Public Hearing and Ordinance Amending the Oakland Municipal Code to:
(1) Add Chapter 17.117 "Bicycle Parking Regulations" to the Planning Code, Which
Will Create Bicycle Parking Requirements for Certain Types of Development
and Making Related Amendments to Other Provisions of the Planning Code; and
(2) Amend Chapter 9.52 of the Oakland Municipal Code, "Special Event Permits,"
to Require Valet Bicycle Parking at Large Public Events.

SUMMARY
The City's Community & Economic Development Agency is proposing amendments to the
Plaiming Code to incorporate standards and requirements for bicycle parking in certain types of
development. Adoption of a bicycle parking ordinance is a priority recommendation in the
recently-approved Bicycle Master Plan (December 2007), as well as the prior bicycle plan
approved in 1999. A bicycle parking ordinance would result in the provision of end-of-trip
facilities integral to making bicycling a viable form of transportation. The proposed bicycle
parking regulations address bicycle racks, lockers, cages and showers, and how these facilities
would be included in future development.
Overall, there was general agreement expressed at the April 16, 2008 Zoning Update Committee
meeting of the Planning Commission regarding the proposed bicycle parking regulations. The
Planning Commission recommended approval of the regulations at its May 7, 2008 meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the ordinance would have minimal fiscal impact. Execution of the regulations could
be accomplished within existing staffing capacity. The regulations could add to the cost of
future projects or major remodels of city facilities.
BACKGROUND
In December 2007, the Oakland City Council approved the first revision to Oakland's Bicycle
Master Plan (BMP) since 1999. The BMP, part of Oakland's General Plan, encourages safety and
accessibility for bicyclists throughout the City. Policy 1D of the updated BMP advises the City to
promote secure and convenient bicycle parking and Action 1 D.6 calls for adoption of a bicycle
parking ordinance. Furthermore, during the April and October 2007 public hearings for the

environmental review and adoption of the BMP, members of the public and Planning
Commissioners urged staff to prioritize the drafting of a bicycle parking ordinance.
Exhibit A to the ordinance contains a proposed new chapter in the Planning Code that would
incorporate bicycle parking regulations: Chapter 17.117 Bicycle Parking Requirements.
Exhibit A to the ordinance also contains amendments that would need to be made to the
Planning Code to reference the new chapter. Exhibit B to the ordinance amends OMC Chapter
9.52 "Special Event Permits," to require valet bicycle parking at large public events.Community Outreach
The Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee reviewed the proposed bicycle parking
regulations at their monthly meeting on February 21, 2008. A community meeting to discuss the
regulations was then held in conjunction with a regular Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory
Committee meeting on March 20, 2008. The proposed ordinance and the community meeting
were publicized through a mailing to approximately 750 addresses, including developers,
community groups, and interested residents. Information on the bicycle parking regulations
documents and adoption process are being updated on the Transportation Services Division's
website: www.oaklandpw.com/Pagel 27.aspx#ordinance. The Zoning Update Committee of the
Planning Commission considered the item at its April 16, 2008 meeting.
Planning Commission Recommendations
The full Planning Commission recommended ordinance adoption at its meeting of May 7, 2008
with the following amendments and clarifications to the proposal that will be considered by the
Community and Economic Development Committee of the City Council on May 27, 2008:
(1) Amend proposed Chapter 17.117.100.1.a to increase the number of long-term parking spaces
required in public, parochial and private nursery schools, kindergartens, and elementary schools
to 1 space for each 10 employees plus 1 space for each 20 students of planned capacity.

Furthermore, the Planning Commission urged the City Council to consider:

Improving bicycle parking in city-owned facilities to meet the requirements included in the
proposed regulations.
Engaging with public agencies outside of the City of Oakland's jurisdiction to encourage
them to implement the bicycle parking regulations.
KEY ISSUES AND IMPACTS
The proposed bicycle parking regulations would have the following results:
Ensure the provision of end-of-trip facilities integral to making bicycling a viable form of
transportation; and
Ensure that those bicycle parking facilities are safe, secure and accessible.
POLICY DESCRIPTION
The draft bicycle parking regulations are based on a revision of the bicycle parking
recommendations included in thel999 BMP with guidance provided by a comparison of bicycle
parking requirements in eleven other cities and the Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System. Attachment A summarizes the proposed
requirements, the 1999 recommendations and requirements in other cities.

