Yuba County Municipal Code Art. 1 Scope and Application

These regulations, as part of Title X of the Yuba County Ordinance Code, shall be known as the Expedited Permit Process for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations of the County of Yuba, hereinafter referred to as "this Chapter".

(Ord. No. 1614)

This Chapter is enacted pursuant to the authority granted by AB 1236 and AB 970, codified in Government Code sections 65850.7 and 65850.71, to adopt a local ordinance that is consistent with the goals and intent of the State of California to promote and encourage the use of electric vehicle charging stations and limit obstacles to their use.

(Ord. No. 1614)

The purpose of this Chapter is to create an expedited, streamlined permitting process to achieve timely and cost-effective installation of electric vehicle charging stations, hereinafter referred to as "EVC Stations". This Chapter encourages the installation and use of EVC Stations by removing potential obstacles to, and minimizing the cost of permitting for charging stations, and by expanding the ability of residential, agricultural, and commercial property owners to install EVC Stations. This Chapter allows the County to achieve these goals while protecting the public health and safety.

(Ord. No. 1614)

This Chapter applies to the permitting of all new EVC Stations in the unincorporated area of Yuba County.

EXCEPTION: EVC Stations legally established or permitted prior to the adoption of this Chapter and the Building Official's implementation of an expedited permitting process are not subject to the requirements of this Chapter unless physical modifications or alterations are undertaken that materially change the size, type, or components of an electric vehicle charging station in such a way as to require new permitting.
