(A) Applicability. When off-street parking lots are provided for new construction, bicycle parking shall be provided as established in Table 1248.04-A. Bicycle Parking Requirements.
(B) Computation. When the bicycle parking requirement established in Table 1248.04-A. Bicycle Parking Requirements is based on the number of vehicle spaces, the total number of bicycle spaces required shall be based on the total number of vehicular spaces required as established in Table 1248.02-B. Off-Street Parking Requirements, absent any parking reductions permitted in § 1248.03 (Parking Reductions).
(C) Parking exemptions. Certain uses in Table 1248.04-A allow a minimum threshold below which no parking is required (for example, personal services establishments under 7,500 square feet are not required to provide parking). Uses that have a total gross floor area above the minimum threshold may subtract the exemption from the total gross floor area to calculate the minimum parking requirement.
(D) Minimum requirement. Where bicycle parking is required, a minimum of two spaces shall be provided.
(E) Location. Bicycle parking shall be located on the same zoning lot as the use served, unless the Zoning Administrator approves its location in the public right-of-way. With Zoning Administrator approval, existing bicycle parking spaces located within the public right-of-way and directly adjacent to the lot may be counted toward the bicycle parking requirement. Bicycle parking for multi-family dwelling uses may be provided in secure common areas for residents such as garages or storage rooms.
(F) Design.
(1) Dimensions. Each bicycle parking space shall have a minimum width of two feet, minimum length of six feet, and minimum vertical clearance of seven feet.
(2) Access. An aisle with a minimum width of five feet shall be provided behind bicycle parking facilities to ensure adequate maneuvering space.
(3) Racks and structures. Secure racks and supporting structures shall be provided for each unprotected bicycle parking space, and shall be designed to accommodate both chain and U-shaped locking devices.
(4) Parking areas. Areas used for bicycle parking shall be designed and maintained to be reasonably free from standing water, mud, and dust, and shall be well-lit.
(5) Signage. If bicycle parking required for nonresidential uses is not visible from the street, signage shall be posted to indicate the location of such parking.
