Please use proper judgement and caution when opening attachments, clicking links or responding to requests for information. ** Dear City Council Members, This morning's edition of The Desert Sun has a front page article titled "Neighbors Fight Proposal for 78 Short -Term Rentals." As you know, in 2015, Council approved the "Estates at Griffin Lake" development for single family homes, with NO short-term rental capability, on the former Mery Griffin property located on Avenue 54 between Jefferson and Monroe. This development would be consistent with the directly neighboring residential developments of Griffin Ranch and The Madison Club which also do not allow short-term rentals. The communities of PGA West Greg Norman, Hideaway and Carmela are nearby and also do not allow short-term rentals. The developer has submitted to the Planning Commission a request for an exception to the City's current ban on short-term rentals except in specially zoned areas. This request will be considered by the Planning Commission in February. As Griffin Ranch residents, my wife, Ellan, and I are strongly against granting an exception to the City's short-term rental policy for the "Estates at Griffin Ranch" development. Such exception is totally inconsistent with the neighboring communities, and would hurt our quality of life and property values. Thank you for your understanding.

To: MDM Enterprises From: SUZETTE COLETTE COLE RE: planning commission DAte: 2/1/24 A year ago I moved from Palm Springs and purchased my lovely home in Griffin Ranch. The sole reason I did this was to live in private and secure residence. I was also looking forward to the establishment growing in the price structure for my secure retirement as they have been growing in prices. I would not have purchased my home in Griffin Ranch if I knew they were gg to be building rentals next to my property. The issues are not having the security or privacy as I have come accustomed to and the price of my home declining instead of rising due to rental properties. Griffin Ranch has already put up with the whole month of April of partiers and loud crowds, transients, streets being blocked off. We put up with this and I know if we add on the rental homes it will be 100 times fold. I am seriously thinking maybe I should sell my dream home that I worked all my life for and carefully decided to purchase and find another place that I would have to another place that would fit my 18 needs. And at this time in my life it would be an extreme hardship just pick up and start all over. I am extremely sad that I may have to do this. The rental homes were okayed back in 2013. That was 11 years ago. That ruling should not be allowed to be okayed for a hundred years. If is was okayed back then in 2013 then that's when they should have built their stick built homes and I would not have purschased my home here today. Thank you for time.

Learn why this is important EXTERNAL: This message originated outside of the City of La Quinta. Please use proper judgement and caution when opening attachments, clicking links or responding to requests for information. Dear Commissioners, My husband and I have lived in Griffin Ranch since April 2012, nearly 12 years. During that time our community grew from approximately 70 homes to full build out at 283 homes. There are many full time residents who moved into the community because of it's quiet location and nice homes. The proposal by MDM for 78 STVRs on the Mery Griffin Estate is incompatible with ALL of the criteria set forth in the La Quinta municipal code. Excerpt of the code below; Section 9.25.020 of the Municipal Code governs Development Agreements. It provides (subsection C.8) that the Planning Commission must consider whether the Development Agreement "a. Is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the general plan and any applicable specific plan; Not consistent with the 2015 specific plan which was approved for marketable single family homes, not STVRs. b. Is compatible with the uses authorized in and the regulations prescribed for the land use district in which the real property is located; the city cannot ban STVRs (done in 2021) and then allow 78 of them alongside a community which does not allow them c. Is in conformity with the public necessity, public convenience, general welfare and good land use practices; Not a public necessity or convenience .... in fact this is a public nuisance, especially noise into the early morning hours and security concerns. d. Will be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare; Detrimental to property values for Griffin Ranch and the still unbuilt 37 Capstone lots. Safety and security problems have already occurred every time the Mery Griffin Estate is leased for an event without exception. e. Will adversely affect the orderly development of property or the preservation of property values; There is the distinct possibility that the Capstone lots will become unsellable to a builder if the proposed STVR project is approved. Griffin Ranch property values will be adversely affected once potential buyers become aware of the STVRs. f. Will have a positive fiscal impact on the city." This is the ONLY positive aspect of this proposal and comes at a very high cost to the La Quinta citizens who reside in the area. The planning commission should disapprove the MDM proposal for the many reasons stated above. The project is an unwanted and unnecessary nuisance for La Quinta residents and taxpayers.

We are opposed to the development of 78 STRV's at the Mery Griffin Estate property. Our reasons are as follows. 1). MGE property is in a residential zone, with the exception of the 5 adjoining acres where the main house is located, is not approved for STVR operation. 2) owner developer, if permitted to build STVR's intends to own all 78 homes and operate as a hotel with a 5 acre amenities area including an event area. Clearly a commercial operation in a residential area. 3) 2019 city appointed committee found the city was woefully ill equipped to manage existing STVR's. This lead to a 2021 moratorium against future STVR's being approved. 4) the owner operator has consistently displayed a lack of consideration for surrounding neighbors with over 100 complaints/violations in the past 18 months for noise and dust management coming from the property. The concept that someone can't handle 1 property should be considered for 78 more is preposterous. We hope that you consider the above and reject this applicant and application. None of you would consider living in a home next to this proposed circus. Thank you for your service to the community.

