Coppell council removes short‑term rental allowance for Turnberry Lane property
Summary
Council voted to remove the special-use short‑term rental allowance for a 0.17‑acre property at 134 Turnberry Lane; Planning staff said the owner converted the home back to long‑term rental and the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended removing the STR allowance.
The Coppell City Council voted Nov. 11 to remove a previously approved short‑term rental (STR) allowance from the planned development (PD) for a property at 134 Turnberry Lane.
Planning staff said the property owner, D.T. Carroll, has owned the house since 2021. The home previously had a Planning and Zoning–approved STR permit allowing rental of one of the five bedrooms (approved in November 2024), but the owner has since moved and converted the house back to a long‑term rental. Staff explained that the city's Code of Ordinances (Chapter 12, Article 30) requires STRs to have a special‑use permit in addition to registration.
Staff told the council the city sent 23 notices within 200 feet and 116 courtesy notices within 800 feet; the Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the PD revision removing STR as an allowable use for the property.
Council member Prem Kumar moved to close the public hearing and approve the PD revision; Council member Nevills seconded and the motion carried on a roll‑call vote.
The council’s action restores the property to the original PD conditions for the subdivision and removes the local authorization for that dwelling unit to operate as a special‑use STR.
