Planning Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />September 9, 2021 <br />Page 5 of 6 <br />Diehl stated that they always had the off -ramp of the PUD waiver. <br />Discussion of the wiring process during installation. <br />Howe stated that he wanted to recognize the stress put on utility companies and <br />wondered if a 100% rate for multi -family would have the necessary electricity. <br />Hoefner replied that that was a problem for the electric utilities to deal with and they <br />knew that EVs were coming in huge numbers. <br />Brauneis agreed with Commissioner Hoefner that it was in the utility companies' plans <br />and was their job to figure out. <br />Discussion on percentages, in which it was weighed whether waivers could be used to <br />encourage people to higher rates and the limitations of aspirational language was <br />discussed, and the commissioners discussed a 35% requirement. <br />Diehl stated that going from 0 to up to 35% required was a pretty significant jump and <br />could be revisited down the line. <br />Hoefner proposed 5%/10%/50% for multi -family to recognize changing technology and <br />that not many folks today used EVs but that was expected to go up. <br />Howe stated that multi -family should have a high percentage of "capable" with conduits <br />in and he wondered how the hotel/motel use would have to be installed incentive -wise. <br />Hoefner stated that the problem chicken and egg, problem is to get the capacity there <br />so the hotel is ready to go and put in the charging station in. <br />Hoefner stated that they were trying to get the capacity high enough for eventual high <br />demand, and that it might be cost -prohibitive to retrofit. <br />Brauneis stated that the hotels were more closely linked to the market and suggested <br />10/10/40% for discussion. <br />Hoefner confirmed that his proposed spread was for multi -family and hotel/motel, <br />though he did not feel strongly about the hotel/motel level. He stated that they should go <br />as high as they're comfortable for multi -family with parking lots because why should <br />people there have less access than people in single-family homes. <br />Discussion about separating hotel/motel and multi -family categories, in which Hoefner <br />stated that single and multi -family units should have the same amount of access and <br />that he was not as concerned with hotel/motel amount being the same. <br />Diehl stated that he was fine with the 5/10/50% spread. <br />Brauneis proposed 10/10/50%. <br />13 <br />
