Residential Parking Standards:
B.11.B - Bicycle Parking Standards
Providing an adequate supply of bicycle parking at all destinations
is critical in the Plan area to encourage bicycle use and reduce auto travel for
all types of trips. Requirements are broken down into short-term and long-term
parking requirements. Short-term bicycle parking is designed for parking needs of less than three hours,
while long-term bicycle parking is designed for parking needs over three
hours.
B.11.B.01. Short-term bicycle parking shall consist of bicycle
racks to which the bicycle frame and at least one wheel can be securely locked
to the rack. Long-term parking shall be fully enclosed to protect bicycles from weather. Acceptable
examples include bicycle rooms, bike cages, attended roofed/indoor bicycle
facilities and bike lockers.
B.11.B.02 Bicycle Racks must be securely anchored to the ground and
should be located as close as practicable to the entrance of the facility served
or as bike corrals in the street. Bicycle racks shall not be more than 25 feet from a primary
building entrance.
B.11.B.03. Commercial Requirements. All new buildings or
structures, substantial remodels and changes of use to an existing building
shall provide bicycle parking per Table 5.07 (page 149).
B.11.B.04. Residential Requirements. All new buildings or
structures and substantial remodels with five or more dwelling units shall
provide bicycle parking per Table 5.07. For purposes of this section, hotel guest rooms shall be considered
dwelling units.
B.11.B.05. Mixed-Use Requirements. In instances where a building
contains components of more than one of the aforementioned categories, the requirements
will be based on the sum of the individual uses per Table 5.07.
B.11.B.06. For existing buildings, automobile parking spaces
required under established requirements in the Municipal Code may be replaced at a ratio of
one automobile parking space for every eight shortterm or five long-term bicycle
parking spaces, provided that bicycle parking replacement does not exceed 10% of
required automobile parking spaces. A combination of short- and long-term spaces
may approved by the Strategic and Transportation Planning Manager. Buildings with fewer than 10
automobile parking spaces may be allowed one space to be replaced in this
manner.
B.11.B.07. Where bicycle parking is not visible from the street,
clear and visible signage shall be provided leading to it.
B.11.B.08. Bicycle parking areas shall have adequate lighting that
provides high visibility of the rack or locker area, as determined by the
Strategic and Transportation Planning Manager  |
