Exhibit C-4, Page 7 <br />Table 15.550.040(B). Computation of required off- <br />street bicycle parking spaces. <br />Category of Land Use Minimum Parking Spaces Required <br />Restaurant, taverns, or similar uses where patrons sit <br />down for service <br />1.0 per 800 square feet of gross floor <br />area <br />All other uses 1.0 per 5 required vehicle parking <br />spaces <br />2. Parking Location and Design – Nonresidential Uses. Bicycle facilities for patrons <br />shall be located within 100 feet of the building entrance and located in safe, visible areas that do <br />not impede pedestrian or vehicle traffic flow. Proper lighting of area is required per <br />Chapter 15.580 ECC. <br />3. Parking Location and Design – Residential Uses. Bicycle facilities for residents shall <br />be located within 100 feet of all building or individual unit entrances and located on the ground <br />level in safe, visible areas that do not impede pedestrian or vehicle traffic flow. Proper lighting of <br />area is required per Chapter 15.580 ECC. <br />4. Bicycle parking hardware shall be installed according to its manufacturer’s <br />instructions, allowing adequate clearance for bicycles and their riders. <br />5. Projects in the C-C zone may contribute to a bicycle parking fund (subject <br />to establishment by the city) maintained by the city in lieu of required parking set forth in Table <br />15.550.040(B). Calculation of the required fund contributions will be based on the cost to <br />purchase, install, and maintain bicycle parking and associated improvements. The cost will be <br />adjusted annually by the city. The fund will be used by the city to provide bicycle parking in the <br />C-C zone and in other locations within the city. <br /> <br />F. Primary Use. The minimum number of parking spaces shall be computed based on the <br />primary uses on the property, except as stated in subsection (G) of this section that <br />addresses accessory uses. When there are two or more separate primary uses on a property, the <br />required off-street parking for the property is the sum of the required parking for the individual <br />primary uses. <br />G. Accessory Use. When more than 20 percent of the gross floor area on a property is in <br />an accessory use, the required off-street parking shall be calculated separately for the accessory <br />use and for the primary use and then added together for the total required off-street parking. <br />When 20 percent or less of the gross floor area on a property is in an accessory use, the required <br />off-street parking shall be calculated on the gross floor area of the building as if it were all under <br />the primary use. <br />Examples: <br />1. A 40,000-square-foot building containing a 30,000-square-foot warehouse space (75 <br />percent of total) and a 10,000-square-foot accessory office space (25 percent of total). The <br />minimum parking requirement would be calculated separately for the office use and the <br />warehouse use and then added together. <br />2. The same 40,000-square-foot building containing a 35,000-square-foot warehouse <br />space (88 percent of total) and a 5,000-square-foot accessory office space (12 percent of total).
