CITY OF AVALON CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: October 18, 2022 AGENDA ITEM: 5
ORIGINATING DEP: Administration CITY MANAGER: _______ PREPARED BY: Devin Hart, Management AnalystSUBJECT: Public Hearing — Appeal of the Decision of the Vehicle Hearing Officer:
Denial of a Request for an Oversized Commercial Autoette RECOMMENDED ACTION(S): 1. Open the Public Hearing. 2. Receive Public Comment. 3.Close the Public Hearing. 4. Consider applicants appeal and determine to either a.) Uphold the decision of the Vehicle Hearing Officer; b.) Overturn the decision of the Vehicle Hearing Officer;or c.) Modify the decision of the Vehicle Hearing Officer.
REPORT SUMMARY: On May 19, 2021, John Jackson, on behalf of Eagle Electric, submitted an application for a new commercial autoette permit. The application also indicated Eagle Electric/Jackson was seeking an oversized vehicle. The application was considered by the Vehicle Hearing Officer on August 19, 2022.As there is no designation for an oversized” commercial autoette within the Avalon Municipal Code (AMC), the Vehicle Hearing Officer formally denied the request on August 24, 2022. See findings of fact and conclusions of Law attached hereto.
PerAMC Section 1-4.01 (b), Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Code, any person excepting to any decision made by any official of the City Pursuant to any of the provisions of this Code may appeal in writing to the Council by filing with the City Clerk a written notice of such appeal setting forth the specific grounds thereof.”
AMC Section 4-4.1703 identifies 9 types of vehicle permits:
- Residential Vehicle- Commercial Vehicle
- Residential Autoette
- Commercial Autoette
- Temporary Vehicle
The provisions for granting a commercial autoette permit are defined within AMC Section 4-4.1703 (c) as follows:
Commercial Autoette Permits. One commercial autoette permit may be granted to any person, organization, partnership, trust or corporation for use in connection with a commercial enterpriselocated within the City limits or within three miles of the City limits, without being subject to a waiting period, as follows:
- Public Service/Public Health and
Safety Vehicle
- Commercial Rental Autoette- Vintage Vehicle- Horse-Drawn Vehicle IlL The following findings must be made in an affirmative manner a. The commercial autoette for which a permit is requested is necessary to the proper functioning of the commercial enterprise.
b. The commercial enterprise has no other vehicle, autoette or other source oftransportation that can reasonably satisfy its transportation requirements, including resident vehicles and autoettes.
c.That the autoette measures no more than 130 inches in length, including thefront and rear bumpers.d.The commercial enterprise is a significant source of income to the applicant andnot a side business or hobby, or the Hearing Officer determines that shared use ofthe autoette by two or more businesses owned by the permittee is consistent withthe purposes and goals of this chapter, or the autoette is to be used on a full-time basis or an exclusive basis for a business venture or ventures by the permittee.
The Vehicle Hearing Officer made the finding that Eagle Electric/Jackson is eligible for acommercial autoette permit. However, the proposed autoette exceeds the maximum length ofan autoette. While the AMC allows for oversized vehicles (Section 4-4.1705.1), it does not allow for oversized autoettes. In case an autoette does not fulfill the needs of a business, the AMC allows for a commercial business to apply for a commercial vehicle permit. However, the current wait list for a commercial vehicle is significant.
In 2021, the City Council discussed autoette size during four regular City Council Meetings.Discussions resulted in redefining the length of an autoette from 120” to 130”. Additionally, per City Council direction, autoettes currently registered in the City of Avalon that exceeded the newly established 130” were granted “grandfathered” status on the condition that they would not be sold or registered to any other owner in Avalon. At the time the ordinance was adopted, 18autoettes were “grandfathered” —the largest autoette being 143”.
The autoette proposed by Eagle Electric, a Polaris Gem, is 55.5” wide by 146” long.
It should be noted the Polaris Gem does not meet the state established definition of an autoette and does not comply with the autoette or Low-Speed Vehicle/Neighborhood Electric Vehicle asdefined in either California Vehicle Code 385.5 or 49 CRE 571.500 as existed on January 1,2010.
City Staff supports the findings of the Vehicle Hearing Officer in as much as the decision isconsistent with the AMC.GOAL ALIGNMENT: Consistency in application of AMC.
FISCAL IMPACTS: There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION: Council action may set a precedence for larger autoettes throughout Avalon further exacerbating congestion and parking issues.FOLLOW UP ACTION: Implement City Council direction.
ADVERTISING, NOTICE AND PUBLIC CONTACT: Pursuant to the Brown Act.

