Coppell commission approves removal of short‑term rental allowance at 134 Turnberry Lane
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Commission voted to amend PD‑134 to remove a previously approved short‑term rental 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 voted to approve an amendment to Planned Development 134 on Oct. 16, removing authorization for a one‑room short‑term rental at 134 Turnberry Lane.
Staff said the change was requested because the property owner converted the house to a long‑term rental and no longer needed the short‑term rental (STR) allowance. Mary Barnum Boswell, presenting for staff, told the commission that the city last revised its STR rules on May 30, 2023, when “the Coppell City Council approved an ordinance amending the code of ordinance chapter 12 article 30 to provide an SUP if you wanted to do an STR.”
The property owner, Aditi Correll, addressed the commission and said she had moved out and the home was being offered as a long‑term rental. “No presentation. I just wanna request to get this removed. I’ve already moved out from the property, and this property has been listed for long term rental at this time,” Correll said.
Commissioners moved and seconded the staff‑recommended revision to PD‑134 to remove the STR allowance for the guest room. The roll call recorded four ayes, the motion carried and the PD revision was approved with the property remaining subject to the original PD subdivision conditions.
The change removes the special authorization that previously allowed the separate guest room to operate as an STR; future owners who wish to operate a short‑term rental would need to return to the city for the required approvals. No one spoke in opposition during the public hearing portion, and staff reported one informational phone call from a nearby resident prior to the meeting.
Votes at the meeting on this item were recorded as: Commissioner Dobbmeier — yes; Vice Chair Sue Blankenship — yes; Commissioner Hafeman — yes; Commissioner Bishop — yes. The commission noted that the STR allowance runs with the land unless formally removed, so the revision clarifies the site’s zoning for future owners.
