Its approved! All "yeas" and no "nays".
Next is the city council vote to get final approval, not sure when that will be.

That would make sense. Google say it's only a seasonal Halloween store. Streetview shows that it It was a Hannaford, but in 2018/2019 that Hannaford moved, taking over and renovating space that was a KMart.Looks like the property address they are looking at is:
218 Hannafords Dr
South Burlington, VT 05403
Do you know if the actual vote will take place after the public hearing?
Spoke to the city planner. It’s a regular council meeting on 12/5. After public comment it will be up to the council to vote or not. Seems likely they will vote that night, but I would guess the comments received will play a role in that decision.Good question. I don't know. I left a voicemail for the City Planner. If I hear back I'll let you know. I suppose the Council could choose to vote at the end of the hearing.

I too watched last nights hearing for the proposed zoning change. Was happy to see it pass with no issues.One of the city council members said they received "a bunch" of favorable emails regarding the dealership vote, and that helped make their decision even easier, knowing the support it has.
just as long as somebody doesn't insist the superchargers be open to the public if telsa didn't want them to be? and scuttle the whole site (like Bedford NH).....I too watched last nights hearing for the proposed zoning change. Was happy to see it pass with no issues.
I assume last nights decision means nothing is standing in Tesla's way in terms of moving forward with their plans for the old Hannaford building. Hopefully they will move quickly with it and we will start seeing some updates/progress.
Last I heard they were planning not only Service but Sales and Distribution for the South Burlington location. With all that, such a large building, and a large parking lot I wonder if they will also look to install some superchargers at the location. Our area is pretty well covered with the 8 150kW chargers in South Burlington Healthy Living and the 8 250kW chargers in Williston, but you would think why not add some at the new proposed Tesla location.
An Act 250 permit request (Application 4C0238-4G) from Tesla was submitted on March 21st, 2023 with their intent to move forward in regards to utilizing the old Hannaford building on Shelburne Road.
A number of updated details can be found here, including site plans provided by Tesla: Act 250 - 4C0238-4G
So I was looking a little closer at some of the documents and it actually looks like they will have 10 Post mounted Tesla Wall Connectors on the side of the building. See the attached zoomed in image with the mention of "Post Mounted x 10" and the ten parking spots.Great news!!! Thanks for finding out this info! And we now have pictures of what the store will look like, down to the building design and types of chargers in the parking lot.
A few takeaways from looking over the designs:
1. There won't be any superchargers, just eight level 2 chargers on the side of the building. "EXTERIOR POST MOUNTED WALL CONNECTORS"
