Do bike racks have to be within the LEED project boundary?

My project type serves visitors who can reasonably be expected to not be using bikes, e.g. hotel, airport, assisted living facility. Can I exclude them from bike rack requirements?

I've been using all occupants per the NC guide to calculate the bike and changing facilities for our hospital projects. However, I've not had to submit for this credit since HC was formally adopted. Have you called the GBCI and asked them if you can use the HC standard? They will likely ask you why you don't move the project to HC.
