Good afternoon and thank you for allowing me to voice my strong opposition to this
project.
My wife and I have been homeowners at Andalusia for the past 11 years. I believe I
am also speaking on behalf of many of my neighbors.
We joined this beautiful Andalusia community because:
We love the peace and quiet;
We love the immaculately dark and clear night skies;
We were told the patch of wild and untamed desertscape across from us would
eventually be developed into a similarly quiet and uncrowded golf/low density
residential community.
So, imagine our dismay when that property was sold to another developer, who has
quickly, and under the radar, moved to change the zoning from low density
residential to high impact commercial.
We do not understand why the city of La Quinta would have given the initial
permission for that zoning change so this ill-conceived project could move forward
to this stage of planning?
Do our city leaders really want to tie their political legacy to the desecration of one
of the last truly unique and peaceful tracts of La Quinta land by unscrupulous
developers who want to change it into a circus like attraction every day all year
round? Why go forward and spend untold dollars on investigations when any
person with common sense knows this can and should be stopped right now by the
city simply holding fast to the original zoning?
Why waste millions of gallons of drinking water when we are in the midst of a
drought?
The so-called expert reports submitted in support of this project are at best

theoretical re -do's of earlier reports (from other projects). No real science or
experiments are behind these reports.
Is the only underlying agenda that wants to allow this permitting process change
the pursuit of a few extra dollars promised for city coffers?
If you go forward, I believe future generations will not look kindly on your legacy.
Thank you for your consideration.