Of the comparison cities, Sacramento, Portland, Seattle and Denver are similar to Oakland in
population, land area, population density or bicycle mode share. San Francisco, Berkeley,
Alameda, San Leandro and San Jose are nearby cities with bicycle parking requirements.
Vancouver and Ottawa are cities that are in some ways comparable to Oakland and have notable
requirements.
Notable requirements from other cities include:
Bicycle parking requirements for new development.
Bicycle parking requirements for building renovations.
Require existing parking garages to provide bicycle parking.
Require locker and shower facilities for large office development.
Require bicycle parking for large public events.
Based on assumptions about square footage and occupancy, the proposed bicycle parking
regulations are comparable to the LEED requirements for number of bicycle parking spaces.
However, LEED requires a far greater number of showers and lockers than what is required by
other cities. The proposed shower and locker requirements in Oakland align more closely with
what is proposed in other cities than what is recommended by LEED.
The recommendations included in the 1999 BMP were never adopted or incorporated into the
Planning Code. However, the recommendations have been used on a case-by-case basis to
develop conditions of approval for various projects. Recent projects that have included bicycle
parking as conditions of approval include a 142-unit mixed-use project on 2935 Telegraph
Avenue, an 80-unit residential project at 2647 International Boulevard and a 74-unit mixed-use
project at 460 Grand Avenue. In general, the proposed bicycle parking requirements require
fewer spaces than were required by the recommendations contained in the 1999 Bicycle Master
Plan. The bicycle parking requirements were reduced in order to fall in line with what other
cities provide and what is required by LEED.
Types of Bicycle Parking
The draft parking regulations describes two types of bicycle parking: long and short-term. Shortterm bicycle parking serves bicyclists who need to park their bicycles for less than two hours.
Long-term bicycle parking, such as a bicycle locker or a bicycle cage, serves bicychsts who need
to park their bicycles for longer periods. Short-term bicycle parking, such as a bicycle rack on
the sidewalk, provides convenient access, while long-term bicycle parking, such as a bicycle
locker or bicycle cage, provides greater security and protection from the elements. Long-term
parking is generally more expensive and requires more space, but is particularly beneficial in
office and residential projects where employees and residents are expected to park their bicycles
for long periods of time. The draft regulations generally require a combination of short-term and
long-term parking, rather than a simple total number of bicycle parking spaces. This distinction
better meets the needs of a variety of bicyclists and allows for requirements that are specifically
tailored to the various land use categories.

CitvRacks Bicycle Parking Program

The proposed bicycle parking regulations would complement and supplement the City's existing
CityRacks Bicycle Parking Program. The CityRacks Program, funded through grants, installs
bicycle racks by request in the public right-of-way. However, the Program alone is not able to
meet all the needs for bicycle parking. The demand for bicycle parking exceeds the supply
available through the CityRacks program. The proposed regulations would create new bicycle
parking spaces that would help bridge that gap. The CityRacks Program is also limited by the
spatial constraints in the public right-of-way that may not permit the installation of bicycle racks.
The proposed regulations would allow for the creation of more short-term parking spaces,
because even if no space is available in the public right-of-way, new development could locate
short-term bicycle parking on-site. CityRacks is rarely able to provide long-term parking,
because of the same space constraints in the public right-of-way that affect the provision of
short-term parking. One of the most significant contributions of the proposed bicycle parking
regulations will be the provision of secure, long-term parking in new developments.
After adoption of an ordinance requiring bicycle parking, CityRacks would remain an essential
program. CityRacks would continue to provide short-term bicycle parking for existing
development, since the requirements of a bicycle parking ordinance would only apply to new
development or major remodels.
Each of the comparison cities that was studied has a different method of establishing bicycle
parking requirements. Denver, for example, requires all nonresidential uses to have the same
proportion of bicycle parking. Portland and San Jose have different requirements according to
land use, so that churches, offices, schools and retail sales may have different requirements. The
draft bicycle parking regulations use this approach, because although it is more complex, it is
more sensitive to the anticipated demand for each use.
Traditional trip generation methods, such as the 4-Step Travel Model, were not used to estimate
demand because these methods are automobile-based, are regional in scope and typically based
on observations from a small number of suburban sites. Similarly, the bicycle parking
requirements are not linked to automobile parking requirements because these are unrelated
modes of transportation and automobile parking would be a poor indicator of bicycle parking
demand, since demand for bicycle parking would be expected to increase as automobile parking
requirements are reduced. As described earlier, the proposed requirements are based on LEED
requirements and requirements found in other cities.

