Resident urges council to block commercial drone ports, calls frequent low‑altitude flights a nuisance

A Richardson resident told council that frequent commercial drone flights are disrupting neighborhood quality of life and asked the council to act to prevent drone‑port facilities from locating inside the city.

Randy Eisenach, a longtime Richardson resident, said neighbors observe numerous drone overflights at low altitude: "For those of us in closely adjacent neighborhoods, it's not uncommon to see a dozen drone overflights at very low altitudes, less than 150 feet, within a 90 minute period," he said. Eisenach asked that at least one council member sponsor placing the issue on a council agenda within 45 days so stakeholders could be convened to seek solutions.

Eisenach urged a land‑use approach rather than immediate legal action and said the matter could be resolved without major city cost or liability. He offered to serve as a resource to staff and council during any review.
