A new 7-Eleven convenience store and gas station is nearing completion at South Hulen Street and West Cleburne Crowley Road, situated between two sprawling new housing developments in the fast-growing city of Crowley and Chisholm Trail corridor.
The Hulen Trails development sits immediately to the north of West Cleburne Crowley Road. It is a master-planned community featuring single family homes by multiple builders.
Another master-planned community, Longhorn Estates, is south of the 7-Eleven location. D.R. Horton Inc. is building the single-family homes in this development.
According to the city’s website, Crowley’s population has grown by an average 4.98% per year since 2010 to its current 20,483. Continued new home construction, new retail offerings and expansion of the Crowley ISD schools indicate growth is showing no signs of slowing.
Edwards Sign Service on Feb. 18 asked the Fort Worth Board of Adjustment to approve special exceptions to zoning requirements for construction of two brick monument signs with electronic fuel price displays at the new 7-Eleven.
The board voted unanimously to approve the special exceptions. In other business, the board reviewed two other commercial cases and six residential cases.
At the end of the meeting, board member Kay Duffy inquired about the status of planned zoning requirement changes that were promised in late 2025, when Fort Worth City Council members combined the city’s separate commercial and residential boards of adjustment into one. The changes were intended to reduce the case load on the combined board by removing the need for variances and special exceptions that are routinely approved.
Staff told board members the changes are still under review. No projected completion date was offered. Duffy asked whether changes related to gas station electronic signs are included, since those cases frequently come to the board for approval.
Staff responded that those changes aren’t presently included, but they said they’ll schedule a future work session to review status and provide feedback.
