The Lewisville City Council is gearing up to revisit the regulations surrounding these trendy accommodations tomorrow at 7 p.m., during a meeting at the Lewisville City Hall located at 151 W. Church Street, and public opinion is sought.
With a current tally of 77 sanctioned short-term rental units and an additional 13 awaiting approval, the city's 12-month pause on accepting new short-term rental applications is reaching its end next month, prompting the council to consider new measures, and options on the table include a cap on permits, as well as tighter controls on where and how dense these rentals can be. Their goal is to balance the business with the tranquility of residential neighborhoods, according to the City of Lewisville news release.
Local voices are essential to the decision-making process — Lewisville City Council is open to hearing thoughts on the existing program and suggested changes, residents can speak at the meeting or, for those preferring the written word, comments can be submitted online via the city's website by accessing the February 17 City Council agenda where they will find an electronic comment form, though remember, it closes at 5:30 p.m. sharp on the day of the meeting.
