EV Parking Summary Sheet
Electric Vehicle (EV) Parking Standards
Code Sections Affected
Section 2.3,
Definitions and
Terms
Section 5.1.2,
Minimum Off-Street
Parking Standards
Key Intent
• Create clear standards that everyone understands.
• Allow for easier and less expensive modifications to install future charging
stations.
• Consider needs of citizens that may not be met by the current market, including
accessibility.
Changes
• Definition for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations is expanded and
descriptions of charging levels are added. (See Section 2.3, Definitions
and Terms)
• EV-ready means that the spaces are designated on the site plan and
installation of the conduit required to run electricity to EV charging
stations shall be required at construction. The public comment draft has
been modified to remove the requirement for installation of wiring since
that can degrade over time and may not be appropriate prior to
installation of charging stations. (See Section 5.1.2.D.1, Minimum Off-
Street Parking Standards)
• Electric Vehicle Parking Space Design Requirements are outlined,
including size, equipment protection, signage and usage fees where
applicable. (See Section 5.1.2.D.2, Minimum Off-Street Parking
Standards)
• Minimum standards for accessible EV Parking Spaces are outlined. (See
Section 5.1.2.D.3, Minimum Off-Street Parking Standards)
• Language stating “sites that are designed with the conduit already laid for
the EV Charging stations are exempt from subsection (a) above” has
been removed. This was a vestige of a prior draft that staff had intended
to remove prior to release for public comment.
