AGENDA ITEM
DATE: September 7, 2022
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Captain Scott Merrill, Chief of Police Services
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO ALISO VIEJO MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 10.06,

PEDESTRIAN, BICYCLE, AND SKATEBOARD REGULATIONS, AND
CHAPTER 11.10, PARKS, TO REGULATE ELECTRIC BICYCLES,

BOARDS, AND OTHER MOTORIZED RECREATIONAL OF ELECTRIC

TRANSPORTATION
Recommended Actions:

1. Find that the proposed Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15378(a), 15301(c), and 15061(b)(3); and

2. Introduce for first reading an Ordinance titled:

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ALISO VIEJO, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING CHAPTER 10.06 (PEDESTRIAN, BICYCLE, AND SKATEBOARD REGULATIONS) OF TITLE 10 (STREETS AND SIDEWALKS) AND CHAPTER 11.10 (PARKS) OF TITLE 11 (PARKS AND PUBLIC SPACES) OF THE

ALISO VIEJO MUNICIPAL CODE, ESTABLISHING REGULATIONS RELATING TO

ELECTRIC BICYCLES, MOTORIZED SCOOTERS, AND OTHER ELECTRICALLY MOTORIZED BOARDS ON SIDEWALKS AND PARKS IN THE CITY.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

Background:

The City of Aliso Viejo (“City”) currently regulates the use of non-motorized bicycles, scooters, roller skates and in-line skates on sidewalks and trails, and in parks. In recent years, however, the use of motorized recreational transportation such as electric bicycles and electric skateboards have grown in popularity throughout the State, including within the City.

7.2.1.b
Packet Pg. 703 Attachment: Bicycle Safety Memorandum Presented at November 16, 2022, Traffic Commission Meeting (3110 : Bicycle, Electric Bicycle, and

While the Vehicle Code regulates electric bicycles and boards, it leaves room for local agencies to impose some local regulations. The proposed ordinance (Attachment 1) would regulate motorized recreational transportation in the same manner that nonmotorized recreational transportation is currently regulated by the Aliso Viejo Municipal Code (“AVMC”).

Discussion:

By adopting the proposed ordinance, the City will be regulating these new forms of electronically powered modes of transportation and giving law enforcement the ability to address an issue that has been a cause for concern for both the public and law enforcement. OCSD will have the ability to issue citations when contacting a subject or subjects who are in violation of the AVMC. Additionally, due to the number of issues with these modes of transportation, it is prudent to update the sections of the AVMC related to parks within the City to further address the matter. The proposed ordinance will give law enforcement the ability issue citations in both public and private parks, provided appropriate signs are posted.

While enforcement is important, the primary purpose of the proposed ordinance is to reduce unnecessary risk to members of the public. Staff recognizes motorized recreational transportation has a place in the community as long as it is being operated in a safe manner. Given the concerns for both the transportation operators and pedestrians, the proposed ordinance would generally provide as follows:
 Definitions. Defines electric bicycles, electrically motorized boards (i.e., electric skateboards), electric personal assistive mobility devices (i.e., segways), and motorized scooters (collectively, “motorized recreational transportation”) to match Vehicle Code definitions, as they may be amended;
 Sidewalks. Motorized recreational transportation may be ridden or operated on sidewalks at a speed not to exceed five miles per hour and only at a speed that is reasonable, taking into account weather, visibility, and pedestrian traffic. This is similar to existing regulations on nonmotorized recreational transportation like bicycles;
 Prohibitions: Motorized recreational transportation may not be ridden or operated on certain sidewalks such as within a commercial center or complex, and in City parking lots. This prohibition matches the current prohibitions on the use of nonmotorized bicycles, rollerblades, etc. The Public Works Director could designate additional prohibitions where these modes of transportation could be operated.
 ADA Carve-out. Wheelchairs and other power-driven mobility devices may be ridden or operated on sidewalks and in parks at the speed of pedestrian traffic and in a manner that is safe for the user and pedestrians.

7.2.1.b
Packet Pg. 704 Attachment: Bicycle Safety Memorandum Presented at November 16, 2022, Traffic Commission Meeting (3110 : Bicycle, Electric Bicycle, and

 Parks - Skateboards. Prohibits motorized boards and electric scooters from being ridden or operated in parks or recreational areas except in designated areas, or unless the owner of a private park provides consent. These prohibitions are similar to existing AVMC prohibitions on nonmotorized skateboards, roller skates, and inline skates.  Parks – Bicycles. Allows electric bicycles to be ridden or operated in a designated park or recreational area as long as the operation does not endanger any person, and in no event more than 10 miles per hour. This follows the existing allowance of non-motorized bicycles within designated parks and recreational areas.

