RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Present the ordinance for its second reading to be read by title only and waive further
reading.
BACKGROUND:
The Homeless Task Force (HTF) was formed by the City Council in January, 2011 in a
response to a series of incidents in the Lions Park vicinity. Problems due to vagrancy
included individuals sleeping in the park overnight, multiple encounters between the
homeless population, library, and community center patrons, and a variety of complaints
from adjacent property owners and park users.
The HTF adopted nine goals and recommendations dealing with the issues related to
homelessness. Since that time, the City, in conjunction with both the faith based and
non-profit communities, has encouraged and implemented a variety of policies and
programs including an ordinance prohibiting sex offenders in the park, a church run
storage facility, a Neighborhood Improvement Task Force which deals with
homelessness and community blight, and a church instituted family reunification
program. The City is also reviewing its abandoned property ordinance as well as other
ordinances and policies dealing with hotel/motel nuisance abatement, vice activities,
and long tern motel occupancy rates.
As part of its review of quality of life issues, the City has also undertaken a variety of
public improvements designed to improve its parks and recreational areas. In
cooperation with the Churches Consortium, and with the advent of the church operated
"Check-in Center" storage facility, the City recently removed the railing in front of the
Downtown Library which was used by the homeless for short-term storage. Similarly,
the City recently began demolition of the picnic shelter at Lions Park in anticipation of
newer, permanent recreational facilities.
During the past several years, there have also been citizen complaints regarding
bicycles being attached to poles, trees, fire hydrants, utility boxes, and irrigation
systems throughout the city. in several areas, these locked bicycles have blocked the
right of way on sidewalks and other areas in the city including parks. Many of these
bicycles were abandoned for several days. Additionally, over the 5 -month period from
January to May 2012, there was a 68% increase in bicycle thefts compared to the same
5 -month time period in 2011 (January to May 2011).
City staff believes the best course of action to mitigate these thefts and to eliminate the
blight of bicycles being locked throughout the city is to enact a bicycle ordinance similar
to the one in the Freehold Borough in New Jersey. The New Jersey ordinance deals
directly with improper bicycle parking which not only blocks the circulation paths of
vehicular and pedestrian traffic, but also creates visual clutter along the streets. The
ordinance prohibits a person from locking a bicycle to poles, traffic signs or signals,
hydrants, mailboxes, trees, and similar appurtenances or on or in any public rights -of —
way and semi-public rights-of-way or in any other fashion on or to anything other than a
bicycle parking rack. Similarly, the City of Costa Mesa is facing the same issue and is
responding with a bicycle parking ordinance to protect access and reduce visual
disorder on the street.
The ordinance attached was read for the first time on July 3rd, 2012. Since then, no
changes have been made to the ordinance. This will be the second reading of the
ordinance.
ANALYSIS:
Proposed Ordinance Requirements
The proposed ordinance protects the public welfare by regulating where and how
bicycles may be parked (Attachment A). It prohibits bicycles from being locked to public
infrastructure other than bicycle racks on public and private property. Bicycles locked in
locations not designed specifically for bicycle parking shall be impounded. Owners who
have had their bicycles impounded will be able to retrieve their bicycle from the City
after paying the storage costs incurred by the City. The penalty for improper locking of
one's bicycles will provide a disincentive from improper parking that impedes public
circulation. Furthermore, bike owners will be encouraged to utilize the church storage
Check-in Center facility for proper. storage.
In addition to Freehold, New Jersey, several neighboring cities such as Newport Beach,
Huntington Beach, and Irvine have enacted bicycle ordinances which either regulate
abandoned bicycles or stipulate bicycle parking requirements. Attachment B shows the
standards for these comparable cities.
Existing Bike Racks in Costa Mesa
There are currently 30 parks and 38 bike parking spaces in those same parks in the city
of Costa Mesa (Attachment C). The City conducted two separate analyses to determine
bicycle rack adequacy. The City performed a brief bicycle rack usage analysis to
estimate whether parks and other public facilities had adequate amounts of bicycle
parking (Attachment C).
2
The following locations were studied because they exhibited a high usage level, as
determined by the number of picnic shelter reservations between May 2011 and May
2012. Those parks are:
1.
Tewinkle Park
2.
Fairview Park
3.
Lions Park
4.
Shiffer Park
5.
Wakeham Park
Based on the number of racks as well as a usage analysis by the Housing and Community
Development staff, there appears to be an inadequate number of bicycle racks in the city
parks observed. An additional 22 bicycle parking spaces would be needed to
accommodate the bicycles observed during the survey time period. Based on this survey,
the majority would need to be in Lions Park. Moreover, staff plans to carry out an
additional usage survey based on peak weekend times prior to finalizing the data.
An additional analysis was undertaken looking at bike racks needed as a percentage of
vehicle parking spaces at each park. It was estimated that parks would require 23 new
bike spaces. Based on this evaluation, Lions Park had adequate bicycle parking spaces
while the other four parks had a deficit of spaces.
The City is in the process of a grant application to fund more bicycle parking racks for
public facilities. If more racks are provided, funding will possibly be available in July,
2012. Thus, enforcement would be rolled out on a "phased basis" based on the timeline
for installation of new racks in the parks. Additionally, in parks where there are currently
no bike racks, which are typically smaller parks, there will be no enforcement given the
lack of bicycle parking spaces in those locations. However, it is suggested that prior to
any bike racks being funded in parks with existing bike racks, an additional survey be
conducted after the Bicycle Parking Ordinance is adopted. It is also possible that once
the Check-in Center near Lions Park becomes more fully utilized, additional bike racks
may not be needed at these locations.
CONCERNS RAISED BY THE COMMUNITY
Certain concerns were raised at the first reading of the proposed ordinance. This part of
the Council Agenda Report addresses those concerns.
Ordinance enforcement.
This ordinance has raised concerns that it will be applied in a discriminatory manner
against the homeless and against low income individuals. While discriminatory application
of any law is a possibility with any law, the City Attorney's Office will continue to work with
the Police Department and City Staff to ensure that the ordinance is applied even-
handedly.
Additionally, it should be noted that the ordinance will not be enforced until the required
number of bicycle racks are installed at the appropriate locations throughout the City. City
staff is in the process of conducting a comprehensive survey to determine where and how
many bicycle racks will be needed. Signage will also be provided.
3
Clarification on the Check -In Center provided by the Churches Consortium.
The purpose of the Check -In Center provided by the Churches Consortium is to have
storage available for the personal property of Costa Mesa homeless only. The Check -In
Center will not store bicycles and is located just over a mile from Lions' Park. The Check -
In Center's availability allows Costa Mesa homeless to store their personal belongings in a
safe and clean environment, so that if they have a bicycle that they use for transportation,
it can be parked lawfully.
Bikes at bus stops.
It has come to the City's attention that some bicycles are parked at City bus stops. People
ride their bicycle to the bus stop, tie them there, and then take the bus to work. The
bicycles are retrieved on the way back from work. The City will include bus stops in its
survey to determine which bus stops require bicycle racks so that people who use the bus
to get to work can do so without fear of having their bicycles impounded.
The survey.
The City is conducting a survey to determine where bicycle racks will be needed, and in
what number. Absent an appropriate number of bike racks, the ordinance cannot be
effectively enforced. The survey is being conducted at City parks, and will later be
expanded to other locations such as bus stops. The parks survey will be completed
around the end of August 2012.
Schedule of fees.
The Police Department, City staff and the City Attorney's Office will provide the City
Council with a proposed schedule of impound fees. The goal of the ordinance is to
encourage people to park their bicycles on bike racks and to make it inconvenient, but not
a hardship, not to do so. The proposed schedule of fees will reflect that goal.
Clarification of bike rack ordinance application.
The bike rack ordinance only applies to bicycles parked on public property and on semi-
public property (i.e., private property to which the public has access), and it does not apply
to bikes parked on private property.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
The City can choose not to adopt the proposed Bike- Parking Ordinance and continue to
allow bikes to be parked and locked to public infrastructure and or other facilities.
FISCAL REVIEW:
This ordinance will not generate any new financial obligations to the City of Costa Mesa.
Depending on the number of fines for improperly locked bicycles, the ordinance will
possibly generate a small amount of revenue, and this revenue will be used to offset
any storage costs associated with the impounding of bicycles.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney's office has reviewed and approved the attached municipal ordinance
as to form and content.
CONCLUSION:
Currently the existing municipal code does not address bicycles being parked in the city
outside of bicycle racks. The adoption of this municipal code will give the Costa Mesa
Police Department the proper tool to improve access and the visual character of the
streets in the City of Costa Mesa. The consolidation of bicycles in approved racks
should reduce the blight and thefts associated with bicycles spread throughout the city.

