(A) Location And Design:
1. Bicycle parking should be no farther from the main building entrance than the distance to the closest vehicle space, or fifty feet (50'), whichever is less.
2. Long term (i.e., covered) bicycle parking should be incorporated whenever possible into building design.
3. Short term bicycle parking, when allowed within a public right of way, should be coordinated with the design of street furniture, as applicable.
4. Bicycle racks shall meet the following design specifications:
a. Provide two points of contact with frame.
b. A minimum of 32" in height.
c. A minimum of 36" between racks, measured perpendicular to the bicycle parking space. In instances where a bicycle rack is installed between the traveled path of a sidewalk and the curb and there is no vehicle parking, the distance from the edge of the curb and the rack shall be a minimum of 24".
d. Allow a typical U-lock to capture one wheel and closed portion of bike frame.
e. Not unreasonably limit the size or type of bicycle used.
f. Racks shall be secured to the ground and constructed from tamper and weather resistant materials.
g. Inverted U, staple, loop, or similar style racks are preferred. Wave, grid, and wheel-well style racks should be avoided.
(B) 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.
(C) 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.
(D) Lighting: For security, bicycle parking shall be at least as well lit as vehicle parking.
(E) Reserved Areas: Areas set aside for bicycle parking shall be clearly marked and reserved for bicycle parking only.
(F) 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. (Ord. 821, 2-23-2006, eff. 3-16-2006; amd. Ord. 1009, 10-6-2022)
