The big picture
At a July 15 meeting, Fulshear City Council approved a specific use permit for The Track FTX, a food truck park, to be located at 8418 First St. The park is slated to include a 4,500-square-foot building adjacent to truck sites, according to agenda documents.
However, City Council will require the business to construct an 8-foot wall to secure parking agreements with neighboring businesses due to parking constraints.
“This is an exciting concept, very popular in a lot of other cities, and it’s going to be extremely family-friendly, so we are looking forward [to it],” Mayor Don McCoy said in a council recap video.
The details
The park will feature both itinerant trucks with one permanent truck, Planning Director Josh Brothers said. Developers also plan to sell alcohol and will offer live music shows.
“What you see here is not a typical food truck park,” Brothers said. “It is more of a dine-in restaurant, but instead of the kitchen inside serving the guests, it’s done by the food trucks themselves.”
Zooming out
The development comes as the city is underway with its $3.75 million reconstruction of Harris Street from FM 1093 to Fifth Street, Community Impact reported. The project, which began in October, will also add street parking and construct a pedestrian plaza.
In June, City Council also approved both East and West Downtown street projects, including overlays and reconstruction, respectively.
Looking ahead
Community Impact reached out to the city of Fulshear to learn more about the cost and timeline of the project, but the information was not returned by press time.
