Agenda Item C

12C. E-Bike Safe Riding Practices and Municipal Code Enhancement Review. Environmental Considerations: The action being considered by the City Council is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a "project" under Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. The action is also exempt from CEQA under Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines because it involves an organizational or administrative activity of government that will not result in the direct or indirect physical change in the environment. Contact Person: Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Director Knopp Recommended Action: Discuss and determine changes to the Encinitas Municipal Code to improve the regulation of the operation of electric bicycles (e-bikes) to improve safety for e-bike riders and pedestrians. 2026-08-19 Item 12C E-Bike Safety Ordinance
