Fulshear P&Z approves plats and one SUP, postpones multiple zoning items for further review
Summary
The commission approved final plats for Fulshear Lakes, recommended an assisted-living SUP and postponed the Waters PUD and several ordinance amendments and SUPs to allow staff to obtain more information and negotiate conditions.
Fulshear — At its Jan. 9 meeting the Planning and Zoning Commission moved a slate of routine plats and land-use items and set follow-up steps on several contested code and zoning proposals.
The commission approved the minutes from Dec. 5, 2025, and recommended approval of the Fulshear Lakes Lakeside Park Bridal Street dedication final plat and the Fulshear Lakes Lakeside Park section 7 final plat, with a condition to clarify street naming and addressing to avoid duplicate house numbers.
The commission also recommended approval of ordinance 2026-1522, a specific-use permit for an assisted-living/memory-care center on Dixon Road. A separate SUP for a cellular antenna at the Pecan Knoll water tower (ordinance 2026-1521) was postponed because the application lacked required materials; staff said the applicant later submitted documents after the deadline.
Code housekeeping items — including dissolving the Wallace Street PUD and replacing it in the code with the Waters PUD (ordinance 2026-1523) — were postponed pending resolution of the Waters PUD and better-defined posting/notice. Commissioners asked staff to confirm how PUD adoption would interact with existing development and utility agreements and how impact-fee provisions would apply.
Annexation/zoning: The commission reviewed annexation and proposed semi-urban residential zoning for Eagle Landing Park (~20–25 acres). Because the property is city-owned and currently used as parkland, commissioners asked staff to develop a more appropriate zoning category for parks/green space rather than leaving a future default that could allow residential or multifamily uses; the commission voted to recommend denial of the proposed residential zoning and asked staff to return with a tailored zoning designation.
Ending: Several items were postponed to allow staff to return with concept plans, tract-by-tract land-use breakdowns, traffic and drainage studies, and legal clarifications before forwarding final recommendations to city council on Jan. 20.