pedestrians and per. s entering and leaving vehicles and buildings.
B: Bicycles so located on public property as to cause an inconvenience or danger to
persons using public rights -of —way and semi-public rights-of-way, and as to cause an
unsightly appearance, constitute public nuisances,
C. These factors constitute an unreasonable interference with and obstruction of the use
of the public rights -of —way and semi-public rights-of-way, are injurious to health,

D. The governing body recognizes, however, that many residents use bicycles as a
primary means of transportation as well as for recreational purposes, as a means to visit
the downtown business district and that adequate facilities need to be in place for the
safe and secure parking and storage of these bicycles. These competing interests
require a reasonable accommodation which can be satisfactorily achieved through this
Ordinance, designed to provide for the placement of bicycle parking racks and to
regulate the place and manner of bicycle parking on public property and in public rights-
of-way and .semi-public rights-of-way in the city.

Methodology:
Survey: The survey was conducted over a three-day period. Peak afternoon, latealle noon, and morning times were picked to anticipate the &nes most likely to harp a signIucant amount
of people. The analysts was performed near the beginning of summer because this represents a ilme of year with a high prevalence of bicyclists. To estimate the need, we took the
madmum number of bikes observed over the different survey limes and based the demand needed on that figure.
Total Bikes Observed refers to the total number of bikes parked property and improperly at the time of survey.
Bikes Parked In Racks refers to the number of bikes property parked in bike ratio.
PYdsltnp Bre Rade Capactly Is the number of bike rack spaces the park eumartlfy has.
Methodology:
Demand by % of Parking is a calculation matted employed by some U.S. etlles (such as Boulder, CO; Huntington Beads, CA: Irvine, CA; Bend, Of)
which requires bicyde parking capacity to be a percentage oftha number orauromob0e spaces provlded. For this analysis, a standard of 5% of
parking spaces, but no toss than 3 bOro spaces, was used. The S% was used as a figure that is lower than docs with a largo bU tng eomrrtunity
(Boulder. CO), but also higher than cities with a smaller bndng community (lrvine, Huntington Beach). The site or a biking community was
determined by the number of workers over the age 16 who bike to work as calculated in the 2006-2010 American Community Survey, 50801.
Additionally. 5% orvehicle parking spaces was used because 5% is the recommended supply for short-term binycle parking for visitors according to
the 2010 California Green Building Code. Section 5.100.4,
