Full Breakdown
Marysville Municipal Code § 22C.130.030(4) requires electric vehicle charging capability for every new building that provides on-site parking, in accordance with RCW 19.27.540. The city doesn't set its own wiring or space-count formula for this: it adopts the state building code standard by reference, so the actual number of EV-ready, EV-capable, and EV-installed spaces required is governed by state law, not a locally invented figure. This sits within the same parking chapter that also sets carpool-space and off-street parking-count standards for office, industrial, and institutional uses.
Violations & Fines
New buildings with on-site parking that lack the required EV charging capability do not pass site plan or building permit review by the community development and building departments.
