I read from Reference Guide that there is distance requirements (200 yards from building entrance) for location selection of bicycle storage for case 1 (commerical or institutional project 300,000 sq or less) but no such requirements mentioned for case 2 (commerical or institutional project larger than 300,000 sq ft). Would someone please clarify that there is no distance requirement between sited bicycling storage location and building entrance for case 2 scenarios?

Projects over 300,000 sf do list the requirement for shower and changing facilities to be within 200 yards of the entrance. As you point out, there's not the explicit requirement for the racks to be within 200 yards for CS Case 2.
Since the main difference in the credit requirements between the cases and project types are in the percentages racks per FTE, and all the others consistently list 200 yards for the maximum rack distance, I can see no good reason why CS Case 2 projects wouldn't also have to meet that requirement. I suspect this is a small omission that's not been picked up in the addenda yet, and if you go through the credit form I believe it will still follow the 200 yard minimum distance requirement between bike storage and building entrance.
