The proposed amendment to section 9.586 of the Eugene Code would establish a base automobile parking requirement of 4,749 for the Autzen complex (including the stadium Moshofsky Center, and Casanova Center) and would allow the parking to be provided "on -site or within 1000' of the development site that the property is required to serve." The proposed amendment also stipulates that all required parking "be under the same ownership as the development site served, except through a city approved agreement that binds the parking area to the development site." The amendment would allow parking areas in the Juvenile Justice Center that are leased from Lane County to be counted as part of the on -site parking supply for the stadium. k; 3 �9 Bicycle Parking The Eugene Code requires bicycle parking to be provided for virtually all land uses and stipulates that bicycle parking requirements will apply to "new development, changes of use, and building expansions" (EC 9.585 General Bicycle Parking Requirements). Bicycle parking requirements apply to the total stadium area, not just the expansion area. The code requirement of 1 bicycle parking space per 16 seats would result in a total bicycle parking requirement of 3,368 spaces when applied to the expansion proposal. Twenty percent of those spaces (674 spaces) would be required for long -term parking; 80% (2,694 spaces) would be required for short-term parking. Currently, bicycle parking is accommodated in Stadium, the Moshofsky Center, and the Casanova Center; and through the provision of valet bicycle parking (the "Duck Pen ") in the area south of Leo Harris Parkway. In 1999, as many as 280 bicycles were parking in the Duck Pen during a day game; night game utilization was significantly less. During events, bicycles are also seen locked to fences, poles and other objects not intended for bicycle parking. The University estimates that, on average, approximately 210 bicycles are parked in areas other than the Duck Pen during stadium events. The University currently charges $3.00 per bike to park in the Duck Pen; no fee is charged for parking outside of the Duck Pen. In the 1997 TDM Plan, the University committed to increasing the number of secured bicycle parking spaces to 300 and to lowering the bicycle parking cost to be competitive with the per person vehicle parking cost. The University also committed to providing 25 additional bike parking spaces in conjunction with construction of the Casanova Center. That TDM Plan also included, as a "second tier" measure, to "provide additional secured bicycle parking with the goal of working toward the Code requirement of over 1250" if further measure were required to reduce the demand for on -site parking.
