HomeMy WebLinkAboutRESO 9716 Resolution No. 9716 Resolution of the Council of the City of Palo Alto Authorizing the City Manager to Establish a Pilot Program for the Operation of Personal Delivery Devices, also known as Autonomous Robots in the Public Rights of Way The Council of the City of Palo Alto RESOLVES as follows: SECTION 1. Findings and Declarations. a. The City of Palo Alto desires to implement a pilot program to temporarily allow the use of Personal Delivery Devices (PDDs), also known as Autonomous Robots for the purpose of delivering goods from Palo Alto businesses to Palo Alto customers. b. The use of the PDDs, activated by customers’ smartphones, will initiate the delivery of purchases when convenient for the customer and the robots will deliver the items directly to the customer’s location. c. PDD technology may reduce the inefficiencies associated with failed deliveries, facilitate the return of unwanted goods, and reduce the number of vehicle trips and the resultant emissions associated with the delivery of goods from local establishments. d. Palo Alto Municipal Code Chapter 12.09 sets forth regulations applicable to the operation and maintenance of equipment in the public rights of way and Chapter 12.12 authorizes the City Manager to issue permits for structures encroaching on public rights of way, but the City does not currently have a regulation that specifically addresses the operation of PDDs on City sidewalks, crosswalks and other public rights-of-way. e. PDDs are an emerging technology with an unproven track record with respect to public safety and impacts on the flow and circulation of pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicle traffic. Additional regulation is necessary to ensure the safe and harmonious use of sidewalks and public rights of way in the City of Palo Alto consistent with the public health and welfare. SECTION 2. Pilot Program Regulations. a. PDD means a motorized device used to transport items, products, or any other materials, and that is guided or controlled without a human operator sitting or standing upon and actively and physically controlling the movements of the device. b. The City Manager or his designee is hereby authorized to adopt, and from time to time amend, regulations governing the operation of PDDs within the City of Palo Alto. Such regulations shall address, at a minimum, the following topics: 1. Maximum speed; 2. Areas of operation; 3. Paths of travel; 4. Additional precautions to ensure safe and convenient pedestrian circulation. DocuSign Envelope ID: 4F77FD31-AA83-4867-8BC9-9F32EB22304D c. The pilot program authorized under this resolution shall expire upon the earlier of December 31, 2018 or the adoption of an ordinance regulating autonomous robots by the Palo Alto City Council. SECTION 3. Environmental Review. The Council finds that the adoption of this resolution is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility of a significant effect on the environment as a result of the PDD pilot program.

Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to these terms and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the 'I agree' button at the bottom of this document. Getting paper copies At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available electronically to you by us. For such copies, as long as you are an authorized user of the DocuSign system you will have the ability to download and print any documents we send to you through your DocuSign user account for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below. Withdrawing your consent If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures electronically is described below. Consequences of changing your mind If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format, and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must withdraw your consent using the DocuSign 'Withdraw Consent' form on the signing page of your DocuSign account. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your consent to receive required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer be able to use your DocuSign Express user account to receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents from us. All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide electronically to you through your DocuSign user account all required notices, disclosures, authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or made available to you during the course of our relationship with you.
