In subsection 7.04 of this section, the minimum bicycle parking requirements are expressed as a certain number of spaces or as a percentage of the required number of vehicle parking spaces. 2. In all cases where bicycle parking is required, a minimum of four (4) spaces shall be provided. 3. After the first fifty (50) bicycle parking spaces are provided, additional spaces are required at fifty percent (50%) of the number required by this Section. 4. Where the expected need for bicycle parking for a particular use is uncertain due to unknown or unusual operating characteristics of the use or due to a location that is difficult to access by bicycle, the building official may authorize that the construction of up to fifty percent (50%) of the required bicycle parking spaces be deferred. The land area required for the deferred bicycle parking spaces must be maintained in reserve. If an enforcement official of the city determines at some point in the future that the additional parking spaces are needed, the property owner will be required to install the parking in the reserved area. The owner of the property on which the bicycle parking area is reserved must properly execute, sign, and record a written agreement that is binding upon their successors and assigns as a covenant running with the land that assures the installation of bicycle parking within the reserved area by the owner if so ordered by an enforcement official of the city.
