West Jordan, UT Parking Rules: EV Charging (2026)

West Jordan's Interchange Overlay Zone (IOZ) covers land near the freeway interchanges along Mountain View Corridor (SR-85) and Bangerter Highway, adopted to promote large-scale mixed-use redevelopment around those interchanges. Under City Code section 13-6K-5-1(E)(6), any parking structure built for a mixed-use, multi-family, or townhome project inside the IOZ must include one 220-volt vehicle charging station. The same parking-structures standard also requires full-coverage landscaping, walls, gates, or beams around every side of the structure except the ingress and egress points, so the mandate sits inside a broader design package for enclosed parking, not a stand-alone charging rule.

A separate incentive in subsection (H)(7) of the same section lets any use in the IOZ that installs an electric charging station count that space toward its minimum parking requirement, alongside the solar and geothermal incentives in the same paragraph, such as a one-story height bonus for buildings with solar panels. The IOZ standards supersede the underlying zone once a property is rezoned into the overlay, and city staff review compliance during site plan and building permit review. The Community Development Director or a designee administers and enforces Title 13, the zoning title containing the IOZ chapter, under section 13-6K-6(A).

The requirement traces to Ordinance 24-36, adopted August 27, 2024, which added the current IOZ design and development standards article at section 13-6K-5-1. Because the mandate is written into the interchange overlay chapter rather than the citywide off-street parking chapter (title 13, chapter 12), it applies only to development approved into the IOZ, not to parking structures built under a conventional commercial or residential zone elsewhere in the city.
