The Southlake Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on June 5, 2025, focused on the approval of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at two locations in the city. The discussions centered around the installation of chargers at SEMA headquarters and Mustang Business Park, reflecting the city's commitment to enhancing EV infrastructure.

The first item on the agenda involved the installation of two EV chargers at SEMA headquarters, located at 380 South Nolan. These chargers will serve a total of four parking spaces and will be marked with appropriate signage. The property owner will maintain the chargers to ensure they are safe and compliant with local codes. The chargers are designed to be universal, allowing any electric vehicle to use them, although they will primarily be for company use. The charging process will be credit card operated, with options for QR code payments.

The second item discussed was a proposal for seven EV chargers at Mustang Business Park, which will serve 14 parking spaces across three buildings on Mustang Court. The site is zoned for industrial use, and the chargers will also be maintained by the property owner. There were no objections or support from surrounding property owners for either project.

Commission members expressed their approval of the initiatives, highlighting the aesthetic benefits of the installations and the importance of providing EV charging options. Both proposals were unanimously approved, with the commission emphasizing the need for continued development of EV infrastructure in Southlake.

The meeting concluded with a positive outlook on the future of EV charging in the area, as these installations are expected to enhance accessibility for electric vehicle users and support the city's sustainability goals.
