CITY OF BELL GARDENS

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM:Manuel Acosta, Acting City Manager
BY:Alfonso Hernandez, Acting Community Development Director SUBJECT:Introduction of Ordinance No. 973 Amending Chapter 9.54 (Public Noticing Requirements/Procedures) of Division 5 (Administration), of Title 9 (Zoning and Planning Regulations), of the Bell Gardens Municipal Code.

DATE:September 28, 2026
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff's recommendation that the City Council:

2. Waive full reading and introduce Ordinance No. 973, by title only, amending Chapter

9.54 (Public Noticing Requirements/Procedures) of Division 5 (Administration), of Title 9 (Zoning and Planning Regulations), of the Bell Gardens Municipal Code.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

Effective January 1, 2025, Assembly Bill 2904 (“AB 2904”) requires local governments to increase the noticing period from ten (10) days to a minimum of twenty (20) days for Planning Commission public hearings on zoning ordinances that affect the permitted uses of real property.

On March 10, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 955, which modified the noticing period language in Bell Gardens Municipal Code (BGMC), Section 9.54.10 (Noticing of public hearing applications or petitions for a zone change, variance or conditional use permit) from ten (10) days to twenty (20) days.

Ordinance No. 955 amended the noticing period from ten to twenty days for the following applications: Zone Changes, Variances, and Conditional Use Permits.

However, the BGMC does not explicitly list the noticing periods for the following applications:
•General Plan Amendments;

Page 7 of 462 ends

•Specific Plans or Specific Plan Amendments;
•Tentative Parcel or Tract Maps; and
•Development Agreements.

Although compliant with State law, Ordinance No. 955 did not codify the relevant noticing requirements for all applicable planning applications. The ordinance also requires stricter noticing requirements for Variances and Conditional Use Permits than what is required by State law. The proposed Zoning Code Amendment more closely aligns with State noticing requirements, and explicitly states required noticing for all applicable City zoning applications.

State law previously required a 10 day notice for any public hearing before the Planning Commission. The City must comply with AB 2904, which extends the noticing requirement to 20 days to allow property owners a longer opportunity to review and respond to proposed zoning ordinances. The new noticing law only applies to public hearings before the Planning Commission and does not apply to public hearings before City Council.

The proposed amendments to the code will explicitly list the noticing timeline and public hearing requirements for all planning items that require Planning Commission approval.

Ordinance No. 973 complies with the new state law, which requires notice to be published, posted, mailed, or advertised, as applicable, at least 20 days before the Planning Commission holds a public hearing on zoning ordinances or zoning ordinance amendments (see chart below for reference).

Table 1: Public Noticing Requirements
Actions Noticing Requirement
Tentative Parcel Map 10 days
Tentative Tract Map 10 days
Conditional Use Permits 10 days
Variance 10 days
Site Plan Review (Type 3)10 days
Reversion to Acreage 10 days
General Plan 20 days
Specific Plan 20 days
Zone Change 20 days
Development Agreement 20 days
Zone Text Amendment 20 days
The General Plan’s Land Use Element Policy 1 identifies that the City shall maintain open communication with the community at all times. Ordinance No. 973 would revise noticing provisions to comply with state law by increasing the time for public participation to foster input from the residents and property owners. As such, adopting Ordinance No. 973 would follow the intent of Policy 1.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The City reviewed the environmental impacts of the proposed project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The proposed Ordinance is exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption). The section states that projects that do not result in a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment

Page 8 of 462 ends

are not subject to CEQA review. This amendment is for the purpose of providing clarity on noticing requirements within the BGMC for Planning Commission public hearing items. The proposed changes do not authorize or approve any specific development project, nor do they result in a physical change to the environment.

CONCLUSION:

Ordinance No. 973 would comply with AB 2904, a state mandate, expanding noticing requirements and promoting public participation. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed ordinance.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

REVIEWED BY: Guillermo Arreola, Acting City Planner
PREPARED BY: Jason Garcia, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Consideration to adopt a resolution recommending the City Council approve an ordinance amending Chapter 9.54 (Public Noticing Requirements/Procedures), of Division 5 (Administration), of Title 9 (Zoning and Planning Regulations) of the Bell Gardens Municipal Code.

