I called City Hall and they directed me to you. If I need to contact someone else, please provide their email.
I have been reviewing the materials on the La Quinta city website regarding the Coral Mountain development project.
There are three major bodies of water in the plans —the surf pool and what I assume are two giant swimming pools. (If I
am incorrect please let me know). Without knowing what you are looking at, I assume that the other two large bodies of
water are lakes proposed in the project (one on the west side, and one in the central -east portion of the project.
The 100 page plan available on the website does not contain any exact measurements (other than a written mention
that the area of the surf lake is 16.6 acres). The size of the lakes are estimated at 6.6 acres (west side) and 2.3 acres
(central -east side).
I was wondering if there are any public documents submitted to the city that state the exact measurements of these
three bodies of water. You can find information on these bodies of water in the Water Supply Assessment, which can be
accessed at https://www.laquintaca.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/45277/637595155555830000

In addition I am looking to find any supporting documentation regarding the developer's claims that the water usage for
this specific project would be less than if they built other types of projects. (I see the claim, I am trying to figure out how
they came to that calculation regarding their own water usage and needs for this project). There are several discussions
about differences in water use, but the most central location would be Section 7 of the Draft EIR, and Appendix 0 of
that document, which calculates water demand for each alternative. That document can be accessed at

I appreciate you pointing me in the right direction. Thanks for your help!
