Spokane County requires off-street loading space for larger commercial and industrial buildings so delivery trucks do not block streets. Loading spaces must be at least 15 by 60 by 15 feet. Residential uses have no loading requirement.
Under Zoning Code section 14.802.180, 'off-street loading facilities are required to provide adequate space to accommodate outside deliveries from large vehicles which cannot be functionally served by normal parking stalls.' Loading spaces must be on the same lot as the structure served, be designed so trucks do not project into the public right-of-way, and generally must not require backing to or from an adjacent street. A standard loading space must measure at least 15 feet wide, 60 feet long and 15 feet high (a single required space may be 12 by 30 by 15 feet). The number of spaces scales with building size per Table 802-2. Residential uses require no off-street loading.
Missing or non-conforming loading space is enforced at permit review; certificate of occupancy can be withheld until corrected.
