Planning commission removes short-term rental allowance for 134 Turnberry Lane
Summary
Coppell Planning and Zoning Commission approved a zoning amendment removing a short-term rental allowance for one guest room at 134 Turnberry Lane after the owner converted the property to a long-term rental.
The Coppell Planning and Zoning Commission on Oct. 16 approved an amendment to PD-134 that removes the short-term rental allowance for a guest room at 134 Turnberry Lane.
The change eliminates the planned-development provision that had allowed one bedroom at the 0.17-acre property to be used as a short-term rental. Staff told the commission the homeowner has moved and converted the house to a long-term rental, and recommended removing the short-term rental provision. "The applicant has recently moved and has converted the home to a long term rental," staff said during the hearing.
The item matters because the short-term rental allowance was part of a PD revision previously granted by the city; removing the allowance returns the parcel to the underlying PD conditions and prevents the specific short-term rental authorization from continuing while the property is a long-term rental. If a future owner seeks to operate an STR at the address, they would need to return to the city and request authorization.
Staff explained that the city requires a Special Use Permit for short-term rentals under an ordinance adopted May 30, 2023, and that because the use had been authorized in a PD revision, removing the STR requires an adjustment to the PD. Staff also said notices were mailed as required under state law and that they had received one inquiry about the request. The applicant, who identified herself on the record as Aditi Correll of 134 Turnberry Lane, said she has moved out and the property is listed for long-term rental.
Commissioner Hafeeman moved to approve the PD amendment to remove the short-term rental provision; Commissioner Bishop seconded. The roll call vote recorded Commissioners Donmeyer, Vice Chair Sue Blankenship, Hafeeman and Bishop voting in favor. "All approved. None opposed. Motion carries," the clerk said.
The commission approved the PD change subject to the original PD conditions for the subdivision. The amendment took effect as the commission recorded its vote; the property will no longer carry the specific PD authorization for the one-room short-term rental.
