Brentwood, CA Parking Rules: EV Charging (2026)

7, with the chief building official authorized to implement the chapter and issue a compliance checklist. 020 defines a "charging station" as any level of electric vehicle supply equipment built to California Electrical Code Article 625 (as it read on October 8, 2015) that delivers power from an outside source into a plug-in electric vehicle. 030, an applicant must submit a building permit application on the city's form together with every item listed on the electric vehicle charging station checklist, and both the form and checklist are posted online.

If the submission is incomplete, the city issues a written correction notice detailing each deficiency rather than an outright denial. Once the application and checklist requirements are satisfied, the submission is deemed complete and the city issues the building permit. 7(i). This mirrors the state's mandate that charging stations be treated as accessory, permitted uses subject only to a ministerial review, not discretionary design or use-permit review, so the chief building official cannot impose conditions beyond the checklist and the health-and-safety denial standard.
