November 12, 2024 St. Anthony Council Work Session - 4 Councilmember Doolan stated a developer has a way to recoup their expense for adding EV. She wants to make sure Council is going in a direction to support residents. Councilmember Jenson stated we need to start planning for it. It is good to have something on the books that will address EV. Councilmember Randle stated he has a problem with “requiring”. Councilmember Jenson stated a developer is not going to put in anything that is not required. Councilmember Randle agreed. Mayor Webster stated she would support number 3 as well. She likes that it depends on the number of parking spaces in the parking lot. We are looking at mid-size multi-family projects where there could be some requirements. Three of the Councilmembers are in favor of option 3. Mr. Grittman stated this can come up before the Planning Commission for consideration and recommendation. Councilmember Jenson asked if this will apply to the GreenStep program. Mr. Yunker stated it would apply to the GoldLeaf program. Councilmember Doolan stated this helps us meet our Climate Action Goals. Mr. Yunker stated this was one of the items to be discussed. She asked if there is anything in the Comprehensive Plan and Mr. Grittman stated the Comprehensive Plan is vague on this. Mr. Yunker summarized Option 3 is the consensus of the Council. Mr. Grittman stated most projects coming forward will be Planned Unit Developments. Councilmember Doolan stated the MPCA has a grant that is available for assistance with EV charging stations.
