45.20 SPECIFIC REGULATIONS FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING SPACES
Electric vehicle charging equipment may only be installed when accessory to the primary permitted use.
No more than 10% of the total number of required parking spaces may be designated as electric vehicle charging spaces.
Each charging space shall be posted with signage indicating the space is only for electric vehicle charging purposes. Days and hours of operations shall be
included if time limits or tow away provisions are to be enforced by the owner. Information identifying voltage and amperage levels or safety information must be
posted.
Design should be appropriate to the location and use. Facilities should be able to be readily identified by electric vehicle drivers but blend into the surrounding
landscape/architecture for compatibility with the character and use of the site.
Equipment shall be located so as not to impede pedestrian travel, create trip hazards on sidewalks, or interfere with accessibility requirements.
Regulations for the electric vehicle charging equipment and spaces shall be established in the specific use permit. These regulations may include but are not
limited to location; size of equipment; signage, including directional signage (if any); and lighting (if any).
Additionally, in granting or denying an application for a specific use permit, the City Council shall take into consideration the following factors:
a. Safety of the motoring public and of pedestrians using the facility and the area immediately surrounding the site.
b. Safety from fire hazard, and measures for fire control.
c. Protection of adjacent property from flood or water damage.
d. Noise producing elements; and glare of vehicular and stationary lights and effect of such lights on established character of the neighborhood.
e. Location, lighting and type of signs; and relation of signs to traffic control and adverse effect on adjacent properties.
f. Street size and adequacy of pavement width for traffic and reasonably expected to be generated by the proposed use around the site and in the immediate
neighborhood.
g. Adequacy of parking, as determined by requirements of this chapter for off-street parking facilities for similar uses; location of ingress and egress points for
parking and off-street loading spaces; and protection of the public health by all-weather surfacing on all parking areas to control dust.
h. Such other measures as will secure and protect the public health, safety, morals and general welfare.
i. City Council may grant variances to specific regulations associated with a specific use set forth in Sections 45. To receive a variance, the applicant must
demonstrate one of the following (As amended by Ordinance No. 480-MMMM):
(a) A variance will reduce the impact of the project on surrounding residential properties; or
(b) Compliance with this ordinance would impair the architectural design or creativity of the project; or
(c) A variance is necessary to assure compatibility with surrounding developed properties; or
(d) The proposed construction is an addition to an existing project that does not meet the requirements of this ordinance.
