Murrieta, CA Parking Rules: EV Charging (2026)

115-1 requires one- and two-family homes and multifamily dwellings with private garages to install one Level 2 or greater electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) unit per enclosed garage. Multifamily dwellings without private garages, along with hotels and motels, must install Level 2 EVSE for 6 percent of total required parking spaces. Non-residential developments with fewer than 200 parking spaces must provide Level 2 EVSE for 4 percent of spaces, rising to 5 percent for developments with 200 or more spaces, with all percentages rounded up to the nearest space.

115(B) further provides that a parking space served by EVSE counts as at least one standard automobile space toward a project's minimum parking requirement, and an accessible EVSE-served space with an access aisle counts as at least two standard spaces, giving developers a credit against otherwise-required parking counts. EV Ready and EVSE spaces must carry signage or pavement markings meeting Caltrans standards, and the number of EV Capable and EV Ready spaces must otherwise track the California Green Building Standards Code. 7; stations installed before the chapter's effective date are grandfathered unless later modified in a way that materially changes their size, type or components.
