WHITE CURB (PASSENGER LOADING) ZONES
White Curb (Passenger Loading) zones are used to reserve curb space for the loading and unloading of vehicle passengers and their luggage. Because the use of the space for other normal parking is prohibited, their use must be restricted to locations where there is a high level of such loading activity. The Municipal Code restricts the amount of space in any one block that may be designated as loading (Yellow Curb) or passenger loading (White Curb) zones to one-fourth of the total length of the block. Designation of a White Curb zone is considered by the City only after receipt of a written application from the abutting activity that would primarily benefit from such an installation.
1. A White Curb zone is warranted in any of the following locations when it can be shown that a significant number of passengers will be served by designation of the zone:
a. A government building serving the general public.
b. A hotel or motel catering to daily guests which maintains a ground floor lobby that is open 24 hours a day.
c. An apartment or apartment hotel catering to weekly or monthly patrons which contains 30 or more separate living units.
d. A public theater, auditorium or meeting hall with a seating capacity of 200 or more. e. A hospital or convalescent home with a bed capacity of 40 or more. f. A church.
g. A school.
h. A mailbox with a curbside drop chute.
i. An access point to any large pedestrian generator, such as a beach.
2. Except where the activity which will primarily benefit from the designation of a White Curb zone is operated by a governmental entity, a favorable recommendation for an otherwise warranted zone will be contingent upon the applicant depositing with the City a fee adequate to cover the cost of the installation.