DATE: August 19, 2026

RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff's recommendation that the Planning Commission:

1. Recommend the City Council find that the proposed Zone Code Amendment is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption.)

2. Adopt Planning Commission Resolution #PC 2026-09, approving:

a. A resolution of the Planning Commission of the City of Bell Gardens recommending approval by the City Council of Zone Code
Amendment (PLN26-000097) to Chapter 9.54 (Public Noticing Requirements/Procedures), of Division 5 (Administration), of Title 9 (Zoning and Planning Regulations) of the Bell Gardens Municipal Code to clarify and update existing public hearing noticing procedures.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

Page 16 of 462 ends

On March 10, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 955, which modified the noticing period language in Bell Gardens Municipal Code (BGMC) Section

9.54.10 (Noticing of public hearing applications or petitions for a zone change, variance or conditional use permit) from ten (10) days to twenty (20) days.

Ordinance No. 955 amended the noticing period from ten to twenty days for the following applications:

Application or petitions for Zone Changes
Variances
Conditional Use Permits

However, the BGMC does not explicitly list the noticing periods for the following applications:

Site Plan Review Type 3
General Plan Amendments
Specific Plans or Amendments to Specific Plans
Tentative Parcel or Tract Maps
Development Agreements

Although compliant with State law, Ordinance No. 955 did not codify the relevant noticing requirements for all applicable planning applications. The ordinance also requires stricter noticing requirements for Variances and Conditional Use Permits than what is required by State law. The proposed Zoning Code Amendment more closely aligns with state noticing requirements, and explicitly state required noticing for all applicable City zoning applications.

The modifications to the code are described in detail in the following section and outlined in the proposed draft ordinance included in the draft resolution (Exhibit 2.) In summary, Table 1 highlights the various required noting requirements.

Page 17 of 462 ends

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The
proposed Zone Code Amendment is exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption). The section states that projects that do not result in a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment are not subject to CEQA review. This amendment is for the purpose of providing clarity on noticing requirements within the BGMC for Planning Commission public hearing items. The proposed changes do not authorize or approve any specific development project, nor do they result in a physical change to the environment.

PUBLIC INPUT:

Public Notice: On August 8, 2026, a notice of the pending public hearing before the Planning Commission was published in the Bell Gardens Review.

Public Comments: As of the date that this report was published, Staff has received no correspondence in response to the public hearing about this item.

CONCLUSION:

The City reviewed the environmental impacts of the proposed Zone Code Amendment pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

CITY OF BELL GARDENS

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members

FROM: Manuel Acosta, Acting City Manager

BY: Daisy Gomez, City Clerk

SUBJECT: General Motion To Waive Full Reading And Approve Ordinances By Title Only Pursuant To California Government Code Section 36934

DATE: September 28, 2026

RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff's recommendation that the City Council approve a general motion to waive full reading and approve Ordinances by title only pursuant to California Government Code Section 36934.

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION:

In order to expedite the conduct of business at Council meetings, California State Law (California Government Code Section 36934) allows Ordinances to be read by title if a majority of the Council supports the motion waiving the full reading. Most California cities adopt a standard motion at the beginning of each meeting in order to effectuate this waiver.

Since most of the Ordinances introduced and adopted consist of multiple pages of technical language, reading by title only allows the Council to eliminate the communication of redundant information and attend to other matters during the meetings. Otherwise, the entire Ordinance language will have to be read in full.

