Full Breakdown
Buckeye's Development Code requires any multi-family (including bungalow communities) or nonresidential development that must provide 20 or more off-street parking spaces to reserve at least five percent of its required spaces for hybrid vehicles, alternative energy vehicles, and carpool vehicles. Of that reserved set, the developer must install EV charging stations on 25 percent of the spaces; the rest must be reserved for hybrids or built EV-capable, meaning conduit is installed so a charger can be added later as demand grows.
Violations & Fines
A development that fails to reserve the required alternative-energy/carpool spaces or install the mandated share of EV chargers does not clear Site Plan review and cannot obtain approval.
