Loading dock & Parking, where's the line?

katie walker: stg design; September 5, 2018

Hi there,

We have a multi-story building with below and above grade parking. Our loading dock sits within the middle of the Boundary area inside the parking garage. At what point/line do we stop the parking and start the loading dock areas?

Hi Katie,

Are the boundaries of the loading dock not established in some way? I would take a logical and justifiable approach.

Thanks,
