Board questions adopting EV-charging appendix given land-development rules already in place
Summary
Staff flagged a new IECC appendix on electric-vehicle charging infrastructure (active vs. ready spaces and transformer sizing); members suggested not adopting the appendix because the land-development code already specifies EV parking requirements and local grid capacity issues remain unresolved.
Staff noted that the 2024 IECC appendices now include an electric-vehicle charging infrastructure appendix (appendix C/G) with requirements for percentages of active and 'ready' spaces and for electrical infrastructure capacity. Members warned the appendix contains detailed transformer and raceway sizing requirements that may not align with local land-development code requirements.
"Electric vehicle charging is now required in the land development code," the presenter said, noting that adoption of the appendix would impose additional technical and capacity requirements. Several members suggested not adopting the appendix because it could duplicate or conflict with existing local land-development code mandates and would require utility- and zoning-level coordination.
The board requested staff analysis of zoning and grid impacts and suggested learning from Overland Park's recent adoption experience before deciding whether to adopt the IECC appendix locally.
