[music] To support EDIA's sustainability goals and meet the growing demand for electric vehicle infrastructure, a new EV charging station is being proposed for the city. Ayana Rechargery is looking to redevelop the former Kevin Keys Auto Shop on Vernon Avenue into a modern electric vehicle charging station. Last month, the city council reviewed the concept, which includes seven level three DC fast chargers and renovation of the existing building into a lounge style waiting area. The space could feature vending machines, a small convenience concept, or a third-party tenant to serve drivers while they charge. >> What we want to do is bring a different charging experience, right? Instead of just sitting in a parking lot and at some random retail store, we wanted to welcome you in like as a convenience store or gas station would, right? Come chill in our lounge, have get refreshed, juice up yourself and the cars itself, right? So, we noticed that that's not something that's around and we decided to take the opportunity uh to bring that as a service. Ayana Rechargery already operates locations in Brooklyn Park and Lino Lakes with another site scheduled to open soon in Blaine. While EV charging stations are a permitted use in this zoning district, the property is designated for medium density residential use in the city's comprehensive plan. Because of that, Ayana will need to seek a comprehensive plan amendment along with site plan approval and several variances before the project can move forward.
