ATTACHMENTS (Items 11.1 and 11.2)
Item 11.1 --Resolution Regarding Dockless Electric Scooter & Bicycle Providers:
“Whereas, on or about April 13, 2019, the beloved pastor of a church in Pacific Palisades was seriously
injured in a hit-and-run accident recklessly caused by the user of a dockless electric scooter, who fled the
scene (on the sidewalk outside of the church rectory) and could not be immediately apprehended at the
time of the accident;
Whereas, any of us could be victims of such future reckless and unlawful conduct;
Whereas, the business providing the dockless electric scooter involved in the above accident refused to
provide information to law enforcement about the user or to reasonably assist in law enforcement’s
investigation of the accident, resulting in an inability to bring the user to justice or a significant delay in
justice;
Whereas, in the interest of public safety, every business providing dockless electric scooters and/or
bicycles (Dockless Mobility Devices) operating in the City of Los Angeles (City) should reasonably be
required to cooperate fully with law enforcement under the circumstances described above as a condition
of being granted a business license or Dockless Mobility Permit;
Whereas, such requirement of provider cooperation with law enforcement is necessary to protect the
safety of the public and does not unreasonably infringe on the privacy rights of users of Dockless Mobility
Devices;
Whereas, it is the responsibility of the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) and the City to
“promote safety. . . and improve the quality of life for the people of Los Angeles “ (LADOT Statement);
Whereas, prominent Dockless Mobility Device providers all publicly proclaim that the safety of riders and
the community is their “obsession” (Bird) or their “top” (Lyft) or “#1” (Lime) priority;
Whereas, Dockless Mobility Devices providers can reasonably provide notice to users in the “Terms of
Use” of their rental agreements that user information will be provided to law enforcement, upon request
by law enforcement, in the event of an accident involving injury to another person caused or claimed to
be caused by the operation of the Dockless Mobility Device;
3

PPCC Agenda 05.09.19
Now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that Pacific Palisades Community Council (PPCC) urges the City to (1) deny a business license
and/or Dockless Mobility Permit, or suspend and/or revoke any previously-issued business license and/or
Dockless Mobility Permit, to any provider of Dockless Mobility Devices operating in the City that fails or
refuses to cooperate fully with law enforcement in providing information about the user of its Dockless
Mobility Device involved in an accident causing injury to another person; (2) if and as necessary,
immediately enact additional regulations amending existing rules and/or data protection policies in the
City’s Dockless Mobility Pilot Program to provide for issuance of business licenses and/or Dockless
Mobility Permits only upon condition that providers cooperate fully with law enforcement under the
circumstances set forth above; and (3) provide for suspensions, followed by revocation hearings, of any
such licenses and/or permits issued to Dockless Mobility Device providers that fail or refuse to comply
fully with law enforcement under the circumstances set forth above; and
RESOLVED FURTHER, that PPCC send a copy of this resolution directly to Councilmember Mike Bonin and
to Mayor Eric Garcetti, as well as to all members of the Los Angeles City Council, to emphasize the
importance of this safety concern to the residents of Pacific Palisades.
Adopted: ________, 2019”

C. “[Pacific Palisades Community Council] requests that the City develop planning, zoning and leasing
regulations for co-living developments, which are residential in nature but have aspects of
hotels/transient occupancy. Issues include: 1. Length of leases; 2. Parking for “units,” which have larger
bedroom counts; 3. Compliance with density bonus ordinances – regulatory framework.”
Support/background: Co-living Developments; LA Co-living
D. “[Pacific Palisades Community Council] requests that the Housing and Community Investment Dept.
fully comply with the regulations of the State and City affordable housing density bonuses ordinances
(SB1818 and Prop. JJJ/TOC), per the concerns stated in the City Controller’s audit report of Jan. 2017. This
includes ensuring that developers properly register units and record covenants upon occupancy, properly
publicize and qualify low-income tenants and audit their status every year, assign the correct restricted
rent and review it every year, and conduct annual audits to ensure that the affordable units properly and
legally serve the intended population of low-income households of Los Angeles. HCID shall state how it
will change its processes to ensure compliance. The job performance metric of the HCID General Manager
shall reflect full compliance with the State and City’s affordable housing density bonus programs,
especially annual audits of tenants of those units and developers who lease those units.”
