As seen on Table B,the 700 STRs currently in operation are calculated to generate between 2,485p to 3,080 daily trips,depending on the rates used, which is significantly lower than hotel uses. Therefore, removing the STRs and forcing guests to hotels will result in over 7,363 to 7,958 additional daily trips.

As seen on Table C, if 1,000 STRs are currently in operation,they are generating between 3,550 and 4,400 daily trips,depending on the rates used, which is significantly lower than hotel uses. Therefore, removing the STRs and forcing guests to hotels will result in over 10,517 to 11,367 additional daily trips. An additional benefit of STRs is that since the units are spread out over a larger area,the additional traffic generated by STRs is more spread out throughout the City. As such, the additional delay caused by the vehicles would be minimal. If the STRs are replaced by new hotels in the City of Santa Ana,concentrated traffic would be added to roadways and intersections near the new hotels, potentially resulting in substantially more additional delays. SUMMARY Based on the above evaluation, disallowing STRs in the City of Santa Ana is likely to increase regional VMT. Disallowing STRs is also likely to increase traffic within the City of Santa Ana. 11/29/2024(C:\Users\kjohnst2\AppData\Roaming\iManage\Work\Recent\063437-0026(Airbnb_Inc._Project Lockeffranslutions_Santa Ana Ordinance_Memo(155519529.7).docx) 2
