Community Invited to Discuss EV Charging Requirements Code Change
TUCSON, AZ (November 12, 2024) – The City of Tucson Planning and Development Services Department (PDSD) invites the community to join a virtual meeting to learn about upcoming proposed changes to regulations for electric vehicle (EV) charging in Tucson and provide input. In connection with proposed changes to parking standards being reviewed under the Community Corridors Tool (CCT) code amendments, PDSD is evaluating existing EV charging standards under current parking requirements.
Mayor and Council adopted electric vehicle supply equipment regulations in 2022 to establish standards for electric vehicle readiness in new commercial and multi-family construction. These requirements are intended to expand access to charging infrastructure through a phased approach by ensuring that new development provides EV infrastructure for current and future users in Tucson.
PDSD staff conducted a community survey of the implementation of the regulations to evaluate their effectiveness. Based on the survey results and feedback provided by Mayor and Council at their September 11, 2024 Study Session, areas of potential adjustments to the code were identified. These relate to requirements for site expansion and establishing a path to the correct size of EV requirements when less parking is provided, which are being proposed.
Staff invites the community to attend the meeting below to provide feedback on the proposed modifications to Tucson’s electric vehicle charging standards.
