AGENDA REPORT
TO: Mayor Mike Naggar/Council Member Matt Rahn
FROM: Luke Watson, Director of Community Development
DATE: August 23, 2016
SUBJECT: Main Street Pedal Coach in Old Town Temecula
PREPARED BY: Scott Cooper, Project Planner III
BACKGROUND
On May 9, 2016, Main Street Pedal Coach submitted a Pre-Application for a pedal powered
"bike bus" for tours and events in Old Town Temecula. These events could include, but are not
limited to, pub crawls, progressive dinners, historic tours, and special events. Since the
submittal of the Pre-Application, city staff has had several meetings, phone calls, and email
exchanges in regards to the project with the applicant including a pre-application meeting with
planning at the planning counter.
STATE SENATE BILL 530
State Senate Bill No. 530 (SB 530), which passed into law and became effective January 2016,
expanded Section 467.5 of the State Vehicle Code's definition of a "pedicab" to include any 4-
wheeled device that is primarily or exclusively pedal-powered; has a seating capacity for 8 or
more passengers; cannot travel in excess of 15 miles per hour; and, is being used for
transporting passengers for hire. The bill also establishes the allowance for alcohol
consumption by passengers and gives local agencies the power to adopt their own governing
ordinance.
In addition, the legislation imposes specific requirements on these operations, including, but not
limited to:
o local authorization to operate
o a maximum seating capacity for 15 passengers
o no operation on any highway with a posted speed limit in excess of 30 miles per hour
o operator qualifications and training
o safety equipment, inspections, financial responsibility
o reporting of accidents to the Department of California Highway Patrol
o requirement for loading and unloading of passengers, and general operations of
pedicabs
o the consumption of alcoholic beverages
CONSIDERATIONS
o How would a pedicab be permitted? The City of Sacramento issues actual pedicab
permits and pedicab driver permits. Since there is not a physical location for a pedicab a
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) would not be appropriate as findings for approval of a
CUP are site specific. Another consideration would be to issue an encroachment permit
for each pedicab that would be required to be renewed on a yearly basis. Conditions
which normally are placed on CUP's could then be used with an encroachment permit.
o Per SB 530 a pedicab shall not load or unload passengers on roadways. Given the
traffic, width of streets, and existing parallel parking in the Old Town Area the loading
and unloading of passenger's poses a concern that would need to be mitigated.
o The size of the Pedal Coach is 6'-3" wide by 20'-5" long, which is comparable to a crew
cab/short bed Ford F350 pick-up truck. Given the width of streets in Old Town and the
requirements that a pedicab not load or unload passengers on roadways, designated
drop-off and pick-up locations may be required.
o The operation of a pedicab would require designated routing in an effort to not impede
the traffic of Old Town Temecula.
o Due to the restrictions on the types of roadways that the pedal coach is allowed on by
SB 530, the streets in which the business operation would be permitted is a very limited
area. These operations are typically found in larger cities (Austin, Sacramento, San
Diego, and San Francisco) with a much greater operation area. In addition, due to the
size of the pedal cab, use of the trails system along the creek would be prohibited.
WHAT WOULD BE REQUIRED?
Per SB 530, a pedicab, with or without an alcohol component, shall be authorized by local
ordinance or resolution to operate. City staff would most likely be required to perform research
and draft a pedicab ordinance that adheres to the legislation detailed in SB 530 and
incorporates additional requirements and restrictions by the City of Temecula that would
ultimately be presented to the City Council for a decision.

LEGISLATIVE INFORMATION
SB-530 Pedlcabs. (2015-2016)
Senate Bill No.530
CHAPTER 496
An act to amend Sections 467.5 and 23229 of, and to add Article 4.5 (commencing with Section 21215)
to Chapter 1 of Division 11 of, and to repeal Section 21215.2 of, the Vehicle Code, relating to vehicles.
[ Approved by Governor October 04, 2015. Filed with Secretary of State
October 04, 2015. I
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 530, Pan. Pedicabs.
Existing law generally regulates the operation of bicycles, including, among other things, providing that a
person operating a bicycle on the highway has all the rights and is subject to all the provisions applicable to the
driver of a vehicle, Including a prohibition against operating a bicycle while under the influence of an alcoholic
beverage or any drug. These provisions also apply to a pedicab, as defined. A violation of the provisions
regulating the operation of a bicycle or pedicab is an offense.
This bill would expand the definition of a pedicab to include a 4-wheeled device that is pnmanly or exclusively
pedal-powered, has a seating capacity for 8 or more passengers, cannot travel in excess of 15 miles per hour,
and is being used for transporting passengers for hire, as prescribed. Tile bill would impose specified
requirements on these pedicabs defined by the bill, relating to, among other things, a maximum seating
capacity for 15 passengers, local authorization to operate, operator qualifications and training, safety
equipment, Inspections, financial responsibility, reporting of accidents to the Department of the California
Highway Patrol, the loading and unloading of passengers, and general operation of pedicabs. The bill would,
until January 1, 2020, establish requirements for pedicabs that allow passenger alcohol consumption. Because a
violation of these provisions would be a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs
mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
Vote: majority Appropriation: no Fiscal Committee: yes Local Program: yes
