All newly constructed
hotels and motels shall provide EV spaces capable of supporting
future installation of EVSE. The construction documents
shall identify the location of the EV spaces.
Notes:
- Construction documents are intended to demonstrate the project's capability and capacity for facilitating future EV charging.
- There is no requirement for EV spaces to be constructed or available until EV chargers are installed for use.
The
number of required EV spaces shall be based on the
total number of parking spaces provided for all types of
parking facilities in accordance with Table 4.106.4.3.1.
Calculations for the required number of EV spaces
shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
TABLE 4.106.4.3.1
| TOTAL NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES | NUMBER OF REQUIRED EV SPACES |
|---|---|
| 0—9 | 0 |
| 10—25 | 1 |
| 26—50 | 2 |
| 51—75 | 4 |
| 76—100 | 5 |
| 101—150 | 7 |
| 151—200 | 10 |
| 201 and over | 6 percent of total |
The EV spaces shall be designed to
comply with the following:
- The minimum length of each EV space shall be 18 feet (5486 mm).
- The minimum width of each EV space shall be 9 feet (2743 mm).
When a single
EV space is required, the EV space shall be designed in
accordance with Section 4.106.4.2.3.
When multiple
EV spaces are required, the EV spaces shall be
designed in accordance with Section 4.106.4.2.4.
The service panels or subpanels
shall be identified in accordance with Section
4.106.4.2.5.
In addition to the
requirements in Section 4.106.4.3, EV spaces for
hotels/motels and all EVSE, when installed, shall comply
with the accessibility provisions for EV charging
stations in the California Building Code, Chapter 11B.

- The California Department of Transportation adopts and publishes the "California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (California MUTCD)" to provide uniform standards and specifications for all official traffic control devices in California. Zero Emission Vehicle Signs and Pavement Markings can be found in the New Policies & Directives Number 13-01. Website: http://www.dot.ca.gov/ trafficops/policy.html.
- See Vehicle Code Section 22511 for EV charging space signage in off-street parking facilities and for use of EV charging spaces.

Roofing material shall comply with both LAMC Subdivisions 99.04.106.5.1 and 99.04.106.5.2, or comply with LAMC Subdivision 99.04.106.5.3.
EXCEPTIONS:
- Roof repair as defined in Section 100.1(b) of the California Energy Code; or
- Roof replacement when the roof area being replaced is equal to or less than 50% of the total roof area;
- Roof replacement where solar systems are being installed; or
- Additions resulting in less than 500 square feet of added roof area or less than 50% of the total roof area, whichever is greater.
| ROOF SLOPE | MINIMUM 3-YEAR AGED SOLAR REFLECTANCE | THERMAL EMITTANCE | 3 YEAR AGED SOLAR REFLECTANCE INDEX (SRI) |
|---|---|---|---|
| < 2:12 | 0.63 | 0.75 | 75 |
| ≥ 2:12 | 0.20 | 0.75 | 16 |
Roofing material shall have a minimum three-year aged solar reflectance equal to or greater than the values specified in LAMC Table 99.04.106.5. Solar reflectance shall be determined by testing by an approved agency in accordance with ASTM C1549, ASTM E1918 or CRRC-1. Solar reflectance values shall be based on the aged reflectance value of the roofing product or the equation in LAMC Section A4.106.5.1 if aged solar reflectance values are not available.
Roofing materials shall have an emittance value equal to or greater than those specified in LAMC Table 99.04.106.5. Thermal emittance shall be determined by testing by an approved agency in accordance with ASTM C1371, ASTM E408 or CRRC-1.
Roofing materials shall have a 3 year aged Solar Reflectance Index equal to or greater than those specified in LAMC Table 99.04.106.5. Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) shall be determined in accordance with ASTM E1980. Calculation of aged SRI may be based on either tested or calculated 3 year aged values of solar reflectance.
Reduce nonroof heat islands for 25% of pathways, patios, driveways or other paved areas by using one or more of the methods listed.
- Use trees or other plantings to provide shade and that mature within 5 years of planting. Trees shall be suitable in mature size and environmental requirements for the site. Tree selection and placement shall consider location and size of areas to be shaded, location of utilities, views from the structure, distance to sidewalks and foundations, overhangs onto adjacent properties and streets; other infrastructure and adjacent to landscaping. In addition, shading shall not cast a shadow, as specified, on any neighboring solar collectors pursuant to California Public Resources Code Section 25981, et seq. (Solar Shade Control Act);
- Use high albedo materials with an initial solar reflectance value of at least .30 as determined in accordance with American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standards E1918 or C1549;
- Use open grid pavement system or pervious or permeable pavement system;
- Use solar panel arrays to create a canopy shade system; or
- Other methods of reducing heat island effects acceptable to the Department.
