Summary

Lehi requires one loading space for every 10,000 square feet of floor area at wholesale, manufacturing and industrial buildings up to 100,000 square feet, with an added space per 25,000 square feet above that. Loading spaces must sit on the same lot as the use and cannot double as parking.

A. Loading and Unloading for Wholesale, Manufacturing, and Industrial Buildings. For all wholesale, manufacturing, and industrial buildings hereafter ... erected, or for any building converted to such use or occupancy, there shall be provided one loading and unloading space for each 10,000 square feet of floor area for buildings of 100,000 square feet or less. For buildings exceeding 100,000 square feet, one additional loading and unloading space shall be required for each 25,000 square feet exceeding 100,000 square feet, or a fraction thereof. B. Location of Required Loading and Unloading Spaces. Required loading and unloading spaces shall in all cases be on the same lot as the use they are intended to serve. In no case shall required loading and unloading spaces be part of the area used to satisfy the parking requirement.

Full Breakdown

A sets the numeric loading standard for wholesale, manufacturing, and industrial buildings: one loading and unloading space for every 10,000 square feet of floor area, for buildings of 100,000 square feet or less. Once a building exceeds 100,000 square feet, the increment changes: one additional loading space is required for each additional 25,000 square feet, or any fraction of it, beyond the 100,000-square-foot mark. B fixes where those spaces have to go: required loading and unloading spaces must always be located on the same lot as the use they serve, and in no case can a required loading space be counted as part of the site's required off-street parking.

C allows some flexibility for shared sites: the City will not read the Code to block two or more buildings or uses from sharing loading and unloading spaces, as long as the combined total of shared spaces is not less than the sum of what each building or use would need computed on its own. D addresses mixed-use buildings the same way parking is often handled: the required loading spaces for a mixed-use building are the sum of what each individual use would require calculated separately, and loading capacity provided for one use cannot be credited toward another use's separate requirement.

Violations & Fines

Operating a wholesale, manufacturing, or industrial building without the loading spaces required by Section 12.100, or substituting a required loading space for required parking, is a Development Code violation under Section 34.010.D, a class C misdemeanor with each ten-day period of continued noncompliance a separate offense. The City can withhold or revoke a certificate of occupancy where required loading facilities have not been provided.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many loading spaces does a warehouse need in Lehi?
One loading and unloading space for every 10,000 square feet of floor area, for buildings up to 100,000 square feet, under Development Code Section 12.100.A. Larger buildings add one more space per additional 25,000 square feet.
Can a loading space count toward my required parking in Lehi?
No. Section 12.100.B specifically states that required loading and unloading spaces cannot be part of the area used to satisfy a site's off-street parking requirement; they are calculated and provided separately.
Can two neighboring businesses share one loading area?
Yes, under Section 12.100.C, as long as the shared loading and unloading spaces together total at least as many as each business would need if calculated on its own.
