Full Breakdown
1 of the Land Development Code requires electric vehicle charging stations and infrastructure for all new construction except individual single-family residences, duplexes, triplexes, and apartment or townhouse communities under 10 units. Once a project's off-street parking requirement reaches 20 spaces, at least 1 space must be reserved for electric vehicle parking; once it reaches 75 or more spaces, at least 4 spaces must be reserved with a charging station installed for each, plus an additional 2 percent of the required spaces built EV-ready with at least one more space reserved.
Every charging station must deliver a minimum AC Level 2 charging level, sit entirely inside the building envelope and out of view from outside the structure, be mounted above the minimum flood elevation, and include a retraction device, coiled cord, or a place to hang the cords and connectors, with signage reading Charging Station capped at 18 inches. Beyond individual stations, the code layers on infrastructure readiness: 3 percent of required spaces at 20-space sites need EV Supply Equipment make-ready wiring with a minimum 40-amp, 240-volt independent circuit per space, and 15 percent need EV-Capable raceway and subpanel capacity sized for 40- or 60-amp breakers.
Multi-family, mixed-use or hotel projects with 20 or more units must also run 240-volt capability throughout the garage for residents and guests, and any fractional space calculation rounds up. 94, noting it is unlawful to park a non-charging vehicle in a space specifically designated for EV charging.
Violations & Fines
A site plan that omits the required reserved, EV-ready or EV-capable spaces fails Community and Economic Development Department review and will not receive a building permit. Parking a gas-powered vehicle in a designated EV charging space is separately unlawful under Florida Statutes Section 366.94, as cross-referenced in Section 808.7.1. General noncompliance with the Land Development Code is enforced under the city's general penalty, Code of Ordinances Section 1-13, up to a $500 fine or 60 days' imprisonment.
