Dear Nicole,
As a new resident to La Quinta who is excited about the future of the city I wanted to add my
two cents to the argument in favor of the Coral Mountain resort.
I am 42 years old. My fiance and I just bought our first house here and part of the reason we
chose La Quinta was the fact that there were so many new things in the works for the city,
including the Coral Mountain Resort. He grew up in Hawaii, and I grew up in the midwest. We
met in Venice Beach and the prospect of the resort and wave pool gave the city a definite edge
over the rest of the Coachella Valley.
We both enjoy outdoor sports - surfing, rock climbing, yoga, hiking. Yes, we golf, but we love
the idea of there being other options for people like us who've moved here looking for a better
quality of life at a more relaxed pace. Nothing says a love of the outdoors and a relaxed pace of
life more to me than a space to enjoy everything the ocean and beach have to offer with Coral
Mountain as the backdrop to it all.
As a full time resident, I would be very disappointed if the development was not allowed to go
through. I've looked at the research and planning that has been done on the project and I don't
see how it will truly negatively impact the area. I live at 54th and Madison so I am not that far
away. In fact, it would be amazing to be able to bike on over there and enjoy the facilities.
I hope that the city takes into account its younger residents who will be shaping the future of
the city. My parents live here as well, and I know that they love the changes that are coming.
After this crazy year we've all had, I don't know why we'd want to stifle opportunity and access
to more options for all of the residents.
I'm happy to talk more or answer any questions you may have -
Best,
Cory Martin