The same would be true through La Quinta, in any instance where a tract of 78 rental homes were considered for approval adjacent to tracts of owner -occupied single-family homes. Most residents share the opinion that the City of La Quinta already has enough short- term rentals. Additionally, though short-term rentals represent a revenue stream for the city, the adverse impact on home values in Griffin Ranch and Madison Club have the potential to reduce collective home values far more than the revenues gained by the city. This would occur because of a required real estate disclosure on the part of homeowners marketing their home for sale in each of these communities. Commensurate with said disclosure, potential buyers would view an adjacent tract of 78 rental homes as undesirable, likely to the point of being a liability. Residents of La Quinta are supportive of our city receiving additional revenues, which is why a majority of voters voted for a 1% sales tax increase with said revenue going directly to the city. However, approving a tract of 78 rental homes adjacent to hundreds of homes in a bedroom community is not an appropriate way to gain community support and increase city revenues. Should a zoning change be approved by the city council, voter support will likely dwindle for incumbents who support this requested zoning change when affected homeowners next vote for City council candidates. This would be most unfortunate, considering the outstanding work done by the current city council members. 25 Lastly, the city has had more than enough experience with municipal code and or contractual agreement violations involving events at the Mery Griffin Estate, where violations have run the gamut with examples as follows: 1. Sound volume violations have been far in excess of City of La Quinta Noise Ordinance Section 9.100.2.0 standards both before and especially after 10:00 pm 2. Trespass violations have involved individuals climbing over the Griffin Ranch perimeter wall to enter Griffin Estate through the side yards of Griffin Ranch Homeowners. 3. Large numbers of individuals, far more than the maximum attendance stated in the event planners Agreement with the City, have attempted enter Griffin Estate planned events. In one instance, during one of Golden -voice's music festivals, it was reported that hundreds of individuals attempted to 'crash' the Griffin Estate event. This has not been a one-off occurrence, as noted in #2 above. Before he left working for the City, Carlos Flores was responsible for overseeing the signing off on the event Agreements with the property owners of the Griffin Estate. The problems associated with violations of event Agreements were frequent and significant to the point that the property owner was once prohibited from scheduling events for two (2) years. The records, hopefully maintained by Mr. Flores on this property, should be examined by members of the Commission in this regard. Following review, only one question needs to be asked as follows: Does the City of La Quinta want code enforcement to be required to deal with similar violations involving 78 short term rental homes adjacent to Griffin Ranch and across the street from Madison Club.

Learn why this is important EXTERNAL: This message originated outside of the City of La Quinta. Please use proper judgement and caution when opening attachments, clicking links or responding to requests for information. To the La Quinta Commissioners, Asa resident of Griffin Ranch (my address is 54940 Secretariat Drive), I would like to register my very firm opposition to the re -zoning contemplated in MDM's Development Agreement to permit 78 new homes to be used as short-term rentals. My argument to support my opposition is as follows: 1. There is a lot of land in La Quinta that is zoned to allow short term rentals. As such, it begs the question "whywould MDM propose a development that is dependent on short term rentals in a Location that does not permit the intended use?". Given that property developers often make a significant portion of their overall investment on the "lift" in value from re -zoning a property, it is Logical. to assume that this anticipated "rezoning lift" is a large part of the motivation for proposing the Griffin Ranch location. 2. The "re -zoning lift", is essentially a wealth transfer, from the residents of Griffin Ranch, to MDM, the developer behind The Estates at Griffin Lake. It seems extremely illogical, and fundamentally unfair, for the City of La Quinta to allow such a wealth transfer given that the home owners of Griffin Ranch purchased their properties with the security of the existing "no short term rentals" zoning, and MDM is attempting to change the zoning to extract excessive profits from their investment. 3. More importantly the the impact on property values and excess profits to MDM, is the negative implications on quality and life, and enjoyment of their properties, on the residents of Griffin Ranch, While I am not certain of the average age of the residents of Griffin Ranch, an educated guess would be 65 or older. We are people who have worked hard, and invested in a quiet community where we know our neighbours, and we socialize together in a very harmonious environment. Changing the zoning of the adjacent land that would become The Estates at Griffin Ranch would threaten the tranquility of Griffin Ranch, and very seriously negatively impact the enjoyment factor and quality of life of Griffin Ranch residents. I respectively ask the Commissioners to reject MDM's application. If you approve the rezoning of this property, how can residents of La Quinta have any peace of mind regarding the type of neighbourhood they have invested in, and hope to enjoy into their future as la Quinta residents? Thank you for your consideration of my email.

