Resolution No. 2023-04-11-1 commenced the 2023 Weed Abatement Program by declaring the weeds, rubbish, refuse, and/or dirt on parcels identified in the 2023 Weed Abatement List to be a public nuisance and authorized the City Clerk to send written notice of the proposed public nuisance abatement to all persons owning property identified and described in the 2023 Weed Abatement List and advising them to remove any and all weeds, rubbish, refuse, and/or dirt that, when dry, become a fire hazard.

On April 12, 2023, the City mailed the legally required notice to destroy weeds and remove rubbish, refuse, and/or dirt to all affected property owners identified on the 2023 Weed Abatement List. The notice provided that if the public nuisance is not abated and removed by the owners of the parcels of land, such nuisances will be abated and removed by City authorities in accordance with the abatement procedures set forth in Government Code Section 39560 et seq., in which case the cost of such removal shall be assessed upon the parcel of lands from which or in front of which such weeds, rubbish, refuse and/or dirt, are removed and that upon confirmation such cost will constitute a lien upon such parcel or lands until paid.

Pursuant to the April 12, 2023, mailed notice, affected property owners have been given until May 31, 2023, to abate and remove the weeds, rubbish, refuse and/or dirt on their property at their sole cost and expense. The notice further provided that the City Council will hear and consider all property owner objections and protests to the proposed public nuisance abatement as part of a Public Hearing process to have been conducted on May 9, 2023, at 7:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as possible. As of the time of this writing, City staff has observed some of the property owners have begun to take steps to clear the weeds on their property.

The City Council is requested to open the Public Hearing, receive and consider public testimony, and adopt a Resolution allowing or overruling any objections, authorizing the Public Works Director to abate and remove the weeds, rubbish, refuse, and/or dirt on the parcels identified and described on the 2023 Weed Abatement List, and report in writing to the City Council on July 11, 2023, regarding the cost of abatement. Any objections by the property owners liable to be assessed for the costs of abatement will be heard by the City Council on July 11, 2023. Pursuant to the State law, upon issuance of the abatement order through the adoption of the attached Resolution, the City Council acquires jurisdiction to proceed and perform the work of removal.

Mayor and Council Members
Joe Ames, P.E., T.E.

Public Works Director/City Engineer
Bicycle, Electric Bicycle, and Motorized Mobility Device Safety RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council direct Police Services to monitor and observe violations of State law and City codes related to motorized bicycles and devices and report back to City Council in one year.

SUMMARY:

At the March 28, 2023, City Council meeting, the City Council directed City staff to continue this item to the first regular City Council meeting in May. Mayor Heft also requested that City staff collect information on ordinances other nearby cities have adopted related to electric bicycle use.

BACKGROUND:

At the September 13, 2022, City Council meeting, the City Council directed the Traffic Commission and City staff to research safety concerns over bicycles, electric bicycles, and motorized mobility devices and provide a report to City Council. Subsequently, City staff: 1) Participated in a newly formed staff level Quarterly E-Bike Coordination meeting led by the Orange County Transportation Authority on October 3, 2022; 2) Collected information on other Orange County city ordinances and how other cities were addressing any issues related to bicycles, electric bicycles and motorized mobility devices; and 3) Attended a Bicycle and Pedestrian Active Transportation Subcommittee meeting with then Mayor Wheeler on September 20, 2022.

7.2.1 Packet Pg. 210
Bicycle, Electric Bicycle, and Motorized Mobility Device Safety May 9, 2023

The Quarterly E-Bike Coordination meeting held on October 3, 2022, focused on defining the problem of electric bicycles, if any, and discussing ways to conduct educational outreach. Out of the discussion, the attendees expressed an interest in exploring opportunities for creating new or enhancing existing bikeways, collecting and comparing city ordinances related to the topic, and asking OCTA to continue to lead coordination efforts, including public outreach.

On November 16, 2022, City staff presented an oral report summarizing a 296-page written report to the Traffic Commission on this topic, which also included a presentation from the Chief of Police Services. As the City department most likely to observe issues with bicycles, electric bicycles, and motorized mobility devices, the Chief of Police Services gave an oral presentation accompanied by a slideshow indicating there has not been an electric bicycle problem and that no further ordinances are required to prohibit unsafe use of bicycles, electric bicycles, or motorized mobility devices. Consequently, the Traffic Commission recommended “that the City Council direct Police Services to monitor and observe violations of State law and City codes related to motorized bicycles and devices and report back to the Commission in one year.” However, the Traffic Commission requested additional time to review the City staff written report before recommending any changes be made prior to presentation to City Council.

In the intervening period of time, City staff attended the February 2, 2023, Quarterly E-Bike Coordination meeting to discuss updates on electric bicycle use and law outreach, regulations adopted by cities, planning initiatives to create more user-friendly bikeways, and enforcement issues and statistics. Information presented at the February 2, 2023, Quarterly E-Bike Coordination meeting did not change City staff’s views on the issue.

