Fulshear Planning and Zoning Commission: approvals for plats, minutes and a telecommunications permit
The Fulshear Planning and Zoning Commission on March 7, 2025, took several procedural and project actions, including approval of minutes, plat approvals in the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ), and a recommendation for a telecommunications specific use permit.

Votes at a glance
- Approve minutes (02/07/2025): Motion to approve minutes passed.
- Majestic Townhomes at Fulshear — Preliminary plat (ETJ, off Rogers Road): The commission approved the preliminary plat, subject to comments and review of civil engineering plans before final plat. The applicant said units will be primarily two‑story, front‑loading townhomes; the developer indicated they can provide project renderings and may add visitor parking during civil review.
- Jordan Ranch Boulevard Church Subdivision — Final plat (reapproval/resubmittal): The commission recommended approval; staff described the submission as a reapproval to refresh an expiring plat.
- Summerwell Tamarind West — Final plat (ETJ): The commission recommended approval; staff identified only minor plat corrections.
- Tamarind West Commercial Reserve — Final plat (ETJ): The commission recommended approval following required corrections.
- Ordinance No. 2025-1481 (Chapter 28 CDO amendments): The commission recommended approval of the ordinance package with direction that staff address commission concerns (see separate article).
- AMS Wireless — Specific use permit for a telecommunications tower (industrial district; proposed 150‑foot tower): The commission recommended approval of the SUP. The applicant said the tower would be designed for colocation by three carriers (four depending on final configuration) and that AT&T was the first interested carrier; construction was estimated to begin in summer 2025 pending environmental clearances. Commissioners discussed fencing and landscape screening and asked the applicant to follow city fence and landscaping requirements.

Meeting actions and notes
- Most plat approvals were recommended with standard staff conditions and the expectation that outstanding engineering comments be addressed before final plat filing. Staff and applicants noted drainage, driveway spacing and fire‑lane clearances will be reviewed by Fort Bend County engineering and city staff as part of the civil review process. Several commissioners asked for renderings and clarification of visitor parking for the Majestic Townhomes project.
- On the AMS Wireless item, commissioners asked about tower lighting and landscaping. The applicant stated the tower height is below FAA lighting thresholds and that a six‑foot chain‑link fence with additional screening was proposed; commissioners expressed a preference for higher quality screening or an eight‑foot fence per city standards where feasible.

Formal motions
- A motion to approve the February 7, 2025 minutes was made and carried.
- A motion to approve the Majestic Townhomes preliminary plat (subject to staff comments) was made by a commissioner and seconded; the motion carried.
- Motions to recommend approval of the Jordan Ranch Boulevard Church subdivision final plat, Summerwell Tamarind West final plat, and Tamarind West Commercial Reserve final plat were made and carried.
- Commissioner Amond moved and Commissioner Dowdle seconded to recommend approval of the AMS Wireless specific use permit for construction of a telecommunications tower; the motion carried.
