Residents oppose gas station proposal at Fulshear Junction subdivision
The Fulshear Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on May 2, 2025, focused on a contentious rezoning proposal for a gas station in the Fulshear Junction subdivision. Residents expressed strong opposition, citing concerns about the impact on the community's character and quality of life.

One resident highlighted that Fulshear already has multiple gas stations within close proximity, arguing that adding another would contribute to noise and traffic issues, particularly from fuel trucks. He emphasized that the gas station's location near residential housing would detract from the community's livability, suggesting that alternative commercial developments could better serve the area.

Another resident, who identified herself as the wife of the first speaker, echoed these sentiments but added her perspective on the community's vision. She noted that Fulshear Junction is marketed as a walkable neighborhood with parks and trails, and placing a gas station nearby would clash with this image. She advocated for more suitable commercial options, such as coffee shops, that would enhance the community rather than disrupt it.

The discussions underscored a broader concern among residents about maintaining the unique character of Fulshear as it continues to develop. The commission will need to weigh these community voices against the proposed development as they move forward with the rezoning decision.
