Wauwatosa, WI Parking Rules: Loading Zones (2026)

32 'Loading Zones and Site-Specific Parking' supplies the operative rules. 010 defines the term: '"Loading zone" as used in this chapter means and includes that portion of a street adjacent to a curb or property line reserved for the exclusive use of vehicles for the purpose of loading or unloading materials, articles or commodities,' distinguishing it from 'site-specific parking,' a designation created to fit a unique circumstance at a particular property. 020 requires an applicant, individual, business or corporation, to file with the city clerk at Wauwatosa City Hall, describing the requested location, its lineal-foot length, the number and type of vehicles it must accommodate, and the materials to be loaded or unloaded; the city engineer reviews new and renewal applications, renewal denials can be appealed to the transportation affairs committee, and new applications go to that committee and then the common council for a vote.

030 lets the common council grant the permit, requires payment of a fee before issuance, adds an extra fee for any zone longer than thirty feet, adds a separate installation fee, sets a one-year term running from January 1, and leaves every permit subject to revocation by the council and to any regulation the council later adopts. The exact dollar fee amounts sit in the city's consolidated fee schedule rather than printed in the ordinance text. 310 cross-references this chapter, noting the current list of granted loading zone and site-specific parking permits is kept in the city engineer's office rather than printed in the code itself.
