The City of Westminster Board of Zoning Appeals held a meeting on May 6, 2026, to consider a special exception request for the installation of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at 1023 Baltimore Boulevard, the site of an existing automobile service station known as Sheets. The applicant requested approval to modify a previous special exception granted in 2016 to include up to eight EV charging stalls, with four to be installed initially and four in the future. The board reviewed the application against zoning criteria, including impacts on traffic, property values, and compatibility with surrounding land uses. City staff recommended conditional approval, noting the project supports sustainable transportation infrastructure without negatively affecting utilities or neighborhood character. After discussion, the board voted unanimously to approve the special exception subject to staff-recommended conditions. No other business was discussed, and the meeting was adjourned.
