Plano will temporarily ban new short-term rentals as it looks for a solution to a growing number of complaints.
Council members are looking for recommendations as they face growing calls to ban or regulate rentals through companies like Airbnb and VRBO.
They argue occupants ignore rules against big parties and bring crime to their otherwise quiet neighborhoods. "We have invested heavily in our homes and communities, and we should not have to risk the demise of our neighborhoods, the loss of our community, and the potential impact to property values," one resident said during the public comments portion of the meeting."Please do not turn my neighborhood into just a bunch of strangers who come and go like a hotel. That’s not why I moved to Plano," another resident said.
The interim ban, for now, does not affect the 400 or so active short-term rental properties in Plano.
