Commission recommends approval for short-term rental at 865 Cantrell Street
Summary
The commission recommended approval of a specific-use permit to allow short-term rental use at 865 Cantrell Street, with staff noting the property had no recorded nuisance calls in the past 12 months and conditions limiting occupancy and parking.
The Waxahachie Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval of ZDC-54-2025 on May 27, allowing short-term rental use at 865 Cantrell Street in a multifamily-residential-1 zoning district, subject to conditions in the staff report.
Caleb, the presenting staff member, said the primary structure is roughly 2,084 square feet with two bedrooms and that staff mailed 37 notices to property owners within 500 feet; he reported the Waxahachie Police Department had recorded no nuisance-related calls for the property in the prior 12 months. Caleb clarified the recommended conditions, noting a maximum occupancy of six people and a maximum of two off-street parking spaces. The emergency contact for the property, Dustin Michael Weber, told commissioners he will reside on-site in the one‑bedroom unit separated from the rental area. Commissioner (speaker 10) moved to recommend approval and the motion carried by voice vote.
The recommendation will be forwarded to city council for final action; staff said they will include a clearer, standalone condition about the homestead/exemption in the council packet.
