Supercharger - Olema, CA (location found, in planning approval application process)

I found an application for Marin County Planning approval (Coastal Permit) for installation of a 6-stall, 150 kW supercharger station + 1 Clipper Creek L2 station next to or at the Olema House hotel (formerly The Lodge at Point Reyes). The linked summary page is wrong about the number of stalls, among other things (e.g. it's not an application for a New Single Family Residence :)) But the site plans linked at the bottom of that page are totally clear. Notably, the application hasn't yet been approved--the webpage is currently showing it as incomplete. And after this planning approval is granted, Tesla will still have to apply for an actual building permit. So I don't know that I'd expect it to be operational in this calendar year.

As for the location, it is right off Highway 1 at the intersection with Sir Francis Drake Blvd. Maybe 2.5 miles south of Point Reyes Station. It should provide a bit of supercharger coverage for west Marin County, CA-1 north of SF, and for those spending some time at Point Reyes National Seashore. Interestingly, there's currently no grey pin on Tesla's map that could reasonably be for this location. But, I've seen that this sort of "ghost" development of superchargers seems to be happening a bit more often recently. Not sure why.

What: New 6-stall, 150 kW supercharger station + 1 L2 station
Address: 10,005 Coastal Highway, Olema, CA 94950
GPS: 38.040224, -122.788345

Nice find, and excellent thread title composition. :D

I have camped with my trailer twice at the Olema RV campground, and plan to again. Very convenient Supercharger location for Tesla owners using that campground!

This part of Highway 1 is such a great drive. I would think they would eventually add 1 or 2 more, possible Fort Bragg or Mendocino. Bodega Bay is probably too close and there's not much between there and Mendocino. I guess given the consistently mild climate (and mostly longer range Teslas on the road now), they could maybe get away with a ~145 mile gap on this stretch of highway.

There's already one planned for Mendocino per Tesla's map.

No-real-change update: Still working through the planning approval process.

The Marin County planning site continues to show the status as incomplete, but it is still being worked. Evidence for this is that the set of plans linked at the bottom of the summary page has changed from a set originally received in March to one received in July.

The Coastal Permit and Design Review received conditional approval at the Zoning/Planning hearing on 2020-02-13 that I mentioned in the previous comment-- Final Resolution (PDF). This should clear the way for Tesla to start applying for building permits. Likely that process will take some months before actual construction can start. So, continued progress, but don't expect this one to be operational for a good while yet.
