If a use is not listed in table 10-8-5-1, "Bicycle Parking Requirements", of this section then bicycle parking is not required for that use.

   B.   Minimum Requirement: Where bicycle parking is required, a minimum of two (2) spaces shall be provided.

   C.   Computation: Bicycle parking requirements for residential uses shall be based on the total number of dwelling units in the development.

   D.   Bicycle Parking Design: Bicycle parking spaces shall be designed in accordance with the following requirements:

      1.   Dimensions: Each bicycle parking space shall have a minimum width of two feet (2'), minimum length of six feet (6'), and minimum vertical clearance of seven feet (7'), see figure 10-8-5-1, "Bicycle Parking Design", of this subsection.

      2.   Safe Access: Bicycle parking spaces shall be protected from motor vehicle traffic and located to permit safe access to and from the use served. A sidewalk, shared path, or other means of access, with a minimum width of five feet (5'), shall be provided adjacent to bicycle parking facilities to ensure adequate maneuvering space.

      3.   Racks And Structures: Secure racks and supporting structures shall be provided for each bicycle parking space, and shall be designed to accommodate both chain and U-shaped locks. Bicycle parking spaces shall permit the bicycle frame and one wheel to be locked to the rack and supporting structure. A locked bicycle shall be supported in a stable position without damage to the wheels, frame, or components.

      4.   Visibility And Maintenance: Areas used for bicycle parking shall be designed and maintained to be well-lit and reasonably free from standing water, mud, and dust.

   E.   Short-Term Bicycle Parking: The following standards apply to required short-term bicycle parking spaces, as established in table 10-8-5-1, "Bicycle Parking Requirements", of this section.

      1.   Location: Short-term bicycle parking shall be located in a highly visible, publicly-accessible location within fifty feet (50') of the principal entrance to a building containing the use it serves. For buildings or uses requiring more than eight (8) short-term bicycle parking spaces, parking spaces in excess of these eight (8) spaces may be located more than fifty feet (50') from the principal building entrance.

      2.   Spaces Within The Right-Of-Way: With the permission of the Village Engineer, the property owner may install the required short-term bicycle parking spaces within the public right-of-way.

      3.   Credit For Existing Public Parking Facilities: With the permission of the Village Engineer, the property owner may receive credit for existing public bicycle parking spaces located in the right-of-way, or on Village property, to comply with the required short-term bicycle parking.

      4.   Fee-In-Lieu: A fee-in-lieu of providing short-term bicycle parking spaces may be permitted with written approval of the Zoning Administrator. The fee required shall be based upon a uniform fee per short-term bicycle space established annually by the Village Board. Such payment shall be placed into a fund to be used by the Village for the acquisition, construction, and maintenance of short-term bicycle parking located in the public right-of-way, or on Village owned property within the same zoning district as the subject use or within adjacent zoning districts of reasonable proximity to serve the subject use. The property granted the reduction in the number of required short-term bicycle parking spaces shall be credited permanently by ordinance with the number of spaces for which payment was received by the Village.

   F.   Long-Term Bicycle Parking: The following standards apply to required long-term bicycle parking spaces, as established in table 10-8-5-1, "Bicycle Parking Requirements", of this section.

      1.   Location: Long-term bicycle parking shall be located within an enclosed, limited-access area designed to protect bicycles from inclement weather, unauthorized use, and theft, and shall adhere to the following:

         a.   Long-term bicycle parking shall be provided within the building containing the use that it is intended to serve, or within a structure that has a principal entrance two hundred feet (200') or less from the principal entrance to such building.

         b.   Long-term bicycle parking serving multiple uses or buildings may be combined into a single area, enclosure, or facility.

         c.   Where long-term bicycle parking is located adjacent to vehicular parking or loading facilities, a physical barrier shall be provided to prevent damage to bicycles by motor vehicles.

      2.   Facilities: Long-term bicycle parking spaces may be provided within the following types of facilities:

         a.   Enclosed spaces within a building, such as bicycle rooms or garages.
