Section 31.210 BICYCLE PARKING STANDARDS is hereby added as follows: "( 1) Purpose Bicycle parking is required for most land use categories to encourage the use of bicycles by providing safe and convenient places to park bicycles. Bicycle parking is required in most land-use districts and categories to encourage the use of bicycles by providing safe and convenient places to park bicycles. The required number of spaces is lower for uses that do not tend to attract bicycle riders and higher for those that do. Additionally, some bicycle parking is required on the basis of specifically encouraging employee, student or customer related bicycle use. The main purpose of these design standards is to ensure that bicycle parking is convenient to cyclists in its location and provides sufficient security from theft and damage. Long-term bicycle parking space requirements are intended to accommodate employees, conmmters, students, residents and other persons who expect to leave their bicycles for more than two hours. Short-term bicycle parking spaces acconm10date visitors, customers, messengers, and other persons expected to depart within approximately two hours. 3 . . . (2) Bicycle Parking Standards (a) The required minimum number of bicycle parking spaces for each principal use is three spaces. Specific requirements per use are given in Section 31.220. Additional bicycle parking spaces may be required at common use areas. Fractional numbers of spaces shall be rounded up to the next whole space. (b) Each bicycle parking space shall be at least 2 by 6 feet with an overhead clearance of 7 feet, and with a 5 foot access aisle beside or between each row of bicycle parking, and between parked bicycles and a wall or structure. (The dimensions for commonly used bicycle racks are shown in Figure 31.21 0(2)(b )). Bicycles may be tipped vertically for storage but not hung above the floor. Bicycle parking shall be provided at ground level unless an elevator is easily accessible to an approved bicycle storage area. Each required bicycle parking space shall be accessible without removing another bicycle. (c) All required long-term bicycle parking spaces shall be sheltered from precipitation. Short- term bicycle parking is not required to be sheltered. (14) Direct access from the bicycle parking to the public right-of-way shall be provided with access ramps, ifnecessary, and pedestrian access from the bicycle parking area to the building entrance. (3) Bicycle Parking Location and Security (a) Bicycle parking shall consist of a securely fixed structure that supports the bicycle frame in a stable position without damage to wheels, frame or component and that allow the frame and both wheels to be locked to the rack by the bicyclist's own locking device. Bicycle parking shall be provided within a convenient distance of, and clearly visible from, the main entrance to the building as determined by the City. Bicycle parking racks, shelters or lockers must be securely anchored to the ground or to a structure. (b) Bicycle parking shall be separated from motor vehicle parking by a barrier, curb, or sufficient distance to prevent damage to parked bicycles. (c) Where bicycle parking facilities are not directly visible and obvious from the public right(s)-of-way, sign(s) shall be provided to direct bicyclists to the parking. Directions to sheltered facilities inside a structure may be signed or supplied by the employer, as appropriate. Short-term parking must be made available to the general public. (d) Bicycle parking may be located inside a building on a floor which has an outdoor entrance open for use and floor location which does not require stairs to access the space; exceptions may be made for parking on upper stories within multi-story residential buildings. (e) Pedestrian Conflicts. Bicycle parking and bicycle racks shall be located to avoid conflict with pedestrian movement and access. Bicycle parking may be located in the public sidewalk or right-of-way where this still leaves a minimum five feet between the parked 4 . . . bicycle and the storefront and does not conflict with pedestrian accessibility. (f) For multi-family dwellings with required bike parking, requirements may be met through the provision of individual garages or storage units. For housing relying on a common garage and without storage units, bicycle racks must be provided in the garage. (4) Motor Vehicle Parking Space Reduction Credit (a) Bicycle parking may substitute for up to 25 percent of required parking. For every five non-required bicycle parking spaces that meet the short or long-term bicycle parking standards, the motor vehicle parking requirement is reduced by one space. Existing parking may be converted to take advantage of this provision." 5 . . .
