My California Common is still bubbling at a rate of about once every 20 sec. and it's been 11 days since I pitched the yeast. It takes two ice changes a day to keep the temp below 62*. I want to brew another ale, but am worried about the temp in my water bath going up too high for the SF Lager Yeast. How long do I need to keep the temp below 64* for this yeast?

How high are you thinking of letting it go? I've used it often up to 69 with no ill results.

what's your ambient temp? at this point, it's not a bad idea to let it warm up to 68-70F to clean up and finish it off. at this rate of fermentation, i think it's unlikely to go much above ambient, if it does at all.
if you haven't already, listen to the brewing network/jamil's podcast on the style. there is a discussion of benefits of the temp ramp up at the end of fermentation.
