(§ 1, Ord. 702, eff. December 24, 1993)
(a) Non-residential
development serving 50 employees or more shall provide, to the satisfaction
of the City, a bulletin board, display case, or kiosk displaying transportation
information located where the greatest number of employees are likely
to see it. Information in the area shall include, but is not limited
to, the following:
(1) Current maps, routes and schedules for public transit routes serving
the site;
(2) Ridesharing promotional material supplied by commuter-oriented organizations;
(3) Telephone numbers for referrals on transportation information including
numbers for the regional ridesharing agency, Dial-A-Route, and local
transit operators;
(4) Bicycle route and facility information, including regional/local
bicycle maps and bicycle safety information:
(5) A listing of facilities and services available for carpoolers, vanpoolers,
bicyclists, transit riders and pedestrians at the site.
(b) Non-residential development serving 100 employees or more shall comply with subsection
(a) of this section and shall provide all of the following measures to the satisfaction of the City:
(1) Not less than 10% of employee parking area shall be located as close
as is practical to the employee entrance(s), and shall be reserved
for use by potential carpool/vanpool vehicles, without displacing
handicapped and customer parking needs. This preferential carpool/vanpool
parking area shall be identified on the site plan upon application
for building permit, to the satisfaction of City. A statement that
preferential carpool/vanpool spaces for employees are available and
a description of the method for obtaining such spaces must be included
on the required transportation information board. Spaces will be signed/striped
as demand warrants; provided, that at all times at least one space
for projects of 50,000 square feet to 100,000 square feet and two
spaces for projects over 100,000 square feet will be signed/striped
for carpool/vanpool vehicles.
(2) Preferential parking spaces reserved for vanpools must be accessible
to vanpool vehicles. When located within a parking structure, a minimum
vertical interior clearance of seven feet two inches shall be provided
for those spaces and access ways to be used by such vehicles. Adequate
turning radii and parking space dimensions (minimum nine feet by 19
feet) shall also be included in vanpool parking areas.
(3) Bicycle racks or other secure bicycle parking shall be provided near
building entrances to accommodate four bicycles per the first 50,000
square feet of non-residential development and one bicycle per each
additional 50,000 square feet of non-residential development. Calculations
which result in a fraction of 0.5 or higher shall be rounded up to
the nearest whole number. A bicycle parking facility may also be a
fully enclosed space or locker accessible only to the owner or operator
of the bicycle, which protects the bike from inclement weather. Specific
facilities and location (e.g., provision of racks, lockers, or locked
room) shall be to the satisfaction of the City.
(4) Safe and convenient access from the external circulation system to
bicycle parking facilities onsite.
(c) Non-residential development serving 150 employees or more shall comply with subsections
(a) and (b)of this section, and shall provide all of the following measures to the satisfaction of the City:
(1) A safe and convenient zone in which vanpool and carpool vehicles
may deliver or board their passengers. Passenger loading areas should
be located as close as possible to the building entrance and should
be designated in a manner that does not impede vehicular circulation
in the parking area.
(2) Sidewalks or other designated pathways following, to the greatest
extent feasible, direct and safe routes from the external pedestrian
circulation system to each, and between each, building in the development.
(3) If determined necessary by the City to mitigate the project impact,
bus stop improvements must be provided. The City will consult with
the local bus service providers in determining appropriate improvements
(i.e., bus pullouts, bus pads, shelters, etc.). When locating bus
stops and/or planning building entrances, entrances should be designed
to provide safe and efficient access to nearby transit stations/stops.
(4) Development design shall incorporate, to the extent feasible, showers,
changing rooms, lockers, etc. for employees who bicycle, job or walk
to work.
(5) Development design shall incorporate lunchrooms, cafeterias, eating
establishments and other facilities which will reduce the need for
mid-day driving.

provided. The City will consult with the local bus service providers
in determining appropriate improvements.
(b) Residential development of 500 dwellings units or more shall comply with subsection
(a) of this section, and shall provide, to the satisfaction of the City, a development design which, to the greatest extent possible and as appropriate based on adjacent land use and markets, incorporates services such as dry cleaners, eating establishments, child care facilities, grocery markets, neighborhood work centers and other facilities, which development design will reduce home-based vehicle trips and vehicle miles traveled.
