<br />Commission will continue to adopt mandatory standards.
<br />DIVISION 4.2 ENERGY EFFICIENCY
<br />c. An automatic load management system (ALMS) may be used to reduce the maximum required
<br />electrical capacity to each space served by the ALMS. The electrical system and any on-site distribution
<br />transformers shall have sufficient capacity to deliver at least 3.3 kW simultaneously to each EV charging
<br />station (EVCS) served by the ALMS. The branch circuit shall have a minimum capacity of 40 amperes,
<br />and installed EV chargers shall have a capacity of not less than 30 amperes.
<br />4.106.4.3 Electric vehicle charging for additions and alterations of parking facilities serving existing
<br />multi-family buildings, hotels and motels.
<br /> When existing parking facilities are altered or new parking spaces are added to existing parking facilities, and
<br />the work requires a building permit, each parking space added or altered shall have access to either a low
<br />power Level 2 EV charging receptacle or Level 2 EV charger, unless determined as infeasible by the project
<br />builder or designer and subject to concurrence of the local enforcing agency.
<br />
<br />Exception: Where work requiring a permit is being performed for the installation of 120-volt electrical
<br />receptacle(s) for level 1 EV charging.

<br /> 2.Covered or uncovered enclosures with permanently anchored bicycle parking devices or racks.
<br /> 4.106.4.4.2 Long-term bicycle parking for multifamily buildings.
<br />Provide on-site bicycle parking at a ratio of one parking space for every two dwelling units. Acceptable parking
<br />facilities shall be conveniently accessed from the street and may include, but not be limited to:
<br />1. Covered, lockable enclosures with permanently anchored bicycle parking devices or racks.
<br /> 2. Lockable bicycle storage rooms with permanently anchored bicycle parking devices or racks.
<br /> 3. Lockable, weatherproof, permanently anchored bicycle lockers.
<br /> 4.106.4.4.3 Long-term bicycle parking for hotel and motel buildings.
<br />Provide one on-site long-term bicycle parking space for every 25,000 square feet, but not less than two.
<br />Acceptable parking facilities shall be conveniently accessed from the street and may include, but not be limited
<br />to:
