BOA No. 16375 Lightning Creek Drive Home Sharing
At a glance
- What: VRBO HomeAway applied, for the owner, for a home-sharing special exception at a four-bedroom, two-bath house on Lightning Creek Drive. A similar request was denied in 2025 because the house had been used as a short-term rental; since then the owner ran it on 30-day-plus leases.
- Outcome (2026-10-15): approved: 7 guests maximum, quiet hours 9 p.m.-8 a.m., up to 6 vehicles (3 in the garage, 3 in the driveway), no on-street parking, 1-year term.
- Opposition: two next-door and nearby residents described more tenant turnover than the applicant stated, on-street parking, a blocked mailbox, trash left out, noise, and an unkempt yard. Staff confirmed only three 30-day-plus rentals on the platform. Board members said conditions would now apply to the property, that violations would be considered at renewal, and pointed residents to the city's online home-sharing complaint tool (okc.gov/str) and to their homeowners association.
- Occupancy: county records show three bedrooms; with no remodel record, the board capped guests at 7 instead of 9.
- Next: renewal review in one year; neighbors said they would document problems.
