The one aspect of the comparison codes that raises a potential administrative issue is the suggestion <br />that a project may choose to only develop the electrical infrastructure for EV charging, but without <br />going the final step to provide the charging equipment. The language in the attached code draft <br />referring to that option is highlighted. In this version, the draft language is modified in an attempt to <br />create some limitation around that choice by inserting a timing deferral for final construction. <br />As with any deferral of this sort, there is an administrative burden in tracking the deferral, and then <br />enforcing the construction at a later date. The alternative would be to disallow the option for “electric <br />infrastructure only”. This approach could be simpler to administer, although it would offer less flexibility <br />for the property owner. <br />Apart from these exceptions, the draft creates a fixed percentage of charging units, distinguishing <br />between Level 1 and Level 2 requirements, based on land use (multi-family residential v. <br />commercial/industrial), and parking lot size (0-29 spaces, 30-49 spaces, and 50+ spaces). This draft <br />follows New Brighton’s structure, which is slightly less complex than the Roseville model, although the <br />two communities have comparable standards. <br />DRAFT ORDINANCE <br />The proposed ordinance would add to the existing Parking section of the code (§154.179). The proposed <br />language is a new section that reflects the ordinance models by Roseville and New Brighton. Proposed <br />language specific to Saint Anthony is highlighted in yellow. See the Draft Ordinance for specific language. <br />DISCUSSION ITEMS FOR COMMISSION FEEDBACK <br />• What input does the Parks & Environmental Commission wish to provide after reviewing the <br />draft language of the EV Charging Ordinance? <br />• With regards to the highlighted sections (A)(12)(f) of the draft ordinance, what feedback does <br />PEC have for the option to defer equipment installation apart from the initial development of <br />EV-ready infrastructure? <br />NEXT STEPS <br />PEC’s comments and suggestions from this work session will be considered as discussions continue <br />forward with the Planning Commission and City Council. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />• Draft Ordinance <br />
