Department: Planning and Attachments: See exhibit list below Budget Impact: NIA Development Administrative Recommendation: City Council to introduce and adopt Ordinance No. 6365 Background Summary: During the 2009 session the Washington State Legislature passed House Bill 1481 (HB 1481), an Act relating to electric vehicles. The Bill addressed electric vehicle infrastructure including the structures, machinery, and equipment necessary and integral to support an electric vehicle, including battery charging stations, rapid charging stations, and battery exchange stations. The associated RCW 35.63.126 requires that The City of Auburn must allow electric vehicle infrastructure as a use in all areas except those zoned for residential or resource use or critical areas by July 1, 2011. The legislature required the Washington State Department of Commerce and the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) to collaborate and provide technical guidance to cities impacted by RCW 35.63.126. The two agencies worked together to create a guidebook and model ordinance, both resources were made available online. Staff utilized the guidebook and model ordinance to propose the following amendments to the Auburn City Code to respond to the legislature mandated by the State: amend Title 18 of the Auburn City Code (ACC), related to zoning, including amendments to Chapter 18.04 Definitions, and a proposed new section 18.47 Electric Vehicle Infrastructure. In general, the amendments will allow electric vehicle infrastructure as an allowed use in all zoning districts in the City of Auburn. On May 3, 2011 Planning Commission held a public hearing and recommended 7-0 that City Council approve ZOA11-0003 as presented by staff (one member of the Planning Commission was absent).
