Dear Nicole,
My name is Kelly Welton and my fiancé and I live in Trilogy. We moved here in February of
2020.
Tired of Los Angeles and Orange counties’ traffic and noise, we were lured to La Quinta by the
open mountains, sightings of Bighorn sheep, and the quiet beauty of all the visible stars at night.
We are VERY opposed to the proposed “Coral Mountain" wave park. We strongly urge you
not to approve any zoning variances that would allow this project to go forward. The proposed
variances effectively allow the equivalent of commercial-scale traffic, noise, lights, and pollution
in a high density residential area. We understand the property will be developed someday, but
when we considered and ultimately purchased our retirement home, we never dreamed the
zoning could change from residential with golf course to amusement park so quickly and so
quietly.
Why jeopardize our “Gem of the Desert” reputation?
And, to be frank, the Environmental Impact Report seems to have been prepared by the
developers rather than by neutral third parties. This truly is the wrong project in the wrong
place.
I believe you have a responsibility to the residents of La Quinta, at the very least to acknowledge
our efforts and listen to our concerns.
We seem to have been ‘brushed aside’ whenever voicing our concerns for this project.
Please, we urge you to fully consider the impact this development will have on La Quinta, all of
La Quinta, to the ends of the city limits.
Thank You.
Sincerely,
Kelly Welton
