Loveland, CO Parking Rules: Loading Zones (2026)

08, non-residential uses that require routine deliveries or shipments must provide one off-street loading space for buildings between 5,000 and 20,000 square feet, plus one additional space for each further 20,000 square feet (or fraction) of gross floor area. In the DT Zone and neighborhood activity centers, the Director may approve alley loading or over-the-curb loading instead, and may set conditions on timing and vehicle types used to protect street or alley safety. 06 require loading areas to be screened from principal building entrances; if a loading area sits within 150 feet of a residential zone, street, park, or open space, the property must either provide an eight-foot bufferyard wall or enclose the loading area with a roof and a screen wall at least 60 percent opaque.

All backing and maneuvering must occur on-site so vehicles exit in a forward direction, and the loading area cannot block a public street, alley, driveway, or sidewalk. 01 cap trailer storage in a loading space at 48 hours so the space stays available for routine delivery-vehicle use, and separately bar parking or loading areas from being designed or located in a way that blocks access to other loading spaces, parking aisles, fire lanes, or building entrances, with an exception for tandem parking on certain residential uses and valet lots.
