Full Breakdown
Section 11.9.9 of the Westland Zoning Ordinance lets a property owner count electric vehicle parking spaces toward the site's minimum required off-street parking under Table 11.9.7. The credit is capped: EV spaces used to satisfy the minimum can't exceed 10 percent of the total spaces required for the use. The ordinance doesn't mandate EV charging infrastructure anywhere in the city, it only allows voluntarily provided EV spaces to substitute for standard parking spaces, up to that 10 percent ceiling, when a development is sized for its minimum parking count. Adopted with the citywide zoning rewrite, Ordinance No. 248 (Oct. 21, 2024; effective Jan. 1, 2025).
Violations & Fines
Not a standalone violation: a site plan claiming more than the 10 percent EV credit toward required parking is non-compliant with Table 11.9.7 and is rejected at site plan or permit review until the count is corrected.
