AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
June 20, 2016
To: Eugene Planning Commission
From: Reed Dunbar, City of Eugene Public Works Engineering
Subject: Updates to Bicycle Parking Code Requirements (EC 9.6105)
ACTION REQUESTED
The Planning Commission will provide input on proposed code changes. No formal action is
requested at this time. In coming months, the Planning Commission will hold a hearing on the code
changes once a draft has been accepted and will make a recommendation on the code amendments
to City Council.
BRIEFING STATEMENT
Since 2012, there have been two planning documents prepared that included recommendations to
update City of Eugene bicycle parking requirements (EC 9.6015). These include the Bicycle and
Pedestrian Master Plan (2012) and the Regional Bicycle Parking Study (2013). The intent of the land
use code update is to simplify and update the bicycle parking requirements and to ensure
consistency in application of the code.
The variety of bicycle parking racks and types of bikes that people use has evolved over the past few
years. Accordingly, changes to best practices and advances in rack element design suggest changes
to the land use code may be necessary.
PURPOSE OF CODE UPDATE
The demand for secure bicycle parking is increasing as the variety of bikes and the people who use
them continues to grow. On my last visit, we discussed the rationale for code updates as follows.
a. Observing best management practices;
b. Fixing holes in the current code like adding a requirement for short-term parking in
multifamily developments;
c. Increasing security and perception of safety;
d. Responding to changes in bicycle types, especially bigger bicycles for families and cargo;
e. Promoting bicycle parking in configurations that more efficiently utilize space;
f. Adjusting proximity requirements for bicycle parking based on observed disuse in large
developments.
CHANGES IN DRAFT CODE UPDATE
1. Definitions have been updated to reflect best practice. Changes include:
a. Defining ground mounted bicycle parking as different from stacked or vertical bicycle
parking;
b. Explaining the difference of standard bicycles and non-standard;
c. Defining dimensional characteristics of the bicycle parking space [including updates to
Table 9.611(2)].
2. The draft code introduces a threshold for redevelopments to comply with new bicycle
parking standards based on improvements made to the property. Compliance with current
PC Agenda - Page 1
standards will be required if building alterations exceed 50% of the market value of the
existing building.
3. To address imbalances in the uniform provision of bicycle parking in campus settings, long-
term bicycle parking will be required to be located within 200 feet of a main or employee
entrance. This is meant to encourage diffuse provision of bicycle parking on the
development site. Provision of electrical outlets will also be required in long-term bicycle
parking locations.
4. To increase the availability of leasable space, long-term bicycle parking will be allowed to be
hung vertically or stacked to reduce the overall footprint required to accommodate the
same quantity of bicycle parking spaces. All long-term bicycle parking spaces must also
enable visual inspection of the space before entering or accessing the space. This is a result
of community discussions that revealed apprehension on the part of some people to enter
confined, secure spaces alone. The provision of cipher or electronic locks is also required
based on interviews with property managers.
5. The provision of shelters for short-term bicycle parking was reduced. Current code requires
100% of spaces to be sheltered if there are 6 to 10 spaces. The proposed draft requires 50%
of spaces to be sheltered if there are 11 spaces or more.
6. Management of bicycle parking in the urban core has proven problematic. Competition for
limited sidewalk space often creates conflicts with street furniture, café tables, and bicycle
parking. The proposed code seeks to manage downtown as a system so that entire blocks
can be evaluated when placing bicycle racks, rather than individual storefronts. A fee in lieu
of parking would seed the bicycle parking fund.
7. Similarly, the provision of bicycle parking on the University of Oregon campus will be
deferred to campus planning based on the adopted University of Oregon’s Bicycle
Management Program. However, land use applications submitted to the city may still
trigger city review of bicycle parking requirements.
8. Images will be provided to demonstrate some requirements. These figure have not been
finalized but will be included in subsequent drafts.
NEXT STEPS
There have been two meetings with the Citizen Advisory Committee and a staff committee has been
informed of the code review. Staff has reached out to the local development community for
comments on the draft code and plans to follow up with interested parties.

