Parking for electric vehicles; electric vehicle charging systems., subsection (c), identify a compliance trigger for existing places of public accommodation that are not subject to Plan Approval requirements (e.g., come into compliance within a certain amount of time from the code change, based on public complaints, etc.) 8. Clarify the apparent conflict between the number of parking stalls required for each EV charger vs. each plug on an EV charger. The Director recommended that Section 25-4- 54.1. Parking for electric vehicles; electric vehicle charging systems., subsection (e) be amended to match Councilmember Kimball's proposed changes to Section 25-4- 54.1 (a) that require the number of dedicated EV parking stalls to match the number of required plugs. 9. Under Section 25-4-54.1. Parking for electric vehicles; electric vehicle charging systems., subsection (f), consider articulating requirements for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible EV parking spaces. Councilmember Kimball's proposed amendments added the requirement that at least one (1) of the designated EV parking spaces shall be an ADA accessible EV stall. The Director agreed with this proposed change and recommended that the Commission adopt the change. 10. Under Section 25-4-54.1. Parking for electric vehicles; electric vehicle charging systems., subsection (h), define what is considered a "reasonable" fee due to the subjectivity of reasonableness. Councilmember Kimball's proposed amendments deleted the "reasonable" qualifier. The Director agreed with this proposed change and recommended that the Commission adopt the change. 11. Under Section 25-4-54.2. Alternatives and exemptions; parking for electric vehicles; electric vehicle charging systems., subsection (a), include a ratio, formula, or equivalency table to compare the charging capacity between alternating current Level 2 charger and a direct current fast charger. Councilmember Kimball's proposed amendments added a ratio allowing one (1) DC fast charger to replace six (6) Level 2 plugs, as long as there is at least one (1) other Level 2 plug to accommodate EVs that cannot charge on a DC fast charger. The Director agreed with this proposed change and recommended that the Commission adopt the change.
