In response to grievances from residents, some Plano City Council members proposed the idea.
Several council members suggested the idea after a long discussion about the properties on Monday night.
Citing rulings regarding cities like Grapevine, which has faced legal trouble for regulating short-term rentals, Mims said relying on current definitions to prohibit STRs would be indefensible. Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Maria Tu said, while she wants to protect neighbors, she’s also concerned about legal implications and if an outright ban would be responsible.
Other council members voiced that they wanted to prioritize residents’ concerns and respect the active zoning ordinances, which prohibit hotels, motels and bed and breakfasts from single-family residential areas. Short-term rentals are properties rented out for 30 days or less through platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo.
Residents want Plano to follow Arlington’s model, where short-term rentals are restricted to the entertainment zone and banned from single-family residential neighborhoods. While the city has begun a short-term rental registration process and is collecting data from municipalities like Arlington, Mims said Plano is different and doesn’t have the same zoning definitions as Arlington.
