Required bicycle spaces must have a minimum dimension of two (2) feet in width by six (6) feet in length, with a minimum overhead vertical clearance of seven (7) feet. A minimum five (5) feet wide aisle shall be provided behind bicycle parking facilities to allow maneuvering.

(2)

Bicycle parking facilities must provide lockable enclosed lockers or racks, or equivalent structures, in or upon which the bicycle may be locked by the user. Structures that require a user-supplied locking device must be designed to accommodate U-shaped locking devices. All lockers and racks must be securely anchored to the ground or the building structure to prevent the racks and lockers from being removed from the location.

(3)

If required bicycle parking facilities are not visible from the street, signs must be posted indicating their location.

(4)

Areas used for required bicycle parking must be paved and drained to be reasonably free of mud, dust, and standing water, and must be well-lighted.

(5)

Alternate designs for bicycle parking may be approved by the Zoning Administrator if necessary.

(b)

Location.

(1)

All required bicycle spaces must be located on the same lot as the use served. However, required bicycle spaces may be constructed in the public right-of-way, subject to approval by the Site Plan Review Committee.

(2)

Required bicycle parking for residents of dwellings must be provided in garages, storage rooms and other resident-accessible and indoor secure areas. Space within dwelling units or on balconies are not counted toward satisfying bicycle parking requirements. Visitor bicycle parking may be provided outdoors and must be accessible to non-residents.

(c)

Required Number of Bicycle Spaces.
