deprived the city of potential revenue from registration fees and transient occupancy <br /> taxes. <br /> Cities across the state have adopted thoughtful fair STR regulations and policies that <br /> distinguish between commercial STR operators and responsible short term rental <br /> homeowners. These frameworks can protect neighborhood integrity, minimize <br /> nuisance concerns, and bring short-term rentals out of the shadows and into <br /> compliance. <br /> I respectfully urge you to act on the statements made on November 19th 2024 and <br /> prioritize development of a short-term rental program. Doing so will provide relief <br /> to residents, and enable the city to benefit from an equitable, regulated system. <br /> Thank you for your time, your service, and your attention to this important matter. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Ana Gomez <br /> Santa Ana Resident <br /> Ward 3 <br /> Statements made by Mayor, Councilmembers Bacerra and Lopez November 19tn <br /> 2024. <br /> Mayor Amezcua• <br /> "Mr City manager I would hope that you're going to bring it back at some point so <br /> we can look at placing regulations and generating some revenue for our city..." <br /> Councilmember Bacerra: <br /> "I had advocated for kind of a more nuanced approach to have um short-term rentals <br /> with some sort of limited scope of where they could exist um I think after quite a bit <br /> of interesting deliberation we ended up going with a outright band so um I would at <br /> some point like staff to come back with some potential alternatives.." <br />
