ADMINISTRATIVE

 

Staff is proposing new regulations aligned with the 2025 Vision Plan, aiming to protect the character of established residential neighborhoods while ensuring health and safety. The proposed regulations include setting a maximum limit on active Short-Term Rental (“STR”) unit permits to maintain a balanced growth rate and prevent an oversaturation that could alter neighborhood identity. The maximum number of active STR permits would be set at 130 in 2025, representing approximately 0.5% of all residential parcels in Lewisville.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

 

That the City Council approve the ordinance as set forth in the caption above.