Learn why this is important EXTERNAL: This message originated outside of the City of La Quinta. Please use proper judgement and caution when opening attachments, clicking links or responding to requests for information. I reside in Griffin Ranch at 81517 Mery Griffin Way and wish to supplement the comments I previously submitted. The proposed project is essentially a hotel -- 78 units under common ownership, common management, and an on-line booking system to allow transient occupancy. With at least 4 bedrooms per unit, this is essentially a 250-300 room hotel. I have been informed that, when he first informed the HOA board of his plans in December 2023, Mark Majer said something to the effect: "think of it as a hotel." A hotel is a commercial enterprise that does not belong in an area zoned for single family residences. The La Quinta Municipal Code already recognizes that commonly owned "hotel like" residences should not be treated as ordinary single family homes. Municipal Code 9.60.280 addresses residences sold as "timeshares" and provides: "The City Council finds that timeshare facilities constitute a commercial hotel use. Due to the mixed method of operation, hybrid ownership, the potential generation of large numbers of people and vehicles, and the potential impact on the tourism -related facilities in the city, special development criteria are warranted. Also, this section is intended to establish criteria by which timeshare facilities will function as hotels/motels." If a group of "single family homes" sold as timeshares require special regulation and should be treated as hotel, then the La Quinta Estates proposal -- with even more transient occupancy than a timeshare -- should be treated as a hotel. The Staff Report submitted to the Planning Commission nowhere discusses the "hotel -like" nature of the development. Moreover, there is no discussion of the legality of putting a "hotel -like" development in an area zoned for single family homes. I therefore request: (1) The Planning Commission should refer this matter back to Staff and ask Staff to address the "hotel -like" nature of the development. (2) The Planning Commission should refer this matter to legal counsel for the City for an opinion as to whether a "hotel -like" project such as is here proposed can legally be sited in an area zoned for single-family homes. (3) The Planning Commission should consider whether new provisions of the Municipal Code should be adopted, similar to Section 9.60.280, to address "hotel -like" developments masquerading as single family homes.

Best, Nora and Douglas MacLellan Griffin Ranch 54260 Dark Star Drive La Quinta i 30 Steve and Jeanyne Marshall 54-250 Cananero Circle La Quinta,CA 92253 gi4rsha I c�comeast.net los. 909-2019 Planning Commission City of La Quinta 78-495 Calle Tampico La Quinta, CA 92253 February 7, 2024 SUB ECT: Objection io Development Application for Short -"Perm Rentals al The Estates �7a Griffin Lake (Application Hearing an 2113124) Dear Members of the Planning Commission, We ask you to reject the development application submitted by MDM Enterprises Inc_ and Mark Majerovic for The Estates c@ Griffin Lake, which proposes the use of 78 new homes as short-term vacation rentals. The Mery Griffin Estate is classified as an STVR-exempt zone, with only the original 5 - acre site (lot 79) subject to exemption from the STVR ban. 'rhe proposed new home sites (lots i- 78) are not approved for short-term vacation rentals and should stay that way. This developer's proposed exemption is in the wrong place, at the wrong time, by the wrong company led by the wrong person. The Wrong Place The proposed STVR exemption for 78 new homes would be right in the heart of the existing Griffin Ranch community, which has overwhelmingly opposed the proposal, I ) Over 30 letters to the planning commission before January 9`h oppose the MDM Enterprises development plans for a Short -Term Vacation Rental ban exemption detailing the concerns over noise, traffic, and property values. More are coming. 2) The law firm representing the Griffin Ranch Homeowners Association sent a letter to the City opposing the STVR exemption_ 3) The City has been given an ort -line petition that was included in that HOA letter that lists 415 signatures opposed to the STVR plans, 4) Testimony from several residents of La Quinta at the January 9" planning commission meeting opposing the MDM's STVR plans. 5) The representative of MDM Enterprises, Mark Majerovic, admitted receiving comments and letters from the neighboring community raising concerns. 31 6) An article in the Desert Sun of January 19'' with the headline: "Developer wants 78 new short-term rentals in La Quinta, and neighbors cry foul." The article detailed the "strong pushback from neighboring residents." By contrast, when the City recently approved short-term rentals for the Polo Villas, there were no objections from neighboring citizens, and the property is right by where the loudest events would be held. The Wrong Time Less than 2 years ago Measure A that would have phased out short-term vacation rentals by the end of 2024, except in a few exempt areas, was narrowly defeated by 308 votes out of over 15,000 total votes cast. It was so close the proposed ban was leading on election night, but the no vote took a narrow lead a week later. This is not the time to send a message to the community that despite strong community opposition, the City will continue to expand areas for short-term rentals even where they are strongly opposed. That would make a new Measure A inevitable. In opposing Measure A two members of the City Council said that STVRs. in La Quinta "generate $6 million in annual TOT revenues for the city to provide essential services." If the City approves the MDM Enterprises request to make 78 new homes into short-term vacation rentals it risks a revival of a new more effective ban that would reduce City revenues by $6 million. The Wrong Company led by the Wrong Person The company behind the request for a STVR exemption for "The Estates @a Griffin Lake" is not clear. It may be "NOM Enterprises, Inc.," "MMM Investment Group," "Griffin Ranch Investors LP," or the "Griffin Estate Investors, LP." The representative of all of these entities is the same person: Mark Majer aka Mark Majerovic, who rents the Griffin Estate property as MGE (ex peri encemge.coin). In the last 18-24 months, there have been countless complaints about noise and other activities on the Mery Griffin Estate property rented out by Mr. Majerovic. Attached are files from the City documenting over a hundred of these complaints. The record of these complaints is an overwhelming reason to deny the application by the same company and same representative requesting 78 additional properties to become short-term rentals. Instead, those properties can be sold as single-family homes consistent with the neighboring communities of Griffin Ranch, the Madison Club and the Hideaway. Instead, the question before the planning commission should be whether to revoke the permit or zoning allowing the Estate parcel to continue short-term rentals. It also should be sold or rented out on a long -terra basis in order to end the continuing nuisance complaints. 32 F Because problems with short-term vacation rentals have become a major issue, in 2021 the La Quinta City Council passed two ordinances amending chapter 3.25 of the La Quinta municipal code related to Short -Term Vacation Rentals. The City banned new short-term rental permits except in specially zoned areas, which meant that the Mery Giffin Estate is the only home on the parcel allowed to operate as a short-term rental. The ordinance also provided tougher enforcement provisions for the City to deny or revoke permits. It is under the new ordinance that the existing authorization for the short-term rental of the Griffin Estate should be revoked and any new permits for additional properties be denied.

