Infrastructure and Growth Committee | October 13, 2026

The City of Fort Worth Infrastructure and Growth Committee met on October 13, 2026. Members approved the May 12 meeting minutes by voice vote. The committee then received a briefing on zoning regulations for Texas’s Compassionate Use Program. Staff proposed defining licensed satellite pickup locations as pharmacies, allowing them wherever pharmacies are permitted, and defining cultivation and processing facilities as a separate land use, with staff recommending that those uses be allowed in industrial districts, including light industrial (I). The changes are intended to align city zoning with state law; staff noted that the state tightly regulates the program and currently limits each licensee to one cultivation site per public health region.

Members discussed whether light-industrial zoning is appropriate for cultivation and processing facilities near residential areas, with several expressing opposition to allowing those uses in light industrial districts because of potential impacts on nearby communities. Staff said the committee could recommend removing that district, but the transcript ends without a formal decision or vote on the zoning proposal. No procurement, contract awards, or spending actions were identified.