CONCLUSION:

Allowing ordinances to be read by title only, according to California State Law, will expedite the conduct of business at Council Meetings.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM:Manuel Acosta, Acting City Manager
BY:Alfonso Hernandez, Acting Community Development Director SUBJECT:Consideration of Resolution Approving a Professional Services Agreement by and between the City of Bell Gardens and Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. for the Development of the Zero-Emissions Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Plan
DATE:September 28, 2026
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Adopt the attached Resolution approving a Professional Services Agreement between the City of Bell Gardens and Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., subject to City Attorney approval as to form, for professional consulting services to develop the Zero-Emissions Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Plan (ZEVCIP) in an amount not to exceed $242,914; and
2) Authorize the City Manager to approve additional services that may be necessary to cover any unforeseen conditions in an amount not to exceed $10,000.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

On October 27, 2025, the City Council accepted a grant award of $250,000 in Sustainability Transportation Planning Grant funds from the California Department of Transportation (“Caltrans”) for the Charging Forward: Bell Gardens Zero-Emissions Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Plan (“Project”.) The grant requires a $32,390 local cash match, resulting in a total Project cost of $282,309. The local match will be provided using staff time working on the Project, instead of direct funds from the General Fund.

The ZEVCIP will evaluate existing zero-emissions vehicle charging infrastructure and future charging needs throughout the City. The Project will identify potential charging locations, evaluate site feasibility and electrical infrastructure, incorporate community input, and identify funding and implementation strategies. The Project will also consider accessibility, equity, land use, transportation patterns, and under-resourced communities.

Page 64 of 462 ends

This foundational analysis will guide the City’s long-term electric vehicle infrastructure planning and may strengthen future applications for additional grant funding to support the physical installation of charging infrastructure.

On July 9, 2026, the Community Development Department (“Department”) issued a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) for the development of the ZEVCIP. The City received seven (7) proposals in response to the RFP.

Following the evaluation process, Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. was determined to be the most qualified on its demonstrated understanding of the Project, staff qualifications and technical ability, relevant project experience, ability to provide full-service support, and comprehensive cost proposal.

The proposed Professional Services Agreement will have a term of two (2) years, consistent with the RFP, and will provide for compensation in an amount not to exceed $242,914. An additional $10,000 contingency, if requested by the City Manager, would be added to the Professional Services Agreement for a total not to exceed amount of $252,914.

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Resolution approving a Professional Services Agreement by and between the City of Bell Gardens and Kimley-Horn and Associates, for the development of the Zero-Emissions Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Plan.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed Professional Services Agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates will include a not to exceed amount of $242,914 with the additional $10,000 contingency, will be funded through the City’s $250,000 Caltrans Sustainability Transportation Planning Grant. The grant requires a $32,390 local cash match which will be satisfied via staff time used working on the Project, and not via the General Fund.

The City ranks in the 10.6th percentile for overall community health outcomes, meaning it performs worse than 89.4% of communities statewide in key health indicators such as air qualit y, housing, and access to resources. The plan will analyze existing land use, zoning, and transportation patterns while aligning with the City’s Environmental Justice (EJ) element, Climate Action Plan (CAP), and California's greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals. Major deliverables include a comprehensive gap analysis, site -specific recommendations, and funding strategies to ensure actionable implementation.

The City is seeking a qualified Consultant with proven expertise to submit a proposal to develop an effective and comprehensive ZEVCIP. The ZEVCIP will serve as an initiative designed to address the critical need for accessible and equitable electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in the City. The ZEVCIP will:

I. Assess City’s existing EV charging infrastructure and forecast future needs to accommodate anticipated zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) adoption.

II. Bring together public agencies,utility providers, community organizations, businesses, and residents to shape the plan.

III. Create a detailed plan for installing ZEV charging stations in the City.

IV. Include technical details, funding options, and recommendations for the best locations for ZEV charging infrastructure.

V. traffic andstudies, flowGISmapping, suchtools advancedLeverage as environmental impact assessments to pinpoint optimal sites for EV charging stations.

The Planning Department will act as project lead, working in close coordination with the Public Works Department, Community Development Department, and Police Department.

These teams will provide insights on land use, zoning, infrastructure requirements, and public safety to ensure the plan is both practical and well suited to the City’s needs. Key stakeholders theinclude City’s Department,Development Community Works Public agencies,Department, Police Department, community organizations, regional and residents, whose input will be integral to the plan’s development. This effort will integrate seamlessly with regional and state planning initiatives to advance sustainable, multimodal transportation networks.

