not meant to be an exhaustive list. The intent of the bill is to be broadly inclusive of any places that meet the preceding criteria, regardless of who owns them. So, getting into the actual proposed amendments to Chapter 24. Bill 120 seeks to amend Chapter 24 with Section 24-245.5 Parking Privileges. By requiring that only electric vehicles, maybe parked in a parking space designated and marked as reserved for electric vehicles and only electric vehicles that are actively charging may be parked in a parking space equipped with an electric vehicle charging station. Furthermore, proposed Section 24-245.6 Penalties. Indicates that any person who uses a parking space in violation of the parking privileges section above shall be guilty of a traffic infraction and fined according to provisions in the HRS and those provisions are fine shall not be less than $50.00 nor more than $100.00 and the fined party must also pay any costs incurred by the Court related to assessing the fine. Moving on to proposed amendments to Chapter 25 our Zoning Code, they are as follows. The bill seeks to amend Chapter 25 with Section 25-4-54.1 Parking for Electric Vehicles, Electric Vehicle Charging Systems as follows. For any new parking areas in places of public accommodation and that's new as an after this bill is adopted. For each increment of fifty (50) parking stalls, an owner shall install and maintain in good working order at all times, electric vehicle chargers and dedicated electric vehicle parking spaces. Based on the schedule between adoption of the ordinance and the years 2023, 2025, 2027, and 2029 respectively on an increasing scale of required chargers and number of plugs and dedicated parking spaces depending on when the parking area is constructed. So, I've just provided a small table here that indicates that if you're building your parking lot and an area of public accommodation between 2025 and 2027 you need to have networks AC Level 2 Charger or Chargers that have at least six (6)plugs in that parking facility. Moving on now, the first section was for new parking facilities, the second section is for existing parking areas and places of public accommodation with over 50 parking stalls that need to come into the Planning Department to apply for Plan Approval (PA). The owner will have an additional two (2) years to come into compliance with the requirements as follows. So, instead of 2023 is the starting year we're starting at 2025 and going through 2031. Finally, all other existing parking areas and places of public accommodation that don't have a need to come in and apply for Plan Approval will need to comply with the requirements of HRS 291-71 which calls for 1 electric vehicle charger and one dedicated stall for each 100 parking spaces. I wanted to just make a quick note in my background and recommendation report I incorrectly identified that last section as needing to have at least 50 parking stalls. That's incorrect, this is essentially for any other parking area that meets the requirements of HRS that doesn't need to come in for Plan Approval would be required to follow HRS so that's 100 stalls or more. So, I'll just state that for the record and adjust the background and recommendation appropriately. So, for those parking areas that don't need to come in for Plan Approval, we asked the question kind of how this will be enforced? The answer is, it will likely be enforced by either proactive compliance on the part of the lot owner or based on public complaint for violations of the zoning code requirements that would come into the Planning Department.
