Wyoming, MI Parking Rules: EV Charging (2026)

Sec. 90-600 of the Wyoming, Michigan Zoning Ordinance sets the minimum number of off-street parking spaces every use must provide, tied to the use-specific ratios in Table 90-600 (for example, one space per 250 square feet for most retail, or two spaces per dwelling unit for single- and two-family homes). Subsection (7) lists the general rules for counting those required spaces, including that fractions over one-half round up to a full space and that the site plan approval authority may allow up to 20 percent more parking than the minimum if documented demand supports it.

" In practice, a developer who installs EV charging stations does not have to build those stalls in addition to the code-minimum count; the charging spaces themselves satisfy up to six of the required spaces, reducing total pavement while still meeting the parking minimum. The credit is capped at six spaces regardless of a site's overall parking requirement, so a large development with dozens of required stalls gets the same maximum EV credit as a small one. The same chapter separately treats EV charging stations as a qualifying sustainability feature for the residential density bonus available in PUD-4 developments under Sec.

90-419C(D)(4)(g), so a project that adds charging infrastructure can use it toward both the parking-count credit and, in a PUD, toward the density-bonus checklist. Installation of the charging equipment itself is reviewed as part of the same site plan or sketch plan process that governs other parking-lot improvements.
