We are working on an adaptive re-use project where the client has purchased an existing manufacturing facility and it is being coverted for use as an office and testing lab for a research institute. The client wants to install EV charging stations. The existing parking lots are double what zoing requires at around 590 spaces, and are far more than what the occupancy would require. At present we are not eliminating any of the existing parking. At 3% of the total parking lot this calculates to 18 charging stations. This is more than what the client had in mind. Is anyone aware of a way that we can reach the 18 using FTE calculations or the charging capacity of the station? Or in this case, since the number of spaces far exceeds the occupancy/zoning requirements can we calculate the 3% using a lower number of parking spaces?

I have found the reviewers pretty consistent on site related credit requirements. Can you eliminate some parking and add to the open space or add a large rain garden?
