2 <br /> How to calculate bicycle parking requirements: <br /> A 40,000 square foot office building in downtown would not be required to provide off-street parking.However,prior to the <br /> exception for off-street parking in Parking Area A of Metro Everett(see Map 34-1),the development would have required 100 off- <br /> street parking spaces.This project would require eight(8)bicycle parking spaces. <br /> 40,000 square feet/400 sq.ft.per parking space=100 off-street parking spaces <br /> 100 off-street parking spaces/12=8.33 bicycle parking spaces(round down to 8) <br /> 2) Multifamily developments.One(1)covered bicycle parking space shall be provided for every two(2) <br /> multifamily units,with the exception of senior housing,which shall be provided at the rate of one(1) <br /> space for every four(4)units.If individual garages are provided,the number of units requiring bicycle <br /> parking may be reduced correspondingly. <br /> C. Bicycle parking space location and design <br /> 1) Bicycle facilities for patrons shall be located within 100 feet of a building entrance. It is not necessary for <br /> all on-site bicycle spaces to be grouped in one central location. <br /> 2) All bicycle parking shall be located in locations that do not impede pedestrian or vehicle traffic flow,and <br /> shall be well lit for nighttime use. <br /> 3) All bicycle parking facilities shall be securely anchored to the ground or to a structure. <br /> 34.040 Off-Street Parking Requirements,General Provisions <br /> A. Off-street parking calculations where uses not specified <br /> If the proposed use is not shown in Table 34-1,the planning director,in consultation with the city engineer,may <br /> use one of the following options to determine requirement for off-street parking: <br /> 1) Where a use is similar in nature and off-street parking demand to the proposed use,the minimum parking <br /> spaces for that similar use may be used. <br /> 2) Where there is not any use that is similar in nature,the following minimum off-street parking <br /> requirements will be used: <br /> a) Non-residential uses:1 parking space per 500 square feet of gross floor area. <br /> b) Residential uses:1 parking space per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area. <br /> B. Off-street parking calculations on sites with combination of uses <br /> The requirement for different uses on the same site,or a combination of uses within one building or tenant space, <br /> shall be the sum of all requirements for the individual uses reduced by any applicable joint or shared parking <br /> provisions.See Section 34.060(B)for reductions for mixed-use projects. <br /> C. What can be considered as off-street parking <br /> Off-street parking spaces may include spaces in garages,carports,parking lots,and/or driveways if vehicles are not <br /> parked in a vehicle travel lane or a required front setback,provided that for single family detached dwelling, <br /> duplexes and accessory dwelling units(ADUs),off-street parking is allowed in the front setback on a driveway that <br /> meets the standards of this title.Off-street parking for electric vehicles may be included in parking required by this <br /> chapter.Refer to the International Building Code for requirements on electric vehicle charging infrastructure. <br /> February 23,2018 draft 7 6 Chapter 34, Parking <br />
