A.
If after calculating the number of required bicycle parking spaces a quotient is obtained containing a fraction of one-half (½) or more, an additional space shall be required; if such fraction is less than one-half (½), it may be disregarded.
B.
When the bicycle parking requirement is based on number of employees, the number of 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 bicycle parking spaces shall be a minimum of two (2) spaces or five percent (5%) of the amount of required automobile spaces for the proposed facility, whichever is greater.
C.
When the bicycle parking requirement is based on number of seats, in the case of pews or similar facilities, each twenty (20) inches shall be counted as one seat.
D.
The calculation of short-term bicycle parking may include existing racks that are in the public right-of-way and are within fifty (50) feet of the main entrance.
