Marysville City Zoning Code

Electric vehicle charging stations are reserved for parking and charging electric vehicles only.

Electric vehicles may be parked in any space designated for public parking, subject to the restrictions that would apply to any other vehicle that would park in that space.

When a sign provides notice that a space is a designated electric vehicle charging station, no person shall park or stand any nonelectric vehicle in a designated electric vehicle charging station space. Any nonelectric vehicle is subject to fine or removal.

Any electric vehicle in any designated electric vehicle charging station space and not electrically charging or parked beyond the days and hours designated on regulatory signs posted at or near the space shall be subject to a fine and/or removal. For purposes of this subsection, "charging" means an electric vehicle is parked at an electric vehicle charging station and is connected to the charging station equipment.

Purpose. For all parking lots or garages, except those that include restricted electric vehicle charging stations.

Number. No minimum number of charging station spaces is required.

Minimum Parking Requirements. An electric vehicle charging station space may be included in the calculation for minimum required parking spaces that are required pursuant to other provisions of this code.

Location and Design Criteria. The provision of electric vehicle parking will vary based on the design and use of the primary parking lot. The following required and additional locational and design criteria are provided in recognition of the various parking lot layout options.

Data Collection. To allow for maintenance and notification, the Marysville community development department will require the owners of any private new electric vehicle infrastructure station that will be publicly available (see definition "electric vehicle charging station – public" in MMC § 22A.020.060) to provide information on the station's geographic location, date of installation, equipment type and model, and owner contact information.

Accessible electric vehicle charging stations shall be provided in the ratios shown on the following table.

Accessible electric vehicle charging stations should be located in close proximity to the building or facility entrance and shall be connected to a barrier-free accessible route of travel. It is not necessary to designate the accessible electric vehicle charging station exclusively for the use of disabled persons. Below are two options for providing for accessible electric vehicle charging stations.

Purpose. Curbside electric vehicle charging stations adjacent to on-street parking spaces are reserved for charging electric vehicles.

Size. A standard size parking space may be used as an electric vehicle charging station.

Location and Design Criteria. Where provided, parking for electric vehicle charging purposes is required to include the following:

Data Collection. To allow for maintenance and notification, the community development department will require the owners of any private new electric vehicle infrastructure station that will be publicly available (see definition "electric vehicle charging station – public" in MMC § 22A.020.060) to provide information on the station's geographic location, date of installation, equipment type and model, and owner contact information.

Directional – Highways and Freeways. Directional signs (MUTCD D0-11b) for highways and freeways (Figure 9) should be installed at a suitable distance in advance of the turn-off point or intersection highway. If used at an intersection or turn-off point, it shall be accompanied by a directional arrow. As the symbol on Figure 9 appears to be a gasoline pump, this sign may also be supplemented with the sign shown in Figure 10 (MUTCD D9-11bP) to avoid confusion with liquid fuel stations for early EV drivers.

Directional – Local Street. The directional sign for local streets should be installed at a suitable distance in advance of the intersection or charging station facility. If used at an intersection or parking lot entrance, it shall be accompanied by a direction arrow. As the symbol on Figure 11 appears to be a gasoline pump, this sign may also be supplemented with the sign shown in Figure 12 (MUTCD D9-11bP) to avoid confusion with liquid fuel stations for early EV drivers.

On-Street Parking Space with Charging Station Equipment. Combination sign identifying space as an electric vehicle charging station, prohibiting nonelectric vehicles, with charging time limits, is shown in Figure 13. The use of time limits is optional and is included to allow the charging equipment to be available for more than one use during the day. The design of the time limit charging sign is modeled after the existing R7-108 sign in the federal MUTCD. If dual use of the space is allowed, the time limits would need to be added to the red/black/white sign rather than the green sign.