4 By prioritizing charging locations near transit hubs, schools, parks and under -resourced neighborhoods, the ZEVCIP promotes multimodal connectivity, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and enhances mobility for vulnerable populations. Community organizations, local schools, businesses, and residents are integral to shaping the plan. Input from groups such as Montebello Unified School District and local advocacy groups ensures that infrastructure development addresses the specific needs of the City’s neighborhoods. Public engagement efforts will play a vital role in identifying optimal charging locations, improving accessibility, and addressing potential challenges.

3 Subconsultant Partnership
To augment Kimley-Horn’s resources and enable us to seamlessly deliver services for the project, Kimley-Horn has teamed with our trusted subconsultant partner, Charge Across Town (CAT), to supplement our in-house team.The unique combination of our team’s expertise, qualifications, and approach will position the City for success in expanding local access to EV charging.

Charge Across Town (CAT) – EV Ride and Drive Events
CAT is an educational 501(c)(3) public benefit corporation helping to advance the adoption of EVs and EV charging infrastructure. Founded in 2012, CAT is a best-in-class experiential educational organization that has helped California achieve a 25% EV adoption rate. CAT has worked with a variety of organizations, including government and regulatory agencies,utilities,municipalities,nonprofits and corporations.Their EV Ride and Drive events target multifamily residents and disadvantaged community (DAC) members to educate and provide residents with the opportunity to drive an EV. More than 75% of CAT’s programs are focused on DACs. The CAT team listens carefully to community members’ needs and concerns and continually incorporates that feedback into their process. CAT finds it is most effective to have these conversations within the community at events, where they can hear real-time feedback from low-income drivers who can get behind the wheel of an EV. By tracking customer feedback and continually adapting their approach, CAT delivers real change within our most impacted communities.

CAT is currently providing EV Ride and Drive events throughout California via the Driver Assistance Program, a California Public Utilities Commission initiative to help low- and moderate-income rideshare drivers buy or lease EVs. The CAT team has also worked with Southern California Edison on several projects, including an EV Ride and Drive event in the City of Ontario and at the Los Angeles Auto Show. See page 12 for more on CAT’s approach to EV Ride and Drive events! Project Team Organization
The organizational chart below shows the roles and responsibilities of our proposed team members. We have provided resumes that highlight the qualifications of our key staff in Appendix F .

6 City of Surprise, Public EV Charger Siting Plan, Surprise, AZ The City of Surprise received a federally funded grant in 2024 to identify a prioritized list of public EV charger implementation projects with detailed site layouts and costs. Kimley-Horn developed an approach to scoring the sites’ suitability for hosting public chargers and scored approximately 35 City-owned sites using quantitative site prioritization criteria.These criteria included several of the same socioeconomic and equity indicators as noted in our proposal to the City of Bell Gardens. We also examined each site’s proximity to existing public charging stations, freeway access, and alternative fuel corridors, using GIS-based maps. Based on site scores, the team identified the 15 highest-scoring charging sites for further consideration. Next, City staff met to discuss additional considerations such as City departments’ priorities, site utilization, dwell time, and so on. This approach narrowed the list of 15 initial sites to eight top-priority sites for further analysis. Our engineers assessed each site, examined as-built drawings, and reviewed electric billing data to determine existing and available electrical capacity at the sites and determine optimal quantities, types, and placement of chargers. We produced conceptual layouts and cost estimates for each site. Kimley-Horn packaged the above materials into a final siting Plan that the City will use to apply for a regional EV charging project implementation grant.

MANAGEMENT AND STAFFING
Project Understanding
The City of Bell Gardens is taking a proactive approach to expanding zero -emission vehicle (ZEV)charging infrastructure by developing a comprehensive Zero-Emission Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Plan (ZEVCIP). As described in the RFP,the City's goal is to address deficiencies in existing charging infrastructure while achieving equitable access for under -resourced communities. The ZEVCIP will evaluate existing charging infrastructure, forecast future needs, identify strategic charging locations, and provide an actionable implementation roadmap that aligns with the City's Environmental Justice Element,Climate Action Plan, California's greenhouse gas reduction goals, and regional transportation initiatives.

