Single-Family Zoning Creates Neighborhood Confidence - STRs Introduce Uncertainty and Instability 

Dallas City Councilmember Chad West is entirely in favor of ADUs, STRs and density in single-family neighborhoods, but said we needed to get rid of party houses in Dallas. Councilmember Tennell Atkins asked the best question at the STR City Council Hearing, “How does the city define a party house?” The Dallas City Planning Department Director and Dallas City Manager could not answer that question. Any STR or ADU undermines confidence in a single-family zoned neighborhood. Even the possibility of an ADU next door undermines the confidence of a homeowner or homebuyer. STRs have never had a legal right to exist in Dallas.
