A. 
Bicycle parking is required in most land use districts and categories to encourage the use of bicycles by providing safe and convenient places to park. The required number of spaces is lower for uses that do not tend to attract bicycle riders and higher for those that do. Safe and accessible bicycle parking is intended to specifically encourage employee, student, and customer related bicycle use.
B. 
The main purpose of these design standards is to ensure that bicycle parking is visible from the street, located conveniently for cyclists, and designed to provide sufficient security from theft and damage.
A. 
The required minimum number of bicycle parking spaces for each principal use is given in Article 7.060: Minimum and Maximum Off-Street Parking Requirements. Additional parking spaces may be required at common use areas.
B. 
All development shall meet the minimum requirements for bicycle parking and design per the provisions of this Chapter.
A. 
Location.
1. 
Outdoor bicycle parking must be located within 50 feet of the primary building entrance(s).
2. 
Bicycle parking may be located inside a building on a floor location which does not require stairs to access the space. Exceptions may be made for parking on upper stories within a multi-story residential building.
3. 
Bicycle parking racks shall be located to avoid conflict with pedestrian movement and access walkways required by this Title and the State of Oregon Structural Specialty Code.
4. 
Subject to the approval of the City Engineer, bicycle parking may be located in the public right-of-way when the parking does not conflict with pedestrian accessibility.
B. 
Visibility. Outdoor bicycle parking shall be visible from on-site buildings and/or the street. When the bicycle parking area is not visible from the street, directional signs shall be used to locate bicycle parking areas. Directional signs shall be approved by the Director.
C. 
Lighting. Required bicycle parking must have a minimum lighting level of 3 foot candles.
D. 
Walkway. A pedestrian accessible walk must be provided between bicycle parking and the building entrance. The walk must be constructed of hard surfaced materials with a minimum width of 4 feet.
E. 
Amenities. Bicycle parking areas are encouraged to include a bench.
Bicycle parking facilities shall offer security in the form of either a lockable enclosure in which the bicycle can be stored or a stationary object (i.e., a "rack") upon which the bicycle can be locked. A list of standard bicycle racks, shelters and lockers is available from the Director. The list does not preclude other designs the Director may approve. Racks provided in required bicycle parking facilities shall ensure that bicycles may be securely locked to them without undue inconvenience in accordance with the following:
A. 
Security.
1. 
Bicycle racks must hold bicycles securely by means of the frame. The frame must be supported so that the bicycle cannot be pushed or fall to one side in a manner that will damage the wheels.
2. 
Bicycle parking racks, shelters, and lockers must be securely anchored to the ground or to the structure.
B. 
Accessibility. Each required bicycle parking space must be accessible without moving another bicycle.
C. 
Parking Space Dimensions. Bicycle parking spaces shall be at least 2 ½ feet wide by 6 feet long and, when covered, provide a vertical clearance of 7 feet. An access aisle of at least 5 feet wide shall be provided and maintained beside or between each row of bicycle parking.
D. 
Space Rental and Leasing. Bicycle parking spaces required by this Chapter may not be rented or leased except where required motor vehicle parking is rented or leased. At cost or deposit fees for bicycle parking are exempt from this requirement.
E. 
Reserved Areas. Areas set aside for required bicycle parking must be clearly marked (signed) for bicycle parking only.
The following uses are exempted from bicycle parking requirements:
A. 
Temporary uses (special events, seasonal uses).
