City Council - Sep 23, 2026
Tesla wants to build a supercharging station near KFC, but the zoning code only allowed chargers as add-ons to other businesses. The new text amendment lets standalone charging facilities operate in C-2 commercial zones with a conditional use permit.

Planning & Zoning Commission - Aug 25, 2026
Tesla wants EV charging to be a primary use (not just accessory) in C-2 zones citywide, which would clear the way for a 16-stall NEVI-funded Supercharger station at Hall Road and Route 89. The city would get a 3% tax on electricity sold, and the chargers would be open to any EV brand. Staff recommends routing future facilities through the CUP process.
Page Utility Enterprises Board - Jul 14, 2026
The utility is limiting a proposed Tesla charging facility to 150 kW on the existing line, arguing car chargers grab huge capacity in short bursts and could gobble up space needed by future businesses. A policy discussion with the city's Development Services director is planned for August.

Would bring a universal-access fast-charging stop to the highway corridor, feeding customers to nearby restaurants and generating a 3% electricity tax for the city; any C-2 property could host similar facilities in the future.
Electric Vehicle Charging Facilities Text Amendment
If approved, EV charging could become permitted in more places across the city.
