Loading zones in the City of Maricopa are designated by yellow curb paint under Municipal Code 10.10.120 and supported by on-site loading standards in Zoning Code Chapter 18.105. A yellow-painted curb is reserved exclusively for vehicles loading or unloading freight during the hours posted on signs at one or both ends of the zone.
Maricopa Municipal Code 10.10.120 (Curb markings) establishes that if a curb is painted yellow, the space adjacent to that curb must be used exclusively by vehicles during the loading or unloading of freight during the hours designated by signs placed at one or both ends of the zone. Red-painted curbs under the same section prohibit parking at all times (and may mark bus loading zones when accompanied by appropriate signs). For commercial sites, MCC 18.105.030 (General regulations and standards) requires loading spaces and maneuvering areas to be located on the lot the use serves, and provides that the maneuvering of vehicles needed to enter or exit loading areas must not occur on city streets. MCC 18.80.130 addresses screening of truck docks, loading, and service areas from residential districts. Together these provisions govern where freight loading may occur on-street (yellow curb zones) and how loading areas must be designed and screened on private commercial property.
Parking in a yellow loading zone for a non-loading purpose, or outside posted hours, is a parking violation enforced by the Maricopa Police Department under Chapter 10.10/10.20. On-site loading design and screening violations under Chapter 18.105 and 18.80 are enforced by Maricopa Development Services as zoning-code violations.
