Subject: Correct informa;on regarding TUPs
John,
I received an email from Ms. Callimanis, in which she quoted Tara Bravo, of CV Strategies, as follows:
• The traffic study included 4 proposed special events, and limited to a=endance of 2,500 people, many
of which are likely to be residents and guests. (Note: The proposed special events will be subject to a
public review process by the City of La Quinta and will require a Temporary Use Permit with condiAons
for their planning and management for each event.) The TUP requirements are part of the City’s
Municipal Code and can be viewed here.
I believe Ms. Bravo works for you. Please note that Ms. Bravo's statement is misleading. Although all
files at the City are public, TUPs are decided by the Director, with or without condi;ons, and do not
include advance no;ce, or public mee;ngs or hearings. Please ask her to be correct in her messages.
Ci;ng Code would be most appropriate.
