This bill amends section 3 of P.L.2021, c.171 (C.40:55D-66.20) to clarify the calculation and application of electric vehicle (EV) parking space credits. It specifies that when calculating the number of required EV parking spaces, any fractional result must be rounded up to the next whole number, but this rounding cannot reduce the overall parking supply by more than 10 percent. Additionally, the bill states that parking spaces equipped with EV supply equipment or Make-Ready equipment will count as at least two parking spaces for the purpose of meeting minimum parking requirements, while ensuring that the total reduction does not exceed the 10 percent limit.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a provision that allows electric vehicle parking credits to be applied during the concept plan review stage for determining consistency with redevelopment or other development plans. This aims to eliminate ambiguity identified in a recent court decision regarding the interaction between rounding calculations and the 10 percent limitation. By clarifying these provisions, the bill seeks to enhance certainty and consistency for developers and municipal reviewing bodies in the application of existing statutory requirements.
