Attention: Nicole Sauviat Criste
I live in Trilogy at La Quinta, our backyard faces 60th Avenue and I am opposed as others in our
community to the Proposed Wave Park. I aMended the presentaEon given to our community by
the developer. ANer doing further research and actually seeing how the waves are produced I
became very concerned. The first Wave Park developed by Kelly Slater is located in Lemoore, Ca,
currently siQng in an agricultural area, the Palm Desert development is surrounded by the
Desert Willow Golf Course and the proposed Thermal development is near the private race track
in the middle of an agricultural area. In the city of La Quinta, Mr. Slater is proposing placing a
Wave Park in the middle of a residenEal area. I am against the rezoning of the property known as
Andalusia West. I believe this project will have a negaEve impact on housing values:
1. ConEnuous noise of the wave machine, lighEng aNer dusk, the park running 12 hours a
day, 7 days a week.
2. AddiEonal traffic, 4 special events per year, aMracEng an addiEonal 2,500 people per
event. AddiEonal traffic for the Hotel and Restaurant daily.
3. Short term rentals, Coachella and Stage Coach aMendees and constant traffic.
4. Our area in La Quinta should be considered the Quiet Zone. We enjoy the quiet evenings,
the stars and tranquility.
Please consider placing this development elsewhere in La Quinta, if you need the tax revenue;
not next door to a 55 and older ResidenEal Community located in the La Quinta Quiet Zone. We
understand the property will need to be developed, please leave this parcel zoned as
“ResidenEal” not “Commercial Property”.
How many Wave Parks can the Coachella Valley Support?
Thank You,