As a courtesy, I did take a look at the citation and the circumstances in which it was issued. The citation will stand based on the following reason, please feel free to share with • There are specific directions and time limits to request an appeal to an administrative citation. The time for an appeal has been exceeded, no appeal request was made to the Citation Processing Center and the full citation amount has not been paid to date. • The administrative citation was issued on April 11, 2022 for a violation observed on April 10, 2022 between 12:00 a.m. and 1:15 a.m. by our Contract Security Officer. • The Special Event Permit: The only area that mentions when this event took place is the MGE Reservation Summary, attached. It seems to indicate that the event was for April 9, 2022, early afternoon and evening reception. • The approval action letter as you know list general conditions for several events and does supersede the STVR conditions while in effect. However, special events have start times/dates and end times/dates, the events covered under the approval action letter seem to be single day events, with the exception of the Orban Wedding that clearly covered two days. This appears to be the case in the application information as well. • The 'application information", attached, states "Saturday wedding events, late afternoon services followed by early evening receptions" Please let me know if I can be of further assistance to Thank you, 99 Kevin Meredith I Animal Control / Code Compliance Supervisor Public Safety City of La Quinta 78495 Calle Tampico I La Quinta, CA 92253 Ph. 760.777.7034 www.laquintaca.gov www.playinlaquinta.com From: Carlos Flores <cflores@laquintaca.gov> Sent: Monday, May 16, 2022 4:54 PM To: Kevin Meredith <Kmeredith@laquintaca.gov>; Paul Villanueva <pvillanueva@laquintaca.gov> Subject: FW: Citation - LQ200220 Griffin Estate Hello, Sending this to you two, not sure where it left off Carlos Flores I Senior Planner Design and Development City of La Quinta 78495 Calle Tampico I La Quinta, CA 92253 Ph. 760.777.7069 www.laquintaca.gov From: Sent: Monday, May 16, 2022 4:48 PM To: Mark Majer Subject: Citation - LQ200220 Griffin Estate >; Carlos Flores <cflores@laquintaca.gov> EXTERNAL: This message originated outside of the City of La Quinta. Please use proper judgement and caution when opening attachments, clicking links or responding to requests for information. Carlos Hope all is well. Is there any update on how we can/should handle the citation from the Wilson Wedding? Do we need to officially appeal it? Our appeal is based on the fact our TUP permit is about music decibel levels for an event, not whether music is playing after 10pm. We were in compliance for 9.100.210, which is referenced in our approved special permit and the citation. The applicant shall conform to the City's Noise Ordinance (Municipal Code Section 9.100.210) and specifically the following noise limitations during the event: 2 100 Before 10:00pm: Sixty-five decibels (65 dB(A)) After 10:00pm: Fifty decibels (50 dB(A)) If the noise consists entirely of impact noise, speech or music, or any combination thereof, each of the noise levels specified above shall be reduced by five dB(A). I am hoping we can still do something on it. Any guidance is appreciated.

Our appeal is based on the fact our TUP permit is about music decibel levels for an event, not whether music is playing after 10pm. We were in compliance for 9.100.210, which is referenced in our approved special permit and the citation. The applicant shall conform to the City's Noise Ordinance (Municipal Code Section 9.100.210) and specifically the following noise limitations during the event: Before 10:00pm: Sixty-five decibels (65 dB(A)) After 10:00pm: Fifty decibels (50 dB(A)) If the noise consists entirely of impact noise, speech or music, or any combination thereof, each of the noise levels specified above shall be reduced by five dB(A).

Please use proper judgement and caution when opening attachments, clicking links or responding to requests for information. My wife and I are homeowners at Griffin Ranch in La Quinta. We bought our home on Mery Griffin Way in 2020 after spending over a year researching and visiting different communities in the area. The primary reason for our purchase here was the safety and security of Griffin Ranch, as well as the peace and solitude of the community. We are well aware of the consequences of living near short-term rental units as we own a short-term rental in another part of the country. We are very concerned about the impact this could have on our community's lifestyle and property values. There is considerable documentation showing negative home value impact with proximity to short-term rentals. We are currently experiencing significant noise and privacy issues related to the rental of Mery Griffin's estate, which holds regular events for transient visitors. Adding 78 units with 6-7 bedrooms each and allowing 2-3 people per bedroom would increase density to levels that will be disruptive for traffic and noise. This is the very reason we voted no to the STIR referendum in La Quinta last year. Having lived in Indio, we are very familiar with this type of development there and have seen the exodus of private homeowners in the surrounding areas, some of whom have moved into Griffin Ranch. These homes generate significant noise, often hosting parties quite late into the evening and early morning hours, and have been the cause of numerous noise and disturbance complaints. The planning commission should also draw upon their recent experience with the surf park project, which was turned down. In addition to the environmental impact, there was also significant pushback from nearby homeowners regarding lighting, noise and visitor density in a very residential area. This area of La Quinta is viewed as a quiet, serene destination for single-family homes. Adding 78 party houses is not conducive to that image.

Sean & Sandra McNamara 81740 Man O War Court La Quinta CA 92253 Dear Sir/Madam, We are writing to you in relation to the proposed Estates at Griffin Lake development located at the Mery Griffin Estate. We wanted to express our concerns and opposition to the proposed development and the significant impact that it will have on our community in Griffin Ranch. We specifically moved to this wonderful area due to your (La Quinta's City) posture on short-term rentals and the negative impact they have on building a long-term community. We invested all our savings to purchase our home in Griffin Ranch on the basis we would stay here long-term. This planned development would most definitely put our investment decision at risk, as it is proven that having short-term rentals, in close proximity, will severely impact the values of surrounding residential homes. Our community is a quiet residential location with no short-term rental activity. We have already had to suffer many events held at the Mery Griffin Estates with noise pollution into the early hours of the morning and security issues with people climbing over walls into our community so they can then scale the walls into the Mery Griffin estate to "sneak" into an event. With the proposed development these types of issues will become the norm due to the scale and nature of the development and the population they are targeting who will have little care for our community as they are mainly coming to town to party. I attended the planning meeting last week and was appalled when the representative from MDM stood up and suggested he tried to do an "Outreach" to the local community to "no avail". The facts are that MDM provided pertinent information to our community representative 2 days before Christmas, and then said he was unavailable to meet for much of the time leading up to the planning meeting this week. So, I am not convinced that MDM really care about the local community and how we feel about this development. Thanks for your time and consideration on this matter and we trust you will make the right decision to keep La Quinta an area that is focused on building a welcoming and warm community that is the envy of the other surrounding cities.

