We have been told that there will be no “light pollution”. However, this picture
was taken from 58th Street and shows the light impact from Bagdouma Park in Coachella,
over five miles from the Coral Mountain site. Due to the nature of fine sand particles in the air in the Desert,
light will always appear like this. And since the residents are significantly closer to Coral Mountain than
Bagdouma Park we will have significant light pollution from the seventeen 80 feet light poles. By the way, the
poles at the Park are only 60 feet height. So the light impact will be significant to the surrounding
developments
In addition, please also provide information on wind tunnel tests that have been performed on the lights to
ensure that during our wind events, the poles will not snap or bend and cause injuries.
Lisa Castro, the resident adjacent to the surf basin, has stated for the record to the City Council that
Coral Mountain causes a wind tunnel effect in this area. She has recorded significant wind events
and can provide that information if requested.