Summary of Recommendations
The following is a summary of requirements by land use. The land use categories described
below are based on Oakland's Use Classifications (Title 17 Chapter 17.10 of the Municipal
Code):
Residential Activities
The bicycle parking requirements for residential uses are based on unit counts, the most
predictive of potential users as well as the most common basis for generating requirements in
other cities. Multifamily residential units without private garages would be required to provide
.25 long-term spaces and .05 short-term spaces per unit. Any residential unit with a private
parking garage would not be required to provide bicycle parking.
Civic Activities
Civic uses are more varied in type and potential demand than residential uses; therefore
requirements are based on square footage, number of employees or students, or number of seats.
Civic activities include schools, transit stations and assembly activities.
Commercial Activities
Commercial activities cover a range of uses, including retail, office space and hotels. Bicycle
parking requirements for these activities are based on square footage. In addition, office
developments greater than 150,000 square feet are required to provide showers and lockers (this
requirement is described in more detail below).
Manufacturing and Other Activities
Most manufacturing activities have bicycle parking requirements based on square footage. The
majority of demand will be from employees rather than short-term visitors and therefore the
recommendations include long-term but no short-term requirements.
Certain types of uses, such as senior housing (for residents over 55 years of age) or elementary
schools (children under the age of 12) have reduced requirements based on the assumption that
many of the users may not be able to ride a bicycle. These land uses still require some bicycle
parking for the users, including employees and visitors, who do travel by bicycle.
Shower/Locker Facilities
The proposed regulations would require large office developments to provide shower and locker
facilities. The bicycle parking ordinances of Portland, Seatfie, San Francisco, San Jose,
Vancouver, and Ottawa all have provisions for locker-room and/or shower facilities for
nonresidential uses. These facilities further encourage bicycling by providing storage space for a
change of clothes and an opportunity to freshen up before work. Academic studies show that
shower/locker facilities at places of employment can be a significant factor in encouraging
commuting to work by bicycle. Employees that workout on their lunch break can also benefitfrom these facilities.

Design and Placement Standards

The proposed bicycle parking regulations, in addition to describing the number of bicycle
parking spaces required of a development, also specify the design and placement standards for
that parking. The standards specify the basic characteristics that bicycle parking facilities need
to have in order for them to be safe, secure and accessible. The standards include the distance of
the parking facilities to the building entrance, the footprint of the parking space and the clearance
that is needed to move in and out of that parking space. The proposed design and placement
standards are based on the City of Oakland's "Bicycle Parking Placement Guidelines" (October
2004), the recommendations of the Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals'
"Bicycle Parking Guidelines" (2002) and the City of Oakland's "Event Bike Parking
Requirements, Guidelines, and Resources." They are also included as part of the Bicycle Master
Plan.
Requirements for Major Remodels
The proposed regulations require bicycle parking for major remodels. In a city like Oakland that
is mostly built-out, it is important that all major development, including major remodels, provide
the infrastructure to better serve a variety of transportation needs. The City of San Francisco
provides a precedent by requiring bicycle parking for any remodel that is estimated to cost over
$1,000,000. Since the City of Oakland's proposed bicycle parking regulations describe two
types of bicycle parking, there are also two types of thresholds, based on square footage and
estimated cost of the remodel, for when to require bicycle parking. For remodels under 10,000
square feet or under $250,000 no bicycle parking is required. If a remodel project is over both of
those amounts, short-term bicycle parking is required. And a remodel project above 50,000
square feet and above $1,000,000 is required to provide long-term bicycle parking and
shower/locker facilities, if applicable.
Flexibility in Requirements
The proposed regulations were crafted to offer a degree of flexibility to developers seeking to
provide bicycle parking. According to Section 117.070.1, the long-term bicycle parking location
requirement of five hundred (500) feet from the main building entrance may be waived in
writing by the Director of City Planning when said activities are located within one thousand
(1000) feet of a proposed or existing bike station or similar high-capacity bicycle parking
facility. Section 117.070.J allows the required bicycle parking to be located on a nearby lot. The
proposed regulations include additional considerations for determination of variances in Section
117.140. Also, Section 117.150 allows the number of automobile parking spaces to be reduced
at the ratio of one automobile space for each six bicycle spaces provided in excess of the
requirements.

