Avondale has no separate published ordinance dedicated to electric-vehicle charging spaces. EV charging falls under the general off-street parking standards of Zoning Ordinance Article 8, and EV charging stalls count as standard parking spaces.
Avondale does not appear to maintain a stand-alone electric-vehicle charging ordinance in its City Code. EV charging spaces are treated under the general off-street parking framework of Chapter 28, Article 8 of the Zoning Ordinance, which governs required parking counts, space dimensions and design (Sections 28-161 through 28-168). Under that framework, parking spaces, including any equipped with EV chargers, must meet the standard dimensional and surface requirements, such as the 9.5-by-20-foot standard stall in Section 28-165 and the paved-surface rule in Section 28-163(a). The city has been undertaking periodic Zoning Ordinance text amendments to keep Chapter 28 current, so specific EV provisions could be added in the future; residents and developers planning a charging installation should confirm current requirements with the Avondale Planning Division. At the state level, Arizona has adopted EV-friendly provisions in other contexts, but the day-to-day rule in Avondale is that an EV charging stall is parked, surfaced and counted like any other off-street space. Building and electrical permits from the city are required to install charging equipment.
There is no EV-specific penalty in the Avondale code. A charging installation that fails to meet Article 8 parking-design standards or that proceeds without required building and electrical permits is enforced as an ordinary zoning or building-code violation.