Attached is my opposition to the proposed exception vote on Griffin Estates. Joel Traina 408/410-9173 158 January 22, 2024 Planning Commission, I am writing this letter to the planning department to voice my disapproval of the Griffin Estate proposal. My name is Joel Traina, my wife Vicki and I moved from San Jose to retire in Griffin Ranch a year ago September and are full time La Quinta residents. What convinced us to live in La Quinta was the community feel of this town. We looked up and down the Palm Springs corridor but were always drawn back to the quiet community feel of Griffin Ranch. We invested our life savings from our home in San Jose to buy our home at the peak of the market. We did our homework before making this major purchase, or at least we thought we had. We researched the capstone lots adjacent to Griffin Ranch and what that development would entail. Single family residences, not a problem. Read about the Mery Griffin Estate issues with noisy parties. We knew these would be infrequent and we could deal with that. Also, we read about the approved proposal to build 78 Single Family homes on the adjacent parcel to the estate. Again, thought well that will increase traffic, but not a deal breaker. Then, just after Christmas we receive a letter from our HOA outlining the developer's request for an exception to make these short- term rentals. We had no prior notice of this exception request. No letters from the developers or city. I was at the last hearing when Mark Majerovic, the developer, stood at the podium, and said he tried to reach out to the community, but response was weak due to the holidays. That is far from the real truth, he sent a letter to our manager Adam, on 12/22(after he was out for the holidays) asking for a meeting but said he would gone for the holidays till 1/7. This developer was hoping to fly this under the radar and hoping the board would rubber stamp it for approval at the 1/9 meeting with no one complaining. He only asked for another extension once he learned that the residents were on to him and this new proposal to make the single-family residences short-term rentals. The city of La Quinta has banned any new short-term rentals after the voters expressed their hatred of them. To even consider trying to justify allowing an exception for the 78 parcels since the Mery Griffin estate's one parcel is grandfathered for short-term rentals is quite the stretch. From what I have seen, these will be 6- and 7 -bedroom homes. Legally a minimum of 12- 15 people per home, potentially 6 to 7 cars per home. Reality says people will stretch the occupancy to justify the high price of the rental. Where will these people park? Sure, the developer will say they have street parking within the property, until the project is complete and then there is an overflow of cars. We have witnessed other communities with short-term rentals where the line at the gate for check in stretches down the street, over an hour wait. They have people parking their cars on the public streets and rolling their suitcases in. This process continues every 3 days with short-term rentals. The Sherriff's department better be prepared for a constant stream of noise and parking complaint calls every day and night. From what I've read of this new proposal, the commission did not require new environmental impact reports or parking studies. How is that possible? Going from 78 Single family residences with one family, too a "hotel" style ownership is an entirely different impact on the community. To summarize I can see no benefit for any resident of La Quinta to justify allowing this exception to be granted. Allowing the developer to proceed will only set a precedent for attorneys to argue to have other vacant parcels zoning changed to allow short-term as well. If passed it will appear that the city and commission are being greedy and only concern is the 159 transient tax money. This project should not be another Silver Rock fiasco. Would you want this next to your neighborhood? I think not, Vote No!

Please use proper judgement and caution when opening attachments, clicking links or responding to requests for information. ** To whom it may concern, My family (of four) is strongly opposed to the proposed development of short term rentals at the Mery Griffin Estate. We purchased our home at Griffin Ranch seeking a quiet retirement, where we could take care of our disabled son. We have come to discover that when the estate is rented out (in its current configuration), the noise emanating from the property is very disturbing. Many times the music goes late into the night, and we have trouble sleeping. This is especially bad during the various musical festivals nearby on Madison. Short term rentals will increase that noise exponentially, during the festivals AND during short term vacation "partying." Lastly, when we purchased our home, we used a large portion of our retirement "nest egg," and are very concerned about what short term rentals, adjacent to our house, will do to our property value. PLEASE do not approve short term rentals at the Mery Griffin estate!

