CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers DATE: May 5, 2026 THROUGH: Jeremy Craig, City Manager FROM: Kelly Mumper, Contract Planner SUBJECT: Adoption (2nd Reading) of Ordinance No. 2026-05 adopting regulations required by Assembly Bill 1236 pertaining to the streamlining and ministerial approval of Electric Vehicle Charging Systems & Stations in the City of Winters. RECOMMENDATION: 1) Adopt and waive the 2nd reading of Ordinance 2026-05, Electric Vehicle Charging Systems & Stations. 2) Direct staff to publish a post adoption summary ordinance in the Winters Express within 15 days of adopting of the proposed ordinance. BACKGROUND: The Planning and Zoning Law, among other things, requires the legislative body of each county and city to adopt a general plan for the physical development of the county or city and authorizes the adoption and administration of zoning laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations by counties and cities. Existing law, the Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Open Access Act, prohibits the charging of a subscription fee on persons desiring to use an electric vehicle charging station, as defined, and prohibits a requirement for persons to obtain membership in any club, association, or organization as a condition of using the station, except as specified. The bill requires a city, county, or city and county to approve an application for the 9

installation of electric vehicle charging stations, as defined, through the issuance of specified permits unless the city or county makes specified written findings based upon substantial evidence in the record that the proposed installation would have a specific, adverse impact upon the public health or safety, and there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific, adverse impact. The bill provides for appeal of that decision to the planning commission, as specified. The bill provides that the implementation of consistent statewide standards to achieve the timely and cost-effective installation of electric vehicle charging stations is a matter of statewide concern. The bill requires electric vehicle charging stations to meet specified standards. The bill requires a city, county, or city and county with a population of 200,000 or more residents to adopt an ordinance, by September 30, 2016, that creates an expedited and streamlined permitting process for electric vehicle charging stations, as specified. The bill requires a city, county, or city and county with a population of less than 200,000 residents to adopt this ordinance by September 30, 2017. The bill authorizes the city, county, or city and county, in developing the ordinance, to refer to guidelines contained in a specified guidebook. The bill also authorized the adoption of an ordinance that modifies the checklists and standards found in the guidebook due to unique conditions. By increasing the duties of local officials, this bill creates a state-mandated local program. DISCUSSION: On April 21, 2026, a public hearing and regularly scheduled City Council Meeting was conducted and the City of Winters City Council Voted 4-0 to introduce and waive the first reading of the Electric Vehicle Charging Station and Systems Ordinance and found the action to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City of Winters was contacted by the Office of Planning and Research and informed that the City of Winters had yet to submit evidence of compliance with Assembly Bill 1236 (AB1236). While the City of Winters treated all current Electric Vehicle Charging Systems & Stations in the City of Winters with the same standards as (AB1236), the City of Winters Municipal Code lacked the codified language. By adopting this ordinance, the City of Winters will become fully complaint with (AB1236). ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS: The ordinance is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(B)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, because adoption of the proposed ordinance amendment is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects causing a significant effect on the environment, and this project does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. FISCAL IMPACT: City staff time preparing the draft, Public Hearing Notices, Code Publishing fees are charged at $26.00 per page. 10
