City to consider short- term rental regulations

management would be allowed in all but one nonresidential zoning district and within some multifamily residences. Short-term rentals in operation prior to the adoption of a one-year interim ban may continue to operate. “There is a fear that we’re going to get overrun with these, and there’s a fear that they will get opened in every single neighborhood,” Commissioner David Downs said. “The market and the demand is going to resolve that issue.”

The Plano Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend approval of a policy to regulate short-term rentals in the city during its April 1 meeting. The recommendation would allow live-in short-term rentals within any residential district without a specific-use permit, so long as another short-term rental is not within 300 feet. Any live-in management rentals within 300 feet of another short-term rental would need to obtain a specific-use permit. Short- term rentals with off-site
