County zoning requires off-street loading space in business and industrial districts: one loading space for every 10,000 square feet (or fraction over 3,000) of commercial building area. Each loading space must be at least 10 by 45 feet, separate from the parking area.
Waukesha County's Basic Zoning Ordinance §3.13 governs off-street loading in the unincorporated towns. It requires, in any local business, general business, limited industrial, or general industrial district, an off-street loading space in addition to the parking area for every 10,000 square feet or fraction over 3,000 square feet of building area used for commercial purposes. Each loading space must measure at least 10 feet wide by 45 feet long. This standard supplements the general off-street parking rules of §3.12. On-street loading zones on public streets are a municipal matter and are set by the city or village where the street lies, not by the county.
Site plans lacking required loading space fail zoning review; noncompliance is subject to citation and site-plan enforcement by county Planning & Zoning.
