Electric Vehicles Offset Credit Requests#

The City of Fort Collins has appropriated funds to pilot a fee credit program intended to provide cost-sharing for electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure requirements at affordable housing developments. To qualify for this pilot program, a development must:

• Meet the City’s definition of affordable housing project
• Meet the City’s building code requirements for EV charging infrastructure
• Apply for credits between project approval and issuance of a certificate of occupancy (CO)

Once minimum standards are met, credit amounts will be calculated based on 1 EVSE – Installed, 5% of EV Ready Spaces, and 10% of EV Capable.

Written requests are required for electric vehicle infrastructure offset credits (EV credits). Written requests must contain the following and should be discussed with your project's Development Review Coordinator:

• Name, address and contact information for developer
• Name of entity or person for whom trust account will be created
• Name and address/location of development, and location map
• Whether or not this development will be located in a qualified census tract
• Total number of units with breakdown of AMI targets for all units
• Description of development and why it qualifies as affordable housing
• Proposed construction timeline
• Total number of:
• parking spaces,
• EV capable parking spaces,
• EV ready parking spaces and
• EVSE installed chargers

Requests for EV credits should be made when parking space numbers are finalized but must be made prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the development. EV Credit requests should be sent to your project's Development Review Coordinator. EV credits are subject to available funding.