Subject: Re: Appeal to the City Council
I request an appeal to this decision of the oversized vehicle officer Kenneth Dapeer, who stated I did not qualify br this hearing as my vehicle is not oversized, just longer than the average golf cart. 1 want to get a Polaris gem. electric vehicle. There are many of these Polaris Gems that have been granted cit; stickers currently in town now. close to 20 of them. It is 8 inches longer than standard allowable length. I also have over night parking. I have an electrical business which requires me to move heavy items. I’ve gone through4 of these mini trucks and the terrible times of not being able to get parts as they are not allowed driven on the US roads. This is a nice quiet electric vehicle.
All of these Polaris Gems throughout town are built with the last 5 years and to he told the phrase ‘they are grandfathered in” is a lie told to discourage or simply to discriminate against inc from getting one. These Polaris Gems are vehicles the Cit; has alloed on the island for several years now. With California attempting to go electric by 2035 . I’m just trying to fall in line a little sooner.
Thank you

DECISION DENYING APPLICATION FOR A NEW OVERSIZED
COMMERCIAL AUTOE’17E PERMIT
APPLICANT:John Jackson / Eagle Electric
P.O. Box 2034
Avalon, CA 90704
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
I. In an application dated May 19, 2021, John Jackson, Applicant herein, applied for a new commercial autoette permit pursuant to Section 4-4.1703(c) of the Avalon Municipal Code for a commercial business which operates underthe name Eagle Electric. The application was also checked as requesting an oversized vehicle.2 The Hearing Officer considered the application at a duly noticed hearing on August 19, 2022, at which time both oral and written evidence was received.
John Jackson personally appeared. Rocio De La Cruz, Vehicle Clerk for the City of Avalon, was present on behalf of Avalon and participated at the hearing. The hearing took place in person at Avalon City Hall,3. Eagle Electric provides electrical contracting services in Avalon, Standard business activities include transporting materials, pipe, tools, ladders, wireand other heavy equipment. Applicant has been using a Vantage autoette.Eagle electric is a viable business, providing services to the Conservancy,Hamlton Cove, and the City of Avalon.
4. Mr. Jackson claims that Vantage autoettes are inadequate to serve hisneeds. His current vehicle breaks down frequently and parts are not readilyavailable.5. The proposed replacement is a Polaris Gem, but by his own admission, saidautoette is longer than the limit established under the code by several inches.Mr. Jackson points out several advantages of a Polaris Gem such as being electric, more durable, almost silent, and non-polluting. \\a}clI, ( ii> I all • 40 \‘ uhm Canvo R(IUcI • T’( ) 0 • \‘ak’n.

6. The applicant has overnight off-street parking available at the Cottonwood Laundry, and earnings from Eagle Electric is his sole source of income.
DECISION
The Hearing Officer does not dispute that the applicant is entitled to use a commercial autoette. Since the Applicant already has a commercial autoette permit, this hearing would not be required if the Applicant was merelyreplacing one autoette for another, provided the replacement was of a size permitted under the code, A simple replacement could be effectuated by the Vehicle Clerk.
However, the applicant seeks to use an oversized autoette, and there is no provision under the code that grants the hearing officer the authority to approve an oversized autoette, or to make exceptions to the maximum dimensions allowed under the code. Accordingly, this Hearing Officer is bound to deny the application notwithstanding any equitable factors that impact this Applicant.

REPORT SUMMARY: During the February 16, 2D21 meeting of the City Council the City Council had a discussion on autoette lengths as defined by the Avalon Municipal Code (AMC).
During the February 16, 2021 meeting. the City Council directed Staff:
1, Allow autoettes currently on the Island to receive a “special temporary permits for a period of one year while the City determines exactly how many vehicles do not meet the current autoette deiinftion or qualify for the “Low-Speed Vehicle/Neighborhood Electric Vehicles” length exemption. Continue gathering data and making an informed analysis, and return for next steps.
2. To not allow any hew temporary permits be authorized for vehicles exceeding the length requirement as outlined in the AMC, “New permits” would he defined as autoettes not previously registered to the City of Avalon.
3. To not allow resale of Limo autoettes from commercial entities to residents.
4. To not allow Limo autoettes to he registered with the City if the vehicle was purchased after February 16, 2021.
The 2021 vehicle registration season ended on April 1, 2021. A total of registered during the vehicle season — 828 residential autoettes andautoettes. During registration it was discovered that approximately residential autoettes (16%) exceed the maximum length of 120 inches AMC as well as 115 commercial autoettes utilized for rentals, 1140 vehicles were

