bill. The Windward and Leeward Planning Commission's recommendations will be forwarded separately,but at the same time,to the County Council for their consideration and decision. Recommendation #1 Under Section 1. Purpose, correct the reference to the HRS section from 291-71 to 291-73. Reason: HRS 291-73 allows Counties to adopt ordinances to enforce the requirements of 291-71. Recommendation #2 Under Section 24-245. 6. Penalties correct the reference to Section 291-71 and delete the close quote at the end of the word `Statutes' at the end of the sentence. Reason: The bill incorrectly references HRS section 291-71, however, this section does not make references to any fines. The correct reference should be 291-72. The close quote after the word `Statutes' at the end of the sentence is likely a typo. Recommendation #3 Under section 3 of the draft bill, consider changing the term "Networked charger"to match what is in the body of the bill. Reason: The term, specifically as presented ("networked charger") is not used anywhere in the body of the bill. "Networked" is used four (4)times in Section 25-4-54.1(a) and the term,"Network-capable" is used in the definition of"Direct current fast charger." Consider expanding the term "Networked charger"to include those alternative references. Recommendation #4 Under Section 25-4-54.1 (a) Clarify the size/type of parking spaces required to be considered a `dedicated EV parking space under the requirements of this section.' Reason: The zoning code allows for different types of parking stalls for compliance with parking requirements (e.g., compact parking stalls). Consider adding the qualifier, `full- size' or provide specific, minimum dimensions required for a dedicated EV stall. Recommendation #5 Under Section 25-4-54.1 (a),clarify that the number of EV designated parking stalls shall correspond to the maximum number of plugs required under the development -7-
