A. The city will only issue shared-rideable permits to shared-rideable businesses that demonstrate the ability to meet the needs of the city and its residents. The city manager may adopt administrative procedures to implement the provisions of this chapter, including additional permit application standards and requirements, geographic restrictions, and maximum and minimum numbers of shared-rideables a shared- rideable business is permitted to operate based on the projected impact to city streets, sidewalks, paths, driveways, doorways, and other avenues of vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
B. The city will not issue a shared-rideable business permit or fleet expansion permit until the director of public works has:
1. Physically inspected the applicant's shared-rideables to ensure compliance with this chapter and applicable state laws; provided, however, that the director of public works may accept proof of compliance with this chapter and the applicable state requirements for the shared-rideables in lieu of conducting an inspection;
2. Received a determination from the director of community development that the proposed shared-rideable business location and storage location, if within the city, complies with applicable zoning regulations and other applicable laws;
3. Confirmed that the shared-rideable business has paid the necessary fees, identified in section 5.18.130; and
4. Confirmed that there are no grounds for denial in accordance with section 5.18.170 and that the requirements of any administrative procedures have been met.
C. The city manager may impose any conditions on a shared-rideable permit or fleet expansion permit to effectuate the purposes of this chapter, mitigate traffic impacts, ensure accessibility of the public right-of-way and availability of public space for shared use, and protect the public health, safety, and welfare. No shared-rideable business shall violate the conditions imposed on its permit. (Ord. 2021-0025 § 5; Ord. 2019-0007 § 1; Ord. 2018-0006 § 1)
