Inquiry

Our project is a large destination resort, with hotel and timeshare components.\nWe are providing bicycle storage for 5% of the resort staff per the requirements of the credit. Our question relates to provision of bicycle storage for transient guests.\n- This resort is located on an island. 100% of the expected visitors will arrive at an international airport or cruise ship port 20 miles from the resort with the only roadway connection being a freeway. Because all guests will arrive on the island by air or ship, and because the only way to get from these arrival points to the resort is by way of a freeway, none of the guests will arrive on a bicycle.\n- This resort project is located in a 640-acre master planned resort community accessible to the rest of the island only by freeway. Within this resort community, there are other hotels and timeshare properties, a golf course, residences, retail and a marina. The owner anticipates that some guests will want to visit these adjacent amenities on foot or bicycle.\n\nPrevious CIR\'s have indicated that, for transient guests, there are situations in which the case can be made for adjustment of the solution when the transient guests are not expected to arrive by bicycle (NCv2.1 SSc4.2 CIR rulings 9/14/2006, 5/13/2007).\n\nIn light of the fact that the region does not provide a bicycle path opportunity between points of arrival and the resort, we propose to provide bicycle racks for guest use, equal to 1% of guests, for those who may travel with packed bikes and have a desire to explore the resort community.\n
