No such building, commercial establishment or other property subject to the provisions of this section shall have fewer than three (3), nor be required to have more than fifty (50) bicycle/moped parking spaces.

Each space shall include a metal anchor that will secure the frame and both wheels of a bicycle or moped in conjunction with a user-supplied lock. If bicycle/moped parking is not visible to the general visiting public, then a sign no larger than ten (10) inches by fifteen (15) inches shall be displayed that directs cyclists to the bicycle/moped parking.

C.

The provisions of this section shall apply to property owners, persons occupying the property pursuant to a leasehold interest, or other managers or operators of buildings, commercial establishments and property subject to the provisions of this section.

D.

The provisions of this section shall apply to any building, commercial establishment or property for which a permit for new construction is issued following the effective date of this part, and to the alteration of existing buildings in all cases where sufficient space exists to provide such parking facilities.
