AGENDA TITLE: Introduce Ordinance Amending Lodi Municipal Code Title 15 — Buildings and
Construction — by Adding "Chapter 15.15 - Electric Vehicle Charging Station
Streamlined Permitting Process"
MEETING DATE: August 2, 2017
PREPARED BY: Community Development Director and Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION. Introduce Ordinance Amending Lodi Municipal Code Title 15 —
Buildings and Construction — by adding "Chapter 15.15 - Electric
Vehicle Charging Station Streamlined Permitting Process".
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On October 8, 2015, the Governor approved AB 1236 Chapter 598,
adding Section 65850.7 to the California Government Code. AB
1236 provides that it is the policy of the State to promote and
encourage the installation and use of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, limit obstacles to their use,
and minimize the permitting costs of such systems. In furtherance of that objective, Government Code
section 65850.7 requires that, on or before, September 30, 2017, every city, county, or city and county,
with a population of less than 200,000 residents, in consultation with the local fire department (building
division currently reviews all fire permits) and utility director, adopt an ordinance that creates an
expedited, streamlined permitting process for EV charging stations.
The proposed ordinance, attached hereto, brings the City into compliance with the requirements of
Government Code section 65850.7 by:
1) Defining several terms associated with EV charging stations, including a definition of an EV
charging station;
2) Directing the City's Building Official to develop a checklist, clearly listing all of the
requirements that must be met by an applicant to be eligible for an expedited review of and
completeness determination regarding a permit application for an EV charging station;
3) Requiring that the checklist and other required permit application forms and documents be
published on the City's website;
4) Requiring the City's Building Official to develop an expedited, streamlined permitting process
containing a checklist of all submittal and installation requirements;
5) Requiring the City to accept permit applications via mail, email, the internet, and facsimile and
allowing for acceptance of an applicant's electronic signature; and
6) Creating an expedited review process for EV charging stations.

Page 2 of 2
In addition, the proposed ordinance requires pre -approval by the Electric Utility (EU) prior to submittal of
an application for a building permit. This will ensure the proposed EV charging station has no adverse
impact on EU's distribution system and the utility's interconnection policies. Once approved by EU, an
application for a building permit can be submitted. The City's Building and Safety Division will issue a
building permit within one to three business days of receipt of a complete application that meets the
requirements of the checklist.
The adoption of the proposed ordinance will serve to expedite the permitting process for EV charging
stations in compliance with the Electric Vehicle Charging Station Rights Act and AB 1236 (Chapter 598).
Staff recommends that the City Council introduce the proposed ordinance to ensure the City is in
conformance with state law.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.

Sequence of Events
Applying for a new or modified electrical service:
The City of Lodi Electrical Utility wants your request to be handled in a timely, efficient manner. In order
for this to happen smoothly, we will need some important information from you. Please complete the
attached load information sheet and submit it with your building permit request. The more accurate your
information, the better we can provide the service you need. If you have any questions regarding this
form please contact the Electric Utility at (209) 333-6762. Information about the Electric Utility and its
policies and regulations can be found on our website at www.lodielectric.com .
Fees:
General: Community Development will collect all building permit fees. At the time of application, the
Engineering Department will estimate your "cost to connect" and you will be billed before work starts.
Upon receipt of payment, the work will be scheduled. At the end of the job, actual costs incurred will
be calculated, compared to the estimate, and your bill will be reconciled.
Residential: The Electric Utility will charge only the actual cost to connect your panel to our existing
system. In the case of a subdivision, the entire subdivision will be handled as a commercial
development.
Commercial Development: The developer is responsible for the entire cost of any new development.
This includes the cost of the installation of all facilities that must be installed on the site for that
development and those substructures and facilities that will need to be installed at that time for any
future development. Typically that would mean additional empty conduit runs and/or vaults to serve
adjacent properties.
Transmission and Substation System Charge: Any new development and/or electric load outside
the City boundaries as such boundaries existed on August 1, 2006, are subject to an additional fee.
This fee is calculated based on the City of Lodi's Electric Utility Department Rule 15 and must be paid
prior to construction.
Setting Your Meter:
Two things will have to happen before we can set your meter. First you must obtain a final inspection
form the Building Department. An inspection can be scheduled by calling (209) 333-6716. Second, you
must be signed up with the Finance Department for your new service. Once you have a signed final
inspection, contact Billing Services at (209) 333-6719 to arrange for an electric meter set.
