§ 20.90.190. Bicycle parking space design standards.

A.

For the purpose of this section, "bicycle parking facilities" shall refer to long-term and short-term bicycle parking facilities as defined in Section 20.90.050.

1.

All bicycle parking spaces provided shall be on a hard and stable surface.

2.

All bicycle parking facilities shall be securely anchored to the surface so they cannot be easily removed and shall be of sufficient strength to resist vandalism and theft.

3.

All bicycle parking facilities shall support bicycles by at least two contact points on the bicycle to prevent the bicycle from falling over and to prevent damage to wheels, frame, or other components.

4.

All bicycle parking facilities within vehicle parking areas shall be separated by a curb or other physical barrier to protect bicycles from damage by automobiles and other moving vehicles.

5.

Short-term bicycle parking facilities are subject to and shall meet all the following requirements:

a.

The facilities shall be located at least three feet away from any wall, fence, or other structure.

b.

When multiple short-term bicycle parking facilities are installed together in sequence, they shall be installed at least three feet apart and located in a configuration that provides space for parked bicycles to be aligned parallel to each other.

c.

The facilities shall be installed in a clear space at least two feet in width by six feet in length to allow sufficient space between parked bicycles.

d.

Permanently anchored bicycle racks shall be installed to allow the frame and one or both wheels of the bicycle to be securely locked to the rack.
