Parking Lot Upgrades and EV Charging Stations

To participate in Santa Barbara County’s Clean Air Grants Infrastructure Program, The City of Solvang opted to install new EV charging stations in two parking lots; one existing lot to be upgraded, and one proposed parking lot. Cannon developed conceptual and final design documents for the proposed parking lot. The design included low impact development (LID) features mimicking the site’s hydrology and permeable materials to promote water infiltration, as well as a sub-basin trash capture device and energy dissipation structure.
Cannon’s electrical team coordinated with PG&E for a new electrical service. The electrical system infrastructure included a main switchboard, distribution panel, step-down transformer, and lighting panel. The City also requested site lighting, an entry gate motor, and a security system.
