Fulshear City Council held a pivotal meeting on July 15, 2025, focusing on two significant public hearings regarding the development of a cell tower and a food truck park in the downtown district.

The first hearing addressed a proposal for a cell tower in the semi-urban residential district, specifically at Cross Creek Ranch Water Plant. The applicant is seeking a specific use permit under the city’s coordinated development ordinance. This hearing is part of a two-step process, with the Planning and Zoning Commission having already held its session on July 11. The council emphasized that both hearings are open to public input, allowing residents to voice their opinions on the proposed developments.

During the meeting, community member North Parcel passionately advocated for the food truck park, highlighting its potential to enhance downtown Fulshear. He urged the council to support local businesses and expressed confidence in the community's ability to address any infrastructure challenges that may arise. Parcel's commitment to fostering a vibrant downtown resonated with council members, who acknowledged the importance of community engagement in the development process.

Concerns were raised by residents regarding the implications of new developments, particularly about drainage and traffic. Real estate broker Brandy Huber voiced apprehensions about potential runoff issues and the impact on existing homes. The council assured attendees that these concerns would be addressed as the projects move forward.

As the meeting concluded, the council approved all consent items, signaling a commitment to advancing Fulshear's growth while considering community feedback. The next steps for both projects will involve further discussions and adjustments based on public input, ensuring that the developments align with the city's vision for a thriving downtown.