Supporting documents for city approval were provided. Provided black -out dates of Jan 31d to 8th which meant that the Board briefing would have to occur over the Holiday break or on January 21d. The Board convened a meeting on Jan 2nd as requested. Tuesday 10AM Zoom Call with Mark Majer to brief Griffin Ranch for the first time January 2nd 2024 on the development application. Plan details were provided. The Board asked questions directly related to the areas of concern namely how security would be managed and what approach was being taken on noise abatement. Mark joked about NOT being able to answer our questions and said that it was too early in the process to deal with these details. But the Board was told to envision the project as a "hotel, but with houses". Tuesday 513M Planning Commission hearing. Request for continuance granted. January 9d' 2024 Griffin Ranch homeowners in attendance. Wednesday 12:12 Adam Medina contacted Mark Majer to schedule a Town Hall January 10, 2024 PM Meeting at Griffin Ranch. At that time, we said that a Saturday would work. Monday 12:41 Marie provides notice of vacation for Jan 18th — Jan 28th. Adam January 15, 2024 PM confirms these date restrictions by email. We replied: "Will Saturday, March 3 be an acceptable date for you?" This was in fact a typo - It should have read Saturday Feb 3rd. Obviously, we were attempting to reschedule for a day following his vacation but before the Commission hearing on Feb 13th. . same day 2:18 PM Later that day, Mark says he had been ill and was now back to work for the first time since the Jan 9th hearing (now B clays later). He says that "Saturday will be tough" and proposes 3 new dates: Wed Jan 31. Tues Feb 8 or Wed Feb 7 Wednesday 2:45 PM And two days later, Mark requested another date substitution of January 17, 2024 Tues Jan 30th for the Wed Jan 31st date. Thursday 10:05 Adam replied that the Board had already met and selected January 18, 2024 AM January 31 st but that he would see if the 30th would also be ok with us. (Adam replied an hoar later that the Board could also do his revised date of Jan 301) same day 10:31 In a separate email, Mark calls a "time out" because he had just AM learned of the local press coverage. He said that the Jan 30th Town Hall would need to be rescheduled for that reason. Communications Log with Mark Major: Dee 22"tl 2023 to Feta 121' 2024 Initial contact to Town Hall Scheduling Page 2 of 3 Date Time Description same day 11:07 Adam confirmed again by email with Maris that his requested AM date of January 30th would work for the Griffin Ranch Town Hall. -------- GAP Jan 18—30th � 30th NO communications — Mark an vacation. Tuesday 1:30 PM Mark emailed to say he was back. Adam replied within 3 minutes January30, 2024 that he was available all day and provided his direct line. Thursday 6:21 PM Two days later, Adam received an email from Mark where he February 1, 2024 suggests a new approach - two Town Hall meetings: one to collect the issues (already provided on Jan 9th) and a second to formulate and present responses, likely later in Feb. Mark: "I can now confirm my availability to hold the first meeting at the GR Clubhouse on Saturday, February 10th around 3 or 4pm." Never had this date or time been proposed. Friday 8:46 AM First thing next rooming, Adam replies that he would consult the February 2, 2024 Board and get back to Mark right away. 9:29 AM 45 min after that, Adam replies that Mark's NEW suggested date of Feb 10 could NOT be accommodated because it was the Saturday of Super -Bowl weekend and the clubhouse (venue for the Town Hall) was being setup for a Resident's Super -Bowl party the next day. This was the first time Feb 10 was declined. Adam then proposes: Thursday, February 8 at SPM 4:02 PM Later that day: Adam confirmed again by email that Feb 10 would not work (second time Feb 10 is declined). That Thursday Feb 8 remained as the only viable date for the Town Hall before the Feb 131 Hearing and that we needed to broadcast a message to residents by Mon Feb 511 at 5PM. The email also informed Mark that the Board felt that two Town Hall meetings were not necessary because Griffin Ranch homeowner concerns had already been voiced through numerous channels, including testirnonies at the Jan 9th Planning Commission meeting. Monday 10:18 Adam emails Mark to remind him that Feb 10'" would not work for February 5, 2024 AM us (third time Feb 10 is declined) and that we were proceeding on the presumption of Thursday Feb 81- awaiting confirmation from him. Adam explained that the Board needed to broadcast a message to Residents no later than 5PM that day in order to provide fair notice to residents. Communications Log with Mark Majer: Dec 22"d 2023 to Feb 12"2024 Initial contact to Town Hall Scheduling Page 3 of 3 Date Time Description Monday 5:20 PM Seven hours later, Mark emails Adam to say that Feb 8 would not February 5, 2024 work for him, that the Griffin Ranch Board appeared to be going in a "different direction" and that he was still proposing Sat Feb 101' for the Town Hall, despite three prior communications (one just 7 hours prior) that we simply could not do that day. In his email, Mark deflected conversation back to the original discussions of a possible Saturday date (email Wed Jan 10th ) but failed to acknowledge the array of dates we had confirmed along the way to accommodate his schedule. Mark also reiterated his two -phased approach despite our written objections. He suggested having to move to an alternate venue citing problems booking our clubhouse and needing extra time to prepare homeowner notifications and mail -outs when our clubhouse availability has never been an issue except on ONE day — Feb 10'h — Super -Bowl weekend, Sat 4PM. Probability of success: LOW Evidence of delay tactics: HIGH Tuesday Timeout HOA Board reconsiders the nature and effectiveness of February 6, 2024 communications with Mark Majer where attempts to schedule the Griffin Ranch Town Hall do not appear to be sincere and have been unsuccessful since first attempts on Jan 16. Friday 12:57PM Email from Mark to Adam saying that he would be proceeding as February 9, 2024 per his email dated Monday Feb 5'h . which said that he was sticking with Feb 101h despite our communications on the SAME day gust 7 hours earlier) confirming that we could not do Feb loth (fourth time Feb 901h is declined). 1:22 PM Adam emailed Mark as a professional courtesy to remind him that Feb 101 does not work for Griffin Ranch (filth time Feb 100' is declined). Monday 3:22 PM Adam emailed Mark with FIVE dates to choose from and February 12, 2021 reminded him that "only one Town Hall on will be necessary as you are aware of the resident's concerns." Feb 26, 27 or 28 (MonlTuelWed) or March 4,5 (Monrrue) at 4 - BPM which was the time selected by Mark for previous dates.

