2. Design: Required short-term bicycle parking spaces must:
a. Consist of bike racks or lockers that are anchored so that they cannot be easily removed;
b. Be of solid construction, resistant to rust, corrosion, hammers, and saws;
c. Allow both the bicycle frame and the wheels to be locked with the bicycle in an upright position using a standard U-lock;
d. Be designed so as not to cause damage to the bicycle;
e. Facilitate easy locking without interference from or to adjacent bicycles; and
f. Have minimum dimensions of two feet (2') in width by six feet (6') in length, with a minimum overhead vertical clearance of seven feet (7').
D. Special Exceptions:
