Charging spaces must measure at least nine feet by 18 feet, and station owners must report equipment details to the Town.

Electric vehicle charging station(s) shall be permitted in all zoning districts except for the R-10, R-15, R-22, R-40, R-80 or R-160 districts to serve commercial and public vehicles, and for shared use by residents of multifamily developments. ... Notwithstanding any other parking requirements within the Town Code, the minimum stall size for electric vehicle charging station spaces shall be nine feet by 18 feet.

Full Breakdown

Section 290-22C, added by Local Law No. 9-2025, is Clarkstown's first dedicated electric-vehicle-charging standard, folded into the Off-Street Parking and Loading article. ' Subsection (2)(a) permits charging stations in every zoning district except the R-10, R-15, R-22, R-40, R-80 and R-160 Districts, the Town's single-family residential zones, tied there to serving commercial and public vehicles and to shared use by residents of multifamily developments. Subsection (3)(b) sets a minimum stall size of nine feet by 18 feet for any charging space, which can count toward a site's minimum required parking under other Town Code provisions.

The same subsection requires signage identifying the space for charging use only, functioning equipment with a posted contact number for reporting problems, and adequate lighting unless charging is daytime-only. A schedule in (4)(a) requires accessible charging stations on a sliding scale, one for the first 50 stations, up to six for a site with 251 to 300 stations, in addition to standard ADA parking. Owners of any privately owned, publicly available station must report its location, installation date, equipment type and contact information to the Town under (3)(d), and new or retrofit installations go through the Building Inspector's electrical permit and site plan process.

Violations & Fines

Installing or operating a charging station that skips the required signage, stall dimensions, accessibility ratio or Town data reporting under § 290-22C is treated as a parking-standard violation of Chapter 290, carrying the § 290-34 penalty schedule: up to $3,500 for a first offense and rising to $16,000 for repeat offenses within 18 months, alongside required correction through the Building Inspector's permit process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I install EV charging at a single-family home in Clarkstown?
Section 290-22C is written for commercial, public and multifamily-shared charging stations and excludes the R-10 through R-160 single-family districts from that framework; it isn't a rule governing a one-family home's private driveway charger.
How big does a charging parking space have to be?
Section 290-22C(3)(b) sets a nine-foot by 18-foot minimum stall size for EV charging spaces, and that space can count toward a site's other required parking totals under the Town Code.
Do I have to tell the Town about a charging station I install?
Yes, if it's privately owned but open to the public. Section 290-22C(3)(d) requires the owner to report the station's location, installation date, equipment type and model, and contact information to the Town.
