“The bike parking requirements have yet to be formally approved by the Commission. The Commission’s approval may occur on 2/19/08. That said, assuming no more changes are made by the Commission, then we can expect the Commission to approve bicycle parking for new apartment and condominium projects. In addition, bike parking would be required at most new commercial projects (e.g., offices, retails stores, restaurants, manufacturing facilities). The development code only addresses private development; publicly-owned facilities are not subject to the code’s requirements and the city’s Bike/Ped Coordinator would hopefully address bike parking at those facilities. The bike parking requirements are scaled to the size of the facility based, in most cases, on the size of the facility. In some cases, another metric is used, such as the number of employees or number of cars in a parking garage (or, in the case of hospitals, the number of patient beds). Note that after the Commission approves the bike parking requirements, the City Council must still approve the requirements.”
