     3    17-a. a. For the purposes of this subdivision:
     4    (i) "Substantial rehabilitation" means required repairs, replacements,
     5  and improvements involving the replacement of two or more major building
     6  components, or costing in excess of either fifteen percent (exclusive of
     7  any  soft costs) of the property's fair market value after completion of
     8  rehabilitation or six thousand five hundred dollars  per  dwelling  unit
     9  adjusted  by  the United States department of housing and urban develop-
    10  ment high cost percentage.
    11    (ii) "Major building component" means roof structures, wall  or  floor
    12  structures,  foundations,  and  plumbing, central heating and air condi-
    13  tioning, or electrical systems, that are significant to the building and
    14  its use, which are normally expected to last  the  useful  life  of  the
    15  building and not minor or cosmetic.
    16    b.  Standards  to  require  new  construction and buildings undergoing
    17  substantial rehabilitation which include  dedicated  off-street  parking
    18  areas to have:
    19    (i)  electric vehicle charging stations as defined in paragraph (b) of

        A. 3179--A                          2

     1    (ii) electric vehicle capable parking spaces, which have the appropri-

     4    c.  The number of spaces required by paragraph b of this section shall
     5  be as follows:
     6    (i) a one, two or three-family home equipped with a  garage,  driveway

     8  space, except that one, two or three-family homes undergoing substantial
     9  rehabilitation that does not involve a garage, driveway, or parking  lot
    10  shall be exempt from the requirements of this subdivision;
    11    (ii)  a  home  for  more  than three families with between two and ten
    12  parking spaces shall have at least  seventy-five  percent  of  available
    13  parking  spaces  be electric vehicle capable parking spaces, which shall
    14  include at least twenty percent of available parking spaces as  electric
    15  vehicle  charging  stations. If there is a decimal in the calculation of
    16  the percentage of parking spaces, such decimal shall be rounded  to  the
    17  next largest whole number;
