Please see reply below from Jon McMillen, City Manager:
Dear Bobbie Fleury,
Thank you for your email to the La Quinta Mayor and Councilmembers. Your email has
been forwarded to me as City Manager. Please be advised that California law and the La
Quinta Municipal Code set forth processes under which land use applications are
governed. Generally speaking, these processes extend from U.S. and State
constitutional provisions that entitle persons and property owners to due process of law
and use of real property, subject to the valid exercise of the City's police powers
governing land use and its regulatory review.
The land use applications for the Coral Mountain project, like any other land use
applications, are entitled to the review processes. Moreover, the proponents of these
land use applications are subject to the regulatory review process as would be other
similarly -situated projects. The regulatory review process includes, but is not
necessarily limited to, the review processes and requirements set forth in the State
Planning and Zoning Law (Gov. Code, § 65000 et seq.), the State Subdivision Map Act
(Gov. Code, § 66410 et seq.), the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Resources
Code, §21000 et seq.), and the applicable provisions set forth in State Regulations and
Title 9 [Zoning] and Title 13 [Subdivision Regulations] of the La Quinta Municipal Code
(among other provisions). Because the law entitles all interested persons, including
property owners and members of the public, to participate in the land use review
processes, the City of La Quinta and its Council are committed to ensuring these
processes are followed and respected.
Your email and comments are appreciated. They will be added to the record of
communications received for consideration by the City Council. As explained above, the
land use processes must be followed, which means that the Coral Mountain project
applications will first be reviewed by the City's Planning Commission for a
recommendation to be provided to the City Council. Upon the completion of the
Planning Commission's review and recommendation, a duly noticed public hearing and
consideration of the project may then be brought before the City Council.
I hope this is helpful. Thank you for reaching out to the Council and providing your
comments.
Sincerely,

Good Afternoon Mayor Evans, Council Members Fitzpatrick, Pena, Radi, and Sanchez, and
Consulting Planner Sauviate-Criste,
My comments below were sent to Tania Flores to provide to the Planning Commission. Now I
want to share them with all of you so they
are on record relative to the Coral Mountain Wave Park.
Thank you for your continued attention to this most important matter.

To the members of the La Quinta Planning Commission:
My name is Bobbie Fleury and I am an 18 year resident of Trilogy.
Rather than talk today about the bits and pieces of the EIR, I'd prefer to
concentrate on one major aspect of the proposed planned Coral Mountain
development, and life as it currently is in this corner of the city. I'm referring
to the aesthetic quality of our area.
I've thought for years that we sit so far from everything, but that's actually a
double-edged sword. Yes, we do, but we have a peaceful, serene, beautiful
place to call home.
City staff and Council seem to feel that this project will have "no significant

impact" on the surrounding area. How can that be?
If this zoning request change for a tourist/commercial site were to happen,
that would forever alter the culture, the feel, the tenure, of the place where
so many people live. All around us, from Ave. 50 to Ave. 60, from Madison
to Monroe, it's low -density, single story residential. A change of zoning, such
as what has been requested, would be a slap in the face to thousands of
residents.
We will derive NO benefit from this project, since it's for PRIVATE usage. Yet,
it will affect our quality of life forever. Once that Pandora's box is open,
there's no going back. And then what's next — a gas station and drive-thru
eatery?
Changing the zoning to tourist/commercial just isn't compatible with all that
is currently built, and what is planned to be built, in this southwest corner of
La Quinta.
I know that money talks. But it's time to back down this developer and deny
this zoning change request.
I respectfully ask that, before you make a decision, you go home; step back;
look in the mirror; and ask yourself "Is this really what we should be doing
in our city, and to our residents."
Thank you for your time and attention.
