PAGE 20
installation and use of such charging stations. This chapter is also purposed to comply
with California Government Code Section 65850.7.
15.11.020 Definitions.
For the purposes of this chapter, the following definitions shall apply:
(a) "Electric vehicle charging station" or"charging station" means any level of electric
vehicle supply equipment station that is designed and built in compliance with Article 625
of the California Electrical Code, as it reads on the effective date of this chapter, and
delivers electricity from a source outside an electric vehicle into a plug-in electric vehicle.

policies, or conditions as they existed on the date the application was deemed complete.
(c) "Electronic submittal" means the utilization of one or more of the following:
a. Electronic mail or email.
b. The internet.
c. Facsimile.
15.11.030 Expedited permitting process.
Consistent with Government Code Section 65850.7, the Building Official shall implement
an expedited, streamlined permitting process for electric vehicle charging stations, and
adopt a checklist of all requirements with which electric vehicle charging stations shall
comply with in order to be eligible for expedited review. The expedited, streamlined
permitting process and checklist may refer to the recommendations contained in the most
current version of the "Plug-In Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Permitting Checklist" of the
"Zero-Emission Vehicles in California: Community Readiness Guidebook" as published by
the Governor's Office of Planning and Research. The City's checklist shall be published

installation of an electric vehicle charging station will not have specific, adverse impact to
public health and safety and building occupants. Verification by the applicant includes, but
is not limited to: electrical system capacity and loads; electrical system wiring, bonding
and overcurrent protection; building infrastructure affected by charging station equipment
and associated conduits; areas of charging station equipment and vehicle parking.
ORDINANCE NO. 721
PAGE 21
(b) A permit application that satisfies the information requirements in the City's adopted
checklist shall be deemed complete and be promptly processed. Upon confirmation by the
Building Official that the permit application and supporting documents meet the
requirements of the City's checklist, and are consistent with all applicable laws and health
and safety standards, the Building Official shall, consistent with Government Code
Section 65850.7, approve the application and issue all necessary permits. Such approval
does not authorize an applicant to energize or utilize the electric vehicle charging station
until a final inspection is approved by the City. If the Building Official determines that the
permit application is incomplete, he or she shall issue a written correction notice to the
applicant, detailing all deficiencies in the application and any additional information
required to be eligible for expedited permit issuance.
(c) Consistent with Government Code Section 65850.7, the Building Official shall allow

shall also accept electronic signatures on all forms, applications, and other documentation
in lieu of a wet signature by any applicant.
15.11.050 Technical review.
(a) It is the intent of this chapter to encourage the installation of electric vehicle charging
stations by removing obstacles to permitting for charging stations so long as the action
does not supersede the Building Official's authority to address higher priority life-safety
situations.
(b) In the technical review of a charging station, consistent with Government Code
Section 65850.7, the Building Official shall not condition the approval for any electric
vehicle charging station permit on the approval of such a system by an association, as
that term is defined by Civil Code Section 4080.
15.11.060 Electric vehicle charging station installation requirements.
(a) Electric vehicle charging station equipment shall meet the requirements of the

company regarding safety and reliability.
(b) Installation of electric vehicle charging stations and associated wiring, bonding,
disconnecting means and overcurrent protective devices shall meet the requirements of
Article 625 and all applicable provisions of the California Electrical Code.
