Planning Commission Meeting Minutes February 09, 2023 Page 14 of 15 Brauneis mentions that there are two EV charging stations at the 7-Eleven. Choi says it seems like many of us have asked for data that supports some initiative or another. He wonders if we can get more data on what the right number could be. Brauneis asks if he wants to continue this. Choi agrees. Brauneis says he is leaning towards two. Zuccaro says there are ten pumps at the 7-Eleven. He mentions that City Council required the two charging stations and that they be fast speed. Choi asks if it could be 20% instead of just two pumps. Brauneis says he is comfortable with 20% or a minimum of two pumps, whichever is greater. Zuccaro asks if that would be in addition to our other EV charging standards that do not require a level three. Choi says if it already satisfies the requirement then that is fine as long it is 20% or two, whichever is greater. Zuccaro says our base requirement is a percentage of the number of parking spaces required and then it has to have all three categories of installed, capable, and ready. He thinks staff could come up with language so that the ordinance requires a minimum of two level threes and meet the base code. This would count towards the base code as well. Choi says he is okay with directing staff to draft that language for City Council. Krantz says she thinks they are working really hard on something that does not exist yet such as the big box retail store. Choi says this is drafting language for the qualifications of this requirement. This would be for the exemption or new gas pumps put in. Brauneis moves and Moline seconds a motion to approve Resolution 6, 2023 with two conditions. The first being that any new gasoline station would have to provide either 20% or a minimum of two level three or above charging stations, whichever is greater. The second is to remove the word "integral" and replace it with "accessory." This approval is also contingent upon removing the third whereas paragraph from the draft language. Motion passes unanimously by a roll call vote. Planning Commission Comments Howe mentions past Commissioner Hoefner accepting a City Council position. Krantz mentions it was great getting a letter from our soon to be commissioner and she is looking forward to working with her. Staff Comments Zuccaro mentions a possible,additional Planning Commission meeting on March 23 for discussing Accessory Dwelling Units. Kay Marchetti discusses a hybrid open house on February 16 for Marshall Fire victims. Depending on feedback from that open house, staff could be bringing a draft ordinance on this topic to the March 23 meeting.
