Huntington Beach, CA Mobility & Curb Rules: TNC Pickup Zones (2026)

3(a)(2) by requiring Transportation Demand Management (TDM) measures at commercial, industrial, institutional, or other worksites employing 100 or more people. Subsection D(5), Passenger Loading Areas, is the specific TNC pickup zone rule: unless the decision maker determines it unnecessary under Title 24, the project must provide a loading area for passengers embarking and disembarking rideshare vehicles and public transit. The area must be large enough to hold waiting vehicles equal to 1% of the project's required parking count, and it has to sit as close as possible to the identified employee entrance without blocking circulation in the parking lot or adjoining streets.

This sits alongside sister TDM requirements in the same section for carpool parking (9 to 14% of spaces depending on use), showers and lockers (one locker per 20 employees, two showers per 100), bicycle parking (one space per 20 employees), and vanpool spaces (at least 1% of carpool spaces). The Director of Community Development administers TDM compliance as a condition of the site plan or Conditional Use Permit for the qualifying development; the requirement runs with the project's entitlement rather than being a standalone city-wide curb-management program for TNC vehicles.
