Oklahoma City, OK Parking Rules: Loading Zones (2026)

The curfew sits inside a broader off-street loading framework in Article X of the Zoning and Planning Code. 1 as an absolute minimum; the applicant is responsible for evaluating whether its own needs exceed that minimum. 2, each required off-street berth must measure at least 12 feet by 60 feet with 15 feet of overhead clearance, cannot encroach into a required parking space or the public right-of-way, and cannot host any maneuvering in the right-of-way. 3 requires unenclosed loading areas to carry hard-surface paving and a six-inch header curb separating the area from the street.

4 curfew above. Two carve-outs modify the framework. A, an applicant short of the required off-street spaces can use a public street for maneuvering if the street segment sits entirely within an industrial-zoned area and does not connect to non-industrial streets, and can appeal loading requirements to the Public Works Director as excessive when factors such as railroad access or air-freight storage justify relief. B, buildings in the DBD, DTD-1 and DTD-2 downtown districts need no off-street loading at all, but the owner can instead apply to the Traffic and Transportation Commission for a street loading zone that does not impede a moving traffic lane. 7.
