In February 2015, Mark Kristen, of Kristen Distributing Company, had submitted an owner- initiated request for annexation. Annexation of Mr. Kristen’s 25-acre property along State Highway 6 was not possible without the annexation of additional land that is at least 1,000 feet in width, per State law. On January 17, 2019, during its regular meeting, the City of Bryan and Brazos County Economic Development Foundation, Inc. (EDF) Board of Directors voted to approve the annexation of EDF-

130 – Zoning by eliminating all of Section 130-29 - Mixed Use Residential District (MU-1); converting the depiction of all parcels of land currently described on the Official Zoning District Map as MU-1 to Residential District – 5000 (RD-5); and removing all references to the Mixed Use Residential District (MU-1) from other parts of the City of Bryan Code of Ordinances, specifically Chapters 38 – Environment; 62 – Land and Site Development; 98 – Signs; and 118 – Traffic and Vehicles.
The Comprehensive Plan, Blueprint 2040, identifies several factors that relate to standards of residential development in some areas of Bryan that merit review and possible action to produce positive change. Specifically addressed in the plan is the issue of Mixed Use - Residential District (MU-1) zoning and manufactured housing.

replace mobile/manufactured homes with site-built homes.
The following guidelines should be incorporated into revised zoning standards for manufactured homes:
The MU-1, mixed use residential district is a special and unique zoning district, which will be appropriate to smaller lots in relatively few areas of the city. The district is intended as an interim zoning classification to aid in transition of certain areas of the city to a permanent zoning district classification in the future.

1. manufactured housing is a major affordable housing resource that must satisfy national construction and safety standards; 2. manufactured housing has been a significant component of the local affordable housing market; 3. there are common concerns about the quality, appearance, durability and lack of price appreciation of manufactured housing, and the perceived negative impact these factors have on neighboring property values; 4. such concerns are driven by the existence of dilapidated manufactured housing units that have, through normal wear and tear or lack of proper maintenance, passed the end of their service life but are still in use as dwellings; 5. continuing to allow the installation of manufactured homes on individual lots will create conditions having a long-term negative effect on the welfare of the public; 6. the Mixed Use - Residential District (MU-1), the only district which allows manufactured homes on individual lots by right, was established 30 years ago as a temporary district classification;
7. the zoning ordinance should be amended by eliminating the MU-1 District and converting all existing properties so zoned to Residential District – 5000 (RD-5) 8. the conversion of MU-1 to RD-5 will effect approximately 2,606 properties; 9. the conversion of MU-1 to RD-5 will render approximately 750 existing mobile / manufactured homes a legal nonconforming use (grandfathered);
