ATTACHMENT F Regular Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, July 6, 2022 Page 8 Member Bjorum understood there are varying stages of charging and all dependent on the speed in which the vehicle is charged. He wondered if that was something the City would add into that requirement. Mr. Miller explained if this is of interest his team will look at that further and what the best practice is right now. Member McGehee thought it might be easier for the older buildings that do not have the service to have the option to provide EV charging at the lower end of service. Mr. Paschke indicated he was not opposed to that requirement but most of the charging stations that have been approved for the City of Roseville is a separate fee that goes right to the unit that then feeds the charging station. It is not coming directly from the building itself and feeding it out. It is a separate line brought in by Xcel that goes to a transformer tool that brings it to the station so that would not necessarily be a concern or issue. He thought the issue was when reconstructing a parking lot the requirement to install the EV stations which would be an extra expense to the building owner. Member Schaffhausen indicated she was not opposed to any of this but she knew from a small business perspective, that cash flow their businesses and can barely afford to survive. She thought this is something to consider and what the Commission is talking about is not creating a lot. She wondered if a small business would be forced to put in EV stations if they could not afford to install them. Member Bjorum thought that is where the five percent kicks in. If the EV station were to cost more than five percent of the entire project than there is an allowance in there that the states the business would not have to do as many or something like that. Chair Kimble asked what the definition is of reconstructing for a parking lot. She asked if it would just be repaving or something more because that makes a difference as well. Ms. Gundlach explained maintenance of existing stalls like repaving them would not trigger this in staff’s mind of implementing it. If there is an existing business doing an expansion or adding parking and at the thirty stalls then at that point it would. Chair Kimble thought staff should define what reconstructed means. Ms. Gundlach reviewed the discussion and what he Commission would like to be changed. The Commission was in consensus with the changes to the Zoning Code with what was discussed.
