Hi Mr. Castro,
I hope you all are well!
I’m wriTng as a hopeful future resident to voice my support for the proposed Coral Mountain residenTal
project.
I live in ManhaEan Beach, CA with my wife and two young daughters. A[er learning about this
development and later touring the property, we have begun to plan our lives around owning a vacaTon
home there.
The surfing pool, high-end ameniTes and healthy lifestyle orientaTon have made us confident that this is a

perfect place for our family...and we have NEVER thought second homes were a good idea previously.
I know there are concerns among some residents who I believe are largely misunderstanding the
situaTon.
First of all, despite what movies like Fast Times at Ridgemont High and other films have portrayed, surfers
(including myself), are mostly very responsible mild mannered adults. We are stereotyped as wild
teenagers with no regard for the rule of law or peace and quiet. If you go to a surfing beach and count 10
people who are actually riding a suraoard, probably just 1 or 2 of them will be less than 30 years old, and
a couple will be in their 60s. Furthermore, most live near the beach (because that's where the waves have
been unTl now) in mulTmillion dollar homes.
As such, most are doctors, business owners, and professionals, not drug dealers or bank robbers like in the
movies. We are a health conscious group of people who find Tme spent in the water to be very relaxing.
Second, I had the good fortune of being able to surf the other wavepool using this top-of-the line
technology in Lemoore, CA. It was almost startlingly quiet. I honestly could barely believe it. I cannot
imagine the noise causing one bit of bother to exisTng residents hundreds of feet away.
Third, this project will aEract hundreds of affluent families to your fine city. They will play golf and
patronize the stores and restaurants. They will boost the vitality of your local businesses and allow these
businesses to invest in beEer offerings for the community. All of this will further boost the tax revenue
that La Quinta will have at its disposal.
I'm proud of my family and I think we are fairly representaTve of the other people who plan to buy homes
(some of whom are friends of mine), so I'll tell you a bit about us. We love the beach and my daughters are
learning how to surf, but the cold ocean water and unpredictable waves make for slow progress in the
Pacific Ocean. My wife and I are both Ivy League educated including a masters degree. We are both
professionals in the investment industry. We are polite and responsible nature lovers...not loud obnoxious
parTers.
We just want a place to go together where we can unwind, have a healthy lifestyle and enjoy a sport that's
inclusive for the whole family. If I'm lucky, maybe I'll also sneak off and play some golf!
Thanks for your Tme in reading this and considering the many benefits that this world class development
can have for La Quinta.
Sincerely,
BriE Joyce