Please use proper judgement and caution when opening attachments, clicking links or responding to requests for information. ** Dear Planning Dept for LaQuinta, My husband and I bought our house at 54215 Cananero Circle in the Griffin Ranch last year in January. Part of why we liked it is is because the neighborhood was quiet. We used to live in Trilogy not too far away but it was too busy there with people coming and going with cars and golf carts. We are not in favor of renters in this neighborhood at all. If we had renters there would be more traffic, more noise especially during Coachella and Stagecoach with more parties going on here, and so forth. Our wish is that a renting community could be all on its own rather than go into our quiet neighborhood that takes pride at keeping it beautiful and peaceful here. I doubt if Mery Griffen would have wanted it that way as well. Thanks for your help.

Please use proper judgement and caution when opening attachments, clicking links or responding to requests for information. ** Dear Members of the Planning Commission, I am writing to you in opposition to the proposed development at Griffin Estates which is on your agenda for February13, 2024. The owners of Griffin Estates have a long history of violating City laws and regulations. I believe there have been over 300 police complaints lodged against them in the last several years. They have been and will continue to be a bad neighbor and a source of poor reputation for the City of LaQuinta. Griffin Estates is attempting to create an adult amusement park in the middle of a purely residential community. They disturb the peace with every event they have on their property. Now they want to build short term rental units to add to the noise and mayhem - a very bad idea for LaQuinta. The approval of such a development will put additional unnecessary stress on our police services which are solely needed elsewhere. The adjacent community, Griffin Ranch, is home to 283 families - mainly senior citizens who are going to bed when the parties at Griffin Estates are just getting going. Griffin Ranch does not allow short term rentals and we strictly enforce noise codes on ourselves. Also included in their plan is a lake. Who needs another lake in the desert? My wife and I voted recently to continue short term rentals in LaQuinta for two reasons: 1) We did not want the City to lose the tax income and 2) we did not think it was fair to people who invested in homes here to experience a potentially catastrophic shortfall in revenue because of new regulations they could have not foreseen. If there is a proliferation of short term rentals in LaQuinta , particularly in residential neighborhoods, I am sure there will be another ballot measure to end short term rentals and there will be a lot more support - starting with every full time resident of Griffin Ranch. In conclusion, I would say that this is the wrong development, in the wrong place, by the worst possible developer. Attached are photos taken in the last several days of the exteriors of Griffin Ranch and the adjacent Mery Griffin Estates property on 54th just east of Madison. Thank you for your consideration and for your service to the community.

Susan Magrino 81745 Man O War Court La Quinta, CA 92253 Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing you about the proposed Estates at Griffin Lake development located at the Mery Griffin Estate. I am expressing my concerns and opposition to the proposed development and the significant impact that it will have on the Griffin Ranch community. When I selected this wonderful area, La Quinta, I did it to have a safe and quiet home to care for my mother. We arrived in 2018 and immediately fell in love with the warmth and caring of the community and the pristine care put into the village and surrounding lands. We specifically appreciated the peacefulness of the Griffin Ranch and the sense of security in knowing the residents around us. True, the noise is thunderous several times a year, and we saw strangers attempting to follow a resident through the gates. We were prepared to tolerate this disruption because we were warned about the Coachella Music Festival and even Stagecoach. We also understood about the AmEx PGA golf tournament close to Griffin Ranch, but that was the extent of the planned events. When we were moving in October 2018, we heard that Ironman was planned, which, again, we understood. Renting the Mery Griffin Estate for corporate events or private galas does cause a disturbance; however, we are usually warned before the party that it will occur, and there will be a start and stop time. Most often, the event is managed as well as can be expected. Placing 75+ short-term rentals within yards of our homes may be a bridge too far. We all know that short- term rentals are not here for the quiet serenity of La Quinta but instead to party all day and night after they attend the various events held in our valley. Griffin Ranch is NOT a short-term rental community; building these transient accommodations within earshot will damage our residents on multiple levels. I attended the planning meeting held on January 9th with many of my neighbors. I was shocked at how the MDM representative presented the facts and appeared to be uncomfortable with the level of commitment and enthusiasm of our community. We are united on this issue, and I trust you will consider this as you decide. Thanks for your time and consideration on this matter. We know you place the well-being of the city ahead of corporate greed. We trust you will make the right decision to keep La Quinta the 'Gem of the Valley.' Sincerely, Susan A.
