City Council

A. Consideration of an Ordinance Adding Chapter 15. 28 Electric Vehicle Charging Stations to Title 15 ( Building and Construction) to Provide an Expedited, Streamlined Permitting Process for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations In 2015, the State of California adopted Assembly Bill 1236 ( 2015, Chiu, codified as Government Code Section 65850. 7), which requires local jurisdictions to adopt an ordinance to create an expedited, streamlined permitting process for electric vehicle charging stations. An electric vehicle charging station is any level of electric vehicle supply equipment station which delivers electricity from a source outside an electric vehicle into a plug-in electric vehicle. The proposed ordinance is intended to bring Title 15 up to compliance with State legislation regarding the expediting and streamlining procedures for electric vehicle charging stations.

Move to introduce for first reading, by title only, Ordinance No. 1014, entitled: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD, COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, ADDING CHAPTER 15. 28 - ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS TO TITLE 15 ( BUILDINGS AND CONSTRUCTION) TO PROVIDE AN EXPEDITED, STREAMLINED PERMITTING PROCESS FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS 3. Find that the ordinance involves updates and revisions to existing regulations, and it can be seen with certainty that the text amendments will have no significant negative effect on the environment, per CEQA Guidelines, Section 15061( b)( 3). The ordinance also involves the potential installation of solar energy systems, which are exempt under Section 21080. 35 of the Public Resources Code.
