Rules for providing bicycle parking in certain zones

(a) Parking for bicycles is required in the apartment, apartment mixed use, business, business mixed use, and resort districts, and in all precincts of the Waikiki special district. (b) Number of bicycle parking spaces required. Short-term and long-term bicycle parking spaces must be provided as set forth in Table 21-6.3 ; provided that no bicycle parking spaces are required for single-unit, two-unit, and duplex-unit dwellings. Short-term and long-term bicycle parking spaces must be provided whenever new floor area, new dwelling units, or a new commercial parking lot or structure is proposed. When computation of the total required bicycle parking spaces for a zoning lot results in a number with a fraction of 0.5 or greater, the number of required bicycle parking spaces will be the next highest whole number. Table 21-6.3 Bicycle Parking Spaces Required Use or Use Category Short-Term Bicycle Parking Long-Term Bicycle Parking Commercial 1 space per 2,000 square feet of floor area or portion thereof, or 1 space for every 10 vehicle spaces or portion thereof, whichever is greater. 1 space per 12,000 square feet of floor area, or 1 space per 30 vehicle spaces, or portion thereof, whichever is greater.

Hotel 1 space for every 20 dwelling or lodging units. 1 space for every 10 dwelling or lodging units. (c) Anchoring and security. For each bicycle parking space required, a bicycle rack must be provided, to which a bicycle frame and one wheel may be secured with a high-security U-shaped lock. If a bicycle may be locked to each side of the rack without conflict, each side may be counted toward a required space. (d) Size and accessibility. (1) Each bicycle parking space must be a minimum of 2 feet in width, 6 feet in length, and must be accessible without moving another bicycle. Vertical or stacked spaces that meet the dimension, security, and accessibility requirements above are permitted, and the depth and height of these spaces must be a minimum of 4 feet. All types of bicycle parking spaces must be clear of walls, poles, landscaping (other than ground cover), street furniture, drive aisles, pedestrian ways, and vehicle parking spaces for at least 5 feet from the edge of the bicycle parking space on the side that the bicyclist accesses the bicycle parking area. (2) Short-term bicycle parking spaces must be located as close as practicable to the entrances of the principal uses on a lot so they are highly visible and easily identifiable. Section 21-4.110 (e), relating to nonconforming parking and loading, does not apply to short-term bicycle parking spaces. (3) Bicycle parking spaces, including those with fixed racks for parking and locking, are allowed within front yards pursuant to § 21-4.30 (a)(7). (4) Long-term bicycle parking must be provided in the form of enclosed bicycle lockers or easily accessible, secure, and covered bicycle storage. Section 21-4.110 (e), relating to nonconforming parking and loading, does not apply to long-term bicycle parking spaces. (5) Bicycle parking spaces within enclosed parking structures must be located as close as practicable to an entrance of the parking structure so they are visible from the street or sidewalk. Where the bicycle parking spaces are not visible from the front entrance, signage indicating the location of the bicycle parking spaces is required. (6) To accommodate technological advances, at the request of an applicant, size, accessibility, and other requirements may be modified at the discretion of the director. (e) Excluding zoning lots in the preservation, agricultural, country, and residential zoning districts, short-term and long-term bicycle parking spaces will not be required for additional floor area up to 15,000 square feet per zoning lot; provided that application of this subsection may only be used once on the same zoning lot.
