   (B)   Exemptions. This section does not apply to single-family and two-family housing (attached, detached, or manufactured housing), home occupations, agriculture and livestock uses.

   (C)   Location. Bicycle parking should be no farther from the main building entrance than the distance to the closest vehicle space, or 50 feet, whichever is less. Long-term (i.e., covered) bicycle parking should be incorporated whenever possible into building design. Short-term bicycle parking, when allowed within a public right-of-way, should be coordinated with the design of street furniture, as applicable.

   (D)   Design. "Inverted U" or "staple" style racks should be considered. Bicycle racks shall provide a secure point of contact so that both the frame and wheel of a bicycle may be locked to the rack using a standard U lock. Bicycle racks are recommended to provide two points of contact between the rack and the bicycle in order to hold the bicycle securely and prevent pivoting or tipping. Individual "inverted U" or "staple" style racks shall be placed to encourage bicycles to be parked parallel to the rack and achieve maximum capacity. Where multiple racks are placed together, racks shall be placed parallel to each other spaced on 4- foot centers to allow access to both sides of each rack. Racks shall be placed so that a 6-foot bicycle may be parked without interference from nearby walls or fixed objects.

   (E)   Visibility and security. Bicycle parking for customers and visitors of a use shall be visible from street sidewalks or building entrances, so that it provides sufficient security from theft and damage.

   (F)   Options for storage. Long-term bicycle parking requirements for multiple family uses and employee parking can be met by providing a bicycle storage room, bicycle lockers, racks, or other secure storage space inside or outside of the building.

   (G)   Lighting. For security, bicycle parking shall be at least as well lit as vehicle parking.

   (H)   Reserved areas. Areas set aside for bicycle parking shall be clearly marked and reserved for bicycle parking only.

   (I)   Hazards. Bicycle parking shall not impede or create a hazard to pedestrians. Parking areas shall be located so as to not conflict with vision clearance standards.
