Roseville, MN Parking Rules: Loading Zones (2026)

Section 1013.15 of the Roseville City Code governs off-street loading facilities. Under subsection (a), the loading requirement for nonresidential buildings can be satisfied by designating a loading zone area on the site. That area must be separate from any required off-street parking area, and access must be arranged so it does not conflict with automobile circulation to, from, or within the site.

For docks and berths, subsection (b) defines a loading facility as the dock, the berth for the vehicle, maneuvering areas, and the necessary screening walls. All loading berth curb cuts must be located 40 feet or more from the intersection of two street rights-of-way. No berth can be less than 50 feet from any parcel zoned residential and used or subdivided for residential use, or from a parcel with an occupied institutional building such as a school, religious institution, or community center, unless the berth is entirely within a building. Loading facilities cannot occupy the required front yard, although the community development department can waive that where access to the berth is directly from the street and no other practicable means of access exist. Each berth must permit vehicular access to a street in a manner that will least interfere with traffic, and all loading facilities and accessways must be paved with bituminous or concrete paving to control dust and drainage. Screening follows section 1011.03.

Subsection (c) limits what a berth can be used for: no loading berth or access drive can be used for storage of goods or inoperable vehicles, and it cannot count toward the spaces needed to meet off-street parking requirements. Section 1013.15 prints no loading hours.

Curbside loading is handled in Title 6. Section 602.04(b) lets a commercial vehicle double park to call for or deliver parcels or merchandise for the length of time absolutely and reasonably necessary when access to the curb is blocked. Section 602.04(c) bars a truck with a capacity of over two tons from parking on any street for more than 90 minutes or for the time necessary to load or unload.
