The City Plan Commission broadly recommended on Thursday that Dallas prevent short-term rentals in single-family residential neighborhoods.
The council is likely to choose between three options: update zoning laws to require short-term rental owners to reside in the listed home in single-family residential areas, establish registration rules and penalties for bad hosts, or ban short-term rentals in single-family residential areas. A city study completed this month compared 911 and 311 calls of registered and potential short-term rentals to other residences. The study looked at calls about parking, litter and noise complaints. The study counted more than 2,600 short-term rentals in the city of Dallas, 88% of which are not tied to a complaint. A reported 123 rentals had a history of two or more calls.Some commissioners, like P.
P. Michael Jung , a member of the City Plan Commission, listens to questions during a briefing on amending the Dallas Development Code to limit short term housing at Dallas City Hall on Thursday, Dec. 8, 2022. The city housing director, David Noguera, advocated for solutions, saying if short-term rentals were outright banned, they won’t disappear, but just go “underground.” He doesn’t feel that the city should look at this as a binary issue, but rather how to equip the city to track and tax these rentals.
The anti-rental voice was vocal, citing examples of “party houses” with loud music, drugs, heavy litter and limited parking. Some called these rentals the “commercialization of neighborhoods.”
