Fulshear City Council to Consider Town Square Development, 91-Acre Rezoning, Road Extension and Cell Tower at October 20 Meeting

The Fulshear City Council will meet Tuesday, October 20, 2026, at 6 p.m. at the Fulshear Municipal Complex, located at 6611 W. Cross Creek Bend Lane in Fulshear, Texas.

The meeting agenda includes possible action on the proposed Fulshear Town Square project, rezoning approximately 91 acres for the Waters Planned Unit Development, a Huggins Drive extension, a cellular antenna permit near Cross Creek Ranch and several infrastructure-related agreements.

For homeowners, families and business owners throughout Fulshear and western Fort Bend County, the discussions offer an opportunity to follow how the city is addressing growth while considering transportation access, neighborhood development and public services.

Fulshear Town Square Development and Financing Agreement Up for Consideration

One of the meeting's notable agenda items involves the proposed Fulshear Town Square project, which could play a role in the city's evolving commercial and civic landscape.

Council members are scheduled to consider a memorandum of understanding between the City of Fulshear and 1093 FTS LLC regarding the development and financing of Fulshear Town Square.

A memorandum of understanding generally establishes a framework for how parties intend to proceed with a project. The proposed agreement is an important step for residents following downtown development, although approval would not necessarily mean that construction is ready to begin.

The discussion comes as Fulshear continues to balance new residential and commercial growth with its established small-town character. For residents who regularly travel outside the community for shopping, dining or entertainment, future local development remains an area of interest.

Council will also consider a proposal from TIP Strategies to update the city's economic development strategic plan. That discussion could provide insight into how Fulshear intends to approach business recruitment, commercial investment and long-term economic development.

Proposed 91-Acre Waters Development Could Bring Zoning Changes

Another significant portion of the October 20 agenda concerns the Waters Planned Unit Development (PUD).

City Council will consider Ordinance No. 2026-1540, which proposes rezoning approximately 91.1 acres in Fort Bend County as the Waters Planned Unit Development.

A related ordinance, No. 2026-1541, would dissolve the existing Wallis Street Planned Unit Development and replace it with the Waters Planned Unit Development within the city's Coordinated Development Ordinance.

Planned unit developments establish zoning standards for specific properties and can address how land will be used and developed. For nearby homeowners, such changes can be important because they help determine the framework for future development.

The agenda also includes proposed amendments to development agreements involving Fulshear Investments, LLC, Fulshear Equine, LLC, Mason Equest Investment, LLC and Louis A. Waters, along with a separate amendment involving Fulshear Investments.

Council will additionally consider an agreement reallocating utility connections among several development-related parties, including Pulte Homes of Texas, L.P., Fulshear WF-I Land, LLC and Integrated Fulshear II SLP, LLC.

Together, the items reflect the coordination required between land use, development agreements and utility capacity as Fulshear continues growing.

The agenda does not establish that the proposed zoning changes or related agreements have been approved. Those decisions remain before City Council.

Huggins Drive Extension Could Affect Future Transportation Connections

Transportation is another area residents may want to follow, particularly as development brings additional vehicles onto local roads.

City Council is scheduled to consider a cost-sharing agreement for the construction of ST27D: Huggins Drive Extension (Charger Way Connection).

The proposal concerns a roadway connection identified in the city's transportation planning. Cost-sharing agreements can establish how construction expenses are divided among participating parties.

For residents who travel through Fulshear for school, work, shopping and neighborhood activities, new road connections may eventually affect how traffic moves through the community.

However, the published meeting agenda does not establish a construction start date or completion timeline for the Huggins Drive extension.

Council will also consider dedicating right-of-way along Woods Road from the City of Fulshear to Fort Bend County, another action related to local transportation infrastructure.

Cell Tower Proposal Near Cross Creek Ranch Returns After Earlier Postponement

A cellular antenna proposal that previously drew questions from residents is returning to the City Council agenda.

Council members are scheduled to reconsider Ordinance No. 2026-1549, which would grant a specific use permit for a cellular antenna at 27500 Fulshear Bend Drive, in an area designated as a Semi-Urban Residential District.

The proposed tower was discussed during the September 15, 2026, City Council meeting, when residents from Cross Creek Ranch and surrounding areas raised concerns about the proposed location and its proximity to their neighborhoods.

According to the September meeting minutes included in the October agenda packet, council members voted to postpone action until additional information could be obtained concerning the issues raised.

