In April 2006, the Bryan City Council approved an ordinance creating a new zoning classification, Residential – Neighborhood Conservation District. The R-NC District is a residential zoning classification intended primarily for low-density residential uses. Other residential zoning classifications allow up to four (4) individuals that are not related to each other (by blood, marriage or adoption) to occupy a single-family dwelling. In R-NC Districts, only two (2) individuals that are not related to each other (by blood, marriage or adoption) can legally live in a single-family dwelling.
