How can we address locations that do not have excess parking spaces and currently, cannot pass through plan check because the code says it’s now a “charging space” not a “parking space”? With the current requirements, you need more Van Accessible and ADA reserved parking spaces than required under code with the combination of EV charging and standard spaces. It puts an impossible burden on small parking lots in Irvine and San Diego which are strictly enforcing the interpretation of charging spaces.

We are also being asked to show the future space for the 1 Van accessible EV space that would be required in the future, if the equipment was installed. And due to the requirement for the access aisle beside this space, in the future it would be converted to an access aisle resulting in the loss of one parking space. As this project is right at the required number of parking spaces per zoning, it is not acceptable to the zoning reviewer to sign off on a plan that shows a “future access aisle for future EV van accessible charging space,” as they are approving the loss of a parking space, even though this would not happen until a future condition, upon which I assume there would be some review process for installation of EV charging equipment. What is the appropriate path forward in this situation?