Environmental:

This Ordinance is not a “project” subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Ordinance does not qualify as a project because it has no potential to result in either a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15378, subd. (a).) The language simply regulates the use of motorized recreational transportation such as electric bicycles on sidewalks and parks within the City. Even if this Ordinance is considered a “project” subject to CEQA, it is categorically exempt pursuant Section 15301, subdivision (c) because it consists of minor alteration of existing sidewalks and pedestrian crossings involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. In addition, the Ordinance falls within the “common sense” exemption set forth in State CEQA Guidelines section 15061, subdivision (b)(3), which exempts activity from CEQA where “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” Here, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment because the Ordinance simply regulates the use of motorized recreational transportation, such as electric bicycles, on sidewalks and parks within the City; it will not result in any development or in any new activity with the potential to impact the environment. City staff shall cause a Notice of Exemption to be filed as authorized by CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines.

WHEREAS, the City of Aliso Viejo (“City”) is authorized under its police power to enact regulations to preserve the public, health, and safety; and WHEREAS, the City’s Code currently regulates the operation of bicycles within the City but does not explicitly address electric bicycles, motorized scooters, and electrically motorized boards, which have seen increased usage throughout the City and State; and WHEREAS, the City wishes to update its Code to explicitly refer to the aforementioned electric modes of transportation and to define those terms in the same manner as they are used in the Vehicle Code so that there is no confusion or inconsistency between local and State law; and
WHEREAS, the Vehicle Code provides that local authorities, like the City, may regulate electric bicycles, motorized scooters, and electrically motorized boards in a manner that does not conflict with State law; and
WHEREAS, the City wishes to regulate electric bicycles, motorized scooters, electrically motorized, and similar motorized recreational forms of transportation as allowed by State law.

This upcoming 2022-2023 school year, students will be required to apply for a permit if they are planning on riding to school.  Students wishing to ride a bike, eBike, scooter or skateboard must complete the application, watch a video, and complete a quiz with 100% accuracy.  After completing the application process, students will then receive a parking permit placard which will be placed on their transportation.

Students who do not have a permit, will not be allowed to ride to school.  Parking Permits will be available to students who complete the process, but due to safety and space constraints, LRMS will be limiting the number of permits given to students through a lottery system.  A student’s parking permit is a privilege and may be revoked based on not following behavior expectations and behaving unsafely arriving to and leaving campus.

E-bike Vehicle Codes
CA Vehicle Code 312.5 Defines Class 1-3
Ebikes.

Ca Vehicle Code 21213 further prohibits
any person under the age of 16 from
operating a Class 3 electric bike.

CVC 407.5(a) – Defines what a motorized
scooter is.

A “motorized scooter” is any two-wheeled
device that has handlebars, has a
floorboard that is designed to be stood
upon when riding, and is powered by an
electric motor. This device may also have a
driver seat that does not interfere with the
ability of the rider to stand and ride and
may also be designed to be powered by
human propulsion.

Operators of motorized scooters:

1. Are subject to same laws as driver of a
vehicle (ride in direction of traffic, not
against it, while on a highway)

2. Are subject to same lighting
requirements during darkness

3. Do not need Insurance, registration or
a license plate

4. Must ride on right side of the roadway

5. If bicycle lane is present, must ride

Like the high school parking permits, students will need to renew these annually. There will be no fee for the initial parking permit.

More information on the new permit process will be communicated as we get closer to the opening of school.

Please note that if your child will be riding a Class 3 bicycle to school, it will need to be adjusted to a Class 2 speed and you will need to attest to this. We cannot allow our students to ride a Class 3 bicycle to campus since none of our students are 16 yet. Individuals must be 16 to ride Class 3 bicycles.

Safe Routes to School Program
Enforcing protocols for Electronic Bike (eBike) Safety including:
a. Storage-eBikes should be stored in a designated area on campus, on a hard and level surface with the capacity to hold all bikes permitted through the school. eBikes should never block ingress or egress or be placed in any location that would compromise safety and access.
b. Charging-Students using eBikes need to charge their equipment prior to arriving on campus. District outlets should not be used for charging.
c. Security-It is the responsibility of the student to lock and secure the eBike. The District is not responsible for damage or theft of eBikes on campus, or enroute to and from campus.
d. Permits-Each site is responsible for establishing a process for the distribution of permits for eBikes, which includes education, an application process, and is based on the maximum storage capacity at a particular site. e. Education-Each site will require a student to complete a safety training and pass a quiz on the material as part of the permit requirements.
f. Placards-Each site will develop and distribute a parking placard for eBikes that indicates all requirements for registration and training have been met. The placard must be attached and visible at all times on campus. Sites have the discretion to determine the location of the eBike placard.
g. Class 3 eBikes-Individuals must be 16 years of age to operate a Class 3 eBike. h. Enforcement-eBikes without school-issued placards, and eBikes blocking ingress/egress or walkways, will be confiscated and students will be subject to progressive discipline.
