The city's legal department is reviewing the proposed zoning change, which will likely come before the City Council in March. As proposed, it would require new businesses or apartment complexes -- or existing buildings that expand by more than 10 percent -- to include parking for bicycles based on the amount of parking provided for automobiles.If a new business requires a 100-space parking lot, it would have to include parking for at least five bicycles. For places likely to attract more bicycle riders, such as a swim club or community center, the percentage of bicycle parking jumps to 10 percent.
