Full Breakdown
Chapter 15.62 routes electric vehicle charging station installations that qualify under Government Code Section 65850.7 into the city's separate Electric Vehicle Charging Station Permit Expediting Ordinance rather than standard discretionary building review. This mirrors the administrative, checklist-based track Manteca already runs for small rooftop solar systems under Chapter 15.60: qualifying stations get an administrative permit rather than a public hearing, cutting the time between application and installed charger. Property owners installing a charger should ask the building division whether their project meets the state eligibility threshold before applying.
Violations & Fines
The ordinance sets an expedited administrative track, not penalties; a charging station that doesn't qualify for expedited review instead goes through the standard building permit process, with its usual fees and inspections.
