Description
In 1998 appellee Joyce Vandergrifft, an employee of the City of Freeport, approached Gary Stone, then the city manager of Freeport, and asked him whether she could locate a "HUD-code manufactured home" at 102 Slaughter Road in Freeport. Stone told her that she could. However, a short while later Stone was no longer city manager, and the city sued Vandergrifft seeking various injunctive relief and a declaratory judgment on the theory that the presence of Vandergriffts HUD-code manufactured home at 102 Slaughter Road violated the citys zoning ordinance. Vandergrifft argued that Freeports zoning ordinance was pre-empted by the Texas Manufactured Housing Standards Act, and that Stones permission estopped the city from asserting the present action. Both parties moved for summary judgment, and the trial court granted summary judgment for Vandergrifft but declined to award attorneys fees. We hold that, because Freeports zoning ordinance fails to account for changes in the treatment of HUD-code manufactured homes and mobile homes required by the Act, the zoning ordinance was of no effect as to Vandergrifft and affirm the judgment of the trial court.