DRAFT
Bicycle Parking Code Amendments
Proposed additions shown in bold italic and deletions in strikethrough
9.6100 Purpose of Bicycle Parking Standards. Sections 9.6100 through 9.6110 9.6140
set forth requirements for off-street bicycle parking areas based on the use and
location of the property. Bicycle parking standards are intended to provide safe,
convenient, and attractive areas for the circulation and parking of bicycles that
encourage the use of alternative modes of transportation. Long-term bicycle
parking space requirements are intended to accommodate employees, students,
residents, commuters, and other persons who expect to leave their bicycle parked
for more than 2 hours. Short term bicycle parking spaces accommodate visitors,
customers, messengers, and other persons expected to depart within approximately
2 hours.
9.6105 Bicycle Parking Standards Definitions. For the purposes of the bicycle
parking standards at 9.6100 through 9.6140, the following definitions apply:
(1) Access aisle is the walkway area used to access a bicycle parking
space.
(2) Clear distance is the distance between the bicycle rack and the closest
structure or obstruction.
(3) Depth is the front-to-back distance of the parking space measured
longitudinally.
(4) Ground clearance is the vertical distance between the ground and any
part of a standard-sized bicycle.
(5) Ground mounted bicycle parking is provided in racks mounted to a
ground surface or the floor of a structure to allow for horizontal bicycle
storage. Ground and floor are used interchangeably and have the same
meaning.
(6) Non-standard bicycles types are those that do not have the same
general dimensions as standard bicycles and require alternative
parking facilities, such as tandems, recumbents, adaptive bikes, cargo
bikes, trail-a-bikes, and bikes with trailers.
(7) Stacked bicycle parking provides bicycles parking spaces in two tiers,
one on top of the other.
(8) Vertical bicycle parking provides bicycles parking spaces hung above
the floor.
(9) Vertical clearance is the vertical distance between the ground and any
obstruction above it.
(10) Width is the side-to-side distance of the parking space measured
latitudinally.
9.6110 Applicability of Exemptions from Bicycle Parking Standards. The following are
exempt from the bicycle parking standards of this section: The bicycle parking
standards at 9.6100 through 9.6140 apply to all new buildings, building
additions, building alterations and changes of use, except:
(1) (a) Site improvements that do not include bicycle parking improvements.
(2)(b) Building alterations for which costs do not exceed 50 percent of the
market value of the existing building.
(c) Drive-through only establishments.

Twenty-five percent (25%) of those spaces shall be sheltered from
precipitation. The permanent bicycle parking spaces shall be
provided in a well-lighted, secure location within a convenient
distance of a primary employee entrance to either Autzen
Stadium, the Casanova Center, or the Moshofsky Center. A
secure location is defined as one in which the bicycle parking is
clearly visible from employee work areas, or in which the bicycle
parking is provided within a lockable room, a lockable bicycle
enclosure, or a bicycle locker. Bicycle parking provided in outdoor
locations shall not be farther than the closest employee auto
parking space (except disabled parking).
2. Secured temporary bicycle parking that will accommodate a
minimum of 550 temporary bicycle parking spaces is required for
each major event occurring within Autzen Stadium to
accommodate major stadium event patrons. Temporary bicycle
parking shall be provided in temporary attended areas as
described in the approved Autzen Stadium transportation demand
management plan.
(b) If the above referenced intergovernmental agreement is not in effect,
the Autzen Stadium Complex shall be required to provide 1 bicycle
space per each 16 seats, with 20% percent of the spaces provided
being long term parking spaces and 80% percent being short term
parking spaces.

in effect, bicycle parking on the University of Oregon main campus
shall comply with the University of Oregon’s Bicycle Management
Program standards to manage campus wide bicycle parking, in lieu of
compliance with EC 9.6100 through 9.6130 except for in the following
situations:
(a) If the Eugene Code is amended in the future in any manner that
would alter bicycle parking requirements for universities and
colleges that is not already being met by the University of Oregon
Bicycle Management Program; or
(b) If any University of Oregon project is required to obtain approval
through a land use application process for a site review,
conditional use permit, or Willamette greenway permit, the City
may make a different determination regarding bicycle parking
requirements as part of that land use application process.
