Park Lane <br />Santa <br /> 2.2O24 <br />|amahomeowner and short-term rental host inSanta Ana and have been for 1O <br />years. On behalf ofthe local short-term rental host community, | ask that you vote NO <br />onagenda Item #21 infavor ofsensible, collaborative regulations that protect the many <br />benefits short-term rentals bring toour community. <br />As the mother of five, being able to share my home helps me earn income to support <br />my family. Short-term rentals also offer much -needed affordable travel options for large <br />families like mine which traditional hotel rooms or suites cannot accommodate. That's <br />one ofthe reasons I'm sopassionate about short-term rentals. <br />Short term rentals have been allowed in this City for over 10 years where home -sharing <br />is a |avvfu|, valid residential use under the City's existing law. By introducing a rushed <br />ordinance to restrict short-term rentals, the City is acting contrary towell-established <br />case |avv in California and ignoring due process and community input. If the Council <br />moves forward with tonight's recommendation, they would be inviting legal challenges <br />rather than working with residents to ensure short-term rentals continue to benefit our <br />City. Take for example a recent review that | received from a family who stayed at my <br />home. "We usually stay inAnaheim for our Disney vacations, but this time vveopted for <br />Santa Ana and WOW what agame ohan0er." The review goes ontotalk about the <br />beauty ofour neighborhood and the city. <br />
