19.64.100 Bicycle parking requirements.
A. Minimum Required.
1. The minimum number of short-term and long-term bicycle parking spaces required is in Table 19.64.100. For the purposes of this section, the Director must determine what use applies to the development.
2. If the formula for determining the number of bicycle parking spaces results in a fraction, the number of off-street parking spaces must be rounded to the nearest whole number with fractions of one-half or greater rounding up and fractions below one-half rounding down. If the formula results in a number less than one, then at least one bicycle parking space is required.
3. In the case of two or more uses on the same site, the total requirements for bicycle parking must be the sum of the requirements for each use computed separately.
