To City of La Quinta Government Leaders and Planning Department
It frightens me to think that there may be a zoning change from residential to commercial that would
allow a Wave Machine/Amusement Park Development below the Coral Mountains in La Quinta. This
Surf and Wave ride would use millions of gallons of fresh drinking water to fill and refresh the ride in a
time of catastrophic drought here in California. The massive amounts of treatment chemicals needed
and continual refill of this pool will destroy the ecology of the site.
How could we even be considering such a monster project that would use our precious fresh drinking
water and tax an already overburdened electrical grid that would be needed to operate the wave
action.
If this project is approved, it would send the signal that water conservation is no longer needed.
That the drought is nothing but fake news spewed by a corrupt government. Is this the message
you want to send?
As an aside, his project also shows extreme disrespect for our residential community by blocking the
walking path at the base of the Coral Mountains. The developer representative has emphasized
multiple times that they will block this path from neighbors to use; to be used only by their privileged,
rich guests......even though the US Bureau of Land Management currently welcomes hikers by multiple
signs permanently posted on the pathway. So many of us in La Quinta enjoy this quiet, peaceful walk
each day. How can you possibly allow public space to be handed over to private interests. This
shows the out of state Developer just doesn't care about being a good neighbor.
Please Mayor Evans, I beg you, don't turn this quiet neighborhood into a noisy, traffic congested, water
wasting theme park. It is truly the wrong development, in the wrong place and at the wrong time. Do
not support a change of zoning.
Thank you.
