Turlock, CA Parking Rules: Loading Zones (2026)

On every lot in any C or I district on which is conducted any commercial use permitted in that district, there shall be provided space for the loading and unloading of goods and materials. These loading spaces shall not be less than fifteen (15') feet in width, nor less than twenty-five (25') feet in length, nor less than fourteen (14') feet in height. Required spaces shall not be within a building, but shall be on the site of the use served or on an adjoining site. On a site adjoining an alley, a required loading space shall be accessible from the alley unless alternative access is approved by the Development Services Director. A required loading space shall be accessible without backing a truck across a street property line unless the Development Services Director determines that provision of turn-around space is infeasible and approves alternative access. An occupied loading space shall not prevent access to a required off-street parking space. A loading area shall not be located in a required front or corner front yard. Except in a C-H or I district, a loading area visible from a street shall be screened on three (3) sides by a fence, wall, or hedge at least six (6') feet in height. (1207-CS, Rep&ReEn, 05/28/2015)
