Clearwater encourages electric vehicle charging through public stations and city sustainability programs, with parking-space and accessibility standards governed by Community Development Code Division 14 and Florida statewide rules.
The City of Clearwater operates and supports public EV charging stations as part of its Greenprint sustainability plan, with station locations published by the Sustainability program. Off-street parking for residential and nonresidential development is regulated by CDC Division 14 (Parking and Loading), which sets standards for parking spaces, accessibility, and signage that apply to EV charging spots. Florida law generally preserves access to charging infrastructure, and Florida Statute 316.008 grants municipalities authority to regulate parking on local streets. Private property owners may post EV-only parking signs and tow non-EV vehicles consistent with Florida Statute 715.07.
Misuse of designated EV-only spaces on private property may result in towing under F.S. 715.07; on-street violations are addressed through Chapter 30 citations.
