We join the residents of Trilogy and Andalusia in expressing our deep concerns of the proposed
Wave Park to be built across the street from Coral Mountain Estates, a community we have
recently moved to in mid-September from the New York City metropolitan area.
Our concerns are numerous in opposition to this proposal. Primarily the addition of such an
“attraction” will fundamentally change the essence of what La Quinta is as a city. In our
opinion, La Quinta exemplifies sophistication, elegance, and understatement. It is where
people come, and have come in the past, to get away from the noise and fast moving tempo of
their normal lives. This has been true for a very long time as is evident with the construction of
the quintessential La Quinta Resort in 1926.
The impact of Wave Park in La Quinta in general, and to the proposed area in particular would
be extremely detrimental. The residential communities surrounding the proposed area have a
serenity and tranquility that would most certainly be disrupted by the noise and traffic. Please
look at the images of the Wave Water Park in Vista, California to see the density of visitors.
Inevitably, management will strive to increase revenue with the frequency of events such as
special parties and galas during the day and night which will bring in louder and bigger crowds
and louder music. After reviewing the site plan, the location of the mountains to the southwest
and south of the Wave Park will project and amplify to the north and northeast any sound
generated and directly impact the existing nearby residential communities. No amount of
landscaping or buffering would be able to absorb the noise impact on these surrounding
communities.
We believe at this moment, La Quinta is standing at the crossroads. Is this the image that the
residents of La Quinta are willing to embrace whatever the tax revenue benefits would be
generated by this addition. In our opinion, this is too high a price to pay. We believe this would
tarnish the well-deserved image of La Quinta as a classy city.
We urge you to please stop the proposal for the construction of the Wave Park in La Quinta.
Thanking you in advance for your thoughtful consideration.
