The original placement of the EV station, located on the southwest side of the building, required the removal of two existing accessible parking spaces.
According to the former general manager and staff, this location was deemed optimal due to its proximity to the electrical circuit box, as well as compliance with the mandate that all public EV charging stations must be located within accessible parking spaces.
As a result, to accommodate the removal of the two spaces, two new accessible parking spots were designated in the east side parking lot.
The move would be made possible through funding secured via a grant obtained under the auspices of the SLO County Clean Air Incentive Program, overseen by the diligent efforts of the SLO County Air Pollution Control District (APCD).
