Diane -
Thank you for your feedback and input on the proposed project at Coral Mountain. This project still requires extensive
review by the Planning Commission before a recommendation to the City Council can be made. I have copied our City
Manager on this response in order to file your input into the record and so he can share your information with the
Planning Commissioners and other City Council members.
Thank you.

Subject: Surf Park at Coral Mountain
The reason for my email is to express opposition to the rezoning of the Surf Park . My husband and I
purchased 6 years ago and were very careful in researching surrounding zoning as we did not want to be
anywhere near the Festival fields. Just because a developer comes in with 30 million dollars to change
the entire landscape of a beautiful and peaceful area is just wrong to the many people that have
purchased.
The Surf Resort has not been tested so close to residential areas. In reviewing the Surf Ranch in
Lemoore CA , a project build by Kelly Slater, it is in the middle of agricultural fields. The turbine machine
that operates the waves is load and it is masked by loud music.
The traffic is also a major concern as the only two roads to the park would be Madison and Monroe. What
happens when they have the 5 events a year with as many as 2500 people and we are trying to access
our communities and do our daily chores.? We can avoid Coachella and Stagecoach as there are
alternative routes.
One last comment, Coral Mountain is a beautiful and serene attraction with many natural habitat calling
this their home. This will be a plight in the area, I don’t care how high class they try to make it.
We are many who oppose and we will be bringing our concerns to City Hall.
We are not opposed to progress, but this Surf Park should not even be considered in LaQuinta. Also, I
should add there are other surf parks in the Coachella Valley either approved or being considered. I don't
see how they all can co-exist.
Thank you for your comments.
Cordially yours,
Diane Goodman
