{ Maile David, Council Chair and Members of the County Council County of Hawaii June 21, 2022 Page 4 12. Under Section 25-4-54.2. Alternatives and exemptions; parking for electric vehicles; electric vehicle charging systems., subsection (b), consider adding an exemption for locations that do not have established internet access. In addition to the Planning Director's recommendations (as amended) outlined above, Councilmember Kimball recommended the following additional amendments to the bill: 1. Delete Section 25-4-54.1. Parking for electric vehicles; electric vehicle charging systems., subsection (g), which states: "Every parking facility that meets the size criteria must comply with the requirements of this section regardless of ownership, except as otherwise provided in section 25-4-54.2." The deletion was recommended because the "regardless of ownership" qualifier contradicts the aggregation privilege allowed in HRS 291-71. The Director agreed with this proposed change and recommended that the Commission adopt the change. 2. Under Section 25-4-54.1. Parking for electric vehicles; electric vehicle charging systems, add the following language with the appropriate subsection item lettering: "(x) Electric vehicle charging stations shall only be required to be available for use by the public during such times as the place of public accommodation is also open for public use." The Director agreed with this proposed change and recommended that the Commission adopt the change. 3. Amend Section 25-4-54.2. Alternatives and exemptions; parking for electric vehicles; electric vehicle charging systems., subsection (b)(1) to read as follows: "(1) The location does not have established electrical service or lacks adequate electrical infrastructure to provide 240 Volt electrical service for electric vehicle charger implementation." The Director agreed with this proposed change and recommended that the Commission adopt the change. 4. Under Section 3. Definitions., amend the definition for "electric vehicle charging system," "alternating current Level 2 charging station," and "direct current fast charger" to delete references to installation compliance with article 625 of the National Electrical Code as it is already covered by Chapter 5D of the Hawaii County Code. The Director agreed with this proposed change and recommended that the Commission adopt the change.
