I have a project that has 69 dwelling units and provides indoor bicycle storage for 39 bikes. The project also includes storage lockers in the underground garage for each unit. I would like to confirm that the assigned lockers would be sufficient to meet the long-term bicycle requirements, similar to how an enclosed garage would be sufficient for a single dwelling unit. Additionally, I would like to confirm that the indoor bike parking would be sufficient to meet the short-term needs as well so long as it does not have assigned parking stalls. Thanks in advance for your help.

Short-term bicycle storage = Peak visitors x 0.025 Equation 3. Residential long-term bicycle storage
Long-term bicycle storage = (Regular project occupants) x 0.30 OR (# of dwelling units), whichever is greater See example 2: https://www.usgbc.org/credits/new-construction-core-and-shell-hospitality-new-construction-data-centers-new-construction-0?view=guide# The assigned lockers would be sufficient to meet the long-term bicycle requirements. However, it does not appear the indoor bike parking would meet the definition of short-term parking: "short-term bicycle storage - non-enclosed bicycle parking typically used by visitors for a period of two hours or less."
