Richland County does not regulate curbside loading zones on residential streets; loading requirements apply to new development through the Land Development Code, which requires off-street parking and loading spaces to be provided when a building or use is erected, enlarged or changed.
The county has no residential curb loading-zone ordinance; posted commercial loading zones exist mainly within municipalities. For unincorporated development, the Land Development Code's off-street parking and loading standards (Sec. 26-173 and companion sections) require the specified number of parking, stacking and loading spaces to be provided at the time a building or land use is erected, altered, enlarged, established or changed, with added spaces when a change of use increases the requirement. These are handled at site-plan review by the Community Planning and Development Department.
Failing to provide required off-street loading/parking is a zoning-compliance issue that can block a certificate of occupancy and trigger Land Development Code enforcement.
