Provide
Bicycle Storage
Santa Monica's
Municipal Code requires short-and long-term bicycle parking for building
visitors and occupants. The amount and type is regulated by Section
9.04.10.08.050. All new non-residential buildings or structures shall
provide off-street bicycle parking as follows:
- A minimum of
four bicycle parking spaces on-site;
- New buildings
or structures over 15,000 sq.ft. shall provide bicycle parking at
a rate of 5% of the automobile parking required by Section 9.04.10.08.040;
- In new buildings
or structures over 50,000 sq.ft., 50% of the required bicycle parking
shall be provided for long-term bicycle commuters. Long-term bicycle
parking shall consist of either a “locker” with a fully
enclosed lockable space accessible only to the owner/operator of
the bicycle; attendant parking with a check-in system in which bicycles
are accessible only to the attendant( s); or a locked room or office
inside the building designated for the sole purpose of securing
bicycles;
- All required
outdoor bicycle parking shall be no further than one-half the distance
from the furthest off-street auto parking space from a main entrance
of the building being developed. Visitor bicycle parking requires
public, visible and well-lit lock-up facilities near the building
entrance, separate from automobile parking. If not immediately visible,
conspicuous signage must be provided to show its location.
The entry door
to long-term occupants’ bicycle storage should be within sight
of building or parking security, elevators or a main building entrance.
Access should not require stairs.
- Storage rooms
should have solid opaque walls with the entire interior space visible
from the entrance, and be fitted with motion-activated, tamper-proof
security lighting.
- Storage rooms
should provide at least 6 ft. headroom. Bicycle stalls should be
at least 6 ft. long for horizontal bicycle parking, 3 ft. if placed
vertically.
- Bicycle racks
should have two points of contact, to allow convenient locking for
a variety of sizes and styles.
- Floors should
have durable, easily maintained slip-free surfaces that can withstand
wet or muddy tires.
Cautions
- Access, attractiveness
and functionality of storage facilities are critical for their acceptance
and use.