7 Bell Gardens presents both unique opportunities and challenges for transportation electrification:
• T he City is one of the most densely populated communities in Los Angeles County, requiring thoughtful planning to maximize charging access within a highly urbanized environment.
• Approximately 79% of the City’s occupied housing units are renter-occupied, underscoring the importance of publicly accessible and shared charging infrastructure for residents who may not have access to home charging. • More than 97% of Bell Gardens residents identify as Hispanic or Latino,reinforcing the importance of culturally responsive, multilingual outreach and equitable investment strategies throughout the planning process. a datathe need highlightcharacteristics these Together,for - communitydriven,-thatlocationsapproach to identifyinginformed charging improve accessibility, support future EV adoption, and allow for the benefits of transportation electrification to be shared across the community.

Together with our partner Charge Across Town, Kimley-Horn has developed a thoughtful, practical approach that directly addresses the City's scope of work while producing an implementation-ready plan that can guide future investments and position Bell Gardens to compete for state and federal funding opportunities. Our approach includes the following key elements:
• Existing Conditions Assessment. We will develop a comprehensive understanding of Bell Gardens' existing ZEV landscape by evaluating current charging infrastructure, EV ownership trends, land use, zoning, demographics, travel patterns, and electrical grid capacity.

As part of our engagement strategy, we will leverage
our partner Charge Across Town’s experience
convening HUNDREDS of EV Ride and Drive
events to bring EVs and EV experts to Bell Gardens
and offer residents the opportunity to be a driver or
passenger in an EV.

Our two proposed Ride and Drive e vents offer the
opportunity for direct experience with EVs and to talk
with experts about EVs and EV charging.

8 Scope of Services
Task 1 – Existing Conditions
To deliver a robust assessment of the City of Bell Gardens’ current EV charging infrastructure, our team will implement a structured, data-driven methodology with the following elements:

1. Current State of EV Charging and EV Adoption in the City.

Kimley-Horn will gather detailed information to inform an assessment of the current landscape for EVs and EV charging in the City. This will include:
• EV Adoption. Using current and historic vehicle registration data from the CEC and California Department of Motor
Vehicles (DMV), we will assess:
o Number of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) registered in the City o EV share of total passenger vehicle registrations
in the City
o How the above trends in Bell Gardens compare to Los
Angeles County and the state of California
We will summarize this information in “heat maps” that show snapshots of EV adoption by zip code and demonstrate the neighborhoods that may require additional chargers to keep pace with the rest of the community’s EV adoption rates. The figure on the right is an example of an EV adoption heat map Kimley-Horn created for the City of Phoenix, AZ in 2025. • Existing EV chargers.
o Using data from the US DOE Alternative Fuels Data Center, Kimley-Horn will summarize and map existing EV charging stations in Bell Gardens including their locations, ownership type, charging power, and port counts. o If the City has information available regarding permit applications for residential,commercial,and/or public EV chargers, Kimley-Horn will review and map charger locations based on these data as well. • EV charger utilization. M chargers,theirforstatisticsutilization publishdo operators charging network publicost not but the US DOE publishes data from more than 50,000 charging ports and over 13 million charging sessions from 2019 to the present in its EV Watts Database. Kimley-Horn will summarize data on the average duration of charging sessions at Level 2 chargers and DCFCs by location type (including multifamily properties, office buildings, and more). This analysis will support a deeper understanding of where and when EV drivers charge their vehicles as well as the types of chargers they use in each location.

Developing the Bell Gardens ZEVCIP is more than a technical exercise—it is an opportunity to engage the community and improve mobility, air quality, and equitable access to clean transportation while positioning the City to capitalize on future funding opportunities.

Our multidisciplinary team combines extensive experience preparing EV charging network plans throughout California with expertise in transportation planning, utility coordination, GIS analysis, community engagement, implementation strategy, and funding assistance. We are prepared to deliver a strategic, actionable, and implementation-ready ZEVCIP that reflects Bell Gardens' priorities and provides a clear roadmap for expanding charging infrastructure throughout the community.

