Commissioners split on EV charging counts as application moves forward

Apr 24, 2026

Commissioners debated tradeoffs between providing more Level 2 EV stalls (about 17 required by code) and the applicant’s proposal of eight Level 3 fast chargers; staff said the installer’s letter justified the proposed configuration and the site could add more chargers later if needed.

Commissioners asked whether reducing Level 2 charging stalls from the roughly 17 required by code to eight Level 3 fast chargers would under-serve future demand. Commissioner Bartel said, "My concern is I don't want it to be underserved...If we go from 17 to 8, that's pretty significant." Staff noted the applicant submitted a manufacturer's letter justifying the proposed fast-charger configuration and that the site is provisioned to add more chargers in the future.
