Step 1.Find Out if You Meet the Requirements

Before you fill out the application, make sure you meet these requirements:

• You don't have off-street parking that can be used for loading or unloading
• You plan to use this space for loading and unloading purposes only, not for parking
• You don't have another loading zone on your block. Loading zones are limited to one per block, whenever possible

Loading zones can be used by anyone who wants to load or unload in that space, not just the business where the sign is placed. Anyone who's not loading or unloading, and is parked in the space for longer than 20 minutes can be ticketed.
