.
Section 360.040, Standing in Freight Curb Loading Zones, similarly restricts a marked freight zone to the expeditious unloading and delivery or pickup and loading of materials during posted hours, but sets no fixed minute cap, only requiring that the stop be for the expeditious handling of freight. Section 360.010 authorizes the City Traffic Engineer to determine curb loading zone locations and post signs stating the applicable hours; without those signs in place, the restrictions of this Chapter do not apply, per the general signage requirement carried through Chapter 365.
A specific loading zone is also fixed by ordinance at Section 360.080, roughly 150 feet north of Filmore Street on Main Street (State Route B), reserved for an industrial first aid station entrance and vending machine suppliers.
Violations & Fines
Standing beyond the permitted purpose or time in a designated loading zone is prosecuted as an ordinance violation under the City's general penalty, Section 100.220; a vehicle occupying a passenger zone longer than three minutes, or a freight zone for non-freight purposes, is subject to citation by the Police Department.
