RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA APPROVING THE SHARED MICRO-
MOBILITY DEVICE PILOT PROGRAM PERMIT
REQUIREMENTS IN THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AND
AUTHORIZING THE CITY ENGINEER TO AMEND THE
PERMIT REQUIREMENTS
WHEREAS, the Shared Micro-Mobility Device Pilot Program (“Pilot Program”) was
developed to encourage the use of non-personal vehicles while managing the deployment of
shared mobile devices within the City; and
WHEREAS, the goal of Chula Vista’s Pilot Program is to:
1. Support an active, healthy lifestyle;
2. Ensure affordable and equitable service;
3. Fill mobility gaps and improve “First Mile/Last Mile” connections to transit;
4. Provide a low-carbon mobility option to reduce carbon emissions;
5. Manage public space to ensure sidewalks are organized and free from obstruction;
6. Derive insights into the use of the bike share system, compliance issues, and
targeted bike infrastructure investments with robust data partnerships; and
WHEREAS, the Pilot Program plans to utilize GPS data collected from each device for
research and analysis to develop usage trends citywide. This information will be valuable for
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) project planning and future grant opportunities; and
WHEREAS, the fees and application requirements were intended to ensure the City does
not assume any fiscal impacts or liability due to the operation of the various shared micro-
mobility device vendors; and
WHEREAS, Article XIII C of the California Constitution requires a vote of the electorate
to increase all taxes imposed by local government; and
WHEREAS, Article XIII C of the California Constitution defines a tax to mean any levy,
charge, or exaction of any kind imposed by a local government, unless specifically exempted;
and
WHEREAS, the proposed fees for the Pilot Program are exempt from the definition of a
tax per Section 1(e)(4) of Article XIII C, which exempts charges imposed for entrance to or use
of local government property; and
WHEREAS, due to the constantly evolving shared micro-mobility device industry, it is
necessary that these permit requirements be considered iterative and allow for updates on
occasion; and
