COMMUNITY INVITED TO DISCUSS
ELECTRIC VEHICLE
CHARGING REQUIREMENTS
CODE CHANGE
The City of
Tucson Planning and
Development Services
Department (PDSD) invites
the community to join a
virtual meeting to learn
about upcoming proposed
changes to regulations for
electric vehicle (EV)
charging in Tucson and
provide input. In connection
with proposed changes to
parking standards being
reviewed under the Community
Corridors Tool (CCT)
code amendments, PDSD is
evaluating changes to
existing EV charging
standards under current
parking requirements.
Mayor
and Council adopted
electric vehicle supply
equipment regulations in
2022 to establish
standards for electric
vehicle readiness in new
commercial and multi-family
construction. These
requirements are intended to
expand access to charging
infrastructure through a
phased approach by ensuring
that new development
provides EV infrastructure
for current and future users
in Tucson.
PDSD staff
conducted a community survey
of the implementation of the
regulations to evaluate
their effectiveness. Based
on the survey results and
feedback provided by Mayor
and Council at their
September 11, 2024 Study
Session, areas of
potential adjustments to
the code were identified.
These relate to
requirements for site expansion and
establishing a path to
right size EV requirements
when less parking is
provided are being
proposed.
Staff invites
the community to provide
feedback on the proposed
modifications to Tucson’s
electric vehicle charging
standards by attending the
meeting below.
