California state law preempts most local barriers to EV charging. Jurupa Valley must offer expedited, streamlined EV-charging-station permits under Government Code §65850.7, and HOAs/multifamily landlords within the City cannot prohibit residents from installing personal chargers under Civil Code §4745. The City's role is limited to a one-stop, checklist-based permit.
Government Code §65850.7 requires every California city and county to adopt an ordinance creating an expedited, streamlined permitting process for EV charging stations, with checklist-based review and limited grounds for denial (only specific, adverse health/safety impact). Permits must be issued same-day for over-the-counter applications where the checklist is met. The Governor's Office of Planning and Research publishes a model EV charging permit ordinance that many cities adopt. Civil Code §4745 (right-to-charge in HOAs) makes any HOA covenant 'that either effectively prohibits or unreasonably restricts the installation or use of an electric vehicle charging station within an owner's unit or in a designated parking space' void and unenforceable; HOAs must process EV charger requests within 60 days or they are deemed approved. Civil Code §4745.1 extends similar protections to landlord-tenant settings for newer multifamily buildings. Jurupa Valley's Building Division processes EV charger permits under these state-mandated frameworks. For multifamily and commercial properties, California Building Code (CBC) and CalGreen require EV-ready or EV-capable parking spaces in new construction.
Permit violations are rare given the streamlined process; the more common issue is HOAs trying to block installations — under Civil Code §4745(g), willful HOA violators are liable for actual damages plus statutory penalties up to $1,000 and attorney's fees. Cities that fail to adopt a §65850.7 ordinance can be challenged.