Effects on Development
Bicycle parking requirements will have financial and physical effects on development.
Attachment B describes estimated costs and square footage requirements for typical long-term
bicycle parking layouts, including lockers and cages. The average capital cost (not including cost
of installation) of long-term bicycle parking is between $640 and $1200 per space. Each bicycle
would occupy between 6.4 and 30 square feet, depending on the type of long-term bicycle
parking facility. The cost of a basic rack that holds two short-term bicycle parking spaces is
about $150. An additional charge of approximately $113 is incurred if the rack or racks are
located in the public right-of-way and need an encroachment permit. The footprint of two
bicycles on a rack is about 15 square feet. Additional space is needed around bicycle racks to
accommodate a maneuvering aisle or to provide a clear path in the public right-of-way. In
general, the average costs and space effects of providing bicycle parking are minimal when
compared to the overall project cost and size, as well as the cost of automobile parking.
Valet Bicycle Parking for Large, Public Events
In addition to the creation of bicycle parking requirements in the Plarming Code, this process
provides an opportunity to propose amendments to another section of the Municipal Code that
will further the goals and policies regarding bicycle parking that are included in the Bicycle
Master Pltn. Exhibit B to the ordinance shows proposed amendments to Title 9 Chapter 9.52:
Special Event Permits to include requirements for attended bicycle parking at any special event
that expects over 5,000 attendees, such as the Dia de los Muertos Festival in Fruitvale or the Art
& Soul Festival in Downtown.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
The Bicycle Master Plan's Environmental Impact Report (EIR), certified in December 2007,
discussed and evaluated the potential impact of bicycle parking regulations and can be relied
upon for this action. The proposed regulations would not result in any new or more severe
significant impacts, there is no new information of substantial importance that would result in
any new or more severe significant impacts, there are no substantial changes in circumstances
that would result in any new or more severe significant impacts, and there is no feasible
mitigation measure or alternative that is considerably different fi"om others previously analyzed
that has not been adopted.

SUSTAINABLE OPPORTUNITIES
Economic: The proposed regulations that require bicycle parking are intended to promote
bicycling, one of the most cost-effective forms of transportation. Additionally, bicycle trips tend
to be local trips and thus are more likely to contribute to local economic activity.
Environmental: The proposed regulations will promote bicycling, an emissions-free and energy
efficient form of transportation. By extending human-powered travel beyond walking distance,
bicycles are especially effective for linking neighborhoods to downtown, transit stations, and
commercial districts, thereby eliminating short, high-polluting car trips caused by cold starts.
Social Equity: Bicycling is an inexpensive and broadly accessible form of transportation.
According to the American Automobile Association, the average cost of operating a car is
$5,000 to $12,000 per year. According to the League of American Bicyclists, the average cost of
operating a bicycle is $120 per year. Bicycle facilities provide added freedom and independence
for youth and parents (who are otherwise shuttling their children) as well as for some people who
cannot drive and those who have chosen not to drive. Providing bicycle parking will also
promote bicycling for transportation, a means for redressing the public health disparities
associated with physical inactivity and poor nutrition.
DISABILITY AND SENIOR CITIZEN ACCESS
Staff does not anticipate any particular barriers or benefits resulting from the Municipal Code
amendments, regarding access issues for the disabled or for senior citizens. The proposed
regulations include design and placement standards to ensure that adequate clearance is available
on sidewalks next to bicycle parking. Section 17.117.070 specifies that that bicycle racks
located on sidewalks must maintain 5.5 feet of unobstructed pedestrian right-of-way outside the
bicycle parking space. This clearance is increased to 7 feet on sidewalks with heavy pedestrian
traffic.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the City Council fiirther the goals and policies of the Bicycle Master Plan
for encouraging safe bicycling by making the following amendments to the Municipal Code:
(1) Add Chapter 17.117 "Bicycle Parking Regulations" to the Planning Code, which will
create bicycle parking requirements for certain types of development and making related
amendments to other provisions of the Planning Code; and
(2) Amending Chapter 9.52 of the Oakland Municipal Code, "Special Event Permits," to
require valet bicycle parking at large public events.

NOTICE AND DIGEST

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE OAKLAND MUNICIPAL CODE TO:
(1) ADD CHAPTER 17.117 "BICYCLE PARKING REGULATIONS" TO
THE PLANNING CODE, WHICH WILL CREATE BICYLCE PARKING
REQUIREMENTS FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF DEVELOPMENT AND
MAKING RELATED AMENDMENTS TO OTHER PROVISIONS OF
THE PLANNING CODE; AND (2) AMEND CHAPTER 9.52 OF THE
OAKLAND MUNICIPAL CODE, "SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT," TO
REQUIRE VALET BICYCLE PARKING AT LARGE PUBLIC EVENTS.

The proposed bicycle parking regulations will be applied citywide to certain events and
types of development and would result in the provision of end-of-trip facilities integral to
making bicycling a viable form of transportation. The proposed regulations address
bicycle racks, lockers, cages and showers, and how these facilities would be included in
future development and special events.

