33.266.200<\/p>\n
Bicycle parking is required for most use categories to encourage the use of bicycles by providing safe and convenient places to park bicycles. These regulations ensure adequate short and long-term bicycle parking based on the demand generated by the different use categories and on the level of security necessary to encourage the use of bicycles for short and long stays. These regulations will help meet the City’s goal that 10 percent of all trips be made by bicycle. 33.266.210 Required Bicycle Parking<\/p>\n
A. Number of spaces required.
1. The required minimum number of bicycle parking spaces for each use category is shown on Table 266-6. No bicycle parking is required for uses not listed.
2. The required minimum number of bicycle parking spaces is based on the primary uses on a site. There are no bicycle parking requirements for accessory uses. However, if the required number of spaces for the primary uses is based on net building area, the net building area of accessory uses is included with the primary uses in the calculation. For example, a
Manufacturing and Production use of 45,000 square feet with 15,000 square feet of accessory Office use would have a bicycle parking requirement of 4 spaces, based on 60,000 square feet of net building area. If the primary use is
not listed in Table 266-6, no bicycle parking is required for the accessory use.
3. When there are two or more separate primary uses on a site, the required bicycle parking for the site is the sum of the required parking for the individual primary uses.<\/p>\n
B. Exemptions.
1. No long-term bicycle parking is required on a site where there is less than 2,500 square feet of gross building area.
2. No bicycle parking is required for a Commercial Parking facility on a surface parking lot in the Central City plan district.<\/p>\n

2. Standards. Required long-term bicycle parking must meet the following
standards:
a. Long-term bicycle parking must be provided in racks or lockers that meet the standards of Subsection 33.266.220.C;
