Good morning,
First, thank you for reaching out regarding your comments and concerns about this
permit. Feedback from surrounding residents is an important part of our review process
when analyzing potential noise, traffic, and safety impacts. Through our review process
of the permit, City staff makes sure to analyze potential impacts relating to noise,
traffic, safety, and disturbances to adjoining neighbors. The permit is still currently
under review by staff and the applicant has items that need to be addressed before we
can continue. We are also keeping track of all correspondence we receive from
surrounding residents to keep on file through our review process to make sure all
concerns are appropriately addressed and to keep in mind as we move forward. This
could include changes in event scope, conditions relating to traffic flow, parking plans,
noise monitors, orientation of music, etc. I have received a lot of e-mails/phone calls
from surrounding residents with concerns about the event permit, and these concerns
will need to be addressed by the applicant before moving forward. I have also been in
communication with members of the PGA West Fairways Association board, to make
sure members of the association are appropriately listened to.
Feel free to direct and send all correspondence regarding questions, comments, and
concerns about this event permit to me. I am also always available for a phone call if
that is easier for anyone. Regards,
Carlos Flores | Associate Planner

Mr. Carlos Flores,
Associate Planner

Dear Mr. Flores:
As residents of Monterra PGA West, this planned, year round use is incompatible with an adjacent
residential community for a number of reasons. Some of which are
1. Traffic both to the property, as well as along Monroe Street and 54th Avenue
2. Noise from 500 +/- attendees on site until late into the evening
3. Restrooms and ancillary facilities on site
4. Parking for 250 +/- vehicles
5. Property value reduction, because of this "party" location.
It is difficult to believe that the residents of the Griffin Ranch and the Madison Club will not object to
this property use.
We request that you and the La Quinta City Council reject this use permit request.
Thank you for your attention and consideration.
Sincerely,
Nancy and Nicholas Zibyock