At the March 15, 2023, Traffic Commission meeting, City staff solicited comments on the previously presented written report. The Traffic Commission had no additional comments for City staff to incorporate into its written report. In his oral report to Traffic Commission, then Chief of Police Services, Captain de la Rosa provided updated statistics regarding bicycle and electric bicycle enforcement and accidents:
• Since 2020, there have been 8 reported e-bike accidents. • Since 2020, there have been 19 reported bicycle accidents and 1 death. • Since 2020, there have been 3 citations issued regarding “riding on the right side of roadway,” “helmet required,” and “unlicensed” issues.

7.2.1 Packet Pg. 211
Bicycle, Electric Bicycle, and Motorized Mobility Device Safety May 9, 2023

Based on the oral update from the Chief of Police Services, the Traffic Commission indicated they wanted an update from Police Services on bicycle and electric bicycle enforcement and accident statistics at each Traffic Commission meeting to track the issue, and if necessary to recommend a different course of action to City Council.

At the March 28, 2023, City Council meeting, the Public Works Director reviewed the agenda report, which included a history of the recommendations made by the Traffic Commission and then Chief of Police Services, Captain de la Rosa. The March 28, 2023, City Council meeting agenda report also included a copy of the 296-page written report to the Traffic Commission. In response to the recommendations, Mayor Pro Tempore Wheeler indicated he would support a prohibition on bicycles and electric bicycles on the sidewalk, or a five (5) mile per hour speed limit on sidewalks. Councilmember Pezold indicated she would like to see more effort and funds spent on educating children on electric bicycle safety. City Attorney Simonian indicated the City of Carlsbad adopted an ordinance which might serve as a model for the City. (It should be noted the Carlsbad ordinance prohibits bicycles and electric bicycles from being ridden on all City sidewalks) Mayor Heft indicated she wanted City staff to collect more information on ordinances other nearby cities have adopted related to electric bicycle use, and to bring back this item to the first regular City Council meeting in May.

Based upon his research, the Public Works Director found that the Orange County Transportation Authority several surveyed cities’ ordinances related to bicycles and electric bicycles. Many cities have adopted ordinances regulating the speed of bicycles on sidewalks to five (5) miles per hour. These cities include Laguna Niguel, Laguna Woods, Mission Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita, and Lake Forest. However, in a few of the surveyed cities, these speed limits only apply in business districts and near schools.

Other cities, such as Aliso Viejo, have adopted ordinances regulating use of bicycles and electric bicycles in certain places, like in City parks and around community centers, which is what the City of Laguna Hills has already done (Laguna Hills Municipal Code § 8-04-280).

In addition, Laguna Hills Municipal Code Section 11-32.030(A) states:

It is unlawful and subject to punishment in accordance with Section 11-32.080 of this chapter for any person utilizing or riding upon rollerskates, bicycles, skateboards, scooters, or similar devices to ride or move about in or on any public or private property when the same has been designated by resolution of the City Council and posted as a no rollerskating, skateboarding, bicycling or scooter area.

7.2.1 Packet Pg. 212
Bicycle, Electric Bicycle, and Motorized Mobility Device Safety May 9, 2023

Laguna Hills Municipal Code Section 11-32.040 also states:

The City Council may designate any public sidewalk or other public property as a no rollerskating, skateboarding, bicycling or scooter area. The City Council shall designate such area by resolution and order the posting of appropriate signage in accordance with Section 11-32.060 of this chapter. Notice of the City Council’s proposed designation shall be provided as follows:

A. For sidewalks on highways, listed in the master plan of arterial highways, the City Clerk shall cause notice of City Council consideration of such action to be published in a newspaper of general circulation at least five days prior to the City Council consideration.

B. For other public property the City Clerk shall cause additional notice of City Council consideration by means of posting such notice along the highway or sidewalk or on the public property.

Therefore, the City Council can already prohibit bicyclists, on a sidewalk-segment specific basis, from riding on sidewalks, but it would require a process and signage to be posted. The City Attorney indicated to City staff that this Code may need to be amended in order for it to be applicable to electric bicycles.

At this time, City staff recommends that the City Council direct Police Services to monitor and observe violations of State law and City codes related to motorized bicycles and devices and report back to City Council in one year. This recommendation differs from the March 28, 2023, City Council meeting recommended action where it was previously recommended that Police Services “report back to the Traffic Commission in one year.”
CEQA FINDINGS:

The recommended actions do not qualify as a "project" subject to CEQA because it constitutes continuing administrative or maintenance activities, such as general policy and procedure making. (State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060(c)(3)) ATTACHMENTS:
