Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />To whom it may concern, <br />I am writing with regards to the above -mentioned item and would like to voice my opposition to the prohibition: <br />Since becoming an operator of 4 short-term rentals in the downtown city of Santa Ana in 2021, there has been an influx <br />of travelers staying in the area which has been a huge income generator for the many local businesses. Downtown Santa <br />Ana is thriving. With the addition to the trolley currently being constructed, the area of downtown Santa Ana will see <br />even more tourists which means business revenue and this create more for jobs for the city. <br />Additionally, with the city thriving and growing, this allows city restoration, with many new housing projects and <br />retailers opening up which is always a positive. <br />If there would be any ordinances on short-term rentals, I would support an implement short term rental zoning areas <br />and place a limit/cap of the number of rentals per STR operator/owner and affidavit to operate for non -owner <br />operators. This would help alleviate just anyone and/or inexperienced operators from opening up a STR and help <br />prevent issues that may affect long term non STR residents living in the community. <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br />Best Regards, <br />Catherine Manzano <br />Sent from my iPhone <br />
