The town’s Planning & Zoning Commission on Monday will consider a request for a site plan for the proposed development, according to town documents. Tesla is requesting exceptions for underground utilities and architectural standards.

The proposed dealership would be one story and about 51,000 square feet, located at 1805 Justin Road, on an undeveloped 5.33-acre lot behind the RaceTrac, Valvoline Instant Oil Change, Christian Brothers Automotive and National Tire & Battery.

According to a letter from Tesla, the proposed store hours would be 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays, and noon to 6 p.m. on Sundays. Service hours would be 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays.

The site plan is expected to go to Flower Mound Town Council next month for approval.

In January 2022, the Flower Mound Town Council approved a Specific Use Permit for a boat dealership on the same property, but that development never moved forward. If the Tesla site plan is approved by council, the permit for the boat dealership would become invalid.
