Summary
Springdale zoning requires any commercial, industrial or wholesale building to provide an off-street loading space sized and located to keep delivery trucks off the public street.
In addition to all other requirements, on the same premises with every building, structure or part thereof hereafter erected, established or enlarged and occupied for manufacturing, storage, warehouse, goods, display, department store, wholesale, market, hotel, laundry, dry cleaning or other uses involving the receipt of distribution by vehicles of materials or merchandise, there shall be provided and maintained adequate space for standing, loading and unloading in order to avoid undue interference with public use of the street or alley.

Full Breakdown
The zoning ordinance's off-street loading article (ch. 130, art. 7, § 9) requires buildings used for manufacturing, storage, warehousing, wholesale, retail display, hotels, laundries and similar delivery-heavy uses to provide standing space for loading and unloading. The minimum space is 12 feet by 30 feet with 14-foot vertical clearance, growing to 70 feet if it faces a public street. It may sit within a required setback but not within 25 feet of a residential district unless enclosed or screened by an 8-foot wall. Required space counts scale with building floor area under § 9.5's table. Parking spaces can't substitute for loading spaces.
Violations & Fines
Article 7 sets no standalone fine; the planning and community development division administers and enforces the zoning ordinance, including this loading requirement, under Art. 2, § 1.
