Council adopts EV‑parking code and grants private club permit to Favi's on Front Street
Summary
Council approved ordinance O25‑35 to add EV charging stations to the parking code (paid charging, must be plugged in to count as EV parking) and ordinance O25‑36 granting a private club permit to GFH Corporation (Favi's Mexican & Italian) at 1023 Front Street. Both passed 8‑0.
The Conway City Council unanimously approved two community‑development ordinances: O25‑35, which updates the municipal parking code to recognize EV charging stations as designated electric vehicle parking, and O25‑36, which grants a private club permit to GFH Corporation doing business as Favi’s Mexican and Italian restaurant at 1023 Front Street. Both ordinances passed 8‑0.
Felicia Rogers, community development staff, explained the EV change was prompted by Conway Corporation’s installation of two EV charging stations at Front Street; the ordinance adds EV charging spots to the parking code so the city can enforce use for charging vehicles only. Rogers confirmed charging is paid by the user and the code defines EV parking as a plugged‑in vehicle; a vehicle simply parked but not plugged in does not meet the definition.
On the private club permit, applicant Gracie Reyes stated her name and address for the record and the council recorded the permit approval. Council members welcomed the restaurant and noted the convenience of having Mexican and Italian options in the same location.
Votes: O25‑35 — approved 8‑0. O25‑36 — approved 8‑0.
