It is unlawful for an occupant of a short-term rental to park a motor vehicle on a residential street near a short-term rental.

It is unlawful for an occupant of a short-term rental, or an owner or operator thereof, to allow an occupant to park or occupy a motor home, recreational vehicle, boat, commercial vehicle, or otherwise prohibited motor vehicle on the premises of a short-term rental or on a residential street near a short-term rental.

It is unlawful for a owner, operator or any person to pave or otherwise cover previous soil to create additional on-premise parking without the prior approval of the City of Grand Prairie.
