Statement of Issue: Currently there is no provision in the Municipal Code prohibiting,
controlling, or restricting the use of bicycles, motor vehicles, skateboards, in-line
skates or any other items described in 13.12.050 (c, e, and f) of the Huntington Beach
Municipal Code on the new Pier Plaza or adjacent areas.
Request an emergency ammendment to the above described Municipal Code
ordinance to modify the ordinance to control the use of these items on the described
area. Bicycles, motor vehicles, skateboards, in-line skates, etc., would raise a very
serious safety issue, as well as maintanence issue, and their usage should be
regulated.
Funding Source: N/A
Recommended Action: Approve the emergency ammendment to Municipal Code
section 13.12.050 (c,e, and f) prohibiting, controlling, or restricting the use of bicycles,
motor vehicles, skateboards, in-line skates or any other items as described in this
section from the new Pier Plaza area.
Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the emergency ammendment, leaving the use
of these items unregulated

Analysis: Traditionally the use of bicycles, motor vehicles, skateboards, in-line skates
or any other items described in 13.12.050 (c, e, and f) of the Huntington Beach
Municipal Code have been regulated on Main Street as well as the Pier. As currently
worded, the City Attorney's Office has determined that Pier Plaza would not be
included in the restricted area covered by this ordinance. An emergency ordinance is
needed, as the normal 30 day passage time would not permit our police officers to
regulate the use of these items at Pier Plaza from the date of it's official opening on
June 5, 1998. This could present a safety hazard to others using the area.
