Commission flags equity in EV infrastructure planning, suggests zoning updates
Summary
The commission recommended focusing EV infrastructure and zoning updates on parking lots and multi‑family residences, emphasizing prioritization 'especially in low‑income areas.'
Commission members discussed EV infrastructure as a priority for zoning updates, with attention to parking lots and multi‑family residences. Participants highlighted the need to consider equity in deployment: "Especially in low‑income areas," the workshop notes state, indicating commissioners want EV policy to address access disparities.
The discussion positioned zoning changes as a way to enable charging infrastructure in commercial lots and multi‑family housing, and tied the recommendation to broader priorities such as tree canopy and signature events. Implementation will require staff input and likely coordination with zoning and planning commissions.
