racks are conditioned to be provided for each building to facilitate bicycle parking for this de- velopment. The applicant concurs with this requirement. Off Street Bicycle Lanes At the work session, the Planning Commission directed staff to provide for safe bicycle routes through the project. "I'he proposed project provides a designated bike route on Stanley Boulevard and Bernal Avenue within the road section along with the ability to ride on a ten-foot wide Stanley Boulevard and an eight-foot wide -Bernal Avenue -separated sidewalk. The sidewalks adjoining Stanley Boulevard and Bernal Avenue would be separated from the street curb by a five-foot wide plant- ing strip. These designated bike routes will be in addition to the bike lanes to be provided in these street rights-of-way. Figure 10 is a section through Stanley Boulevard showing the street, separated sidewalk, and building. ~• :. • L/~~+•I -,•I' t.. •, :;: • . ' ~ ' ~ ~ ~ ~ y~ . . I ~ I ~ - - ~ t+.... ~~ r .~, __ ~.

The separated sidewalk can be accommodated along all project frontages, maintaining the build- ing/landscape setbacks along these frontages without changing the site plan, except for the area between the main access driveway opposite Utah Street and Nevada Court. To maintain an ade- quate landscape area for a bio- swale between the sidewalk and the parking spaces, staff recom- mends deleting 15 parking spaces from the parking rows perpendicular to Bernal Avenue.
