B. Exemptions. Section 17.20.040 does not apply to single-family and two-family housing (attached, detached, or manufactured housing) or home occupations.
C. Location and Design. Bicycle parking should be no farther from the main building entrance than the distance to the closest vehicle space, or 50 feet, whichever is less. Long-term (i.e., sheltered) bicycle parking should be incorporated whenever possible into building design. Short-term bicycle parking, when allowed within a public right-of-way, should be coordinated with the design of street furniture, as applicable. Racks shall allow frames and wheels to be locked. Shared facilities will be allowed.
D. 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.
E. 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, including beneath roof overhangs and awnings.
F. Lighting. For security, bicycle parking shall be at least as well lit as vehicle parking.
G. Reserved Areas. Areas set aside for bicycle parking shall be clearly marked and reserved for bicycle parking only.
H. 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 areas (see Diagram “A” – 17.04.090).
