Just days after gunfire erupted in a Dallas neighborhood from a loud party at a vacation rental, the Dallas City Council makes a move to regulate short-term rentals. Council members plan to officially vote next week on regulation recommendations.
Many cities throughout North Texas have passed ordinances that say where short-term rentals can be allowed to operate, but a bill discussed Wednesday, as originally proposed, would have undone those ordinances.Stethem says the shots came from the house next door during a party. Neighbors took videos of the hundreds of people who came and blocked the street.
Stethem says the house is a short-term rental. After the incident, neighbors on the street are fed up. Short-term rentals were again on the agenda at Wednesday’s Dallas City Council meeting. The city planning commission is pushing for an ordinance that would effectively ban STRs in residential neighborhoods. But city officials say that may be tough to enforce.Lisa Sievers has two short-term rental properties. She disagrees with a zoning change and wants the properties where calls for loud noises, parties and shootings to be shut down.
