concerned that a motive of the prohibition is to regulate economic competition in violation of the <br />law. <br />We will be filing a California Public Records Act request with the City in an effort to understand <br />what drove the City to pursue the proposed prohibition in this manner. We strongly urge the <br />Council to refrain from taking any action on the proposed STR prohibition until the City has <br />responded to our Public Records Act request. <br />Conclusion and Request <br />Thank you for taking our comments and concerns into consideration. It will be in all parties' best <br />interest to debate and collaborate on these issues rather than fight through them in the courts. <br />This is why we respectfully request that the City Council to decline to take action on the <br />Ordinances and direct Staff to hold stakeholder meetings over the next several months before <br />returning with a more thoughtful approach that appropriately acknowledges that STRs are a <br />lawful residential use under the City's Municipal Code and allows STRs to continue operating <br />subject to reasonable regulations going forward. <br />Sincerely, <br />Santa Ana Short Term Rental Alliance (SASTRA) <br />Cc: Tom Hatch, Interim City Manager <br />10 <br />
