Full Breakdown
Article 21 of Chapter 7, Title 4 was added by Ordinance 2020-985, effective October 1, 2020. Section 4-7.2101 states the purpose: to prohibit shared mobility devices from being placed or operated in the public right-of-way or on public property, or offered for use anywhere in the City, so as to allow adequate pedestrian traffic flow and promote public safety.
Section 4-7.2102 defines a shared mobility device as any wheeled device, other than an automobile or motorcycle, that is powered by a motor, is accessed via an on-demand portal such as a smartphone application or membership, is operated by a private entity that owns, manages and maintains devices for shared use by the public, and is available in unstaffed, self-service locations, except locations designated by the City. A device must meet every element to fall within the ban.
Section 4-7.2103 sets three separate prohibitions. Subsection (a) makes it unlawful to park, leave standing, leave lying, abandon, or otherwise place a shared mobility device in a public right-of-way or on public property anywhere within the City. Subsection (b) makes it unlawful to operate one in a public right-of-way or on public property anywhere within the City. Subsection (c) makes it unlawful to provide or offer for use a shared mobility device anywhere within the City. The ban is citywide, so no zone boundaries matter: operating one in any public right-of-way or on any public property anywhere within the City is unlawful.
Under § 4-7.2104, police officers, parking enforcement officers, or code enforcement can issue an administrative citation under Chapter 5 of Title 1, as permitted by Government Code Section 53069.4. Police officers, parking enforcement officers, City officials designated by the City Manager, and any party contracted by the City to impound shared mobility devices can impound them under the California Vehicle Code, with an impound and storage fee for every device set by City Council resolution.
Violations & Fines
Each violation draws an administrative fine of $500 per mobility device, and the City Council can amend the amount in a schedule of fines adopted by resolution. A citation does not limit the City's discretion to use any other remedy, civil or criminal. Impounded devices carry an impound and storage fee for every device, also set by City Council resolution.
