Cheri,
It's in the Public Comments, not the EIR comments. Cannot remember why, but probably because it was straight
opposition.

I sent this on August 1st to clflores at the planning commission and received a response. However it is not on the list
of correspondence received in the recent eir…so how complete is that report?
>Please add us to those who oppose this ridiculous proposal for a desert area. We researched the area before we
bought our home in La Quinta. We were aware of many of the possible negatives (dust from growing fields, Salton Sea
odors, San Andreas fault and others). However, the zoning for the proposed area was residential or we would NEVER
have considered buying in La Quinta. Such a radical change in zoning and the city’s general plan is absurd…why have
those things at all if they can be changed because someone with deep pockets comes in and greases a few palms?
>There is constant communication that we need to conserve water, electricity and yet such a project is being
considered…how about the need for more middle class housing in the area? This project is not for locals and most jobs
will be low paying and service oriented, not careers.
