Pinal County, AZ Parking Rules: Loading Zones (2026)

140 defines and regulates off-street loading for commercial and industrial uses in the unincorporated county. 040 sets the minimum size of a single loading space at ten feet wide, 30 feet long, and 14 feet high. 050 requires at least one such space for any manufacturing plant, warehouse, retail store, wholesale store, market, hotel, mortuary, hospital, laundry, or dry-cleaning establishment, or any other use that regularly receives or ships goods by vehicle. Once a building's floor area used for that purpose exceeds 10,000 square feet, the code adds one more loading space for every additional 10,000 square feet.

A required loading space can sit inside a required yard, but it cannot be placed within 50 feet of a residential-zone lot line unless it is entirely inside an enclosed building or screened on three sides by a solid fence or wall at least six feet tall. 060 lets a property owner build over a loading area, as long as 14 feet of clear height is kept beneath the structure so trucks can still maneuver underneath. Planning and Development Services reviews loading-space layout as part of site plan and building permit review before a commercial use can open.

140 make noncompliance a Class 2 misdemeanor with civil penalties running up to $750 per day for an individual or $10,000 per day for a business entity.
