Title
Discussion of Shared Mobility Devices (Electric Scooters, Bicycles and Future Technologies)
Recommendation
a) Determine that the action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly; and
b) Take no action, leaving current regulations in place, which prohibit the use of the public right of way for commercial business activities, except with a permit. Make a recommendation to staff that no permits shall be issued for the storage, use, or placement of shared mobility devices, including electric bicycles or scooters, within the public right of way or on city property; or
c) Direct staff to prepare a process and/or regulations that would enable the City to issue permits for shared mobility devices and their use within public right of way and on city property. Return to the Council at a later date for discussion and adoption of a process and/or regulations; or
d) Take another action related to shared mobility devices not stated here.
