Summary

Coconino County's zoning ordinance requires every commercial site to provide loading spaces built to the specifications of the county's Engineering Supervisor, rather than printing a fixed size in the ordinance itself. The requirement sits inside the same off-street parking chapter that sets space counts by land use, handicap parking, and bus parking dimensions, all administered by Community Development.

These county ordinances apply to unincorporated areas of Coconino County. Incorporated cities within the county may have their own rules that take precedence over county-level regulations.

F. Loading spaces shall be provided to the specifications of the Engineering Supervisor.

Full Breakdown

H). There is no county-wide fixed loading-bay dimension or restricted delivery-hours rule printed in the ordinance; the Engineering Supervisor sets the actual specification when a site plan comes in for permit review. E, with Planning and Zoning review folded into that same permitting process rather than issued separately. I, capping compact-vehicle stalls at 40 percent of the total. D.

Violations & Fines

Building without the required permits, or building a loading area that does not meet the Engineering Supervisor's approved specifications, is a zoning violation under §5.14.B: a nuisance per se punishable by up to $750 per day for an individual or $10,000 per day for a business entity, with each day of noncompliance a separate offense; the County may also withhold building and zoning permits until the loading area is brought into compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Coconino County set a minimum loading space size?
No. Zoning Ordinance §4.1.C.3.F leaves the exact specification to the county's Engineering Supervisor rather than printing a fixed dimension, so the size and layout are approved case by case when a site plan is submitted for permit review.
Are there restricted hours for commercial loading in unincorporated Coconino County?
The zoning ordinance does not set loading hours. It only requires the space itself to meet the Engineering Supervisor's specifications; noise or nuisance complaints about loading activity are handled separately from this zoning section.
What permit do I need to build a loading dock?
Section 4.1.E requires Building, Environmental Quality, and Engineering permits for parking and loading facilities, with Planning and Zoning review conducted through that same permit process rather than as a separate zoning approval.
What happens if my loading area doesn't meet the required specifications?
It is a zoning violation under §5.14.B, treated as a nuisance per se; the Hearing Officer can impose fines up to $750 per day for an individual or $10,000 per day for a business, and the County can withhold further permits until it's fixed.
