The Fulshear Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on May 2, 2025, focused on a revised development proposal aimed at enhancing community amenities while addressing previous concerns. The proposal includes a senior living facility and community center in the southeast corner of the property, complemented by retail and entertainment options, as well as recreational facilities like tennis and pickleball courts.
Key features of the plan include a 6.2-acre detention area along the western border, a 50-foot landscape buffer with mature trees and shrubs, and a 4.8-acre restricted reserve that may serve future city needs. The developers emphasized their commitment to creating a project that aligns with the city's vision and community interests.
Traffic concerns raised in earlier meetings were also addressed. The developers proposed access through the Fulshear Central property and are in discussions with county officials and Hines Development regarding the extension of McKinnon Road to connect with Texas Heritage Parkway. This initiative aims to alleviate traffic issues in the area while providing necessary access for the new development.
A development agreement is being drafted to establish specific uses and development standards, responding to feedback from prior meetings. The developers expressed hope that the revised design would be more acceptable to the Planning and Zoning Commission and ultimately recommended for approval by the city council.