The October 20 meeting gives the council another opportunity to consider the permit.

For residents, the discussion involves questions about neighborhood compatibility and telecommunications infrastructure. The outcome could determine whether the specific proposed location receives the city approval under consideration.

Separately, the consent agenda includes an electric easement to CenterPoint Energy to provide power to a cell tower and antenna at Primrose Park. That is a distinct agenda item from the permit request at 27500 Fulshear Bend Drive.

Drainage Improvements, Utility Fees and Water Infrastructure Also on Agenda

Several proposed actions concern the infrastructure residents rely on daily, including drainage systems, water meters and utility operations.

Council will consider an amendment to an agreement for the design of the Downtown Eastside Drainage (4th Street) Phase I and Phase II project.

Although the agenda does not provide a new construction schedule, continued design work is relevant to residents interested in stormwater management and long-term drainage improvements.

Other consent agenda items include a proposed impact fee conservation credit and amendments to regional detention capacity fees and insufficient funds fees within the city's fee schedule.

The council is also scheduled to consider purchasing agreements that would support water and wastewater operations, including:

• Up to $175,000 in budgeted utility supplies through USA BlueBook for maintenance, water-quality testing and employee safety equipment.

• Up to $250,000 in budgeted Sensus water meters and related services through Aqua Metric.

• Up to $125,000 in budgeted meter-related supplies from Katy-based Accurate Utility Supply.

Additional purchasing agreements involving Tron Electric and Vector Controls, along with procedures for procuring professional engineering services, are also listed.

While these purchases may be less visible than new buildings or roads, they support the systems that serve existing neighborhoods and accommodate future development.

Primrose Park Food Trucks and E-Bike Rules Among Community Topics

The meeting will also touch on matters that families and recreational visitors may encounter more directly.

City Council is scheduled to consider updating the Primrose Park Athletic Facility Use Policy to establish food truck regulations and fees.

According to the agenda packet, the proposed policy would designate one food truck parking space near the athletic fields, available for $50 per day. Mobile food vendors would also need to meet applicable health permitting requirements.

The change could provide another food option for families attending games, tournaments and other activities at Primrose Park, while establishing rules for where vendors may operate.

Council will separately discuss and possibly take action regarding e-bikes and other similar devices. The agenda does not specify a final proposal or particular restrictions, so residents interested in local e-bike regulations may want to follow that discussion.

Other council business includes appointments to the City of Fulshear Development Corporation board, revisions to the city employee handbook, and rules concerning board and commission attendance and conduct.

The consent agenda additionally includes approval of the Fulshear Commons final plat and proposed retirement benefit adjustments for eligible city employees and retirees under the Texas Municipal Retirement System.

Parkland Acquisition and Heritage Bend Boundary Dispute May Be Discussed

The council's agenda also provides for a closed executive session covering potential parkland acquisition and a jurisdictional boundary dispute involving properties associated with the Heritage Bend development and Municipal Utility District No. 277.

Possible action concerning parkland acquisition or a settlement involving MUD No. 277 and related parties is listed following the executive session.

For residents following future recreational amenities or jurisdictional matters affecting development, those items could be worth monitoring. The agenda does not identify a finalized parkland purchase or settlement.

How Fulshear Residents Can Attend and Participate

The October 20, 2026, Fulshear City Council meeting is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. in the Council Chambers at the Fulshear Municipal Complex, 6611 W. Cross Creek Bend Lane, Fulshear, TX 77441.

The meeting includes a citizen comment period during which residents may address City Council about agenda and non-agenda items.

According to the posted agenda, speakers must register in advance, and comments are limited to three minutes per speaker. Additional limitations apply to matters that have already been the subject of a closed public hearing.

Residents can review city information and meeting materials through the City of Fulshear's official website.

With so many projects at different stages of planning, the meeting represents an opportunity for residents to better understand what is being considered before decisions are made.

What Happens Next for Fulshear?

Not every agenda item will necessarily result in an immediate change. Some decisions could authorize agreements or establish policies, while others may lead to additional planning, design work or future council discussions.

What connects the October 20 agenda is the broader question facing a growing community: how to accommodate new development and infrastructure needs while maintaining the qualities residents value about living in Fulshear.

For families settling into new neighborhoods, longtime homeowners and local business owners, following these decisions can provide a clearer picture of how the city is changing and what may come next.
