Full Breakdown
Section 12A.3.4.4 of the Johns Creek Zoning Ordinance's Town Center Code requires developments needing 50 or more vehicle parking spaces to provide EV charging stations at a ratio of one station per 50 required spaces, and lets those stations count toward the minimum parking requirement. Each station must be signed as reserved for EV charging, positioned so it does not block pedestrians, bicyclists, or wheelchair users, post voltage and amperage and fee information, display a maintenance contact number, and cannot be installed in on-street parking spaces. The requirement applies only within the Town Center Overlay area adopted by City Council, not citywide.
Violations & Fines
Developing a qualifying project without the required EV charging stations, or failing to maintain them in working order, is a zoning violation under Article XXIX, punishable by up to $1,000 in fines or 60 days in jail per day.
