<br />Flores, Dora <br />From:Kathryn Levassiur <kathrynlevassiur@icloud.com> <br />Sent:Friday, August 1, <br />To:eComment <br />Subject:Agenda Item 10 <br /> Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />Dear Mayor Amezcua, Mayor Pro Tem Vazquez and Santa Ana City Councilmembers, <br /> <br />My public comment for agenda item 10 <br /> <br />My name is Kathryn Levassiur. I’m a Huntington Beach resident, founder of the Huntington Beach Short Term <br />Rental Alliance, and a volunteer Airbnb Community Leader representing hosts throughout Orange County. I’m <br />speaking today on my own behalf. <br /> <br />I urge the council to revisit the current ordinance and thoughtfully consider the findings and recommendations <br />of the Orange County Grand Jury report. Santa Ana, and all of Orange County, is a global destination. Short- <br />term rentals support local businesses, generate sustainable tax revenue, and provide flexible housing options <br />that benefit both visitors and residents. <br /> <br />Just as importantly, they uphold the rights of property owners. I believe that if I asked each of you whether you <br />support property rights, you'd all say yes. But maintaining the current restrictions contradicts that principle. <br />Please consider a more balanced policy, one that both protects neighborhoods and honors the rights of your <br />residents. <br /> <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />Kathryn Levassiur <br /> <br />Huntington Beach, CA 92649 <br />( <br /> <br />Huntington Beach Short-Term <br />Rental Alliance <br />hbstra.org <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />
