City colleagues, I am writing to respond to the invitation to comment
on the City of La Quinta Notice of Preparation for the proposed Coral
Mountain Resort that we received through the courtesies of Ms.
Stephanie Virgen in the office of supervisor V. Manual Perez.
Although I am a member of the City of La Quinta Planning Commission
my questions and comments are entirely my own and are not necessarily
supported by others.
Related Projects. Will the document include a list of nearby
potentially impactful projects both inside and outside the City limits
of La Quinta including the on-going Vista Santa Rosa properties?
Is a Development Agreement part of the proposed entitlements; and
if not proposed by the Applicant, would such an agreement help
advance and protect the public interest?
Does the project contemplate an amendment to current city
boundaries or the City’s adopted Sphere of Influence?
Does the project contemplate any changes to the County’s Master Plan
of Arterial Highways

Are FEMA map revisions required?
Is any public investment in needed infrastructure required?
Will the Developer be providing a draft Fiscal Impact report as an
element of the entitlement proceedings?
Has the Applicant proposed, or will the City propose, a regulatory
Phasing Plan to be sure that future public improvements to make the
project function properly are in place in a timely fashion?
Is the water district all ready on board with the wave pool?
Do any of the planned dwelling units provide an opportunity to backfill
any of the City’s pending RHNA requirements - goals?
Are there any public policy requirements to determine gating policies
for the future communities-products particularly when visitor serving
uses and residential uses are planned in close proximity?
Under our existing statues how does “Commercial” sq footage differ
from visitor serving sq footage of retail-service commercial?
Any there any water pressure service zone issued here?
Is any of the current documentation and studies from the original
Andalusia FEIR being carried over to this new document?
Is the Site Development Permit (discretionary) only applicable to the
Wave Pool or to other aspects of the project as well?
Will traffic studies include assumptions for the number of future
service employees-contractors to serve the various properties?
This is being advertised as a specific plan amendment yet there is no
apparent relationship (or ownership) with the “old” Andalusia Specific
Plan and the “new” proposed Coral Mountain Plan. Please explain.
Thank you for your consideration. Good luck with your important
work.
