Fulshear council approves Pit Stop convenience store/gas station SUP for Fulshear Junction with design and buffering conditions
Summary
The City Council approved a specific-use permit for a Pit Stop convenience store and gas station at the Fulshear Junction site, subject to revised site plans, an 8-foot masonry wall adjacent to single-family homes, pedestrian connectivity and full compliance with downtown-district architectural standards.
The Fulshear City Council on Aug. 18 approved a specific-use permit (SUP) allowing a Pit Stop convenience store and gas station at a 0.77-acre parcel in Fulshear Junction, subject to conditions recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission and city staff.
Planning staff told council the applicant had addressed many prior recommendations and provided updated site plans and elevations. Staff said the Planning & Zoning Commission requested an on-site pedestrian connection from the store to the neighboring cul-de-sac and an 8-foot masonry wall where the site abuts single-family residences; staff said the applicant had agreed to those items and the final building will have to meet the downtown-district design standards.
Applicant—s presentation and design commitments Nikky Punjani, representing the applicant, told council the project team limited fueling infrastructure "to four pumps" to reduce drive-up congestion and planned two EV chargers. Punjani said the developer intends the store to serve neighborhood customers and that diesel capability would be provided on two pump islands for local service vehicles.
Council conditions and vote Councilmember Canopy moved to approve the SUP on the condition the applicant provide a revised site plan consistent with the most recent elevations and the Planning & Zoning Commission recommendations, and that the building comply fully with the downtown district (CDO) architectural and design standards. Councilmember Barron seconded; the motion passed unanimously.
What was required as conditions - Revised site plan consistent with the elevations submitted to staff and the Planning & Zoning Commission recommendations. - Pedestrian connectivity from the store to the neighboring cul-de-sac, per Planning & Zoning. - An 8-foot masonry wall on the west and south sides where the site borders single-family homes. - Final architecture and materials to meet downtown-district standards before building permit approval.
Next steps Staff will review the applicant's final civil and architectural plans for compliance with the SUP conditions and the City's downtown design standards before issuance of permits. The council's approval was conditioned on those plan-level checks; council retained final sign-off authority through standard permitting review.
