Nacogdoches creates R-3M district to allow HUD-code homes under Texas SB 785
Nacogdoches, Texas, city council unanimously approved zoning changes allowing HUD-code manufactured homes by right in a new R-3M district to comply with SB 785.
Key facts
- The Nacogdoches City Council voted unanimously on three measures to comply with Senate Bill 785, which was set to take effect September 1.
- Nacogdoches ended by-right permission for manufactured homes around 2004, leaving existing homes classified as nonconforming.
- The new R-3M district mirrors R-3 but allows HUD-code manufactured homes by right, while manufactured home parks stay under a separate zoning category.
- The roughly 30-acre, 69-lot Millard’s Apple Park subdivision on Wen Road was rezoned from R-3 to R-3M.
- Homes placed in R-3M must be no more than two years old, never previously occupied, and anchored under HUD foundation guidelines.
