Town of Colonie Enhanced Development Regulations: Electric Vehicle Zoning Guidance & Best Practices

The Town of Colonie has requested technical assistance in investigating the feasibility of incorporating Electric Vehicle (EV) charging station requirements into the Town’s zoning and development codes. Recently, EV charging station requirements have become an area of interest to Town staff and Planning Board members, who advocate for the installation of electric vehicle charging infrastructure or electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) on most new developments in the Town. To date, there has been limited push back from developers in accommodating the installation of EVSE in new developments; however, the Town would like add consistency in the process by including language in Town codes that would better prescribe when, where, and how much EV charging should be required on a town-wide basis. Contents of this report include: existing conditions of infrastructure, comprehensive plan and zoning, and general recommendations and best practices.