9 2. Electrical Grid and Infrastructure Assessment. Site-specific analyses of prospective EV charging sites are typically required to determine whether the required power is available. However, at a macro level, CEC has a tool that allows for assessment of EV charger feasibility in the context Evaluation (EDGEGrid and Deployment(EVSE) Equipment Vehicle Supplytheas Knownconstraints. grid local of Electric ) tool, this resource identifies the amount of new electrical load that primary electrical circuits and substations can accommodate. Kimley-Horn will review the most up-to-date EDGE dataset available to create a heat map that demonstrates relative grid constraints in Bell Gardens. The tool may identify (for example) that one area of the City has major constraints while another has more headroom available. The latter area may be more feasible for earlier-stage EV charger deployments than the former. We will include text to accompany the map that explains the utility grid capacity constraints that may affect EV charger deployment in the City.

3. Forecast of Demand for EV Chargers. Kimley-locationHorn will create a -forecastbased of EV adoption in the City that builds on EV adoption trends and considers state policy mandates, market trends, local land use, zoning policies, and socio-demographics. Areas with lower levels of future adoption likely reflect socioeconomic characteristics of City residents in those areas, and these areas should be prioritized for EV charger deployments to encourage EV adoption. Using modeling tools developed by the CEC and National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Kimley-Horn will create heat maps to demonstrate future EV adoption trends and types of EV chargers required to meet future needs.

Results will highlight gaps between the projected need for chargers and their current availability.

4. Regulatory and Permitting Review. Kimley-Horn will review and document relevant regulatory and permitting requirements related to EV charging at the local, state, and federal levels, highlighting policies that create potential barriers to charger deployment. We will leverage recent with representatives of other California municipalities to identify how they have addressed these barriers and propose policies and strategies for the City to consider in its own EV charger permitting processes.

5. Transportation Needs and Equity Analysis. This analysis includes two primary components:
• Understanding where and how people travel within and through the City, which can highlight needs for infrastructure such as EV chargers.

Using data on mobility patterns and land use from the Replica software platform, Kimley-Horn will identify and map common trip origins and destinations in the City along with the related travel modes (passenger vehicle, transit, etc.). Understanding frequent travel destinations will help inform charger needs and placement (e.g., near transit connections or popular shopping, dining, and recreational destinations). • Understanding the City's population based on their socioeconomic characteristics, including their burden from pollution and other Kimley disparities. these address tohelpsZEVCIP thattoinputs critical provide willhazards,environmental an -create Horn will neighborhood profiles and GIS-based maps of the City that demonstrate the locations and characteristics of these populations as follows:
o Residents disproportionately burdened by pollution and other environmental hazards based on CalEPA's CalEnviroScreen 4.0 and the Justice40 Initiative's Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool. o Social vulnerability based on the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) Utilization and Implementation Tool (SUIT), which uses 15 factors to rate the social vulnerability of every county and census tract in the US. o Additional equity indicators from the U S Census Bureau's 2023 American Community Survey, including population density ; multifamily housing density; density of rental units (typically correlated with multifamily housing density);employment density ; percentage of the population living in poverty; and percentage of minorities in the population.

This information will enhance the City's understanding of its community's travel patterns and vulnerabilities. We include details regarding these indicators in many of our EV projects, including (most recently) the Existing Conditions Assessment for an EV Charging Needs Assessment and Network Planning effort for the City of Rancho Cordova earlier this year.

Deliverables
Kimley-Horn will compile the above information into a comprehensive Existing Conditions Assessment report . The report will:
» Inventory and map existing charging stations, highlighting charger and quantities and flagging service gaps. » Evaluate EV ownership trends, demographics, land use, and equity indicators that influence charging demand. » Assess travel patterns and key destinations to understand future charging opportunities and constraints. » Review applicable City plans, development standards, and permitting processes to identify barriers to charger deployment. » Consider available electrical capacity and constraints and recommend approaches for addressing capacity shortfalls in areas where additional EV chargers may be needed.
» Include data-rich maps and visualizations illustrating existing conditions and identifying areas of unmet need to inform subsequent feasibility analyses and charging recommendations.

This graphics-rich report will serve as the foundation for subsequent tasks in the ZEVCIP project.
