Board discusses EV‑charging spots and ADA dimensions; staff will check Access Board guidance
Summary
Members agreed that accessible EV‑charging stalls should generally mirror ADA parking dimensions, but staff will check US Access Board guidance to ensure consistency between ADA and building/parking codes.
Board members examined a confusing sentence in draft language about EV charging and accessibility. Staff explained the intent is that accessible EV charging stalls should provide the same dimensions as ADA parking so people with disabilities can reach charging equipment from their vehicle.
A committee member urged staff to check whether the US Access Board has specific guidance that might affect local implementation; staff agreed to confirm whether federal guidance creates any conflicts with local code language. No changes were adopted; staff will report back.