As directed, City Staff informed auto dealers that no now temporary permits would be authorized for vehicles exceeding the length requirement as outlined in the AMC “New permits” would be defined as autoettes not previously registered to the City of Avalon Within the AMC, Chapter 4, Section 4.1714, establishes the maximum lengths and widths of vehicles permitted in Avalon. Per the code:
AUTOETTE — Shall mean any of the following: (1) a motor vehicle having three or more vfieels in contact with the ground, an un/eden weight of no inure than 1,600 pounds and an overall length of no greater than 120 inches including the front and bach bumpers, without regard to classification or designation of such vehicle by the Department of Motor Vehicles...
The AMC has an autoette length allowance for environmentally friendly “Low-Speed Vehicle/Neighborhood Electric Vehicles and a width allowance for “Mico-cars.” On February 2, 2010, the AMC was amended (Chapter 4, Section 4-4.1705 (b)(1)) to permit oversized ‘environmentally friendly vehicles:
Ar; autoette permit may be issued to an otherwise qualifiod person for an electric-power-ed autoette that meets rho definition of “Low-Speed Vehicle/Neighborhood Electric Vehicle” as defined in either California Vehicle Code 385.5 or 49 CER 571.500 as it existed on January 1, 2010, provided such vehicle is me gisterod wit/i the California Department of Motor Vehicles, has a length of 138 inches or less, including front and rear bumpers, and a vikiti, of 67 inches or less, as measured from the widest part of the vehicle, but not including mirrors or doorhandles.” The AMC was further revised on December 20, 2016 to permit micro-cars (Chapter 4, Section 4-4.1705 (b)(2)):
An autoette permit ‘nay be issued to an otherwise qualified person; for a SinadForTwo, Scion or ‘tnicro-cars” provided such vehicle is registered as a motor vehicle with the Cal/form i/a Department of Motor Vehicles and has a width of 67 inches or less, as n?easumed from the widest part of the vehicle, hut not including mirrors or door handles and a length no greatet that; 120. 1 Thches.
City Staff have determined that vehicles that exceed the pemitted length were previously permitted for a myriad of reason, including, but not limited to:
- Rental operators sold ovesized autoettes that were approved as commercial vehicles or had a full size sticker to residents.
- City Staff misinterpreted the vehicle code. (Measuring only the body of the autoetto versus the full length — bumper to bumper — or confusing gas autoettes for “LowSpeed Vehicles/Neighborhood Electric Vehicles’ as described in the AMC.) - Vehicles were approved as they met the AMC, but later modified to include a rear step, addiliorial row of seats or extended bumper.
City Staff is requesting direction horn the City Council in how to best proceed with vehicles that do not meet the requirements as outlined in the AMC.
Potential solLitions include:
1. Amend the AMC to redefine the length of an autoette. (greater than 120 inches)
2. Prohibit sales and any new permits for autoettes that exceed the maximum length as defined in the AMC. Allow autoettes currently on the island that exceed the maximum lengths as defined in the AMC to remain; however, prohibit sale of the vehicle to another owner. Once the vehicle exceeds its useful life with its current owner, it will be required to he removed from the Island,
I. If the total length approved by the AMO is not amended, Stat! note this direction will create an unrealistic administrative burden as monitoring the possession and potential resale of 265 autoettes is not feasible.
3. Maintain the AMC definition of autoette and require all autoettes that do not qualify for the “Low-Speed Vehicle/Neighborhood Electric Vehicles’ length exemption to be removed or otherwise be deemed illegal under the AMC autoette definition.
City Staff recommend redefining the length of an autoette to 130 inches. This solution will address 90% of the autoettes that do riot currently conform to the AMC.
If the City Council decides to amend the AMC, City Staff will bring a revised ordinance back to the Cty Council for a first reading on May 4, 2021. A second reading of the ordinance wouldtake place on May 16, 202’l. The ordinance would not go into effect until 30 days later. The 18 individuals that have received the special temporary permits have valid permits until next year and would therefore have 7 months to determine how to proceed without penalty.
FISCAL IMPACTS: Undetermined.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION: City Staff will not know how to proceed with vehicle registration.
FOLLOW UP ACTION: Implement City Council direction.
