Illinois Code § 25

§ 25.

Residential requirements. (a) All building permits issued 90 days after the effective date of this Act shall require a new, large multifamily residential building or a large multifamily residential building being renovated by a developer converting the property to an association to have 100% of its total parking spaces EV-capable. However, nothing in this Act shall be construed to require that in the case of a developer converting the property to an association, no EV-capable or EV-ready mandate shall apply if it would necessitate the developer having to excavate an existing surface lot or other parking facility in order to retrofit the parking lot or facility with the necessary conduit and wiring. (b) The following requirements and timelines shall apply for affordable housing. A new construction single-family residence or small multifamily residence that qualifies as an affordable housing development under the same project ownership and is located on a campus with centralized parking areas is subject to the requirements and timelines below. All building permits issued 24 months after the effective date of this Act shall require a new construction large multifamily residence that qualifies as an affordable housing development to have the following, unless additional requirements are required under a subsequently adopted building code: (1) For permits issued 24 months after the effective date of this Act, a minimum of 40% EV-capable parking spaces. (2) For permits issued 5 years after the effective date of this Act, a minimum of 50% EV-capable parking spaces. (3) For permits issued 10 years after the effective date of this Act, a minimum of 70% EV-capable parking spaces. (d) An accessible parking space is not required by this Section if no accessible parking spaces are required by the local zoning code. (Source: P.A. 103-53, eff. 1-1-24; 103-605, eff. 7-1-24.)
