Lauderhill, FL Parking Rules: Loading Zones (2026)

Section 6.6 of the Land Development Regulations requires every structure or use erected in Lauderhill to provide and maintain adequate off-street loading space on the same plot, so that delivery, shipping, loading, and unloading vehicles do not encroach on or interfere with public use of the streets and alleys, per Section 6.6.1. Section 6.6.2 extends the same duty to a building that is later enlarged, or a use that changes into one requiring loading space, meaning a retrofit or change of use can trigger the requirement even if the original building predated it.

Section 6.6.3 defines the physical minimum: an off-street loading space must be at least 10 feet wide by 25 feet long with 14 feet of vertical clearance, directly accessible from a street or alley without crossing another required loading space, and reachable from inside the building it serves. Section 6.6.4's Table 6.6-1 scales the number of required spaces to a retail, warehouse, industrial, restaurant, or similar use's floor area, starting at one space under 10,000 square feet and rising to eight spaces between 200,000 and 290,000 square feet, plus one more for every additional 90,000 square feet.

Multifamily buildings get their own schedule under Section 6.6.4(B) and (C): one space at 50 to 100 units, and one more per each additional 100 units. Sections 6.6.5 and 6.6.6 bar double-counting a loading space against parking requirements or another use's loading needs, and Section 6.6.9 lets the Planning and Zoning Director grant administrative relief from the required number of spaces under the standards in Article IV, Part 3.0, Section 3.4.
