MEP Reviews – This review does not include Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP).
Electrical Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCS) are required to be accessible per 2022 California Building Code Section 11B-228.3. The accessibility requirements may be exempt if Section 11B-228.3.2 Exception 1 is meet. Section 11B-228.3.2 Exception 1 states:” EVCS not available to the general public and intended for use by a designated vehicle or driver shall not be required to comply with Section 11B-228.3.2. Examples include, but are not limited to, EVCS serving public or private fleet vehicles and EVCS assigned to an employee.”
The current proposed EVCS design is not accessible. Under Project Description on sheet T-1, a note indicates that the installation of the dual EV charger is for Employee Use only. However, there is no mitigation to prevent the general public to use the EVCS. The EVCS design does not meet Section 11B-228.3.2 Exception-1.
There are two approaches to resolve this issue. The first approach is to design the EVCS to be accessible in accordance with 2022 California Building Code Section 11B-228.3. The second approach is to provide evidence that meet Section 11B-228.3.2 Exception-1.
In the past, the city of Santa Ana accepted a notarized letter from the owner or tenant of the building requesting for accessibility exemption in accordance with Section 11B-228.3.2 Exception-1. The letter must describe howSection 11B-228.3.2 Exception-1 are meet.For example, Employee Only signage, a private or public fleet vehicle assignment to an employee. The notarized letter shall be signed by the owner or the tenant (CEO of the company), and a copy of the letter shall be printed it on the construction document.