Article I. General Provisions

17.117.010
Title, Purpose, and Applicability.
The provisions ofthis chapter shall be known as the bicycle parking requirements. The purpose
of these regulations is to require secure and adequate long term-and-short term parking for
bicycles, thereby promoting alternative transportation, providing additional, more sustainable
transpoilation choices for residents and commuters, and reducing traffic congestion and air
pollution. These requirements shall apply to the indicated activities as specified hereinafter.
17.117.020
Bicycle Parking Required for New and Existing Uses.
A. Bicycle Parking Shall be Provided for New Facilities and Additions to Existing Facilities.
Bicvcle parking as prescribed hereafter shall be provided for activities occupying facilities,
or portions thereof which are constructed, established, wholly reconstructed, or moved onto
a new lot after the effective date of the bicvcle parking requirements, or of a subsequent
rezoning oi' other ^miendment thereto establishing or increasing bicvcle parking for such
activities, except to the extent that existing bicycle parking exceeds such requirements for
any existing facilities. The required amount of new bicycle parking shall be based on the
cumulative increase in floor area, or other applicable unit of measurement prescribed
hereafter, after said effective dale.
B. Bicycle Parking Shall be Provided for Remodels. "Remodel" means any proposed physical
improvement of an existing structure which requires a building permit but does not include
New Facilities or Additions to Existing Facilities.
1. Remodel projects that are over 10.000 s.f. and have ;in estimated construction
cost greater than S250.000 shall provide the number of short-term bicvcle

EXHIBIT A
parking spaces prescribed in Sections 117.090 to 117.120. This amount shall
be adjusted to account for changes in the Building Cost Index for the San
Francisco Bay Region, as reported in the Engineering News Record. The
adjustment shall be made annually, starting in 2009. no sooner than one year
from adoption.
2. Remodel projects that are over 50.000 s.f. and have an estimated construction
cost over $1.000.000 shall provide, in addition to short-term bicycle parking.
the number of k)ng-term bicycle parking spaces and shower and locker
facilities prescribed in Sections 117.090 to 117.130. This amount shall be
adjusted to account for changes in the Building Cost Index for the San
Francisco Bay Region, as reported in the Engineering News Record. The
adjustment shall be made annually, starting in 2009. no sooner than one year
from adoption.
C. Bicycle Parking shall be Provided for New Living Units in Existing Facilities. If any facility.
or portion thereof which is in existence on the effective date of the bicycle parking
requirements, or of a subsequent rezoning or other amendment thereto establishing or
increasing bicycle parking requirements for an activity therein, is altered or changed in
occupancy so as to result in an increase on the number of residential living units therein.
bicvcle parking as prescribed hereafter shall be provided for the new units. However, such
bicycle parking need be provided only in the amount by which the requirement prescribed
hereafter for the facility after said alteration or change exceeds the requirement prescribed
hereafter for the facility as it existed prior to such alteration or change: and such new bicycle
parking need not be provided to the extent that existing bicycle parking exceeds the latter
requirement.
17.117.030
More than One Activity on a Lot.
Whenever a single lot contains different activities with the same bicycle requirement, the overall
requirement shall be based on the sum of all such activities, and the minimum size prescribed
hereafter for which any bicycle parking is required shall be deemed to be exceeded for all such
activities if it is exceeded by their sum. Whenever a single lot contains activities with different
bicvcle parking requirements, the overall requirement shall be the sum of the requirements for
each activity calculated separately; provided, however, that the minimum size prescribed
hereafter for which ^mv bicycle parking is required shall be deemed to be exceeded on said lot
for all activities for which the same or a smaller minimum size, expressed in the same unit of
measurement, is prescribed, if said minimum size is exceeded by the sum of all such activities on
the lot.
17.117.040
Determination by Director of City Planning.
In the case of activities for which the Director of City Planning is required to prescribe a number
of bicycle parking spaces or for which this chapter is not clear or does not prescribe a number of
spaces, the Director of City Planning shall base his or her wntten determination on the number of
employees, residents or customers and the nature of operations conducted on the site. Any such .
written determination shall be subject to appeal pursuant to the administrative appeal procedure
in Chapter 17.132.

spaces shall be based on the number of working persons on the lot during the largest shift of
the peak season. If the Director of City Planning determines that this number is difficult to
verify for a specific facility, then the number of required long-term bicvcle parking spaces
shall be a minimum of two spaces or five percent of the amount of required automobile
spaces for the proposed facility, v/hichever is greater.
C. When the bicycle parking requirement is based on number of seals, in the case of pews or
similar facilities each twenty (20) inches shall be counted as one seat.
